"Aunt Wang, we shouldn't disdain our own people, right? Principal Wu, you see, young comrades should be full of vigor, right? We can't all be like old pedants, can we? Or else, how would the kids be willing to attend classes?"
"Besides, if we get official teachers, don't we have to build dormitories for them? And wouldn't we also need to hire chefs for the canteen? That's a lot to ask for, isn't it? It's so much better to use us, we're cheaper and easier to manage, suitable for lodging and home."
Li Dahe didn't know what others thought, but he felt that what Comrade Xiao Lin said made a lot of sense.
Of course, he wasn't unwilling to build dormitories for the teachers. The commune would allocate funds for that, so he didn't need to worry. What he was thinking was—given the state of their place, why would any official teachers from the city or town want to stay?
What would the kids do if the teacher couldn't stay and left?
