Chapter 3 Differences vs 18 What is the school like?

Early the next morning, Liu Man pulled his father, who was about to go out for a run, and said, "Don't run, this school has nothing but desks and chairs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hehe, you see, my daughter knows that she is in a hurry. We always urged her to do this and that. Liu Yao said happily to his wife.

"Oh, you can say something useful." The daughter was anxious and angry. Yao Ying also began to realize that she was not prepared for running a school at all, and looked at her husband with her eyes open.

"I have a plan. Since I came into this world, I have had a plan. Liu Yao took out a stack of papers and spread them out one by one for the two ladies to see. You see, it looks like the result of my calligraphy, but in fact I copied what I used in school. ”

One stack is the literacy curriculum of the Mengtong class. "Man is born free in heaven and earth. Like a bird flying in the sky, a beast walking in the forest, like a river traveling on the ground, the natural right is also. No restrictions on others. "Food, clothing, fields and houses, people live if they have it, and people die if they don't." Those who have rights can keep it, but those who don't have rights cannot. "The rights of man are limited to the rights of others." Fertile and fertile land, everyone wants to have. The land of the unowned is obtained by the cultivators, and the land of sale is obtained by those who are at the highest price. "I grow grain, you raise pigs and cows, and he fishes fish and shrimp." Grain for pigs, shrimp for grain, both parties agree to exchange. If you don't agree to change it, it's robbery. ”

"You, where are the literacy textbooks, they are all political textbooks." Yao Ying looked at the paper with a little hesitation, thought about it and said, "Moreover, a seven-year-old child, where can he learn these complicated things?" ”

Liu Yao said undoubtedly: "It is extremely irresponsible not to discuss politics in any world, and politics is the lowest foundation for the operation of any society, and it must be established correctly." Moreover, there is not a very strict control of thought in this world, at least not outside the realm of ethics and morality. It's not in the way that we can do this stuff."

"The content is good, but I don't think children can understand such a complicated thing." Liu Man also said worriedly.

"Well, that's what I thought. Our school is not responsible for teaching everyone well. In fact, this is how schools should be. Everyone should have their own unique learning method. With this pile of paper, some children can learn the words on it quickly, and some can't learn it in half a day. can learn to move forward and keep learning new content; If you can't learn it in a short time, you can learn technology, and you can know a few hundred words. ”

"You're separating people at such a young age, aren't you?" Liu Man asked in surprise. In the original world, she was also faced with the fate of choosing to go to vocational high school after graduating from junior high school, but coming to this world allowed her to avoid this major choice.

"You must be reminded of the junior high school graduation exam that you didn't be able to take. For your sake, I've learned that Germany is the so-called dual system of education. When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I started a diversion, and some of them went in the direction of vocational high school. When I graduate from junior high school, I have determined my future direction. I was nothing more than bringing forward what the Germans did at the age of 10 to at the age of eight. Another thing is that our education will be very open. Some children mature mentally, and when they are able to learn abstract things and want to learn, they can go to school again. ”

"That's to enter the junior class you are talking about here?" Yao Ying picked up another pile of paper and flipped through it, with words such as "literacy, arithmetic, surveying and mapping, sports, and labor" written on it.

"The junior class is considered the original junior high school, and these classes cannot start until junior high school. Mengtong's class is considered a primary school. In the first year, students learn literacy, arithmetic, thinking methods, etiquette, and values. In the second year, you will start to learn some practical content, such as statistics, surveying and mapping. As for labor, it didn't start until junior high school. ”

"Literacy and arithmetic are easy to understand, how to learn thinking methods?" Liu Man grabbed a point of interest and asked.

"Good question. I first teach them to observe and record. Observe the growth of plants and trees, and observe how many villagers there are in a village. What the Chinese lack most is an objective set of observations. Even today, the Chinese believe that fireflies are made from rotting grass. I vaguely remember that from the Book of Rites to any book of the Song Dynasty, it was all said so. If I can coach a child to observe the process of fireflies laying eggs, it is a great victory. ”

"Is it that simple to think? There must be complicated reasoning or something, right? Yao Ying asked on the side.

"First of all, we must learn to observe the facts and record the facts. Then it is necessary to learn logic, learn to think carefully, and learn not to draw conclusions without evidence to support them. With these, they love such complex reasoning, and they love how complex reasoning is, they are up to themselves. ”

"That's what you mean by the words fact and logic that you hang out." Liu Man remembered the four words hanging high in the hall.

"Yes. Facts and logic, which are tools for a person to understand science. With these tools for understanding science, and finally mastering science, one needs rational guidance. In the end, everything points to goodness. ”

"Let's not talk about your grand goals, what kind of curriculum do you use in this junior high school?" Yao Ying asked pragmatically.

"I also have to learn literacy in junior high school. Actually, everyone's starting point is the same. All children learn the same content in their first year. It's just that after a few months, children in junior high school can be allowed to learn practical subjects such as surveying, mapping and labor. Liu Yao picked up a piece of paper, on which were preliminary surveying and mapping and contour map principles, and on the other paper were soil fertility judgments, cement formulas, brick kiln structures and other information.

"These things are definitely not understandable to the children." Yao Ying was dizzy when she looked at this. Liu Man couldn't understand it.

"I don't get it either. So I'm going to take it out and figure it out with you. On the one hand, the children want to study these things, and I will also show them to Sun Zhenggang and Zhao Shilu and let them experiment. In the future, when the children who have learned this knowledge go to work, the foundation is completely different. I'm just a copycat vocational school. Liu Yao said a little helplessly.

"Then we don't have scientists and teachers." Liu Man said regretfully.

"Seriously, there are no scientists in this generation. It's good that they can roughly understand the technology of the pre-industrial revolution. As for teachers, they must be cultivated in this generation. We have to use the best kids as teachers, otherwise it's too inefficient to rely on just the three of us. ”

"Just the three of us." Liu Man looked at the registration forms of these dozens of students, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Just the three of us." Liu Yao pressed the shoulders of his wife and daughter and said heavily.

When Sun Qiaoqiao walked to the school, it was not yet dawn, and she was squatting under the big tree outside the door, full of expectation and a little faintly afraid. After a while, the executive's father came and opened the door, looked left and right, saw no one, and retreated. Sun Qiaoqiao shrank behind the tree, not daring to let people see it, and looked into the doorway with the dim lantern light, only to see the figure shaking and talking in a daze.

After dawn, the two children of the He family also came. The life of the He family has not been very good, and the four children born before were not kept, so now the two children are called He Lao Wu and He Lao Liu, both of whom are thin and small. The two brothers walked through the big tree holding hands, and they didn't see Sun Qiaoqiao, but they didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the gate. Boys are always bolder, and Sun Qiaoqiao squatted with his arms crossed, not knowing what to do.

More and more people walked into the yard, but there was no noise.

"Sun Qiaoqiao, don't squat, come in with me." A hand reached out. Sun Qiaoqiao looked up and saw that it was Wang Daixi. Holding his warm hand, his heart suddenly settled down, and Sun Qiaoqiao walked into the courtyard calmly.

The hall was full of people, and it was full. A wooden plank was propped up against the wall, painted black. Mei Xiang told everyone that the first lesson will be Mr. Liu, please wait quietly.

Mr. Liu was wandering around the hall, searching around: "What am I going to use to ring the class bell?" Liu Man was anxious on the side: "You walked in and went to class, why do you have to ring the bell?" Then he turned back to his mother and said, "You still say how amazing Dad's class is, and he is afraid of anything else, right?" ”

"You know what? There has to be a procedure for everything. Why do foreign judges have to wear robes? Lawyers want to wear wigs? Oh, I won't tell you this, I found it. Liu Yao found the cast copper incense burner offered by the Mei family in front of the ancestral tablet, picked it up and knocked it, felt that the sound was not bad, and poured the incense ashes on the roots of the tree in the courtyard with his backhand, bowed to the tablet and said: "The ancestor is angry, and he is in a hurry, and it is very important to teach the children." Please bless me. After speaking, he picked up the incense burner and walked briskly to the door of the hall. Leaving a courtyard, the top management of the school was dumbfounded and unable to react.

Liu Yao put down the incense burner at the door, tidied up his clothes, walked into the classroom slowly, stood in front of the blackboard, bowed to the children and said, "Hello students." ”

The children sat silently, and no one knew how to react. These children never received a bow. Several older children reacted first, stood up and returned the salute, and replied piecemeal, "Hello, sir." The other children seemed to stand up and salute in return. There was a loud noise of desks and chairs in the classroom.

Liu Yao nodded to the children who returned the salute, waited quietly for the classroom to be quiet, and slowly spoke: "Some people didn't know how to greet me just now, and the reason was not you, because some of you may have never accepted polite greetings. When people meet, they should greet and greet each other. From today onwards, the teacher will greet and talk to you politely. At this point, he paused, and then added, "Anyone who usually meets me in the village knows that I will greet everyone politely. At that time, you were treated politely because you met me. When you meet someone else, you still don't necessarily get to be polite. But from today onwards, you should remember that you are scholars and you should be treated politely. ”

Liu Yao paused again, let everyone digest for a while, and then said: "Some people may be thinking: others don't know that I'm already a scholar, and others don't know that I should be treated politely, what should I do?" Can anyone tell me? ”

"Sir, I heard that scholars can take the Xiucai exam, and they can wear long shirts. The officials who wear long robes do not kneel, nor do they have to pay food, and everyone respects it. A delicate child stood up and said.

"Please sit down. Yes, you can be respected if you are admitted to the show. But we also respect our parents and family, and respect the kind-hearted people, who did not get into the show. ”

Liu Yao continued: "We respect a person, not because of how respectable that person is. Everyone is the same and deserves respect. We respect someone because I want to respect someone else. I'm not one to bully people. As scholars, we know that we should respect people, so we let people know that I am a person who will respect others. It also lets people know that you are a person who deserves respect. ”

It's a bit of a twist, boss. Liu Man was also sitting in the classroom, listening a little cloudy, and couldn't help but say in his heart, very worried about whether these children from hundreds of years ago would understand.

"What is respect, sir?" Sun Qiaoqiao stood up and asked softly.

"Respect is not doing things that others don't want. If you don't want to be beaten or scolded at any time, or don't want to drink tea now, then you should never beat or scold him, and don't give him tea now, wait until he wants to drink it. ”

"I see, sir." Sun Qiaoqiao nodded and sat down.

With respect in mind, let's learn how to say "sir," "madam," "please," "thank you," "excuse me," "hello," and "goodbye," and we're done with our first lesson. I hope you remember to respect yourself and others. If you don't like something, don't let others do it to you; Don't do things that others don't like. ”

During recess, the three teachers at the school had a meeting. Both female teachers expressed concern: "The children won't understand these things you teach, right?" Besides, isn't school supposed to teach knowledge? ”

"This is what the school should be, a place where everyone can draw strength for the rest of his life, and it is the source of his faith. Of course, knowledge can be taught, but first we must build up the human spirit. Liu Yao said as he looked at the children running and frolicking in the yard.

Sun Qiaoqiao and Wang Daixi were also in the yard, cleaning up the incense ash at the roots of the trees in the corner. Wang Daixi cleaned up the incense ashes, looked back at the incense burner that had been placed on the incense table, and pursed his lips and smiled. Liu Yuanyuan looked at these two girls from afar, and his heart was warm. Suddenly, a boy rushed over, stepped on the incense ash, splashed the two girls in the face, and then ran away again, laughing.

"Sun Zhuang! Please respect me! Sun Qiaoqiao stood up and shouted loudly.

"That boy is her brother, the most skinny, always bullying his sister." Xiao Man introduced angrily, while asking Mei Xiang to maintain order. This was also discussed in advance, and Mei Xiang couldn't deal with it anymore, and then the teachers came forward.

Before Mei Xiang could come to her, Sun Zhuang stopped running, walked up to his sister, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Liu Yao's eyes suddenly became wet, and he didn't look at the expressions of the two female teachers, but just hugged their shoulders tightly. He senselessly remembered that when his son was only 20 months old, he had just been able to speak a few words, and for the first time he had learned to go down the stairs alone, and he raised his head and said to himself with his arms outstretched, "Protect me." ”
