SHT Chapter 33

"Andrew, do you know where he lives?" Finally, Edward asked after thinking for a while.

"Edward Sir, I don't know. But I can ask my former junior high school friend for you." Andrew said.

Edward nodded, asking him to try not to mention this to others when he returned to the classroom.

Children, their curiosity is quite strong.

Andrew would definitely be questioned by his friends when he went back, asking why Edward Sir was looking for him.

So, Edward had to remind him in advance.

Andrew smiled and nodded, "Got it, Edward Sir."

After he left, Edward fell into contemplation. How should students like Jamie be guided?

He clearly possesses excellent academic talent, but now his grades are a mess.

It is obvious that after experiencing a family tragedy, he has suffered a great psychological blow, resulting in his current state. Mental illnesses are hard to cure.

Edward is just a physical education teacher, not a psychologist. For the time being, he didn't have any good solutions.

He shook his head, 'let's think about it later.'

"Knock, knock, knock."

Someone knocked on the door. Edward snapped out of his chaotic thoughts and looked up. It was the most beautiful teacher in Horizon High School, Katherine.

"Katherine Ma'am."

Edward composed himself, stood up with a smile to greet her. However, to his surprise, Katherine had a cold expression on her face.

"Edward Sir, I have something to ask you." Katherine said in a stern voice.

"Katherine Ma'am, what is it? Come in and tell me." After a brief thought, Edward roughly guessed why she came to find him.

In the second period that just ended in the morning for Class 9 of Grade 11, it was Katherine's math class.

She must have noticed that there were two less students in the class and came to discuss it with him. Edward couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

At the same time, he admired Katherine's dedication to teaching. At least the teacher for the first language class didn't come looking for him.

For a class like Class 9, which consisted of underperforming students, not all subject teachers were willing to teach them wholeheartedly.

Unfortunately, apart from Katherine, all other subject teachers have been teased by the students. No matter how good their temper or ethics were, teachers always harbored some dissatisfaction.

Therefore, almost all subject teachers taught seriously and left immediately after class.

As for whether the students in Class 9 came to class and listened attentively, they didn't care. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Edward knew that to completely change others' perceptions of class 9 of grade 11, there was still a long way to go.

At least for now, with all subject teachers willing to teach them, Edward was already content.

"Why didn't Keith and Mike come to class?" Katherine walked up to Edward, slightly tilted her head, and asked angrily.

She had thought that the handsome homeroom teacher of Class 9 shared similar educational ideals with her yesterday. But now it seems not.

Allowing students to skip class openly? What a way of "spreading knowledge and solving doubts".

Thinking that her ideals had been tarnished by someone like Edward made Katherine furious. Katherine's angry appearance had a certain charm to it.

Edward, seeing this, felt that the title of the most beautiful teacher was well-deserved to Katherine.

He calmly extended his right hand in a gesture of "please," with a faint smile on his face, saying, "Katherine Ma'am, don't be angry. Please have a seat first, and let's talk slowly about it."

With that, Edward took a seat first.

Katherine snorted lightly, still wearing a cold expression, sat across from Edward, staring at him. She was waiting for Edward's explanation.

Seeing Katherine's demeanor, Edward wanted to laugh but dared not.

"Katherine Ma'am, they didn't skip class; I had other arrangements for them."

Edward thought it was better not to say anything, but now that he had spoken, Katherine was even more furious!.

"Other arrangements? You let them go play games instead of attending class? Is that your so-called 'other arrangement,' Edward Sir?"

Edward was taken aback, "Huh? Katherine Ma'am, you knew?" He thought Katherine was unaware.

Katherine looked angry, glaring at Edward, and said, "Edward Sir, how precious their time is? How could you allow them to skip class and play games?"

"Katherine Ma'am, how much is your monthly salary?" Edward asked with a smile.

His question left Katherine speechless.

"I'm discussing students' learning issues with you, and you're asking me about my monthly salary?" She felt completely unable to keep up with Edward's unconventional thinking.

Before she could recover, Edward continued, "Mike earned three thousand dollars last month."

Seeing the shock in her eyes, Edward knew that Katherine only knew half of what happened with Keith and Mike, prompting her to come and argue with him.

She only knew that he took Keith and Mike away, letting them skip class. But she didn't know why.

Indeed, upon hearing Edward's words, Katherine looked incredulous and said, "Edward Sir, are you joking with me?"

Edward smiled and shook his head, replying confidently, "Katherine Ma'am, I'm not joking with you. And I can responsibly tell you that this will be the least amount Mike earns from now on. So, Katherine Ma'am, why should we teach a student like this in the usual way?"

Upon hearing Edward's words, Katherine was taken aback. Earning over three thousand dollars in a month, and this would be the least he earns in the future? How is that possible? However, she was still a young teacher, much more open to new things than those seasoned teachers.

Her expression softened, no longer icy, as she asked in confusion, "Edward Sir, what's going on?"

During the class just now, she noticed two students were missing in the class. After class, she asked the math class teacher Ben Thomson. And after hearing Ben's words she became angry.

Class 9's homeroom teacher, Edward, had taken two students away during the morning session. As for where he took them, Ben had no idea.

He only told Katherine that the two students had been given the privilege by Edward Sir to skip class and focus on playing games or writing novels.

Katherine couldn't believe it. So she rushed here immediately. After listening to Edward's explanation, Katherine finally understood.

'I see. So in the class 9 of grade 11 that everyone despised, there are actually two exceptionally gifted students. How come nobody noticed them before?'

Katherine is not like some old-fashioned teachers who rigidly stick to teaching methods.

She is a top student from Era University. She had lived in the bustling and diverse city for several years, experiencing the vibrancy of the metropolis. She has even read online novels during her studies.

She knows how much money top online novel authors can make. But she never imagined that in the class 9 of grade 11, looked down upon by other teachers and students, there is a student like Mike destined for fame.

As for Keith? A gaming genius who can reach the highest levels in multiple games. Katherine, like Edward, also sees a bright future for him.

"Edward Sir, I'm sorry for coming to question you without fully understanding the situation. I hope you don't mind." said Katherine, blushing with embarrassment upon learning the truth.

Edward smiled and shook his head.

"Katherine Ma'am, as I told you yesterday, when I took over class 9, it was to guide and enlighten them. Keith and Mike are two typical examples I singled out. I just want to tell the students of class 9 one thing. An extraordinary person doesn't necessarily have to excel academically, but they must have a special skill. That's the lesson I want to impart to them."
