Chapter 679: The Evil Beast Comes Out of the Cage (2) Dorok and Teaching
A distinguished guest had come to the town of Linco, so the representatives of the nobles and burghers of all sizes in the town, including Woolthorp, had pooled their money to hold a grand welcome ceremony, which in fact looked rather shabby in the face of the visitors of the capital, to welcome this distinguished guest.
The adults went to welcome the distinguished guests, and the children hid in the corners and looked at the visitors, knowing that Lin Kezhen is just a small town, and it is very unusual to have visitors here in the past, not to mention the visitors who came so many people at one time and planned to start construction in the local area.
The visitor's host was a gray-haired old man, who was thin but not mean, and always had a gentle smile on his face, even though the welcoming person in front of him was of low status and the welcoming ceremony was shabby and old-fashioned.
In this kind of celebration venue, Newton has never been seen, and his incompatible background and introverted personality make him always excluded by other children.
After this group of visitors came, they cut down the jungle in the east of Linke Town, opened up a wasteland, and built buildings here lively, and a large number of workers needed to eat, drink and have fun, so they attracted a group of hawkers to come, and slowly Linke Town became much more prosperous than before.
One day, when the white-haired old man was wandering along the stream in the forest and feeling the beauty of nature, he suddenly saw a child doing something beside the stream.
This aroused the interest of the old man, and he stopped when he was some distance from the little boy, crouched down and smiled gently, and asked, "What is your name, little friend? How old are you? Why are you doing here alone? Are you the only one who made this waterwheel?"
The little boy saw that it was a richly dressed old man, and knew that he belonged to the nobility, so he stood up and saluted, and continued to crouch down to mend the small waterwheel, which was obviously smashed, with the wet earth from the stream.
"Dear old gentleman, my name is Newton, 7 years old, and I'm here to fix this thing, and those stupid guys who only know how to use violence have smashed my waterwheel, so I won't be with them...... Anyway, when we were together, they were almost always bullying me...... I really made this watermill by myself. ”
"It's very skillful," said the old gentleman, who was even more intrigued by this, and walked into Newton with permission, and carefully observed Newton's smashed waterwheel, "Well, he is so ingenious at a young age, and he is a manufacturable material...... Kids, do you know what the town's workers have been doing lately?"
Newton threw a piece of mud into the stream in frustration, and after giving up repairing the waterwheel for the time being, he sat down on the stream floor and nodded in response to the old gentleman: "I know, my grandfather said that it seems that a very powerful man came here to build a new college, but in short, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Is it okay, are you a descendant of the Razor family?" the old gentleman's inquiry was met with Newton's nod, which made the old gentleman relieved, and then he touched Newton's head, "It's okay, maybe there will be a turnaround in a few days? ”
A few days later, a letter of advice was placed on the desk of the President of the United States of Sibe, mentioning that the "Sibnak War" had been over for more than 30 years, and that the soldiers who had participated in the war had become old one after another, so it was suggested that Siber could loosen the restrictions on the "defectors" of the cunning rabbit category to show Siber's leniency.
The request was quickly granted, and with Dima's approval, the old gentleman entered the dilapidated mansion of the Razor family and, to Woolthorpe's astonishment, offered to interview his grandson, Newton.
The results of the assessment went well, Newton was a very intelligent child, so the old gentleman lovingly touched Newton's head and announced that he had been specially recruited by himself, and he would be able to come to the school next year.
Soon after the old gentleman was gone, Newton curiously tugged at Woolthorpe's sleeve and asked where the old gentleman came from, for the clever Newton knew that the old gentleman was the strange old man he had seen in the forest the other day.
"Grandson, he is Smopi Doroc, don't you know the Smopi family? It doesn't matter, you just have to remember that in Siber, the Smopi family is one of the three nobles after the Parson royal family, and they are the ancient nobles who followed the 'madman' Huls. ”
When Woolthorp told Newton about the glorious past of the old gentleman, the old gentleman, as usual, had been writing his diary on his desk for decades before he was about to fall asleep at night, and the most noteworthy thing today was undoubtedly to pull that malleable talent into his new school.
After writing today's diary, Doroc stretched out for a long time, perhaps because he had entered the twilight of his life, and every time in the dead of night, the memories of the past would come to Doroke's mind.
Born in 2537 in the Smopy family, Dorrok was born at about the same time as Newton's grandfather Woolthorp, but the circumstances of the two were completely different.
As a member of the lineage, Doroc, coupled with diligence and willingness to learn, can be said to be the hope of the family, after he graduated with excellent grades, it happened to catch up with the end of the war, so Doroc enlisted, but the famous "Battle of Barcelona" at that time had long passed, and the military pressure at this time was very light.
So during the five years of Dorok serving in the army, he only had some wars with some Sienak rebels, and he did not encounter any major dangers, so he was retired, and with five years of military exploits, Dorok entered the political arena and was assigned to manage the public education department of Siber.
In 2575, Siber launched the "Siber Centennial Strategic Goals", in which public education was the key development goal, and as a result, at the age of 38, Dorok's political status also rose, and he became the first Minister of Education, and soon became a special enshriner of the Dima Academy, and at the age of 41, he was able to enter the parliament, becoming one of the youngest members of parliament.
One of the reasons why Dorok was able to enter the parliament so quickly was that public education was done in his hands, the most famous of which was undoubtedly the "Dorok Educational Reform" in 2582.
Based on the results of Doroc's immersion in education over the years, Dorok has reformed the academy system, which has not changed much since he learned from Surassi a thousand years ago.
Prior to Dorok, the education system of Sibor and the whole world was roughly as follows: from the age of 5 to 9, the children of the nobility received a private school education within the family, known as elementary school, and at the age of 10, they entered the official university and began 10 years of academic training, of which the first to fifth years were the lower grades, also known as middle school, and the sixth to 10th years were the upper grades, also known as universities.
When a noble child enters the university stage, in fact, he can already marry a wife and have children, most of the nobles know their wives in the college stage, the college for these students, will also build a college area to provide them with a living life, and after graduating from the 10th grade, the nobles will officially leave the school to enter politics or join the army.
Of course, this is the academic career of the aristocracy in the era of peace, if it comes to the era of war, for example, when Dima singled out a country with one city, the students at the university level will not be able to finish their studies, and they will basically be temporarily pulled to fill the army.
This is the study of the aristocracy, but what about the non-aristocracy? Those who have the conditions will use various methods, or raise money to set up a small school, or send their heirs to the aristocratic academy in the capacity of attendants, students, helpers, etc., and they usually can't complete their studies, and they will be replaced after about three years, after all, the tuition fee is too high.
The situation was not improved until the establishment of the "Hulse Grace Academy", which provided teachers through the church and regular colleges, and the "Hulse Grace Academy" built throughout the country provided a new outlet for civilian learning, where one-year, three- and six-year classes could be systematically accepted.
After the Poor Law was enacted, Siber forced all residents to have their children attend at least one year of study, otherwise they would be treated as commoners and taken to workhouses, regardless of their assets.
By the time of Dorok, more than 100 years had passed since these events, so in 2582, Dorok carried out the "Dorok Educational Restructuring" as Minister of Education, and adjusted the "Hulse Grace College".
According to the provisions of the "Dorok Educational Restructuring", the "Hulse Grace Academy" will be reorganized and split into the "Superior Hulse Grace College" and the "Lower Hulse Grace College".
In addition, according to Dorocke's rules, all non-nobles in the city and the lords of the estates in the countryside were to send their children around the age of six to the "Lower Hulse Grace College" for a period of three years of "initiation" study, except for families who had already been admitted by the Poor Law.
After the end of the enlightenment study, you can choose to send your children to the 3-year worker class or the 5-year citizen class according to your own financial situation, and you can get a graduation certificate after completing your studies.
Although it increased the financial burden on Siber, it was the first perfect answer to Siber's centennial plan, and Dorok later supervised the perfect transformation of the "Hulse Grace Academy", which also made him famous.
In the setting of Doroke's education, his excellent ideas for education reform are reflected, and it is also a very rare case that Dima College has made an exception to accept Doroke, who is still an administrator, as an official enshrinement.
In 2585, when the head of Dima Academy stepped down, he elected Dorok as the new headmaster, and after much deliberation, Dorok agreed to the appointment, so he resigned as Minister of Education to run for the new head of Dima College, and finally had the honor of becoming the youngest head of the academy ever, and later even became the president of the Dima Council in 2587.
At this time, Dorok could be called a successful achievement, and Dorok, who was not satisfied with this, set his sights on the academy as the goal of reform, trying to change the old academy system that had existed for thousands of years, and as a result, there was a fierce conflict with the worship class of the academy, who believed that Dorok's reform was complete nonsense.
As a result, during his tenure at the Dima Academy, Dorok spent time in internal friction with the worshippers, and the angry Dorok devoted himself to writing, and published his book "On Pedagogy" in 2593, summarizing the gains and losses of pedagogy in the history of the Southern Xinjiang Continent, comparing the difference between civilian education and college education, and by the way, he scolded the worship of Dima Academy from head to toe in the book.
Doroke's original intention in writing this book was only to vent his anger and insult the group of "wastes who eat the past because they have achieved nothing", but it set off the so-called educational revolution in later generations and became the first great educator of modern times.
More importantly, Doroke's "On Pedagogy" moved the then President of the United Nation, who was deeply influenced by the "retro ideology" and believed that everything would progress, and that the new would always defeat the old, so he summoned Doroque as if he had been old at first sight to support his idea of pedagogical innovation.
It's just that after all, Dima Academy has a history of more than 100 years, involving too many nobles, so even the president of the United States himself did not dare to touch this brow, after the compromise between the two sides, Doroke resigned from his title of president of Dima Academy, and with the support of the President of the United States, he went to other places to establish a new "new college".
The place chosen by Dorok is the town of Linco in Ahiado, where he will build a new academy, and Dorok is already preparing to name the unfinished college "Dorok University".
