Act 242. Three views shaper
Reiner's first lesson was a bit surprising to these children who came into contact with the magic school for the first time, in the past, no one had ever told them this at home, in fact, in most families, daughters are not only children, they have more or less older brothers or younger brothers, and the attention of parents is on these boys, and for girls, the requirements are mostly very low.
Parents only want their daughters to grow up as they please, and eventually marry into a good family, and even some aristocratic families will have political marriages, and many of them think that independent thinking is superfluous for these girls.
This also indirectly causes that women only account for a minority of mages, unless they are girls born in a magical family and quite talented, female mage apprentices who are difficult to get resources to continue their studies will soon give up magic and reluctantly marry others.
Reiner had no intention of changing the rules of the world, he just wanted to help the girls in his school as much as possible, like Fina and Elimia, at least, if they had their own will, they could move on.
Sitting at the back of the classroom, Fina was a little moved, for a long time, she had only studied magic in order to escape from that nightmarish homeland, but now, she had a new goal, which was subtly influenced by Reiner.
Fina glanced at Elimia beside her, the principal's secretary was still silent, but perhaps she was also thinking about Reiner's words.
The first class ended quickly, and the students had to rush to another classroom for the real magic lesson, and within a few minutes the only thing left in the classroom was Reiner and the two assistant teachers, Arimia and Fina.
"How about it, do you have any more aspirations for the profession of a teacher?"
Reiner asked jokingly, but Arymia didn't say anything.
"I always thought that teachers were just teaching knowledge, but I didn't expect to say this."
Fina said thoughtfully, she had studied at Crescent Academy for six years, but the teachers did not communicate with the students except to teach them about magic, whether it was the meaning of learning magic or the planning of their future lives.
This is also normal, Crescent Academy was originally a school of general magic, as long as the students were taught knowledge according to the rules and sent to take the magic exam, there was no need to talk too much with the students.
The inheritance of magic depends on one's own comprehension, and for a long time, even if it was one's own students, mages did not necessarily interfere with their life plans, which was the default of this world.
"I have always felt that there is a good saying, the so-called teacher is responsible for conveying students' thoughts, teaching students knowledge, and answering students' confusion, but in most schools nowadays, teachers are reduced to machines that can only teach, but will not guide students to think for themselves, in my opinion, this is not competent."
Reiner translated what he had heard on Earth, and continued.
"In the teenage years, when people are most likely to fall into confusion, I don't think it's right to guide people correctly."
Nobles or slightly better magic families have special etiquette teachers to carry out basic education, and when these children are just sensible, they are infused with certain values, which will affect their words and deeds in the future, but more students are actually like a piece of jade, without any carving, they have unlimited potential, but at the same time they are extremely prone to death, and sometimes, a sentence may destroy the worldview they have built up over the years.
Reiner has seen a lot of mages with distorted personalities, and it is not that they are born like this, but that they lack proper guidance, which shows the importance of ideological education.
"World view, outlook on life, values, I will look at these three concepts of things as three views, the world view is the basic view of the world, the outlook on life is the meaning of life, purpose, value of the view, and values are the value of things, value pursuit, if two people's three views conflict, then it will inevitably be accompanied by various contradictions."
Although he did not establish any doctrine, Reiner applied these basic philosophical ideas to his teaching practice.
"Worldview, outlook on life, ...... values"
Fina pondered these three words repeatedly, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was infinite mystery in them, which seemed to sum up a person's cognitive world, but it was easy to understand.
"Although I don't insist that everyone's three views are exactly the same, I think some benchmarks still need to be popularized, in fact, it is precisely because of adhering to these recognized benchmarks that the mage world can develop to its current scale, so I also hope that my students can establish a normal three views during their time in school."
Reiner's words made Elimia a little dazed.
From this point of view, the three views of the Elbiore family are very different from their own, and there is no doubt that the thoughts of the Elbiore family are also contrary to the benchmarks of the wizarding world.
"The process of learning magic is actually a process of understanding the world and gradually establishing a world view, and many phenomena in magic give us the basis for shaping values, such as the simplest, the law of conservation of mass, which represents equivalent exchange, and condensed into a criterion that can be accessed every day."
Reiner gave an example that gave Fina a little more understanding.
Indeed, the philosophical development of this world is actually not very advanced, not to mention those special philosophical treatises, even if they are ordinary, most of them only have simple plots, and will not involve too many human entanglements.
If Reiner had the leisure to not talk about philosophical masterpieces such as "The Ideal Country" and "Confessions", and copy an extremely inferior version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in the same way, it would surely set off a wave of thought frenzy in the crowd, but for Reiner, none of this was very important.
Crescent Moon Coke sells well in the mainland, and the income every month is enough to buy several more Crescent Academies, Reiner himself has a good reputation in the wizarding world, he is not short of money, nor is he short of fame, so there is no need to do those things.
Reiner now just wants to explore more of the world and unravel more mysteries.
As the same mage of the ancient Magic Empire said, when the truth is ahead, everything in the world is like a passing cloud and no longer matters.
Leaving the classroom, Reiner returned to his office, where there were already a few more letters, from different places.
And the first one, Reiner picked it up, and found that it was a letter from Antoine, who had gone to the Tower of Rainbows to study.
