61 Tears of the Educated Youth (8)

As soon as Yang Ke's idea was spoken, it was like a stone falling into the water that stirred up Lang flowers, opening the floodgates of Zhao Huimei and Fang Ling's wisdom, and all kinds of methods were thought of.

"We can also teach singing." Fang Ling said.

"It's also possible to send the children who learn home to teach the adults so that they can have an impact." Zhao Huimei said.

The plan for running a literacy class, the three educated youths decided after repeated deliberations, and explained their ideas and implementation steps to the captain, and obtained Qin Dahai's consent and support, using the two vacant houses of Li Yujuan, who had remarried, as classrooms, and began to mobilize personnel to "enroll", and the literacy class headed by Fang Ling in Daqinzhuang was successfully opened.

Fang Ling, Yang Ke, and Zhao Huimei, three literacy classes run by educated youths, went from house to house to mobilize for "enrollment" in the first two days of the "school year." Just as they estimated, except for one parent who had not gone to school at school age, the other 14 children agreed to let the children go to school, plus three 15- or 6-year-old girls and 5 17- and 8-year-old boys took the initiative to ask for literacy, and a total of 22 people started the literacy class. In order to alleviate the concerns of some students' parents and the worries of older young people about work, Fang Ling asked Yang Ke to give a brief explanation before starting the lecture according to the plan she discussed with Zhao Huimei and Yang Ke:

"The purpose of our literacy classes is to enable people who are illiterate or have little literacy to know and write more words, so that they can read books and newspapers in the future. There is no charge, but you need to buy your own paper and pen, because we intellectuals don't have money to buy them for you; If you really can't afford it, you can also find other waste paper to write, and we will still correct it for you; Considering that older students need to help with some work at home or mow the grass to earn more work, the time to attend classes can be as long or as short, and the class time can be adjusted and changed in time as needed. The number of words to learn can also be determined according to the ability to accept and digest them, and there is no need to force uniformity. ”

When the class officially started, Fang Ling hung the wooden board with the names of the crops "wheat, barley, sorghum, corn, soybeans, red taro, rice, and peanuts" on the wall of the classroom. After teaching a few times, let the students read and write on their own; From shuffling the order to reading it collectively to reading it by each person, repeating it a few times, and then asking each person to write it on a piece of paper. While writing, Fang Ling walked back and forth, instructed the posture of holding the pen, answered the questions raised, collected the inconsistent homework books, put them in order, and wrote everyone's names before announcing that everyone would go home.

From the second class, Fang Ling asked a few children about the situation, most of them could still remember, and used the same method to teach some words of the names of farm tools, and did homework, Fang Ling decided to extend the time a little, and corrected the homework in the classroom, corrected and consolidated it in time, and improved the literacy effect. After teaching like this for half a month, most of the people knew and could write the words they had learned, and although two of them could not come to study because of something, there were still a few new participants in the room. As time passed, the earliest participants in the study were able to write 70-100 words alone, and the handwriting was much more neat, Fang Ling, Yang Ke, and Zhao Huimei felt that the literacy class was okay, and Zhao Huimei and Yang Ke asked Fang Ling to take a temporary break, and they talked about some scientific and legal knowledge every now and then, so that the people who participated in the literacy class felt that they had increased their knowledge a lot.

The literacy class in Daqinzhuang cannot be said to be changing with each passing day, but it is also changing from time to time: the number of people has increased from 22 at the beginning to 42 now; The content of teaching and learning has also gradually expanded from simple literacy teaching at the beginning to training in word formation and writing. From the active and passive point of view, from the beginning of the house-to-house mobilization to the present students take the initiative to find "teachers" to give them lectures; In terms of age, from the oldest at the beginning of seventeen or eighteen years old to the current twenty-eight or nineteen years old; In terms of consolidation rate, it has also developed from the beginning of the fluctuation to the current basic stability, and there is a tendency to increase; In terms of imparting knowledge, some students are no longer satisfied with the understanding of words and words, but take the initiative to ask for more scientific and legal knowledge. Due to the early and late entry of the students, the disparity in age, the speed of acceptance, and the uneven differences, Fang Ling, Yang Ke, and Zhao Huimei, the three "teachers" really have a lot of brains, and often revise the "lesson plans" according to the actual situation. Some knowledge is something they already have, and some knowledge they don't know much about, so they can only learn and teach at the same time. The literacy class in Daqinzhuang is impressive and practical, and has been well received by the local people and people with conscience, and the literacy class in Daqinzhuang is full of vigor and is in the ascendant.

The literacy class in Daqinzhuang, from the beginning of the autumn to the period after the Spring Festival, cannot be said to be able to start classes normally every day, but it can be said that there is very little time missing. As long as there was no work to do, the "students" would come to the door and let Fang Ling teach them. Although the three educated youths are higher than them in terms of education and are teachers, in terms of age and size, some of them are older and taller than them. They had to take turns to teach one person until the next day, when the farm work came out. After teaching in this way for two winters and springs, most of the people who participated in the literacy class were able to write 200 or 300 words, and those who were willing to work hard mastered 5 or 600 words. Reading books and newspapers except for some of them I don't know, I can basically read them when they connect them smoothly and smoothly. This makes them happy that they are relentless in their learning. Just as people who have just learned to ride a bicycle always want to ride a bicycle every day, many of them have begun to practice writing what they want to say with what they have learned to write, not to mention some words and sentences about breaking superstitions and scientific farming, and some of them have really used the words they have learned to write love letters to their friends of the opposite sex who they love, which can bring big trouble to their "teachers"!
