Before she knew it, Zhang Xiaomei had been in the school run by Shorthair for almost a month. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info she has worshipped many new teachers during this month; I learned a lot of new things; Made a lot of new friends, of course...... It has also caused a lot of new troubles.

The school where she attends was an expansion of the original short-term training class, and was established by a resolution of the Fifth General Assembly of the Qiong Navy. But to be honest, even Guo Yi, who is in charge of this work, does not have much experience in how to carry out further education, so he can only try it step by step.

And Zhang Xiaomei's girls' school branch is even more confused in this regard. At the beginning, the main purpose of opening the school in Qionghai Town was to cultivate reserve talents and inherit their modern professional knowledge. Although there is no gender requirement, most people naturally feel that the majority of people who come to school will be men, and not many parents will be willing to send girls to show up.

But the actual result was a bit unexpected - after the first batch of admissions, more than half of the new students were girls. The reason is that although many people think that the things taught by the short hair are very practical, when it comes to "going to school", they still rely on the traditional private school and the Four Books and Five Classics model, or in other words, they are unwilling to really take the step of deviance.

On the contrary, in the past few years, Qionghai Town's reputation for preferential treatment of women has been out, especially the increase in women in the new committee, which makes some parents who are more open-minded or love their daughters see another possibility - the boy in the family is the pillar of the future, and the learning cannot be done casually, but the daughter has no such requirements, it is better to send it to the shorthair here to gangster, maybe there will be a good way out in the future.

Driven by this idea, a large group of "petty-bourgeois" families, who had a little wealth and did not have to let their daughters work to support the family, but were not so wealthy that they could hire a Mr. Sissi for their daughters alone, sent their daughters to Shorthair's school—most of these parents had asked in advance, and Shorthair promised to open schools for boys and girls so that they could accept it. Otherwise, let their daughter get along with a group of men day and night, no matter how enlightened the parents of the Ming Dynasty are, they will never be willing - although the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is moving, no man is willing to be that Ma Wencai...... If a girl's reputation is bad, she won't even be able to marry in the future.

Under such a shape, Lingao Girls' School was officially established, and the principal of the girls' school was of course Hu Wen, and Wang Jiaojiao, Su Duxue and a group of masters who were idle at home and had nothing to do volunteered to serve as teachers - although their cultural level was not up to the high level of those engineers, it was no problem to teach a group of Ming Dynasty girls basic cultural courses. The school itself doesn't have too high requirements for these girls, Guo Yi didn't even think about which direction to train them, and entrusted them all to Hu Wen.

Hu Wen originally planned to have the same education as the boys' school, but soon found that this would not work—the boys' school had adopted militarized management, and the first two months of the course would be based on military training. After the normalization of the course, great attention is also paid to the cultivation of students' physical qualities, and only half a day is devoted to cultural learning, and the other half day must be used for physical exercise, sports competitions, or outing for training.

The girls' school also wanted to engage in military training at first, but after standing in the queue for half a day, there were many girls who couldn't stand it - these young ladies were locked up at home since childhood, and their nutritional status and physical condition were very weak, and some of them were still entangled in their feet, and it was impossible to withstand even a little more strenuous sports.

On the other hand, there are also people within the crossing crowd who question Hu Wen's goal - who do you want to train these girls to be? The iron girl of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Fenglian? Not to mention whether such a goal can be achieved in the end, even if you can teach them all to be strong women, will those parents accept it? Would the girls themselves be willing?

- After all, this is the seventeenth century, and the world's requirements and goals for women are still to be gentle and docile, and to be able to take care of the family. If Qiong Haijun's girls' school education deviates from this basic principle, even if a small number of students can accept it, most of them will definitely not be able to learn - in fact, after only half a day of military training, there are already cries in the girls' dormitory, and there is an endless stream of voices clamoring to go home.

Under the unanimous opposition of everyone, Hu Wen herself hesitated, and she asked rhetorically, so how should we teach students? As a result, people responded to her in one sentence - look at what the famous girls' schools in history taught, what were the nobles and wealthy keen to send their daughters to those girls' schools so that they could learn?

The answer is obvious - the so-called girls' school is a place to train ladies. Most of these schools are known for their strict discipline and rigid female teachers, but what they require their students to study so hard is not the natural sciences, but the so-called manners of the upper class, aristocratic manners, and ladylike manners—skills necessary for future marriages to wealthy families and high society. Hu Wen was not very accepting of this at first, saying that we built a school to train Mrs. Kuo for the people of the Ming Dynasty? But Guo Yi, who is in charge of education as a whole, gave her an answer by citing his personal experience before the crossing:

Xiao Guo was working as an online game planner before crossing over, and also wrote novels part-time on a literary website. At the beginning, he was talented and his writing was not bad, and he only wrote "what he liked", but after it was posted on the Internet, few people cared about it, and he was very miserable.

Later, I finally learned to be smart, and I knew that the subject matter should be selected according to the reader's preferences, and the published works were really read, although it can't be said to be popular, but it can be regarded as a little famous - the key is that you have to follow the minds of the masses! Behind closed doors, behind closed doors, you can't eat.

Guo Yi thinks that Hu Wen's desire to teach those girls to be self-reliant and self-reliant is understandable, but in most societies, a woman's main responsibility is to teach her husband and children. Even in the 21st century, those European church girls' schools are still very marketable, and many wealthy families are willing to send their daughters to them, which shows that the goal of "cultivating ladies" has not been abandoned by the times.

At this time, the chairperson of the committee, Aunt Song, who has always rarely spoken, also spoke, she is an education expert herself, and she can be called an authority in this regard. And Aunt Song has always been supportive of Hu Wen's proposition, but this time, she even suggested that Hu Wen consider Guo Yi and others' proposals:

"Xiaohu, you are too obsessed with making women and men the same, but this is not necessary - the responsibilities of women in society are very different from those of men. Asking girls in schools to train in the same military as men, and to work hard in physical education and natural sciences is a fork in the road. ”

"In ancient China, the requirements for women were four words: moral character, appearance decoration, speech and manners, and the ability to handle household chores, which is actually almost exactly the same as the requirements of the West for 'ladies'. Isn't that true of us today? A girl: she has an independent, kind and gentle character; Master a certain amount of makeup skills, as well as aesthetics that are in line with the mainstream of society, be able to dress up appropriately, and can add luster to your husband and family in foreign interactions; Have a certain understanding of most common sense phenomena in life, and know how to give children enlightenment education; Able to properly manage family finances, daily household chores, and even help the family at work...... Isn't it a success for the school to raise such a girl? ”

"That's right, even if it is to train Mrs. Kuo for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the ladies we teach must be much better than those little foot ladies who only know three from four virtues, dot their lips and draw their eyebrows, and only have a little bit of female red knitting in terms of skills!"

Including Su Wuxiang and others also strongly agreed, so Hu Wen accepted their proposal. After careful discussions with Wang Jiaojiao, Su Weixue and other "teaching staff", they made great changes to the purpose of the girls' school:

Of course, foot binding is still absolutely forbidden, and the school will often arrange some hiking and small competitions, so that girls can get in touch with nature and improve their physical fitness in games and entertainment.

In the cultural curriculum, a very big adjustment has been made, and there are no longer too many requirements for natural subjects, but a lot of things such as etiquette, clothing, and cooking have been added...... and so on are closely related to family life. The instructors invited the retired court ladies from the Ming court, as well as a full-time ceremonial lady hired from the Europeans on Luzon to serve as the best - to do the best, the crossing women decided to let them cultivate "ladies" with the strengths of both Eastern and Western cultures.

Of course, Hu Wen did not relax the ideological and moral education of the girls, but she no longer vigorously promoted "Who said that women are inferior to men!" "Women can hold up half the sky" and something like that.

The effect of the change in the curriculum was immediate, and the motivation of the students increased a lot within the girls' school. Gone are the days when a large number of people called in sick at every turn – especially in physical education and math at that time. But nowadays, many girls see classes as a fun thing because they can learn very practical skills – such as makeup and costume matching taught by Wang Jiaojiao...... The classroom was always full when I took this class, and even those who had listened to the class next door had to come and listen to it again. Because Wang Jiaojiao is very casual in class, she often comes to her senses, showing a new makeup method or characteristic matching...... Students in several different classes often learn different things.
