"Well, I agree with you, but I don't quite understand what you mean by "learning atmosphere." Roy gestured to the reception area, and Schiller led Jason to the couch next to him and sat down.

"I'm sorry, Professor, but I also came from a gang, so I didn't go to school, what do you mean by the learning atmosphere?" Roy picked up the teapot and poured tea for Schiller.

"It's okay." Schiller sat on the couch and said, "I can explain slowly, after all. When I wanted to reform the traffic in Gotham, no mayor wanted to sit on this couch and listen to me."

Roy felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and he smiled and said, "You speak slowly, I will listen carefully."

"School is a place of learning, note that this sentence is not a plea, not an emphasis, but just a description of the fact that school is a place of learning, and I should not spend extra energy to maintain this function, which should be recognized by everyone, right?"

Roy nodded, he admitted, even in Gotham, in fact, most people know that school is a place to study, if you don't want to study, why go to school?

"However, learning is not only about schools, it is not only about quiet schools, students can have a good learning environment, and it is not only teachers who are serious and responsible, and students can achieve good results."

Roy was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it? It's not just that the teacher teaches well and the students learn well. Will you be able to get a good score?"

Schiller shook his head, but he didn't feel angry, in Gotham, the vast majority of people think that if you really want to study, then go to school, study hard in school, and you can get good grades.

He patiently explained: "Many parents think that if they throw their children to school, the school can complete all the education, but in fact, this is not the case at all, and education is not at all in terms of content, including knowledge education and personality education, and in terms of methods, including school education, family education and social education."

"School is a place to teach them, and of course, in the process of getting along with their classmates, it will also improve their social skills, but it is family education and social education that can shape their personalities."

"Now, the situation of Gotham has arrived, and family education and social education not only do not assume the responsibility of educating personality, but also drag down the education of knowledge, can you understand what I mean?"

Although Luo Yiyi never went to school, he was not stupid, he thought about it and said: "Indeed, many parents in Gotham are not very good at educating their children, and some people are even not responsible at all.

"It's more important to educate society." Schiller tapped the surface of the coffee table with his hand and said, "The whole society of Gotham has no atmosphere of learning, that is to say, people here do not understand that learning is a shortcut to improve their class......

"Let's put it this way, if a Gotham man doesn't study, then he still has a lot of work to do, such as going to the gang as a thug, and he also has too many ways to cross classes, such as cheating, killing, and stealing goods......

"After the development of the logistics industry, this phenomenon has not only not been improved, but has also intensified, and the lack of labor has led to the vast majority of people can only cross the education stage and enter the intensive labor stage."

Roy sighed and said, "Of course I know that although the law and order situation in Chicago is also very poor, it is only a few areas like this, and in other normal communities, the vast majority of people will finish high school, and a large number of people will go to normal colleges."

"Of course, there are also people who choose not to go to higher education and enter society early, some to earn money, some just for fun, but they do have at least a high school education."

Roy thought for a moment and said, "When I first came to Gotham, I also took a special look at the admission rate here, and to my surprise, not only the education rate in the slums of the East Side is very low, but also the education rate in the North District, where gang bosses are gathered, is also terrifyingly low."

"Because the cost of education is high, but the benefits are often hidden." Schiller watched the tea leaves in the teacup sink slowly, and he said, "Because of Gotham's unique gangster ecology, the gang bosses except for the twelve families have been renewed

It's going to happen very quickly."

"New arrivals get rich overnight, and they are busy taking over their predecessors' businesses, consolidating their position, keeping themselves safe, and having little room to do to educate their offspring or get them schooled."

"The leaders of the 12 families, they have the resources and the money to spare, but they do not have enough understanding of the benefits of education, and they prefer that their descendants have more exposure to the family business, so that they can be ahead of their peers in terms of experience in running the family business, so that the family can develop more prosperously."

"When it comes to running a gang business, they feel that what is taught in school is useless, and their own experience is even more useful, so why send their children to school?"

"Most of the children of the leaders of the twelve families, even if they go to Gotham University, they don't study hard, they don't go to school, they only socialize in the name of reading, or they just put on a name and get a good academic degree."

"Moreover, the leaders of the twelve families generally don't want their children to go to other places to study, because once you leave the city and get out of this special ecological environment for too long, then after you come back, you may not be competitive, which will drag down the family."

"Therefore, except for some wealthy businessmen in the southern and western districts, as well as families who have gangster industries but are not mainly engaged in gangster business, will want their children to receive a high level of education, people in other regions, even if they have money and leisure, will not be inclined to let their children be educated."

Schiller paused, then went on to analyze: "There is another reason for this, and that is that the pressure of the gangster's rules is too great."

"If you were born into a gangster family, then from childhood to adulthood, you have to learn not grammar, arithmetic and other subjects, but how to live smoothly and well in the whole gangster rules."

"Learning grammar, arithmetic, and art may make your temperament and conversation better, but if you don't understand the rules of the gang and run into various places, then you are likely to lose your life."

"Therefore, the vast majority of second-generation gangsters like Evans will follow their parents and learn these rules behind them."

"There are so many implicit default rules to comprehend that they have little time to learn systematically, after all, in this ecological environment, it is more important to save their lives."

"In addition......" Schiller pointed out again, "the pressure brought about by the gangster society is not only the rules, but also the responsibility."

"There are many members in a gang, if you want to lead them, you must have enough authority, and if you want to have enough authority, you must express an attitude of responsibility for them, take practical actions, and lead them to compete for resources and win the competition."

"Even if it's Falcone, he has to be responsible for the people of the Falcone family, and the reason why Evans is so stressed is because, there are very few people in the Falcone family, but he also has to be responsible for all twelve families, so how can he have time to learn the knowledge in the textbook?"

Luo Yi nodded, he felt that Schiller's analysis was very reasonable, the society in the gangster rules was so deformed, they were formed by competition and conflict, and everyone had to be busy fighting with others.

The gang bosses of the previous generation, after sitting firmly in their positions and occupying resources, will ask their children to follow them into this society earlier, so as to seize the opportunity and stand out in the competition of the next generation.

This means that he does not have much time to be systematically educated, and when he becomes the heir and takes over the gang, he will ask his offspring to do so, so that the offspring's level of education will become lower and lower, the level of competition will be lower and lower, and finally it will become a rookie pecking at each other.

In a normal society, a person's speech, knowledge, wisdom and logical thinking are more important than some default rules, if you do well enough, put forward a good enough plan, so that everyone can see the low-hanging fruit, then, you don't have to care about whether you are allowed to drink water or smoke at the shareholders' meeting.

But in the gangster society of Gotham, some of the default rules are more personal than personal

's excellent traits are more important.

Alberto was a genius, just like his father, but if he wanted to take the lead in breaking the rules, for example, smoking cigarettes instead of cigars at a gathering of the heads of the twelve families, and adding ice to the wine he drank, then all the gang bosses would not believe him and think that he was a young man who didn't know anything, and no one would follow him.

At the beginning, the rules set by the godfather were equivalent to putting chains on all the gang leaders, so that they would not be completely lost in the chaos.

This kind of slightly pretentious rules and too many hidden rules to be counted are actually the lights of the beacon of order, so that they understand that they are still people in a civilized society, and not a wild beast that has lost their minds.

But today, this brings another problem, there are too many rules, these rules, just participating in this society, it will take most of the time, and not receiving systematic education will only make the struggle more and more degraded, and finally become only rules, without vitality and future.

"This kind of system is useful in a certain era, but it is destined to be eliminated by modern society, because the speed of development of science and technology is always increasing, and the level of education required in a technological society is also increasing."

Schiller began: "When the logistics industry began to develop, they felt that another golden age had arrived, but they did not see the crisis behind this boom."

"This year is 1990, and it may not be long before the old order will ebb and a new wave will come, and society will move forward at an unimaginable speed until it becomes what no one knows."

Schiller looked at Roy and said, "I don't want this city, when it has been abandoned by normal society, to be abandoned by the times."
