Chapter 171 - Educational Reform (Part 1)
Although I have already seen that scene in the dynamic newspaper of the Daily Prophet. But when it really appeared in front of my eyes, it was still shocking.
A circle with golden sparks appeared in front of everyone. It's as if there is an invisible chainsaw, sawing a big hole in the entire space. Lin Xuan crossed the distance of hundreds of kilometers in one step and directly entered Hogwoods. This scene made Dumbledore feel terrified. He saw more than anyone else. For example, Lin Xuan's spell did not use the coordinates of the established Floo Network. Instead, use a different and unknown way of targeting. The process of operation is also completely tearing the space. It's not a tricky way of phantom shifting.
Face the welcome ceremony in front of you. Lin Xuan couldn't help grinning. Somehow, he thought of what was circulating on the Internet for a while. A school forcibly asked elementary school students to line up and brave the rain to welcome the news of the leader. I can't imagine that a stereotypical Dumbledore would engage in this kind of formalism. And he is obviously the leader who is not very popular.
But since the other party did it, of course Lin Xuan had to cooperate. With a wave of his right hand, a wave of magic mixed with life force and medical magic spreads out.
All the Hogwoods students around, as well as the reporters around them, felt that invisible force seep into their bodies. Suddenly I felt warm. All kinds of hidden discomforts on the body, as well as some old diseases, turned out to be quickly improved at this moment. The fatigue of continuous work and the mental pressure caused by all kinds of unhappiness have been completely relaxed at this moment. Many even made noises comfortably.
Lin Xuan's hand quickly conquered all the reporters and students present. This seemingly nowhere to be seen, but in fact it is a tangible benefit, won the favor of these children at once.
"The minister looks so handsome, much better than that old fellow Fudge." This is the voice of a certain young girl with a young spring.
"Hogwoods welcomes the Minister." Dumbledore interrupted everyone's enjoyment at an inopportune time. The old man saw that Lin Xuan had stolen the limelight. suddenly spoke, brushing a wave of presence.
"Hogwoods is the foundation of the entire British wizarding community. As the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, I will certainly give more support in my future work. Lin Xuan did not hesitate to respond to Dumbledore's politeness with an official statement.
The two took pictures with their right hands under dozens of flashlights. The whole style of painting is very much like some kind of press conference. And Lin Xuan's next remarks confirmed this fact.
"Hogwoods has been established for hundreds of years. During this time, it gave birth to countless great magicians. For the Ministry of Magic, for the entire British wizarding community to send fresh blood. But times are constantly advancing. We are at the crossroads of a new era. Many things have changed dramatically, or are about to change. So it's time for Hogwoods to change as well. ”
Lin Xuan's words made Dumbledore's heart cold. Sure enough, I still have to do it to Hogwoods. At this time, the reporters in the audience were already going crazy. One of the first actions of the new Minister of Magic was education reform. And such a high-profile announcement is obviously an unprecedented change.
"What are the changes?"
"Will it have an impact on Dumbledore's headmastership?"
"Will there be a cut in education spending?"
"Will the school consider expanding?"
“......”
Suddenly, countless questions swirled. However, Lin Xuan ignored any single question. I just continued to talk about it according to my own ideas.
"Magic is an extremely complex and huge subject. It's hard to have anyone who is able to master all the aspects. So I think the curriculum of students in the school should be changed all over again. A six-year magical learning career, with the first three years of basic education. During this period, the student's strengths and hobbies will be determined. The last three years are special education. Divide the existing subjects into different factions such as spells, potions, alchemy, astrology, divination, and so on. Each student can choose their own subject of expertise. At the same time, it is not forbidden to audit other courses, and the detailed plan will be issued by the Ministry of Education later. ”
The teaching of the divisions is derived from the educational philosophy of the Muggle world. In fact, someone has proposed it a long time ago. But it has not been given enough attention. Because the wizarding world has always had a sense of superiority over the Muggle world. This inexplicable sense of superiority led them to reject all ideas that the Muggle world had first appeared. It's as if that would weaken their identity.
As a non-new educational reform, the decision did not cause much discussion. Because most people actually have a certain amount of psychological preparation in their hearts. However, Lin Xuan's next words really detonated the scene.
"As a magician, we should have a basic skill. Look at the panic caused by the Dark Lord more than a decade ago. The entire wizarding world, tens of thousands of mages, were so frightened by a black mage that they trembled. You are magicians, and you are supposed to protect this world. But you are afraid, and you are withdrawn. Because you have lost the most basic skill of a magician, 'fighting'.
The quest for the true meaning of magic will never be easy. Every second we could face a battle. So the next most critical magic reform is combat. All new students must undergo the Defence Against the Dark Arts class and be assessed from the first year. From the fourth year onwards, it is necessary to begin to undergo mandatory combat drills. This will be related to each student's graduation grade. If you can't get a qualified result in the actual combat exercise. Then the student will not be able to obtain a graduation certificate. This meant that after she graduated, she was not recommended by any schools. and proof of relevant academic results from the school.
Of course, there are other ways to obtain a diploma, if a student has made an innovative achievement in a certain field of study, or has made a further step on the achievements of his predecessors, etc. He created a new potion, he discovered a new astrological sign, he invented a certain practical alchemical object. Then even if you fail the actual combat assessment, you can still get a graduation certificate and a special recommendation from the school. ”
This change completely detonated the entire venue. Countless reporters raised their hands to speak. Even Dumbledore couldn't hold back any longer.
"I can't stand having a bunch of underage kids in combat training anyway. They are still just children, and they should be protected. ”
"Do you think Voldemort doesn't kill children?" Lin Xuan only used one sentence to leave Dumbledore speechless. The second Dark Lord, his most proud disciple. There is no doubt that he is a mad dog that can even be used by babies.
"They can't beat the Dark Lord." Dumbledore's physical rebuttal. But as soon as the words came out, he felt that he had said the wrong thing.
"I'm not trying to let them defeat your proud disciple. I'm just telling them that as a magician, you should have the courage to face a threat. They are children, but they will always grow up and will always have battles. At that point, there will be no time for them to learn. ”
Dumbledore was speechless, and countless media outlets recorded Dumbledore being speechless.
