Principal Wan couldn't hold back any longer, he turned off the microphone and asked Chen Geng in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, what you said is true? Mr. Buffett really went to the New York Stock Exchange when he was 11 years old instead of 12, and his father was really a member of the US Congress?"

Chen Geng pursed his lips and said softly: "President Wan, I know Mr. Buffett ...... you."

Warren Buffett and I know each other, do you think my words are reliable, or is this author who may have never met Warren Buffett at all and dared to write casually based on some rumors?

Principal Wan finally understood the meaning of Chen Geng's words at the beginning: it is indeed to cultivate students' ability to think independently, if it weren't for what Chen Geng said, everyone would come to different conclusions when looking at the stock market because of the different industries they are engaged in, but no matter from which angle they come to the same conclusion: compared with the United States, China is not good.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Pursing his lips, Principal Wan whispered to Chen Geng. As an educator who has been working on the front line of secondary education for many years, he knows all too well how important the information revealed by Cheng Yan is to the education community.

"You're welcome. ”

"Mr. Chen," a girl suddenly stood up, "May I ask you a question?"

"Of course," although there was some surprise, Chen Geng still smiled and nodded: "But I don't guarantee that I will be able to answer." ”

"I'm sure you will be able to answer," young people are vigorous, this girl does not give face to Comrade Chen Geng, a good friend of the Chinese people, at all, and regardless of whether Chen Geng is willing or not, she directly puts Chen Geng on the fire: "My question is, I heard that in the United States, all that is implemented is quality education, advocating entertainment and education, and allowing students to learn knowledge through games, may I ask, is this the actual situation?"

Hearing this girl's question, the faces of the teachers present suddenly changed, they were really worried that Chen Geng's answer was the last thing they wanted to hear, and the students present had their eyes lit up: this question is too special.

Chen Geng secretly sighed in his heart: Sure enough, no matter what time it is, the students' reactions to learning are the same.

Facing Principal Wan's somewhat worried gaze, Chen Geng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Your question is a little difficult for me, how do you let me answer this, I have to think about it...... Well, let me make sure, you want to study in the U.S. after graduating from college, right?"

"Yes," the little girl said with undisguised yearning and pride on her face: "The United States is the center of science and technology in the world today, and most of the world's top science and technology come from the United States, and education is the cornerstone of science and technology. ”

"Well, it seems that your grades are very good, and I also wish you to be admitted to the ideal university," Chen Geng nodded first: "I believe that this issue is also the concern of the vast majority of the students present, whether the grades are good or relatively not so good, right?"

The students burst into laughter.

Indeed, those with good academic performance think that the American learning methods are more advanced, and those with poor academic performance think that the American learning style is relaxed, and it is no wonder that students think so, people are born with laziness.

"Education, or learning, is never easy, maybe finding the right learning method will make you a little easier, but this ease is only relatively easy, please note, it is only relative," Speaking of this, Chen Geng's expression finally became serious: "This classmate, I don't know where you heard that American schools are easy to learn, but what I want to tell you is that in the United States and even in the world, it is not a good university to study easily."

Some say there are more than 3,000, some say more than 5,000, but whether it is more than 3,000 or more than 5,000, the ones that can make students feel relaxed are the universities at the bottom of the rankings, and what are the students who come out of these universities? I am not afraid to tell you that they are so-called 'college students' who cannot even solve simple unary equations, and the students in these schools are easy to study, let alone homework, even if you don't come to the classroom for a month.

But really good schools, like the famous Ivy League schools......"

"Mr. Chen, what is an Ivy League school?" Before Chen Geng's words were finished, someone immediately asked in a loud voice.

Principal Wan's brows suddenly furrowed.

Chen Geng waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, he didn't mind, but he was a little curious in his heart, students in this era, haven't they heard of the famous Ivy League schools in the United States?

"The so-called Ivy League schools in the United States are a sports league formed in 1965 by eight universities in the northeastern region of the United States, including Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University. With a long history and the largest production of Rhodes scholarship winners in the United States, it is a natural choice to represent the top universities in the United States.

Here I must emphasize to you that the Ivy League schools are undoubtedly the most outstanding universities in the United States and even the world today, but it does not mean that the most outstanding universities in the United States are these eight, such as Stanford University and MIT, their strength is not weaker than the Ivy League schools, just because they are not in the northeastern region of the United States.

In addition, public universities such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary, the University of Miami, Oxford, the University of California, the University of Michigan, and the University of Vermont have the same educational standards as the Ivy League schools.

In addition, public schools such as the University of Colorado Boulder, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Pennsylvania State University Berke, University of Pittsburgh, State University of New York at Binghamton, University of Washington, University of Wisconsin-Madison and other public schools are also only slightly worse than Ivy League universities.

I've said so much, and what I really want to tell you is that all the nearly 30 top colleges and universities in the United States that I mentioned, their students' daily time is full, and it can really be described as 'getting up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs', and the intensity of learning will only be higher than yours.

As for the so-called 'quality education' that many of you here have in mind, well, I'm not afraid to tell you that in American supermarkets, those waiters who 'buy something for a dollar, you give her two dollars, and hope that she will find you a dollar of money, but he will not look for you for a dollar of money, but will only look for you for a dollar of change or look for you for two cents and seven, and take seven cents and three as a tip for you', are all from your so-called universities that promote quality education...... If those community colleges could be called universities. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Geng paused slightly, and said very seriously and seriously: "Learning has never been an easy thing, maybe mastering the appropriate learning method will make your learning process relatively easy, but it is only limited to the learning process of the school, and after you work, you will find that learning is throughout your entire life, and there has never been a seemingly quality, but in fact it is called lazy education method."

Of course, maybe it's because I don't know enough, but I want to say that so far, I haven't seen a top university where the learning process is easy, whether it's Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, among all the top universities I've visited, their students have a very hard learning process, and I can even describe it as hard......"

"...... Uproar"

The teachers suddenly applauded spontaneously.

In fact, it is not that they have not seen the disappointment in the eyes of many students, but at the moment they don't care at all: Have you heard it? Do you really think that the quality education in foreign countries is good? The so-called quality education is all fools, and when your "quality" is finished, you will not even be able to solve the one-dimensional equation, and you will see if you are still of quality?

Chen Geng frowned involuntarily: What are these teachers doing, it's just a hindrance!

Fortunately, Principal Wan's reaction was relatively fast, looking at Chen Geng's expression, and then looking at the students' reactions, he immediately realized what the problem was, and hurriedly made a gesture secretly, signaling the teachers to stop quickly: What are you applauding, do you know that you are causing chaos?

I have to say that the adults reacted relatively quickly, and the teachers quickly realized the inappropriateness of their actions, and the applause quickly calmed down.

Chen Geng then continued: "In fact, the truth is very simple, many knowledge points can only be mastered by repeated practice, just like some sports, such as the men's 100 meters in track and field, anyone can run, but if you want to get good results or even become a world champion, you must transport the most scientific way to analyze the most suitable cadence and stride length of the athlete, and then through years of exercise, the athlete can form the most reasonable cadence and stride."

Is it useful for a 100m athlete to know how much cadence and stride length he needs?

This is true for sports, and it is the same for your learning. ”

Having said that, as for whether these students can accept it or not, that's their own business.
