Chapter 185: Children don't need to learn English

Teacher Wang smiled proudly and shouted to the child, "Han Ziwei!

When the child heard this, he got up. didn't run, walked over slowly, first gave Teacher Wang a proper Han salute, and then gave Wang and his party a salute, and stood beside Teacher Wang.

"Ziwei! This uncle is going to test your scriptures," Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Don't embarrass me!"

Han Zi thought for the child for a while and said, "Uncle, I have studied the two scriptures of "Analects" and "University", can you ask me about the content of "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Guanzi", "Han Feizi", "Xunzi" and "Zhongyong"!"

"How old are you?" Wang Yi asked, "Do you want to learn so many scriptures?"

Han Ziwei nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, we basically have to know all these scriptures before we go to junior high school! I'm 5 years old this year!"

Wang Yi felt incredible, thought about it, and asked: "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new." What does that mean?"

"Uncle, what this sentence means is that if it is washed in one day, it should be washed every day, without interruption!

Now Wang Yi couldn't close his mouth in surprise, no matter what the child's answer was, he should praise it without a pause!

"Do you memorize it every day!" Wang Yi asked, "Then do you learn anything else?"

"Of course we have to learn something else!" Han Ziwei said proudly: "We also learn calligraphy, arithmetic, and painting!"

"How far do you do math?"

"Addition and subtraction within 100 places, multiplication formula table!"

Wang Yi was convinced and nodded. Teacher Wang asked the child to go back.

"Dad," Jiajia saw that Han Ziwei replied very neatly, and said, "This little brother is so powerful! Dad, can you teach me this?"

Seeing two children with such a strong desire for knowledge, Wang Yi didn't mean to dampen the children's enthusiasm for learning, but just took a preventive shot in advance!

The two children looked at each other, feeling a little discouraged.

"Don't listen to your father!" Teacher Wang said, "I'll find you a gentleman, teach you, and see if you learn quickly!"

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he beckoned to a Hanfu girl, and the Hanfu girl came over and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Teacher Wang pointed to Nan Nan and Jiajia and said, "Take these two children over and teach them to memorize excerpts from the Analects!

The girl took Jiajia and Nannan away.

"Teacher Wang, why do you want to start a academy?" Wang Yi was a little surprised and asked, "What is your ultimate goal in doing this?"

Teacher Wang looked at the rippling water in the distance and muttered: "We have a long history of 5,000 years in China and have the most splendid cultural foundation, but the vernacular movement a hundred years ago has shaken these things, and I am afraid that the foundation of China will be broken!"

"In addition to Confucianism!" Wang Yi said: "I just heard Han Ziwei say that you also teach Taoism, Legalism, and so on, which school are you?"

Teacher Wang smiled and said: "I really don't have a faction yet, if you want to talk about faction, I belong to the Huaxia faction! Don't think of Confucianism when you mention traditional culture." The precious wealth left by our Chinese sages is so dazzling, I don't want to be blinded. ”

Seeing that Wang Yi was listening very carefully, he continued: "Whether it is Taoism or Legalism, we need to inherit and carry forward, and each of them is an important part of the cultural genes in the blood of our Chinese nation. ”

Treating such a cow, Wang Yi really can't say anything. I had to ask, but I still didn't accept students. Plan to send your child to school.

Teacher Wang did not refuse, gave Wang Yi the address, and asked Wang Yi to take the child tomorrow.

Wang Yi asked again, aren't they all advocating the establishment of private kindergartens now, and why didn't Mr. Wang set up one?

Teacher Wang sighed and said, "I want to too, but now I really don't have the money to do this, so I can only run it as an interest class." ”

"How much does it cost?" asked Wang Yi.

"It will take at least 2 or 3 million to start in advance!" Mr. Wang smiled bitterly and said, "You sell me now, and you can't make it up!"

Wang Yi had some plans in his heart, but it was not yet time to speak, so he diverted the topic and said: "Mr. Wang, I want to ask, for example, how can a person be considered good? Should he move forward bravely, or hide his talent and live a low-key life?"

"Tianxingjian gentleman should strive for self-improvement!" Teacher Wang said: "The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue." No matter what you do, as long as you are worthy of your conscience, you will be considered to be living well. ”

As he was talking, the old man and the old lady pushed Nannan's grandmother to come, and saw Wang Yizheng chatting with a middle-aged man in Hanfu. didn't go up, ran to the side to watch Jiajia and Nannan study.

Teacher Wang looked at Wang Changming and said, "Is your father?" I still have some impressions, walking on the street, I'm afraid I won't dare to recognize it, time is really unforgiving!"

Wang nodded and said, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, let alone my parents." ”

The two chatted for a while, and the Hanfu girl just now came back with Jiajia and Nannan, two little girls, both very smart. Each of them recited a short passage of the Analects to Wang Yi. Not to mention, both of them memorized it clearly. Make Wang Yi very happy.

"Teacher Wang!" Wang Yi suddenly remembered and asked, "It stands to reason that you should open an English class!

Teacher Wang shook his head and said, "I don't approve of children learning English very early, English is a language, and speaking, this is the focus of teaching and learning." It's a bit of a reversal of the cart!"

"What does Mr. Wang mean?" Wang Yi didn't understand too much.

"Huaxia has praised English too high, and even the college entrance examination has a great weight!" Teacher Wang said: "This is a bit too much, now I have been learning English since the third grade of primary school, and there is a bilingual early childhood education that makes money, and adding an extra course of English, it seems that the grade has gone up, and the fee is extremely high!"

Teacher Wang stood up, looked into the distance, and said, "Why doesn't English need to be compulsory?"

First, the compulsory English language violates the laws of human cognition and physiology (memory).

Even if it takes a lot of time and effort to really master English, you can independently apply what you have learned. This is not possible for the vast majority of Chinese people. Because it is not commonly used in life. Even if many people spend a lot of time and energy, they don't use it in their lives after passing the exam, and they still give it back to the teacher after a long time.

Second, it is also a false proposition to believe that "only when all people learn English well can China make great progress in science and technology".

Which foreign language were China's four major inventors proficient in? How many of China's inventors other than China's four major inventions were proficient in at least one foreign language? Some time ago, when we saw that Japan and Germany were developing science and technology, how many of their scientists were proficient in English?

Third, making English a compulsory subject is the opposite of the desire, and it will make China's science and technology regress!

Many outstanding talents in other subjects are lost to the country and the people because of the wall of English blocking their way?

Of course, I do not deny the role of foreign languages as learning and communication. But this only applies to a very small number of people, and those who need to use a foreign language will try their best to learn it themselves, and there is no need to force it at all. And the vast majority of people who don't need it, if you force them to learn, they can't learn.

The 99% of people who do not need to use a foreign language in their lifetime are forced to spend too much time and energy learning a foreign language. This in itself is a very inhumane thing! It is a big step backwards in education!"

Mr. Wang's tirade is indeed very in-depth and insightful. 10
