Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 310: Chapter 308: Studying, But Only What One Chooses to Learn

An interesting point emerged.

After learning advanced teaching ideals overseas, you return home only to find that there’s no way to implement them due to a lack of teaching resources.

Such situations are actually quite common.

For example, in the field of psychology, which Nan Zhubin is proficient in, many psychological theories and techniques—"many" could even be replaced with "the majority"—originate from abroad. Hence, when introduced domestically, they require localization adjustments.

The situation that Coach Wang and Vice Principal Ma are discussing is something Nan Zhubin is no stranger to.

But there’s a problem here—they are "sent abroad for school-sponsored advanced technology learning."

In such cases, they face a situation: After returning from being sent abroad to learn technology, they need to quickly and surely improve performance.

According to Coach Wang and Vice Principal Ma, they learned a technique that seems fresh but can’t be used due to objective reasons, yet now face more objective demands to improve objective results.

In this situation, they have two choices: One, as Nan Zhubin suggested, is to quickly complete the localization adjustments with extraordinary work ability, and then apply the new method to practical work intensively, achieving good results.

This situation—it’s not impossible, it’s not impossible!

You should always believe that there are beings in this world beyond one’s imagination, capable of easily achieving what ordinary people cannot.

But,

The situation of Li Mingchen and Xu Pengcheng doesn’t seem to fit this possibility very well.

The reality fits another scenario—

...

"Principal Ma, when did you start implementing this ’coach system’?"

"...Earlier this year."

"Great, then could you please let me take a look at each student’s records from earlier this year to now?"

Nan Zhubin smiled, "I assume you have them, right? Every student’s physical test results, training plan, physical data, etc. You should have these, right?"

Vice Principal Ma’s face changed. They indeed had them, and must have them.

These are the most basic "report card" type data, and lacking them would reflect a failure in school education.

Nan Zhubin quickly got what he wanted and began to browse through.

Behind him, Chonghui and Chang Ming leaned in as well.

Soon, both their brows furrowed tightly.

Chonghui, the most knowledgeable about athletic training among the three, spoke incredulously, "This training volume! Can students really complete this?"

Nan Zhubin pondered, reading aloud what he saw, "The training volume for students who pass the physical test is quite standard, while those who fail do near 50% more than those who pass?"

Chonghui furrowed his brows more deeply, "Logically, shouldn’t it be the physically stronger students who are capable of completing more training? Shouldn’t weaker students gradually increase their training?"

"...No!"

Seemingly unable to bear the prolonged silence.

Hearing Chonghui’s questioning, Coach Wang instinctively responded, "It’s because they’re weaker that we need to add more training. Otherwise, how will they pass? How will they catch up to the better-performing students?"

Huh?

Vice Principal Ma didn’t even have time to stop her outrageous talk.

Only after seeing Vice Principal Ma’s expression did Coach Wang realize she had misspoken.

However, Nan Zhubin continued, following Coach Wang’s line, "With this much training for Li Mingchen, can he complete it every day?"

This question needed answering, and Coach Wang hesitantly replied, "Sometimes yes... sometimes not really..."

"Sometimes yes, sometimes no? When can he, and when can’t he?" Nan Zhubin smirked, "Is it more often that he can, or more often that he can’t?"

He fired a series of questions rapidly, but the earlier questions were just to confuse the respondent’s mind.

In such circumstances, the respondent would instinctively answer the last one.

"More often can’t..."

Excellent!

Hearing this, Nan Zhubin looked at Chang Ming.

Chang Ming nodded to Nan Zhubin.

With this statement, Li Mingchen’s situation was almost conclusively determined.

...

Having spent money to study technology abroad, regardless of what was learned, there is a mandate to come back and play an active role—it’s a goal, even a task.

Whether it’s the coaches acting on their own, or Vice Principal Ma or other school leaders exerting pressure, it doesn’t matter. In any case, the coaches, including Coach Wang, upon returning from their studies, must ensure that their students show a performance improvement in a short time.

Thus, the new foreign techniques could only become a superficial layer to turn the original "coach system" into a "dedicated teacher system" with no substantial changes, even if the teachers and students’ athletic projects don’t match, facing unfamiliar training demands, they have to grit their teeth and push forward.

Therefore, the only way to achieve quick student results is to use the old methods, the rigid methods, the clumsy methods—continuing to increase training volume.

Hence, a "new system" dressed in a fake new shell, wrapped inside with bloated old methods, rolled out.

The "new system" was indeed implemented, and students’ performance did improve, allowing Vice Principal Ma to proudly introduce it to others.

Problems naturally surfaced unconsciously.

"Wanting to learn advanced systems and techniques, but only learning the most convenient superficial layer; even finding that superficial layer too troublesome, opting to downgrade it."

Nan Zhubin said calmly.

"Ignoring the true essence, and in the end, trying to imitate without understanding, encountering issues without ever realizing it."

It’s similar to those small companies wanting to learn management systems from advanced firms, but only adopting surface elements like competitiveness and overtime, while ignoring crucial aspects like EAP and incentive compensation.

Vice Principal Ma felt bewildered and somewhat angry at Nan Zhubin’s ridicule, naturally sensing the offense in his words.

At the same time, with his extensive experience, he could sense that Chang Ming was already showing a reaction like "I’ve gotten what I wanted, it’s about time to leave."

"Director Chang, what does this teacher mean by these words?"

Vice Principal Ma didn’t communicate with Nan Zhubin, but turned to Chang Ming instead, "What’s the assessment of Li Mingchen’s situation? Isn’t this inquiry or accountability now? As the school, don’t we have the right to understand the student’s situation?"

This request was certainly reasonable.

Chang Ming pondered for a moment and told Vice Principal Ma about Li Mingchen’s [Neurotic Anorexia] and suspected [Anxiety Disorder].

Afterward, Vice Principal Ma’s face visibly reddened.

"Director Chang, we are doing this for the kids, for their grades, for the college entrance exams!"
