Chapter 960: Tongue Battle
"The third thing I want to explain is about the philosophy of our Dream College. In their open letters, the three professors criticized our current philosophy. I think that our self-enrollment and self-taught degrees are slogans and have no effect at all, but this is not the case. I believe that all parents and students who come here can understand that in China, it is not so easy to innovate and reform. Sometimes, because we are under the rules, we have a hard time. Because, every step we take, we will be questioned by others and denied by others. Why do we still play such slogans, we don't just shout slogans, we want to get the support of the public. We hope that parents and people can stand up and stand by our side to reform and innovate together. Instead, it's just our dream college alone......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ning has something to say.
"The three professors at the University of Hong Kong said that we were only shouting slogans, and they were completely blind to what we were trying to do. Of course, this is also related to their inability to recognize the shape of the country. After all, the geography and government conditions on the other side of the Xiangjiang are very enlightened, and they can also get the support of many people in all aspects of running schools. They can calm down, concentrate on their studies, and concentrate on their subjects. But we have much more to face. ”
"I don't know if the students and parents in the audience can understand what I said."
Zhang Ning looked at the more than 100 students and parents at the scene and said sincerely.
Perhaps because they felt Zhang Ning's sincerity, many students and parents applauded after Zhang Ning explained.
In addition, someone said loudly, "Zhang Ning, we understand you, and it is precisely because we understand you that we came to attend the parent meeting held by your school." ”
"Yes, we have long known that reform will encounter a lot of resistance, but, Mr. Zhang Ning, please don't give up, because, behind you, there are still us."
"Zhang Ningda, you are not fighting alone, all of us support you."
The mood of the parent-teacher meeting seems to have changed slightly.
This made many journalists feel incredible.
Didn't they come to see Zhang Ning's jokes?
Didn't they come to see the excitement?
What's going on.
The jokes are gone, and the hilarity is gone.
On the contrary, this meeting has just begun, and they were actually brought up by Zhang Ning.
Damn it.
Some reporters secretly sell, maybe they have been fooled.
What kind of person is Zhang Ning, he is a genius.
Think about Zhang Ning's speeches at Harvard, Massachusetts, and Oxford University, I don't know how many people were attracted.
Now, Zhang Ning is also standing in front of everyone, not to mention the parents of these students, even those who are opposed, at this time, when they hear Zhang Ning's speech, they will also feel the same way.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Mr. Zhang Ning, we have a few questions, I don't know if we can ask them."
There are smart journalist friends who can't sit still at this time.
If Zhang Ning is allowed to continue talking, I am afraid that the parents and students on the scene will definitely be brainwashed by Zhang Ning.
Not only that, but I'm afraid that some of them, the reporters, will also be fooled by Zhang Ning.
Fight back, absolutely fight back, if you don't make a move, you won't have a chance.
At this time, several reporters opened their mouths to ask Zhang Ning questions.
"I'm sorry, journalist friend, but we're having a parent meeting, although you can ask questions too. But I prefer to leave the opportunity to parents and friends who are present, and if I have time, I can answer your questions. So, I don't know who parents are now, if you have any questions, you can all ask me. ”
Zhang Ning ignored the demands of the reporters and left the opportunity to the parents of the students.
Although, some of those reporter friends were crazy for a while, but there was no way.
In someone's territory, you can only listen to him.
If he forcibly makes trouble, although Zhang Ning is on the cusp, many people will question his school-running philosophy. However, if Zhang Ning starts a fire, it is definitely not something that these little reporters can afford.
"Okay, just give these parents a chance first, and then I'll ask questions."
Although they were unwilling, these reporter friends had no choice but to shut up obediently.
"Hello Mr. Zhang Ning, I have a question I want your answer."
"Excuse me."
"I would like to ask, although we can feel that your school has put a lot of thought into the education reform, and it has also made many people not understand it. However, as a parent of a student who is about to take the college entrance examination, we are more concerned about the school-running philosophy of Dream College. I would like to ask how the Dream College ensures the learning and growth of its students through innovations such as independent enrollment and self-taught degrees. ”
This parent's question was supported by most parents.
In their hearts, this is a question they have always wanted to ask.
Regarding this, Zhang Ning thought about it for a while and said directly.
"Parent, your concern is not unreasonable. In fact, for this piece, we also introduced it when we were in the media before. However, perhaps, we didn't explain too much at the time, and everyone still has some unclearness. So, today, I'm going to be here to focus on explaining to you. As for our innovation and reform, I have said before that our self-enrollment and self-teaching of degrees are not just slogans, although we will also shout such slogans. For example, independent enrollment, our independent enrollment has two aspects, one is a written test, and the other is an interview. Before the meeting, I also shared it with some students and parents. That's not the most important thing, though. In addition to exams, our independent admissions also includes admissions. In order to ensure fairness, and to ensure the admission of qualified talents. At the time of the note-taking and interview, each student will provide a minimum of 12 judges to choose from. ”
"That's why we put forward the slogan of not taking the college entrance examination. Because, in our opinion. Although he is good in some respects, he has been taking the college entrance examination for decades, and his shortcomings have become more and more obvious. As a pioneer in education reform, we have introduced a completely autonomous enrollment and have come up with a fairer, more equitable and more selective talent mechanism. ”
"That's just one thing, and the other is about self-taught degrees. Before that, there were a lot of people worried. What if our self-taught degree certificate has no gold content, because there is no national acceptance, and the society and enterprises do not accept it. My explanation at the time was that as long as there are real talents, as long as they are talents, wherever they go, there will be people who rush to need them. Perhaps, such an explanation is not enough to dispel everyone's concerns about our self-taught degrees. So, here again, I would like to answer the question to you. The reason why we dream that the college dares to award its own degree does not depend on slogans, but on the strong quality of running schools. So, what is the strong quality of running a school? This quality is not how big our school is, nor how tall our school buildings are, nor how many advanced equipment we have bought. The quality of our teaching, the lecturers, is a super strong group of lecturers. I can assure you that in the future, the ratio of teachers and students in our dream college will reach 5:1. In other words, there are 5 students in person, and we have a lecturer. We hope that every student can find a corresponding lecturer at any time and anywhere, so as to find guidance and help. Unlike many colleges and universities today, where a teacher is faced with 20 students, or 30 students. With such a system, the pressure on our lecturers is much less instantaneous, and they will spend more time and energy on training students. ”
"Third, about the content of teaching. In fact, I can say that these teaching programs are dead, and the way we cultivate talents is alive. A poet once said that you don't stick to one pattern to reduce talent. The way to cultivate talents is to be eclectic and restrict our students and our teaching programs to death. In this way, it is also created that what the students test in the exam, what the students learn. Teaching in colleges and universities is not about cultivating talents, but about how to take exams. But our dream college is different, our teaching is not for exams, our teaching is not for the inspection of superiors, in fact, we have no superiors, we have no leaders, we have no directors and directors, we are not administrative. What is useful for us, we teach? We learn what knowledge is useful to achieve the most comprehensive training of students. I believe that this approach is the key to cultivating students in an all-round way and cultivating outstanding talents in an all-round way. ”
Zhang Ning said that he was generous and excited, and when it came to the back, even Zhang Ning himself was moved.
Compared with other major companies founded by Penguin, Zhang Ning has invested the most energy and time.
On the contrary, here at Dream Academy, the rewards and benefits obtained are minimal.
How willing does this make Zhang Ning.
He was also unwilling.
He didn't believe it either.
He didn't believe he couldn't complete the education reform.
He didn't believe he could build the university of his dreams.
"That's a good point."
"I see, I kind of understand what it means to be a self-taught degree in Dream College, it turns out that it is supported by such a strong concept and plan."
Many parents at the scene applauded again.
Subsequently, Zhang Ning explained the questions of parents and students.
"Mr. Zhang Ning, the questions from parents and students are almost the same, I don't know, can we ask questions."
The meeting lasted almost two hours, and the reporters stood up again.
"Absolutely."
This time, Zhang Ning nodded.
He knew that they would not give up if they didn't let these reporters ask questions.
If they are not allowed to speak, I am afraid that this time the parents' meeting will also be questioned by them again.
Okay, let's mention it, these days, Zhang Ning, who has been prepared for a while, is not worried at all.
"Mr. Zhang Ning, we would like to ask if the information about the state's failure to approve the operation of Dream College is true. We want to know if Dream College is really not approved by the state, whether there is a theory that it is illegal to run a school. If so, then how can this ensure the healthy learning and growth of students? ”
One of the reporters asked his own question sharply.
This question is also a hotly discussed issue for many people after the media was exposed.
It's just that before, Dream Academy didn't explain for a while, and this time, this reporter directly and boldly proposed that he wanted to expose the lies of Dream Academy in person.
It's just that Zhang Ning has been prepared for this problem.
"This journalist friend, I don't know where you learned that our Dream Academy is an illegal school. If we had run the school illegally, the state would have banned us a long time ago. But we are still here, and the state and the government are not doing anything. I would like to ask, is this what we call an illegal school? ”
Zhang Ning snorted coldly, "Students, parents and friends. In fact, this journalist friend doesn't ask this question, and I will explain it to you. In fact, our dream college has already submitted an application for running the school, and all the formalities have been prepared and handed over to the state. However, everyone must know. Dream Academy is not an ordinary college, it is a brand new college that carries the education reform. In our college, there are many innovations, and there are also many reforms in education. Like self-enrollment, self-taught diplomas. There is no precedent for any of these in our country. When our qualification procedures are approved, it is inevitable that they are more complicated than those of ordinary institutions. The state has already disclosed the archives of our institutions, such as first-class confidential documents, to the public. This is also the reason why people can't find the archives of our Dream Academy, but we still consider that everyone will still have doubts about the qualifications of our Dream Academy. So, I have a copy of the school-running qualification document stamped by the Shencheng Municipal Government here, so let's take a look. ”
Zhang Ning took out a copy of the text again.
Wen jiàn is the qualification certificate of Dream College.
At the same time, in the lower right corner of the text, the steel seal of the Shencheng Municipal Government is also clearly printed on it.
"I think you have also seen the seal of the Shencheng Municipal Government, I think, even the Shencheng Municipal Government has agreed to our request to run a school, may I ask, those journalist friends who say that we are illegally running a school, do you think that the Shencheng Municipal Government is also lying?"
The powerful school-running qualification Wen Jiàn fiercely refuted these doubts.
This also made the reporter who was the first to rush to ask a question, his face was red and blue, and the difficulty was indescribable.
"Haha, I know, how can Dream Academy be an illegal school?"
"Yes, those stupid forks, I don't want to think about why the illegal school is running a school so far, and the Dream Academy is fine. Do you really think that the country will not see it? This is not a school run in a ravine, and now the Dream Academy is making such a big fuss, not only the people have noticed, but the whole country has also noticed. ”
"Yes, I am more and more supportive of Dream Academy now, because I found that the questions about Dream Academy in the media are all fake and dirty."
"I support it too."
Some students saw the expressions of those reporters, but they were secretly happy, and they were indescribably happy.
This Zhang Ning, sure enough, has a way.
Many reporters in the conference hall were dripping in their hearts, fortunately they didn't ask this question just now, if they asked, I am afraid that they would be the ones who slapped their faces. However, some reporters are still not convinced. Quietly said to his peers that Zhang Ning has a lot of energy, and it is not difficult to get such a qualification. Unfortunately, we are still one step late. It would be nice if we let Dream Academy face this problem head-on before then.
Yes, these days, it must be the Dream Academy that has taken a PR approach.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain such a qualification.
Forget it, let's not discuss this issue, there are a lot of problems in Dream Academy, let's change to another one.
"Mr. Zhang Ning, I also have a question."
Another journalist friend stepped forward.
"Please."
"Mr. Zhang Ning, your speech just now was very good."
"Pay attention to the wording, I'm not giving a speech."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang Ning, your answer just now is indeed very good, and what you said is also very good. However, we don't want to listen to these superficial things anymore, and we don't want to listen to the so-called slogans anymore. In my opinion, whether it is your teaching plan or your teachers, it is all in your imagination. In other words, you are not actually doing it. The teacher-student ratio of 5:1 you mentioned, we would like to ask, what are your teachers, and why don't we see ......"
"That's what you say."
Teachers, how could Zhang Ning not take it into account.
After the reporter's question, Zhang Ning was about to say.
It's just that at this time, Zhu Qingshi quietly said something next to Zhang Ning.
"Dean, something is wrong."
"What's going on?"
"The teams from several colleges and universities that I contacted before were detained by major universities when they set off to come to our dream college."
"What, deducted?"
Zhang Ning was so angry that he vomited blood.
"What's going on, how can you be detained?"
"I don't know, according to them, the universities don't allow them to work with us."
"I cǎo......"
Zhang Ning really wanted to scold her mother.
"Why didn't you say it sooner."
Zhang Ning's face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, Dean, I just received the news."
"Okay, I got it."
With a calm face, Zhang Ning faced the reporter again.
"Mr. Zhang Ning, why don't you answer?"
Seeing Zhang Ning and Zhu Qing whispering a few words, the reporter who asked the question suddenly became excited.
Looking at Zhang Ning's expression, he knew that something was wrong.
Although this journalist friend didn't know what the problem was, he absolutely believed that Zhang Ning must have been stumped by himself.
"May I ask what kind of teachers are in your school?"
"This friend, what are you doing in such a hurry, I said, I will answer you."
Zhang Ning's mind was racing, and he had to think of a way.
After more than ten seconds, Zhang Ning said.
"Our faculty is very strong, not only professors and scholars from well-known universities in China, but also well-known professors from abroad. Domestic, such as CUHK, many lecturers. For example, Dean Zhu was the President of CUHK before that. I believe you also know that at present, Dean Zhu is holding the position of vice president of our Dream College, and Dean Zhu is here with Li Sixing and Fang Zhi...... and other professors, in domestic physics, are very researched. As for foreign countries, we have sent teams to cooperate with some universities such as Harvard, MIT, Oxford, etc. I believe that it will not take long for everyone to see. ”
Of course, this answer is not detailed, and there are some elements of deception, and it is not specific.
What Harvard, MIT, it's impossible.
However, this is also Zhang Ning's best answer so far.
"So, next question."
I don't want to dwell on this issue, the more entangled, the bigger the problem will be exposed.
It's just that the reporter friend seemed to see Zhang Ning's thoughts, and when he saw that Zhang Ning wanted to change the topic, he immediately said loudly, "Please Mr. Zhang Ning face the question I asked." "Dean, something is wrong."
"What's going on?"
"The teams from several colleges and universities that I contacted before were detained by major universities when they set off to come to our dream college."
"What, deducted?"
Zhang Ning was so angry that he vomited blood.
"What's going on, how can you be detained?"

"Why didn't you say it sooner."
Zhang Ning's face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, Dean, I just received the news."
"Okay, I got it."
With a calm face, Zhang Ning faced the reporter again.
"Mr. Zhang Ning, why don't you answer?"
