Years from now, there will be an argument in society that our education system is a failure, and that everything from elementary school to college and beyond is a waste of students' time.

Only professional writers need to know so much about language; only professional mathematicians need to know about mathematics; English? how many people work as translators and go abroad? how many people are all over the street, and how many people have learned but forgotten? Making education too complicated is counterproductive. From a practical point of view, the knowledge learned by junior high school students is enough to meet the needs of most ordinary people in life and work.

Li Jiaming also thought deeply of this kind of argument, but as he grew older, he found that it was a fallacy, or that it was the sophistry of the ignorant. In addition to learning knowledge, reading can also cultivate people's thinking ability, for most people, receiving junior high school education, the greatest significance is to exercise their thinking ability.

For example, Li Jiaming's aunts will take the initiative to distinguish between good people and bad people when they watch TV, and even if there are no ones in it, they will find out the 'good guys' and 'bad guys';

Just like the hit "Desire" a few years ago, the aunts cried a lot, and Li Jiaming and Dong Hao felt that except for the songs, the rest were useless; even the Li Jiade brothers, who were not in high school at the time, only felt touching, thought that art came from life and was higher than life, and did not take the TV series seriously, sympathizing and worshiping Liu Huifang.

Li Jiaming is fortunate to have the thinking ability of an adult and the memory ability of a teenager, so that he can stand out among many students. He has always believed that his own hard work and mature thinking ability are his real greatest reliance, and the fundamental reason why he can suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The reason is simple, even if you know about the upcoming historical events, where will the first pot of gold come from? How can you convince people who are smarter than you to share their success, or even recognize you as the leader? Everyone is an independent existence and has their own thoughts, the more excellent people are, the more independent their personalities, thoughts, and values, which can be easily fooled by others?

The so-called 'as long as you go back in time, everyone can be a great man', that's just a joke. If you don't have enough knowledge and ability, even if you know that World War I and World War II will break out, you will not be able to explain the historical, political, and economic reasons for this, and draw an inevitable conclusion, but you can only act as a magic stick.

Returning to the matter of reading, excellent students are nothing more than excellent memory and thinking skills, that is, the person is usually said to be smart, plus his own efforts. Li Jiaming has always thought that he is not a genius, and he does not have the terrifying IQ of his fourth brother, but he has the ability to analyze the cocoon, and as long as he works hard, he can always achieve results in his studies.

But he was wrong, it turns out that relying on hard work and mature thinking ability alone, he can indeed excel in the general field, but in the special field genius is still a genius, and success depends on the inspiration of the one percent, not the sweat of the previous ninety-nine percent.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Jiaming, according to his own habits, first made the test papers that the teachers racked their brains to. After just ten minutes of doing, Li Jiaming's brows began to wrinkle, and he began to forget the existence of time, and when two and a half hours passed, the teacher asked him to stop answering the questionnaire, and he woke up like a dream.

Raising his head, Li Jiaming saw the faint disappointment in the teacher's eyes, although he knew the result, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The questions on this math test paper are extremely complicated, it's not that Li Jiaming can't do it, it's that he can't find the easiest way in a short time, so he can only do it in the stupidest way. But if you can't find the easiest solution, how can you finish such a difficult test paper in just two hours?

Hey, that's the difference between geniuses and mortals!

No matter what, you can't be a genius, as long as you do your best and can be admitted to a prestigious university, you can comfort your mother's soul in heaven. Li Jiaming, who was mentally mature, got up, bowed slightly to the teachers who had been with him all afternoon, picked up his schoolbag and left the office.

As soon as he appeared downstairs, Mao Yan and Zhang Shaolong, who were waiting downstairs, swarmed up and surrounded him, eager to know the result.

"Jiaming, how's it going?"

"I've been hit, I guess it's good to pass. ”

Li Jiaming's self-deprecation made Zhang Shaolong disagree. How can high school be compared with junior high school, I have studied with the boss, and I can't get eighty points in the exam.

"That's also amazing, tsk, physics was so difficult last time, and the paper that the teacher specially gave you must be even more difficult!"

didn't even understand the content of the exam, so he was so foolish, Li Jiaming pulled the kid's arm away and scolded: "Hurry up and get out, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten yet!"

As soon as he mentioned eating, Mao Yan hurriedly grabbed him and told him: "Jiaming, you go back quickly, Sister Zhonghua's car at half past five should be at the house now!"

Oh, by the way, the eldest sister came back to discuss the mushrooms, and Li Jiaming hurriedly took his bicycle and hurried home.

Li Jiaming went home to eat, and Mr. Jin in the office didn't have the heart to eat, even if his wife sent her daughter to call a few times, he still pulled a few math teachers to discuss first. He teaches Chinese, and he can't see how this test paper is, but he has to know the results as soon as possible, and discuss how to cultivate this genius child who has finally appeared.

The two young math teachers couldn't see anything, and they both thought that Li Jiaming was quite good, and he could score 70 points in such a difficult test paper.

"Director Jin, this kid is very talented, a little worse than Li Jiade, but much better than children of the same age. ”

"Well, I also see it that way, Zhang Shaolong in our class is good, but he is a lot worse than Li Jiaming. If he wants to do this volume, he can get more than 30 points at most, but Li Jiaming has 72 points!"

Teacher Wen, who has been teaching mathematics for 30 years, didn't see it that way, he looked at it carefully, pondered for a while, and said disappointedly: "Lao Jin, I think this kid has an average IQ." ”

"Impossible, right?"

"Really".

Teacher Wen, who is old, pointed to the three proof questions that Li Jiaming racked his brains to make, and explained: "If Li Jiade is asked to do this question, it must be the easiest method, but this kid uses the reverse deduction method." There is also this way, this way, I found that his reverse thinking ability is particularly strong, but his abstract thinking ability is average, and his reaction ability is average!"

Another old math teacher also stared at the questions and agreed: "I think what Lao Wen said makes sense, and the proof questions are the most testing of people's abstract thinking and logical thinking." This child's mental arithmetic ability is not as good as Li Jiade's, and his reaction ability is slightly worse, and the only thing that is stronger than ordinary children is the ability to think backwards. ”

Mathematics is the king of science, which can most intensively, profoundly and typically reflect the height that human rational and logical thinking can achieve. This is also the reason why Jin Zhengchun asked Li Jiaming to take the mathematics test, instead of physics and chemistry, and only an old mathematics teacher like Mr. Wen, who has been teaching for decades, can roughly see the student's qualifications through a mathematics test paper.

The hopeful Jin Zhengchun was disappointed, and it was really like what the kid himself said, he just had a smart brain, and he was stupid and the bird flew first, so he could stand out among his peers. But all kinds of competitions, in addition to diligence, also need talent, and talent is something that can be made up for by diligence.

Teacher Wen next to him is not disappointed, geniuses are so easy to come out, Li Jiaming is not bad as a child, as long as he maintains this learning attitude, he will have great hope for Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future.

"Lao Jin, I want to test this kid again tomorrow, if he has mastered the knowledge of the first year of high school, there is no need to fry the (leftovers) rice. ”

This is the right matter, the unwilling Teacher Jin thought about it and agreed: "Yes, you have to teach according to your talents, this child has strong self-control, there is no need to detain him." If you can take the exam for Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, you can also win glory for the school!"
