95. De-administrative
After Zhang Chao adjusted the division of labor in the four disciplines, the "chief doctor" who was originally the most powerful was adjusted to be in charge of logistics, and then Zhang Chao personally served as the "chief doctor", responsible for the personnel, finance, and recommendation of students in the imperial examinations. As for the "teacher" Jia Wanchun back then, Zhang Chao didn't give him any face at all, and directly kicked him to the post in charge of logistics. This made many people feel chilled, because Zhang Chao, a young man, was really ruthless enough, and he actually directly attacked the teacher back then. Originally, those doctors thought that they could use the so-called teacher-student relationship to bully Zhang Chao, a student back then, but now they don't give face at all, and they say that kicking people will kick people, which is obviously unkind.
Later, Jia Wanchun also took the initiative to stir up trouble, and then asked the students to come to IA to get rid of Zhang Chao. But Zhang Chao still broke two brushes, and actually used a "Teacher Said" to successfully persuade those students, so that their thinking has initially changed. The so-called hearing the Tao has a precedence, and there is a specialization in the art industry, these two sentences also make the unmath of the non-math on their lips, and they obviously recognize this sentence very much. As a teacher, instead of giving priority to age and academic achievements, because everyone only has the difference in the order of hearing the Tao, and the difference in research direction, if you don't understand something, you can ask professionals, instead of thinking about what you don't know and pretend to understand.
However, when Zhang Chao's position was initially stable, he also took the initiative to issue an order, and he wanted to carry out a reform of the four disciplines.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I have decided to do, and we will implement a de-administrative strategy in our four disciplines. What is administrative, that is, the use of the method of managing the government to manage the school, this is very wrong. And the few PhDs we're doing now, although you are called PhDs. But how many students have you really taught? There are 1,200 students in the four courses according to the plan, and you five doctors are busy managing the four courses, right? Zhang Chao asked.
Zhang Chao came to this four-discipline study and found that the doctors of the four-discipline science actually did not assume the responsibility of teaching students, their responsibilities were only responsible for management, and the teachers who really taught students were those under him. And these six PhDs. It is better to say that the six members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee in the later generations of universities belong to the administrators rather than the people who teach in person.
Of course, Zhang Chao knew that the central education system of the Tang Dynasty was deformed. Guozijian enrolls only 50 students at a time, but it has six doctors and six teaching assistants, plus some ordinary teachers, and the ratio of teachers to students is almost one to one. And the fifty students are also very well managed, they are all high-born people, and their upbringing is much better than many ordinary students. If it is really not well managed, then let their parents manage it. It's also very convenient. Therefore, the management task of Guozijian is relatively light, but the four doors are different. Not only do the students of the four schools come from all over the country, but there are 1,200 students, but according to the official establishment, only 12 people have official positions. That's where it gets interesting. Guozijian has only fifty students, but it has dozens of senior teachers. However, there are more than 1,000 students in the four disciplines, but the establishment is the same as that of Guozijian, which is obviously unscientific.
But Zhang Chao had no way to care more. Because this era was a feudal era, those nobles in the feudal era paid more attention to the education of the descendants of the nobles. Those who are poor readers will also be ignored intentionally or unintentionally. Simenxue, a school responsible for the poor school, has a serious shortage of teachers, especially senior teachers.
In such a situation of serious shortage of teachers, those doctors with official grades could not have the heart and spare time to be responsible for teaching, but were busy managing the affairs of the four disciplines. The doctors of the four disciplines have been in charge of management for a long time, which has made the four disciplines a bureaucracy, which is already very administrative.
"Have you ever thought about it? You PhDs are supposed to be very knowledgeable people, but you are in charge of the management of the four disciplines, rather than teaching them yourself. Isn't that a waste? The day-to-day management and the examination of students are all carried out by doctors. And this is entirely up to a few PhDs who are doing it. And everything is measured by power, and it is entirely based on the power of the doctor to get recommended teaching. The future of the teachers under him, the future of the students who teach and educate people, is no longer judged by their school grades, but by the few PhDs we are doing. And our doctors have absolute power, if the grades are good, if they don't meet the wishes of our doctors, they will not be able to get recommended to participate in the imperial examination. Do you think our rights are too big? ”
The few doctors who were doing it were almost dizzy, they really felt that Zhang Chao was in the water in his brain, and he actually thought that he had too much power? Since ancient times, countless people have also hoped that their power will be expanded, and they will be able to have endless power as much as possible. But Zhang Chao took the initiative to think that he had too much power, which was simply too surprising. And they don't know that Zhang Chao comes from the later generations, and his thinking is to put the "tiger" of power in a cage, which is the most stable. Therefore, Zhang Chao felt that his power was too great, and a school was not based on student grades and assessments, but could make its own decisions based on a few leaders of the school. If it doesn't meet the leader's idea, the school leader can casually disqualify someone from recommending him, and then cancel his grades.
And in these four disciplines, ordinary students and even teachers don't have much to say, everything depends on the opinions of a few doctors. And the doctor's right to speak comes from their official position, from the official authorization, so in fact, their power comes from the government. As a teaching institution, the school should actually be based on teaching, rather than relying on any administrative power to manage. Those administrative powers are also very unconventional, after all, the responsibility of the school is to teach, but now it is inseparable from the government.
In this four-discipline study, Zhang Chao found a place that is very similar to that of later universities, that is, the administrative power is too great. Too many people regard these four schools as a government institution, not as a school. Those teachers entered the four schools, in fact, they were all in order to seek a background, hoping to get a springboard to become officials, rather than teaching and educating people seriously. And those students also regard these four courses as a qualification, as an opportunity to obtain the so-called imperial examination recommendation. It's not really about learning.
In such a situation where teachers and students use each other, there are too few students who can study with peace of mind and students who can study with peace of mind. This situation originates from one of the characteristics of the four disciplines, that is, the lack of distinction between political science and science. On the one hand, the four schools were the governing bodies of the imperial government, but on the other hand, they were also all schools. The two are actually conflated, and there is no difference between them. Even if it's a national eunuch. Guozijian is not only a government agency responsible for the administration of the world's schools, but also a place responsible for teaching. In fact, there is a disadvantage of being both an athlete and a referee, and then this will inevitably cause them a big problem.
Administration and teaching are two different things, that is, businessmen and officials, they are the same two roles. However, a deformed management method has brought about a deformed school, where the students will not concentrate on learning, and the teachers are not teaching in their hearts, but they hope to obtain a springboard to become officials through teaching.
Opposite. Those teachers who teach seriously, they will not go into camps, they will not be officials, but they will be suppressed. Only those who can drill camps and become officials can ascend to the position. This is definitely not possible, let some people who are not proficient in education take charge of education, but those who are proficient in education cannot be reused, this must be the ills of this education system.
And the afterlife for education. proposed a method of de-administrative, and Zhang Chao was able to implement de-administrativeness in the four schools.
"I'm going to study within our four schools. In addition to the four academic doctorates and teaching assistants appointed by the imperial court, we can also pass our own teaching ability, through the evaluation of students, and the mutual evaluation of teachers, and then obtain the title of honorary doctor and honorary teaching assistant. Then, after obtaining this title, we can distribute the benefits ourselves through the financial resources of our four schools. They can enjoy all the benefits except Yongye Tian. It will be converted into copper coins to be distributed to them. And those honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistants can also get the right to vote when we are critical. They are only responsible for teaching on weekdays, and when it comes to important matters of our four disciplines, they can also participate in the discussion with teachers with honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistantships. Say what you think. In addition, teachers who have received honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistantships can also decide on their own some of the candidates who will be recommended for the district examination, without having to go through the discussion of our people. ”
Hearing this plan, that Jia Wanchun immediately jumped out.
"No, you're setting up an official position privately, what do you mean by that? We only have six PhDs and six teaching assistants in our four disciplines, what do you mean by setting up PhDs and teaching assistants? Could it be that you have set up an official position privately, what do you want to do here, I want to impeach you to the emperor! Jia Wanchun said angrily.
However, Zhang Chao retorted: "I didn't set up an official position privately, I just set up an honorary title, which is an encouragement to those teachers who teach students diligently." As for any official positions, I have not allocated them to the establishment of the imperial court, just an honor and corresponding income treatment. Could it be that we spend money internally to give bonuses to our own people, and we still have to get the approval of the imperial court? Isn't it reasonable for us to give bonuses to some people who are capable of teaching? The word honor is added in front of Rong, which means that this is just an honor, but only an emphasis on their teaching achievements, not to make them officials. They only enjoy the corresponding income treatment, and have no real power. As for what to say to let them join in the management, we are just asking for the opinions of our subordinates, isn't it okay for the boss to ask for the opinions of subordinates? ”
Zhang Chao took the initiative to dilute the matter of this honorary title, and according to Zhang Chao's plan, which is similar to the model of selecting professors in later generations, to select a suitable title for the teachers in the four schools. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a teacher's title, so Zhang Chao also hoped to choose to set up a so-called honorary doctor and honorary teaching assistant in the name of another title. It is appropriate to give those teachers who are good at teaching the right level to be given titles, as well as to have their salaries increased and their living conditions improved.
Otherwise, it is like the management model of the past four disciplines, which is simply a cheat. People who teach well and people who teach badly eat the same big pot of rice, and everyone also gets the same amount of income, so who wants to! Don't say anything about teaching students without regrets, judging from the experience of Zhang Chao's later generations, countless teachers have broken their heads in order to improve their titles. Isn't it just for that extra salary income of a few hundred yuan a month? So those who really teach students without regrets are too few to be considered universal.
However, this four-discipline study is so cheating that it is carried out completely in accordance with the government's management methods. Teachers who do more and teach well earn as much as those who mess around, which must be very discouraged by everyone's ambition. Therefore, it is necessary to change the standards of treatment in the past, especially since education is an out-and-out technical job. Technical work and management work are completely different. But they are all just as important. Especially for a teacher, it is a very important technical job, and it is very important to improve the ability to educate. However, in ancient times, management was attached importance and education was despised by the level of education, which was a malaise of the ancient government and government schools.
Judging from historical experience, it is certainly not good to let the government run the school, especially in ancient times, which expanded the problem. After the Tang Dynasty, a large number of private schools arose, and government education gradually declined. That's telling. The government attaches great importance to management positions and despises the cultivation of teachers' teaching ability, and does not give better treatment to those outstanding teachers, so how can it retain talents? If we don't give them the opportunity to develop their future in life, it will naturally not inspire them to work hard. This is also what Zhang Chao must change.
"Well, if you have any opinions, you can keep them for yourself. If any of you are going to impeach me, or what is going to be done. Then you can go by yourselves. However, now I have the emperor's decree. The emperor asked me to take care of the four schools, so I also have the emperor's authorization. So, at least until the emperor removes my power, I have absolute right to rule on these four disciplines, so think about it yourself! Zhang Chao said.
Under Zhang Chao's tough implementation, this de-administrative plan has also been released below. And the most important part of this de-administration is to select honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistants. Through student evaluation, mutual evaluation of teachers, and PK between teachers to produce a certain number of honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistants, and then these honorary doctors and honorary teaching assistants can also get the same income as doctors and teaching assistants, except that there is no Yongyetian. Everything else can be given to that teacher by converting it into copper coins. Although there is no corresponding power, the income treatment has been greatly improved. And when there is a major event after the four studies, these honorary doctors and honorary teaching assistants can also have the right to express their opinions, so that they have higher power.
"Lao Yang, it seems that this time the imperial court asked Zhang Chao to serve as the doctor of the four disciplines, it seems that he has come to the right place! Your old Yang has worked hard to teach for so many years, but you can't go to camp, and you still work as an ordinary teacher here. I think, with Lao Yang's relationship with you and your teaching ability, whether it is the mutual evaluation of teachers or the evaluation of students this time, it is a certainty to become an honorary doctorate! This time, the emperor asked Zhang Chao to serve as the doctor of the four disciplines, it seems that he is coming to the right place, and he is specifically for the benefit of our four studies. From now on, the four disciplines are not only the world of those doctors. Those doctors, who don't have much ability to teach on weekdays, just rely on the drill camp to go up, and those of us who are good at teaching but not good at drill camp, but we can only live this hard life below. Now our student Zhang Chao is here, and it's really good! Someone said.
And that "Teacher Yang" was also relieved that his students back then were able to come back to benefit these teachers, and they were given high treatment. Although there is also a mutual evaluation of teachers, student evaluation, and then it is necessary to pass the teacher PK before you can obtain the status of honorary doctorate and honorary teaching assistant. And the number of honorary teaching assistants and honorary doctorates is not much, but only a small part. But this at least represents a hope, and what people need most is not wealth, but hope. Only when people can see the hope of development and the hope of being able to make progress can we stabilize people's hearts. If the people of the whole society do not see the hope of progress, and they do not see the hope of changing their own destiny, then they will also choose to change their destiny through violent means, such as uprisings and rebellions.
In the current country, the scholars have monopolized the officialdom through the bloodline monopoly, so that countless poor families have no hope. The imperial examination system actually opened a gap for the poor, although it is not big, but it represents hope. The history of later generations proves that countless children of poor families also entered the officialdom through the imperial examination, changed their class, and became the people of the ruling class. And the imperial examination system is a sharp weapon to stabilize people's hearts, if there is no imperial examination system, the world will inevitably be more chaotic, I am afraid that it will not take a few decades to break out a chaotic era. The essence of the imperial examination system is to let those people see the hope of changing their own class, instead of letting them change their class through radical means. This is tantamount to the ruling class co-opting the elite of the common people. But now the scholars are doing this kind of stupid thing, they don't want the poor to be able to enter the ruling class, so they choose to block this road and rule through blood. So this kind of behavior is turning back the clock on history, and they are doomed to fail.
And from this small four-door study, they are also a small society, a microcosm of society. Too many serious teachers have not been able to get promoted, and they can't get better treatment, but those who go to the camp get better treatment. And most people don't see any hope for development, and that's what makes them hopeless. Zhang Chao proposed this honorary doctorate and honorary teaching assistant, in fact, it is to open up an opportunity for those who are honest and willing to teach seriously, and have good teaching quality, to get a better income and treatment. Although it is not necessarily the power of the people, they can get better treatment and higher income, which is enough to make them tempted. This is a great help in soothing the grievances of those teachers of the four schools.
However, not only the "Teacher Yang" thinks so, but many other teachers of the four disciplines also think that they should be able to obtain the titles of honorary doctorate and honorary teaching assistant, so everyone is also desperate to participate in the competition.
However, this time, it is definitely not only the teachers who have been affected, but also many students of the four disciplines.
"Hehe, this time the new Dr. Zhang actually implemented the selection of honorary doctorates and honorary teaching assistants? This is really good, and our students are also eligible to participate in the selection! I heard that Mr. Sun, who was in charge of teaching us, is also preparing to get an honorary doctorate, and he hopes that we students can support him! One of the students whispered.
Another student immediately said, "No wonder he became kind to us just now, so the root is here?" Why did he go earlier, he beat us on weekdays, and scolded us when he was scolded, so that we would not be wronged. Now that there is a benefit from the top, then he is also tempted? Hope we support him, fart! What did he do to us at that time, and still hope that we will support him? ”
"Shen Yan, here are four schools, it is disrespectful to evaluate the teacher like this! No matter what, he is also our teacher, save him some face, and when the time comes, we will not choose him. The other said.
This de-administrative action has affected not only the teachers of the four schools, but also the students. The students found themselves qualified to decide the fate of their teachers, which made them feel respected by the school. In ancient times, there was no idea of student democracy, and in ancient times, teachers had absolute power, and beating and scolding students was commonplace, and students could only accept it. And everything the teacher is doing is right, and the student must accept it unconditionally. However, many students have anger in their hearts, but they can't alleviate it. This kind of deformed educational thinking has seriously affected the development of education, so Zhang Chao's stipulation of student evaluation has enriched the opportunity for students to determine the fate of teachers to a certain extent. With this power, it is impossible for teachers to treat students too harshly in the future, and they cannot be rude or even scolded to students. This can be said to be an improvement, and letting students decide the fate of teachers is the best means. Otherwise, if the teacher has always had absolute power over the students, it will not be good for the teacher. If their own future is in the hands of the students, then the teachers will be forced to teach seriously, instead of managing the students in the feudal parental methods of the past.
