Chapter 22: Deception is not education

"Now it became clear to me that a score of 1 in Germany is a high score, and a score of 1 on Einstein's math test means that he learned math very well. Chen Yu'an listed the grading criteria for Germany and the United States by the way.

In Germany, 95 - 100% of the questions answered correctly are very good, 1.0 points are rated, 90 - 94% are rated 1.3 points, 85 - 89% are given 1.7 points, 80 - 84% are given 2.0 points, 75 - 79% are 2.3 points, 70 - 74% are given 2.7 points, 65 - 69% are 3.0 points, 60 - 64% are okay 3.3 points, 55 - 59% are 3.7 points, 50 - 54% are several 4.0 points, 0 - 49% A score of 5.0 is given for failing, and the highest 5 points are the worst.

If you look at the United States, 90-100% correct answers are A gives 4.0 points, 80-89% correct answers are B gets 3.0 points, 70-79% correct answers are C has 2.0 points, 60-69% only D gives 1.0 points, and 0-59% F gives 0 points.

If in the United States, Einstein can still apply this story if he scores 1 point in the math test, but his primary school is in Germany, and one point is definitely a high score, and the German grading standard is more stringent than that of the United States, as long as you answer more than ninety percent of the questions correctly in the United States, you can get the highest evaluation, and in Germany it is more than 95 percent.

First of all, in Einstein's resume, I saw this record: In 1895 (at the age of 16), Einstein taught himself calculus, and I shuddered when I saw this, I am also 16 years old, and I don't know anything about calculus at all.

And I dare to say that in my high school, a provincial key high school, among all the first-year high school students, although there are many who can score more than 130 points in the usual math test, I guarantee that none of them dare to say that they know calculus.

If even Albert Einstein's mathematics was bad, then in my opinion, 99.99 percent of the students in the country would not need to study mathematics.

Let's look at another newspaper advertisement: Albert Einstein thought that university or high school students would thoroughly teach physics and mathematics, and that he had a teaching certificate at the Zurich University of Technology, and that everyone was able to teach mathematics to university students.

Oh, by the way, Zurich University of Technology may have a good reputation, but I checked the world university rankings, Zurich University of Technology has long been in the top 20 or even top 10 in the world, and I don't know where it is higher than our Tsinghua University and Peking University! Chen Yu'an shook his head when he wrote this, Tsinghua University and Peking University during this period were quite low in the world university rankings, and even in Asia, they were far behind the University of Tokyo and even Nanyang Technological University.

In addition to Einstein, he has also trained 20 Nobel laureates such as Pauli and Roentgen, one of the most influential mathematicians in the 20th century, Braun, a rocket expert and pioneer of human spaceflight, Jung, the pioneer of analytical psychology, and many other academic masters, in addition to Mr. Zhou Peiyuan, professor and president of the Department of Physics of Peking University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, intelligent control expert, Mr. Wu Qidi, professor and president of Tongji University, and vice minister of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.

To be admitted to such a top university, how could Einstein's math skills be poor?

Oh, by the way, there are not many people who say that Einstein was poor in mathematics, for example, Hilbert said that the children on the road in Göttingen knew four-dimensional geometry better than Einstein, Minkowski said that Einstein's special relativity mathematical form was rough, and Chen Shiingshen said that Einstein did not understand global differential geometry.

But it also depends on who said this: Hilbert was a leading figure in the world of mathematics in the 20th century, who was in charge of the Göttingen Department of Mathematics, which dominated the first half of the 20th century, and his Hilbert 23 questions have guided the direction of mathematics to this day; Minkowski was also an authority in the field of mathematics, and he was also a mathematics teacher of Albert Einstein.

Needless to say, Chern is known as the father of differential geometry and the greatest Chinese mathematician of the 20th century, and these people are naturally qualified to criticize Einstein in the field of mathematics, but I don't know which field of mathematics the author who said that Einstein was bad at mathematics is an authority in which field, what contributions have he made, and what qualifications do he have to despise Einstein's mathematical level?

I'm afraid he doesn't even understand calculus, right? Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?

Liang Jingru sang the song "Courage" in her second solo album released on August 2 this year, so the above paragraph was born in this world more than ten years in advance;

Okay, let's just assume that the writer only occasionally heard the story of Einstein's score on the math test, and didn't know that one score was the highest score in Germany, but after so many years of this article's publication, and countless teachers have used it as an example to educate their students, has no one noticed this problem?

We send a lot of students to Germany every year, and there are not a few who return to China, and it is not a year or two for Sports Weekly and CCTV Sports Channel to report on the Bundesliga.

Is it because you don't feel that it doesn't matter or you don't want to lose this good educational material? But what I want to say is that deception is not education! It is shameful to rely on false examples to educate students! This is true of "Summer Camp Competition", and the same is true of Einstein, who scored a point in mathematics!

Presumably, we don't want to see that after a certain game, Yang Chen's outstanding performance was rated as one point by the media, but many people criticized Yang Chen for getting the lowest score, right?

This kind of coaxing education is boring, and I hope the teachers can be more sincere...... Ten finger crossing activity activity had some stiff fingers, Chen Yu'an put an end to the article, checked it again, corrected a few typos and punctuation marks, and then sent it to Fu Xing.

This time, he did not forget to indicate the words "New Concept Essay Contest" entries on the email, and I believe that this article will definitely pass the review of Sprout Magazine soon.

After doing this, I feel that today's task has been completed, Chen Yu'an returned to the banyan tree again, ready to see if there are any new discoveries, if not, he can go back to rest.

Many people replied to the post about cranberries, including many famous young writers in the future, and Chen Yu'an replied to their messages one by one.

After turning a few pages, a familiar name suddenly appeared in his eyes, hey, isn't this the nickname that Chang Qingqing is used to? Now Chen Yu'an sat down again, and his core team finally arrived!
