This year, the middle school students had two extra evening study sessions after their daily classes.
Students didn't have to pay for these two evening sessions, and the school didn't force them to attend. The teachers received the same salary as before, yet they were working over two hours extra.
But even so, the teachers eagerly vied to teach these classes, especially for the ninth-grade classes. They were practically fighting over the chance to teach everyone.
And not a single student or parent decided against attending because it was too dark out.
You couldn't find a single child in the entire school who skipped the evening study sessions.
Whether their grades were good or bad, every single student attended.
This was a bit easier for the kids from town, who could leave school together in groups since they didn't live very far.
But it was a different story for the children from the villages.
