Chapter 257: Symposium on Academics and Interests
In the class of Senior Brother Xiao Su in the No. 1 Middle School in Shanzhong County, a discussion called "Academics and Interests" is being held.
Gu Xiaobai sat on the podium with four people, and Senior Brother Xiao Su personally served as the host.
At the back of the classroom, several principals and directors of the Academic Affairs Office of Yamanaka County No. 1 Middle School also moved chairs and sat in the back, quietly observing.
There is also a camera set up next to the school, and the whole process will be recorded on the school's website, which will be viewed by all students and parents of the whole school.
This discussion on "studies and interests" is a lesson that Senior Brother Xiao Su wanted to teach to his students a long time ago.
Today's young people, even those in poor counties, are exposed to far more things than before, the world is much wider, and everyone has something they like.
But in this kind of county school, once you enter high school, if you don't want to use the beauty of sound and body to add points, these things that will distract people from learning will be abandoned, and they will even be regarded as enemies by schools and parents.
Not to mention games, or anything like that, it's a flood beast.
Strict guarding will inevitably lead to great rebellion.
In this kind of time, it is difficult to buy an inch of time, and it is actually the biggest waste to spend a lot of energy on internal friction and self-restraint.
Senior Brother Xiao Su said: "The question we are going to discuss today is which is more important than studies and interests, and how to balance the relationship between studies and interests, do you have any questions for the four teachers?"
As soon as Senior Brother Xiao Su's words fell, under the stage, Zhu Yuhu's hand was raised high.
"I want to ask Mr. Xiaobai, why do you want to sing? Don't you think it's a waste of time? Isn't it good to spend all this time on studying?"
Zhu Yuhu has wanted to ask this question for a long time!
However, he was directly tired and stupid by Zhou Xianting's 40 squats and 40 push-ups and 40 squats before, so he didn't have time to ask.
"Hmm......" Gu Xiaobai felt that this question was deeply in my heart, and he nodded and said: "Actually, singing is really a waste of time, if I can, I also want to spend all my time on study and scientific research." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Haixia next to him was unhappy: "I don't like to hear what you say, what is a waste of time in singing? How good it is to sing!"
The system is at the bottom of the phone, and it is secretly noted.
Zhu Yuhu, rapping is a waste of time, you wait!
Wang Haixia is still a good classmate! Do you want to give him some rewards?
"Yes, Xiaobai, since you started singing, it's much more interesting than before. Zhou Xianting nodded.
"Was I bored before?" Gu Xiaobai was dazed.
Several people nodded their heads one after another.
In the past, Xiaobai was not only boring! It was simply very boring!
It's still so fun for Xiaobai now, you can go to sing together, go to the rooftop waves together, make drums together, and write songs together.
It's all a credit to the singing!
If it was a former novice, he would only go to self-study with everyone, maybe he wouldn't even come to this volunteer teaching.
"Hmm......" Gu Xiaobai pinched his chin, as if recalling how he was bored at the beginning.
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt ...... I've always been a funny person, okay?
You must be trying to discredit me!
The other three rolled their eyes with disdain.
I'm really funny, okay! What kind of eyes do you have! Gu Xiaobai died of grievance.
"So, Xiaobai, do you think that studies are more important than interests?" asked Senior Brother Xiao Su with a smile.
"Of course. Gu Xiaobai nodded, "Academics are the most important, and you have to deal with your studies first before you can take into account your interests." ”
"What about you?" Senior Brother Xiao Su asked the other three.
"Interest. Zhao Mo, who brushed up on a new game all night the day before the college entrance examination, was concise and to the point.
"You can't generalize, it depends on what kind of interest you have, what kind of study you have. "Zhou Xianting has dialectical thoughts.
"It's just as important!" Wang Haixia said that he would be supernatural after spraying people, "Finding a way to combine studies and interests is the most important thing!"
"Classmate Zhao Mo?" Senior Brother Xiao Su felt that Zhao Mo and Gu Xiaobai's diametrically opposed views were actually more impactful.
"Academics don't define who you become, your interests and talents. Zhao Mo said a word, looked at everyone, and threw out three words: "Zhao Yuanren." ”
In the audience, the students and the teachers who were watching were at a loss, who is Zhao Yuanren?
Wang Haixia helped Zhao Mo explain: "Zhao Yuanren is a famous linguist, composer, philosopher in China, and one of the founders of the China Science Society. ”
Everyone in the audience is still at a loss, so what?
When Mr. Zhao was at Cornell University in the United States in 1909, he initially majored in mathematics, elective physics and music, and later received a doctorate in philosophy from Harvard in 1918, and returned to the Department of Physics of Cornell University in 1919 to teach. His greatest achievement is in linguistics and music, and he is the father of our Chinese linguistics. ”
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
This job change is simply too gorgeous.
Studied mathematics, got a degree in philosophy, taught physics, became a great musician, or was he the father of linguistics?
"Interest and academics. Zhao Mo spread out his hands and made a seesaw movement, his right hand raised, and his left hand fell, "Interest leads to study." ”
The audience in the audience thought, yes, oh, how could he become a musician and the father of linguistics if he had no interest in music and language?
"This is just one example. Gu Xiaobai shook his head, "Domestic masters, Li Siguang wrote China's first violin piece "Difficult to Walk"; Qian Xuesen is good at trumpet and clarinet; Yuan Longping is good at violin; Xu Bao, the founder of modern multivariate statistical analysis, is proficient in Kunqu opera, but their main business is still scientists. Internationally, let's not talk about all-rounders like Leonardo da Vinci and Leibniz, Einstein's violin, Feynman's tambourine and drawings, and Goodman's opera...... Achievements in interest do not mean that interest is more important than academics, they still benefit the world in their studies, and their interests are actually not worth mentioning in comparison. Therefore, I think people can be interested, but if they delay their studies because of interest, they are putting the cart before the horse. ”
The audience listened dumbly.
These people ...... Not only academically, but also in interest?
Hearing Xiaobai say this, Wang Haixia didn't like to listen to it, he said: "Greek mathematician Spyridon (Spiros) Michalakis, at the age of 29, proved important mathematical theorems related to topological quantum physics, but changed careers to be the scientific consultant of "Ant-Man", "Doctor Strange", and "Captain Marvel", the influence of these three movies does not need to be said. You see, interest. ”
Brian Harold May, rock star, guitarist for Queen, author of "We will rock you," returned to school in 2006 and earned his Ph.D. in astronomy the following year. ”
"Kip Thorne, winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, retired in 2009 as an executive producer and scientific advisor to make "Interstellar", "Interstellar" black holes are so mysterious and mysterious, I don't need to say, look, interest. ”
"Teacher Chen Haiyong, a master of semiconductor physics, has a song "Will Enter the Wine" that is popular all over the country, and I haven't seen him go to be a singer, studying. ”
Brain Wecht, a theoretical physicist and string theorist, quit his job at the age of 40 to play a band full-time as a game streamer. ”
The stage has already turned into three other people fighting Gu Xiaobai.
In the audience, both the students and the teachers looked sluggish.
They listened to the arguments of the four people on the stage quoting scriptures and scriptures, and listened to the names they mentioned, and they only had one idea in their hearts.
Phew, academics and interests, do you deserve to discuss?
What's even more ironic is that Gu Xiaobai, who is dismissive of his interests, has ...... in music
Compared with others, is your study called study? Is your interest called interest?
Oh, stand down, mortal!
