Hedong, Dazao Village, the first public school.

Dazao Village is a relatively large village in Lin Anyi, because this village is larger, the children of about a dozen villages around are gathered here to go to school, because there is no way, the teacher resources are too limited, the teachers who can be assigned here are only three poor people, but their students are an astonishing more than 700 people, and the burden of the three teachers is still very large.

Although the local county government has provided great help, for example, they have built a new school, and some of the classrooms have been put into use, and the whole classroom is a brick structure, which is very large, safe and strong. But teacher resources are simply too limited. This makes their situation very unfavorable.

"Hello teacher. Hello teacher. "The children happily greeted the teachers at the school, who were the people they respected the most, because the learning built by the IRA taught something practical.

"These children are very polite, they are very respectful of the teacher, so, a lot of times, it is very beneficial for us to carry out our educational work." Teacher Zhang said this, and nodded on Tuesday. He had only been studying for less than two months before he came out for an internship. The salary is paid according to the salary of ordinary teachers, there is no way, there is a lack of teacher resources, and these teachers who are still in school have to come here to teach some knowledge to children while studying. It was in such a situation that he was assigned here as an intern on Tuesday, but his treatment was still relatively good, and it was a good start for him.

Teacher Zhang is a declining scholar from a nearby village, knows some words, and has not read too many books, but it is enough to teach these children. The Republican Army found him as soon as possible and gave him a good salary. He agreed to do so. He is currently the principal of the school, but the locals and children prefer to call him Mr. Zhang.

"These walls are all children's masterpieces, and some of the children's homework is done on them." Teacher Zhang said with a smile. What I saw on Tuesday was that on some of the walls made of larger stones, there were all kinds of words, large and small, and even some pictures, which were written by the children with chalk, and their fonts were neat and crooked, and it seemed that the children were still very serious.

"Why are they writing on this?" Tuesday asked puzzled. After all, the Republican Army still provides some paper, and he knows that such a public school will provide more learning opportunities, as long as they have such learning opportunities, many of their things can be done in a favorable situation, and this is an important opportunity for them to learn at present. With such an opportunity, many things for them will become much more advantageous.

"Oh. These, our conditions here are a little bad, although it will give us more paper, but there are too many children, pen and ink, not enough, many times, only children who perform well will use it, this is still homework, extremely neat people have a chance, other times, more is, write on their small slate. Teacher Zhang said.

"Do you see the little slabs that the children are holding? That's their paper, it's also their textbooks, and we give each of us two pieces of chalk a day, and the senior ones will give more of them, so that they can learn some knowledge better, and this kind of thing is a huge opportunity for them. Teacher Zhang said. Tuesday nodded.

The children's small schoolbags are made of some old clothes, or sewing and mending rags, and some are directly made of sacks. After all, in some areas, the conditions are still very difficult, and many families may have solved the problem of food and clothing. Going to school, which is still the Republican Army's management of a meal, and the mandatory order to do this, many times, these children still have too few opportunities to learn.

Paper is not available in every school, older students can use it, and students can buy newspapers and some books of their own. But for these rural public schools, their conditions still do not reach such a level, students in the lower grades, there is no opportunity to get paper learning, in order to save paper, and to be able to learn more knowledge in the future, they have to use things like slate to carry out, the conditions are good, but also parents according to the school's appearance, with wooden boards, brushed with black pot ash made of small blackboard. Most of the children use this way, chalk, small slates, and that's all they do at the moment.

The scribbles on the stone pencils are their homework, so to speak, and these children are reviewing what they have learned.

"So how are these kids doing in their studies?" Tuesday asked curiously.

"Well, how to say, better than their parents, many parents of children in the village, think that their children have a future. Even if they are girls, they also know some words, they think that they may be officials in the future, even if they don't become officials, it is good to be a teacher, because teachers have a lot of subsidies and earn a lot. Teacher Zhang said with a smile. It is true that many parents of children educate their children in this way, not only because of the teacher's salary, but more often, because the teacher's profession is very good. The most important thing is that if the teacher is going to take the exam in the future, there is no burden on the teacher, which is their highest priority.

"Well, it seems that the parents of the children also have long-term plans." Tuesday said with a smile. These children from the countryside are very practical, that is, to solve the problem of food first, and then other problems.

"So, the course, what kind of course do we have here?" Asked Tuesday. That's what they're curious about, after all, he's here for an internship.

"Well, we have literacy in our curriculum. Mathematics, history, physical education, chemistry, and physics are all available in the upper grades, but we have craftsmen, carpenters in the village, to do such things, which is called craftsmanship. Teacher Zhang explained. Tuesday nodded.

Knowing words, mathematics are easy to understand, these are the basics, the school has more courses on this, but after the senior year, mainly sports, craftsmen learn more, mainly to teach them some skills, in this way, they enter the society to have a skill. This is something they have to learn, after all, education is mainly for use, and learning is useless if it cannot be used.

History course is the most willing place for children to learn, history, in fact, is to tell stories, some old people in the village sometimes will also listen, history has a special historical foundation, telling what happened in ancient times, these historical stories, greatly expand the children's horizons, they are the first time to know, outside their village, there is such a thing happening, which makes them feel very surprised.

Listening to history is also a kind of education, and this education is embodied in the view of history.

For example, the historical view of the IRA is patriotism, republicanism, and responsibility. If you look at history from such a point of view, let the children know that in ancient times, there were emperors who made achievements, and if the emperors did something, they lived better, and if some emperors did nothing, or even violently, their situation would be very bad.

The old people in the village will also recall such things, at this moment, the microscopic history of the individual and the historical knowledge they have learned, have collided, so that the children can better understand the era they are in, and the background. A lot of sublimation of their ideas began to happen. They began to have their own ideals, their ambitions, and that was the most important thing about history lessons.

"Well, the history class is not bad, but let's open some educational courses above, and these educational courses revolve around patriotic, national, and republican education points."

On Tuesday, they said that they came according to the syllabus, but to teach them specifically, that was their business, and they needed some teaching materials.

"Well, the children here are very interested in historical stories, you don't know, when you take a class like this, it's dark, and a lot of people from the village come to the class, and they listen to a lot of people, and they forget to eat." Teacher Zhang said with a smile

"That's good. However, I am still a little confused about how to run such a course. Tuesday said worriedly.

"Oh. In this case, I have a way, for example, you can read the newspaper, I found that these people are very interested in current political news, for example, some time ago, we were at war against the Huns, and the people in the village, the children were clamoring to be soldiers. The children, as well as the old people in the village, thought that they should fight with the outside world, so that most of the things would be solved. Teacher Zhang said.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll know." Said this on Tuesday.

The purpose of learning is not only to teach knowledge, but also to develop the brain. That is, the development of ideas, if you use the thought course directly, it will be very boring, and they need to be developed in various forms. And that's what such a course is for.

The emancipation of the mind is the greatest emancipation, only in this way can the republic go further, in order to embark on a new road, Shangwu attaches great importance to this, and it is this emphasis that has led to some new changes in the curriculum, which is where they need to make changes, and these changes will greatly help them solve more practical problems. These questions. It will solve the ideological problems of the people, and then let their minds be liberated. That's what the IRA is for.
