Ling 001) Norton Branch Holy Angel settled in the suburbs, and the matriarchal origin was not simply detonated in the imperial capital

In the preface to this campus literary novel "Linglong @ Youth", the author Mo Shang Meteor describes this school like this.

I don't know what a young man will be like in a hundred years.

However, a hundred years ago, those children who were fifteen or sixteen years old like us were not very different in essence, except for the difference in clothing, speech, language, customs, environment and living conditions, and the amount of information they received.

The same does not know the height of the sky, the same enthusiasm for chasing the trend, the same high does not climb low, the same born in the blessing but strong sorrow; It is easy to be infected by sensationalism, the same seems to be unconvinced and unwilling, the same crazy idol worship, and the same courage to try new things without fear of consequences; Of course, I also don't want to listen to the lessons and experiences of my predecessors, and would rather cross the bridge as a walk and eat the rice into salty salt.

Some people get up from where they fall. Some, where they fall, lie down and sleep. They would rather fall down countless times in the attempt, but also find their own experience, even if they fall again and again, their noses and faces are swollen, and even their heads are bleeding, rather than listen to the clichés of their elders.

It is no wonder that the biggest lesson that we human beings have learned with our lives for thousands of years is that we never learn a lesson.

So, a hundred years later, here and there, there is another famous middle school, the Holy Angel, in which there is also an active group of young people, without exception, continuing to write that we and other human beings belong to that age group: joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, greed, hatred, and loneliness, and belong to the folding space when it is unfolded, the bright appearance of the dragon and tiger, and belong to that future era, the brilliance of youth, thousands of miles of slaughter.

This Holy Angel is a newly opened senior high school, a famous department (Norton Business School), and settled in the imperial capital thousands of miles away. An investment group had a unique vision and wanted to seize the current opportunity, discussed with its alma mater for a long time, and finally promoted the joint operation of the school in other places.

A few years ago, it was granted the open space of Gyeonggi by the mountains and rivers, which was just in line with his wishes, and he raised a huge amount of money to establish the campus to ensure that the campus has a beautiful ecological environment, complete hardware facilities, first-class teaching conditions, and outstanding teachers.

As a result, before the completion of the campus, the news spread and immediately attracted widespread social attention, especially the parents of the students. Where the economic conditions are permitted, and there are school-age children in the family, how much is ready to move, there is a tendency to rush at any cost.

Nowadays, the tide of studying abroad is flourishing, and Chinese people, rich and poor, are vying to enter the stream, hoping that their children will broaden their horizons, build a golden body, improve the pattern, win capital, or be able to return with glory and rewrite their family fortunes.

It seems that only the children who are shaped in this way can be in the tide of competition in the future world, proud of the rivers and lakes, undefeated, and proud of the world.

However, studying abroad at a young age, not to mention the cost, is a very considerable upfront investment. What's more, children who are not yet adults are forced to stay away from their parents, and they are more or less at ease, and it is unrealistic to give up their careers to follow them.

Now you don't have to travel far away and leave your hometown, you can get the resources of the famous schools in country Y nearby, and you can reduce or reduce all kinds of fees compared to it, so you don't have to worry about missing across the ocean, why not?

Born at this time, it is a blessed opportunity from heaven, and the admirers are naturally rejoicing, calling relatives and friends early, and running to tell each other. Parents are scrambling to plan and raise, and are looking forward to the early completion of the new school, the completion of enrollment, and the benefit of their own baby bear.

Holy Angel International School released the enrollment brochure three years in advance, and the parents who visited the school site were in an endless stream. Everyone saw the barren mountains becoming charming, the small bridges crossing the streams, the high-rise buildings rising from the ground, and the conditions for the start of school gradually becoming complete.

Due to its unique educational philosophy, it is based on education, has advanced teaching facilities, and shares resources with its local alma mater, and has the same root in the system. Therefore, the enrollment has attracted much attention at the beginning, those who hope that their sons will become dragons are rubbing shoulders, those who hope that women will become phoenixes are flocking to them, those who are rich in wealth are spending a lot of money, and those who are financially constrained are sinking boats.

Just because its alma mater, Norton School of Business, has long been famous in the world, and its educational achievements have been proven over the past 100 years, and the advantages of the teaching system have long been undoubted.

The infrastructure lasted for three years, every detail was accurately positioned, well-intentioned, and the architectural design and decoration must be kept improving, until every special representative of the alma mater and the major shareholders were satisfied with the perfect completion of the campus, the school breathed a sigh of relief, and now everything is ready, only look at the source of students.

Then the official announcement of the official enrollment, the general enrollment, the surrounding high-quality school-age teenagers, and regardless of regional race, all those with intelligence and ability, can participate in the written test, interview and computer test assessment, after the school layer by layer screening, the final selection of the best.

Since then, the Holy Angels have gathered a group of distinctive, outstanding, exquisite, and intelligent young people. Therefore, every day in this well-equipped campus, similar to other middle schools, the young people's own flower season fun stories are staged.

"Linglong @ Youth" is like climbing a tree to get fruit, excerpting more than a dozen interesting clips, in order to seek confidants among all living beings, meet bosom friends in the vast sea of people, and look back at the beginning with those who are destined in the world: when you are young and astringent, you are young and half knowing, absurd and unscrupulous, and pretend to be reserved; pretend to be handsome and cool, have no city, be quiet as a virgin, and move like a rabbit; or the mouth is not covered, so ambitious, ignorant of the world, self-pity; has no heart and lungs, is reckless and pure, true and kind, ignorant and fearless; Light and arrogant, simple and rude, conceited and rebellious, from time to time, do a job, die a few times, and find some troubles for no reason......

We have all walked through such beautiful and uneasy days, but we were soon diluted by the complexity and triviality of the adult world, diluted like water by the sophistication of the world, and looked down on by the self who seemed to have grown up.

When I was a young man, everyone was a smooth and smooth white paper, even if it was filled with mottled colors of willingness or reluctance, they were all innocent and clean, and I would feel how much I could empathize. If you can't sleep late at night, why not just make a pot of hot tea, pick up the book under the lamp and flip through it, and enjoy the fun and laughter with the children in the story, which is also a good personal pastime, and relive your memory.

Let's take a look at the background of this alma mater: Norton School of Business.

Norton Business School is an ancient and elegant aristocratic university in country Y, somewhat similar to our public-funded colleges.

It has accumulated hundreds of years of precipitation and profound cultural heritage. There are many masters and talents on campus, and the students are either rich or expensive, all of them are outstanding, and everyone has a good background. After graduation, most of them are also leaders and elites from all walks of life, and they envy others.

Therefore, it has always been a place for the children of a wealthy and powerful to show their status, compete for capital, and show their taste. Of course, the premise is that it has a set of self-contained high-quality school-running resources, a large number of senior experts in the industry as education consultants, and a series of well-known scholars and professors from all walks of life who are both moral and artistic to create its own unique high-end education brand.

Here, it is far from enough to talk about net worth and status, IQ and appearance are also important criteria for selection and admission to the school. Norton Business School admissions has always been very serious, and it is a well-known rule that the selection is harsh, the sand pans for gold, and the lack is not abundant.

It can be said that they have extreme self-confidence and willfulness when it comes to recruiting students, because there is never a shortage of sponsorship funds. Because, most of the graduates from here are not simple, and they have already penetrated into the top core positions in all walks of life around the world. Of course, although there are inevitably some mediocre people or scum in the business world, they still can't hide the light of their alma mater.

After graduating from Norton College, the students basically have their own relatively stable social circle, where they are willing to support each other or compete with each other. Just like Tetris, achievements are quickly attributed to history, and a mistake in a single thought can instantly lose all the wealth accumulated over the years.

The alumni association also regularly publishes announcements to summon former alumni to return to their alma mater to participate in the 5th and 10th anniversary gatherings, expand contacts, communication channels, and promote contacts. This is probably the main reason why the school has been able to maintain its reputation for a hundred years and maintain "unchanged standards and eternal pride".

So, what does such a very dragging and very good Norton School have to do with us now?

Yes! This is thanks to the ferocious, long-lasting, and intensifying trend of studying abroad across the ocean, and the cruelty of competition for further education.

Following the new generation of study abroad fever, Chinese people are vying to go abroad to gild overseas, regardless of strength and wealth, it seems that only studying abroad is the way out. So there are a group of children who have no hope of being admitted to 211 and 985 universities in China and are sent out by their parents, at least they should be returnees; There is also a group of people who have taken their family's lifelong dream of studying abroad to be sent out, to go abroad for their parents to see, to see the legendary rounder moon, of course, it is best to learn a few catties and taels in the future, and take their parents and relatives out to enjoy the happiness and realize their dreams together.

There are also some who are financially weak at home, parents grit their teeth and stomp their feet, sell houses and land, and even borrow money to send their children away, hoping that one day, the children will return to their hometowns in fine clothes, glorify their ancestors, and have a face on their faces, and they will not be in vain to eat bran and repay the debt; There are even some families who let their children go to study abroad in order to transfer certain assets, whether the children want to or not, because studying abroad is not the goal. Such children are the most likely to lose themselves, live a worry-free but empty and lonely life, live in a foreign country, lack of love and warmth, and culturally difficult to integrate into the local mainstream society.

However, how many families have made the final choice that truly respects the child's own wishes? Actually, it's really hard to say.

Don't say it first: the child is still young, what do you know now? The baby's life needs to be a parent to escort them: timely layout of life, control the future prospects, and grasp the general direction of moving forward.

This is an underestimation of children's IQ and ability, and if you let them choose, it may not be worse than your choice. The crux of the matter is that people don't easily regret and complain about the goals they have chosen with their own hands. Right and wrong are relative, and you are responsible for your own choices, even if you suffer a lot and suffer a lot, you can grit your teeth and hold on.

Children created by parents who are too strong and subjective, if they are not timid and cowardly, may go to the extreme of rebellion, and even greater tragedies may occur. It has not been reported that the parents of a pair of famous university professors were killed by their own children, and they both lay under the covers, and their bodies were found in the house for several days.

As a result, the perverted thing was still playing games at home as if nothing had happened, and the clothes in the wardrobe were washed and tidy by the parents before they died, and in the order of seven days a week, the inside and outside were well matched, and the separation was neatly stacked. Even, each stack is labeled with a date, and children can use it at hand.

It's chilling to think about! Poor old professor and his wife, what happened to our "love" education? Whose problem is it, exactly?

This kind of "help" in substitution stems from a consistent distrust of the intelligence of others and an overconfidence in one's own intelligence. What's more, it is the desire to control the rights of others. Treat children as private property, can be at their own mercy and jurisdiction, often also play the banner of "love", disobey the intention of parents is not filial piety, with the "good and filial piety first" Confucian thinking, standing on the high point of morality, to press the children.

Everyone was young, didn't you really understand anything at that time? Are you really willing to let your parents manipulate all your ideals? Adults who grow up will selectively forget, forgetting how many "bad things" they did secretly behind their families? Actually, there are a lot of things in there that haven't been discovered by my parents yet, haven't they?

Nitrogen, if you don't have such an experience, how can you be considered a living young man? Did you grow up to fall because of that little bit of evil?

The concept of education is a heavy and complex historical issue, related to traditional Confucianism and cultural accumulation. The consequences of such an education will be judged many years from now.

We only know that there is really a lot of blood-earned money that has flowed out to feed a lot of crooked nuts, and even what are the following: examination institutions, international schools, foreign language cram schools and training bases, which have created a special kind of education industry - the study abroad family.

Therefore, in order to cater to the times, Norton College has a preparatory international school in the suburbs of our imperial capital - Norton Holy Angels International School.

This brand-new international school, with private participation, abundant funds, and exquisite location, occupies a large area and has a relatively high-end positioning. Specially recruit some middle school students at home and abroad who have rich assets, special status, excellent academics, and solid family backgrounds, and are not limited to regions and nationalities, depending on the strength of your doll.

It maintains the basic principle of the alma mater that it is better to have less than abundant, and it is carefully selected, but because of its fame, it has quickly become a popular choice, and it has quickly attracted a large number of students, and has grown year by year.
