The school leaders and teachers had anticipated the commotion among the parents at the scene.
Each class's homeroom teacher was calming the parents' emotions.
Li Hongsheng had those who were there to receive awards step down, leaving only Yun Yue standing there alone.
"Please calm down, parents. The school will give you all an explanation."
Liu Xiaoyan forced a smile as she soothed the parents from Class One, whose reactions were the most intense, as if they wanted to rush up and tear down the stage themselves.
"I wanted to ask you, Mr. Liu, aren't you the homeroom teacher of Class One? Isn't Class One supposed to be the best class? Why then did the last-ranked Class Seven surpass us in this month's exam?!"
"Yes! It's bad enough that Class One isn't first in the grades, but we only had four students in the top ten, and our average score was even 10 points lower than Class Seven. Don't you think you owe us an explanation?!"
