Because a group of junior and intermediate teachers have been trained, Deng Shifeng has stopped teaching basic education and primary education courses, but has turned to teaching advanced courses and some intermediate courses, especially advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry and other advanced courses, a class may be so many people or even less......

However, today's course to be taken by Deng Shifeng is a natural course that belongs to the general class of middle and advanced education, and the natural course covers geography, biology, plants, human body, meteorology, and even elementary physical and chemical introduction, etc., which can be said to involve a very wide range of courses, so the large classroom that can accommodate more than 260 people is full, which is already the largest classroom in the education center, but it still cannot meet the increasing number of middle and senior education students.

Because of the lack or even lack of corresponding textbooks, Deng Shifeng could only organize the content while teaching according to the only part of the materials at hand, and then gradually compile new textbooks according to the students' responses, and finally print them into a complete book. But today, everyone still sits in the classroom with their notebooks as usual, listening and memorizing at the same time......

Like other students who did not enter the classroom, Zeng Ruo also stood by the door and listened to all kinds of new and interesting things coming out of the PA equipment......

It's just that unlike other students, most of the content Deng Shifeng told, because he did not go through the basic part of primary education as the bottom, Zeng Ruo could only understand a small part, but this small part already made Zeng Ruo feel that many of them belonged to subverting the surname...... For example, all kinds of microorganisms and bacteria that do not exist all the time around us, the gravity of the earth, why the thermos pot can be kept warm by double glass, how to use air to insulate and dissipate heat, etc...... Even in terms of geography, Deng Shifeng can clearly mark the general territory of China and the main islands in Southeast Asia on the blackboard...... Compared with those talents who export sour poems outside, he doesn't have the talent to write poems smoothly, but this kind of knowledge that is almost knowledgeable about astronomy and geography once again makes Zeng Ruoye feel that the poems he reads are as useless as garbage......

Due to the wide range of knowledge covered in the nature course, and the textbook has not yet been completely finalized, after explaining the previous preparation, Deng Shifeng spent more time answering various questions from the students. These questions include the incomprehension of the content of the new professor just now, and the extended thinking of the content in the previous textbooks, but in the end, Deng Shifeng took out a few letters of belief and gave them to everyone in the last period of time.

Deng Shifeng attaches great importance to these teaching problems in practical work, but he can't reply to them one by one, and at the same time, in order to avoid other students from encountering similar problems, he will focus these questions on this kind of big class, and teach other students these new contents while teaching and answering them. The students who are responsible for recording will also mail Deng Shifeng's new supplementary explanations back to the questioners.

The content of the last letter that Deng Shifeng answered today is not an inquiry about academic things, but the things it mentions have attracted everyone's attention.

The letter came from several teachers who taught in Gutian, and in the process of teaching in the local schools, the local people welcomed the new **oss to open a school to popularize free education, but the problem came from several old scholars in the local area, these old men were actually rare local talents, and there were some non-important literati left over from the previous work in Yongning Prefecture, calling them old scholars is just a respect for them from age. When these people first occupied the mountain village two years ago, they were panicked, for fear that these chaotic people would find them trouble, but Deng Shifeng did not find trouble with these people, and after carefully dormant for a period of time, they found that these flower skins were not as arrogant as they imagined, so they should do what they should do......

At first, some families were able to send their children to school, but with the introduction of free education in mountain villages, the content of the schools in mountain villages was both light, fun and simple, and there was no need for money and food, and there were two meals...... The emergence of this kind of compulsory universal education immediately robbed all the students of private schools, and who would go to a place where they had to pay tuition fees if there were free books to read!! For this kind of job-grabbing behavior, these people have the intention to curse but are powerless to reprimand......

However, when they found that the content of the school's teaching had not only eliminated the traditional sour characters of the Four Books and the Five Classics, but also used a large number of simplified characters in cursive script, it was already unbearable for these old scholars who had received their so-called orthodox education since childhood; What drove them even more crazy was that they found that there were many things in the nature curriculum taught in the school that they did not understand, but also belonged to the category of deviance, and these old pedants began to attack the school for the sake of so-called cultural orthodoxy......

Of course, with their helpless old body, it is impossible to use any violent means, and they dare to use the local civil guards to easily clean them up, so the means they take are nothing more than the means of going to the door to stop the students from entering the school, but can this method be useful? Not to mention that it is strictly forbidden to make noise near the school, just stopping students from reading means that students cannot enjoy two free meals a day, and the parents of those students are the first to be unhappy with these birdmen, if it is not for the hard work, some people have long wanted to smoke people!

Seeing that this trick was useless, several old scholars thought of another way, that is, to tell all the students' parents and others that the things taught in the school are deviant things, and belong to the myths and witches that confuse the public, but this method is not too useful, because basic literacy education and mathematics education are actually ordinary people want to learn, otherwise they can only look at the front of the street to recognize the store, buy something and don't know arithmetic and be pitted who wants?!

Seeing that the first two tricks failed to play an effect and effect, several old scholars finally learned, after careful consideration and research on the content of popular education in mountain villages, they played the banner of orthodox education, claiming that only through the orthodox education of private schools can learn the way of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, Qi family governance and security, and what is taught in the school of Huapi belongs to the art of KitKat, and their ultimate goal is to teach children to learn these things and then enter various workshops to work and do coolies! And only when you go to a private school to read orthodox books, can you call it reading, and can you really get ahead, just like the saying goes: everything is inferior, only reading is high!

I have to say that a few old pedants have finally hit the right point, and the biggest opinion of ordinary people about scholars is that they are knowledgeable, and the second is that they can gain fame and eventually get ahead in the official ranks, and if they learn things in mountain village schools, they can't get fame...... So what's the use of learning? As a result, many people do not plan to send their children to school after completing the basic courses, and during this time, the attendance rate of students in schools has obviously declined......

After listening to Deng Shifeng read the content of the letter, the whole classroom was a dead silence, although everyone has a great affection for the mountain village in their hearts, it can be said that it is basically a state of affection and cannot listen to the bad words and obstruction against the mountain village, but the old scholars played this time to learn what to use this hand is indeed a good hand, so that these students have the heart to refute but do not know where to start, can only hold back in their hearts and panic......

Zeng Ruo, who was outside, was also attracted by this question, because in a sense, she received a traditional education like an old pedant, and she should belong to defending the so-called orthodox education in her position; But in the past few days in the mountain village, what she saw, felt and realized made her begin to have undeserved doubts about these so-called orthodox education in her heart......

"You hear it all...... In fact, this question does not belong to the essence of our teaching, but it belongs to the fundamental question of education - what is the use of learning? ”

"The reason why this problem appears outside but not in the mountain village is because our mountain has been a cultural blank area from the beginning, and there are no old pedants here except us, just like a blank sheet of paper we can do whatever we want; However, with the gradual expansion of the territory under our rule in the future, it is bound to begin to enter the inherent territory of these traditional cultural teachings, and our new learning and the old traditional learning they maintain are bound to conflict and collide...... I'm not surprised by this, if it hadn't been for the collision, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago......"

"But these old talents and old scholars are still stupid, tossing back and forth for so long to find the key to the problem, if we open such a school in Liuzhou City, I believe that in less than a month, those relict officials in Liuzhou City, Jinshi literati and ink writers can play this good card of why to use learning......"

Deng Shifeng smiled, I don't know whether it was praise or ridicule, the relaxed words made the hearts of the students below relax slightly, and the students below all had a certain understanding of their teachers, and when they saw him with this relaxed smile, they knew that nothing could be difficult for him......
