Chapter 188: Defects
A child who can be self-taught will not be a person with poor talent. None of the people sent in 727 were red-level talents; The worst is also a faint orange light, close to the level of yellow light, and there are several people with bright yellow light.
There was even a child who could still see the light on the Talent Stone the night before. After waking up from a good night's sleep, he found that all three magic stones were dull. At the age of seven or eight, she even cried violently, and this situation also alarmed the great magicians who lived in the academy. However, Juan looked at the teary-eyed little girl and only felt ridiculous.
The Association standard distribution of magic item talent stones to official magicians can only be tested up to the yellow level of talent. At this level or above, this low-level talent stone item will not show any results. Therefore, the situation of the girl can only be that her talent is already high enough to be used in this low-level talent stone.
Although Trypwood Wizard had discussed with the relevant instructors in the academy to try to downplay the level of talent of the children and make them equal. But children with talents above the yellow level will be fragrant and sweet wherever they go. Even if it is himself, he will not be reluctant to raise such a child himself.
However, it has only been a long time, and it has only been two or three months since the establishment of the academy, and such a talented child has appeared. If the time stretches longer, will there be more amazing geniuses? However, this also shows from the side how many gifted children are missing from the world of magicians according to the old way of selecting talents.
After all, Juan Javier couldn't stop his curiosity, and he asked the girl named Charlotte to give the talent stone to the next child scheduled for testing. At the same time, he brought the high-level talent stone bracelet that he had and could be tested to cyan and brought it to the girl's hand.
It is clear that this is an item with the same function, but it belongs to him, the great magician, and it is more advanced and expensive, rather than the public property of the academy, so it must be treated with caution.
I will use this slightly stern tone to say, and I don't want this group of children to take the use of this bracelet as the norm. Otherwise, with the same effect, who would want to carry a talent stone and move all day. Moreover, watching a half-grown child carrying a large rock on his back all day was honestly full of emotion for Juan.
Then the next day, looking at the pure cyan light on the bracelet, Juan Javier was speechless for a while. And Charlotte hides behind her sister, Wendy, and timidly looks at the rather characterful and handsome Grand Magician.
"Well, don't worry, kid, you're very talented in magic. But you also have to study hard to achieve something on the path of magic. ”
This is a very official statement after the discussion of the three magicians. But Juan just shouted in his heart, this mother's talent is even better than Lao Tzu, it's not just good. Fortunately, learning magic is not just about talent, and the clarity of the mind and the inflexibility of the brain are the key to learning magic well or badly.
In the afternoon at the faculty meeting of the Academy, amid the aroma of coffee, and just after finishing today's discussion about the calculator project, Juan Javier brought up Charlotte, who has a very high talent. In this regard, Lin Ye could only say regretfully: "It's really pitiful." ”
"Pathetic? A gifted child? Juan Javier felt like he couldn't keep up with someone's thoughts.
"yes, can you not be pitiful." Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I obviously have such a good talent, but I fell into this place. ”
…… Well, this place? What do you think of the academy you run? It's just that...... That seems to be true. Juan said tentatively: "With such an excellent child, don't you plan to cultivate her well?" ”
"No, just have the same standards as everyone else."
"That's a rare kid! If you treat her like that, it's a waste of her talent. At least use the meditation room for a little longer. ”
Seeing the great magician's excited appearance, Lin knew that if he didn't make any explanation, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass this level. After that, even if this one stays, he will have a grudge.
As for the question of meditation room time, because of the large number of children, however, the resources available are limited. For the sake of control, children who use less than 20 minutes have nothing to say, and those who can exceed this time are all limited to having to finish a round of meditation within 20 minutes. There are at least three children who give every hour of freedom and meditation time.
But to give the green light to a gifted child?
Straightening his sitting posture, Lin said seriously: "Both, please listen to me." The way the academy teaches magic apprentices is completely different from what it used to be, and you can agree with that. ”
This is something that anyone with long eyes can see, and it is clear what kind of difference there is compared to the apprenticeship life he has experienced. So both nodded.
"Compared to the traditional way of education, it is actually them who spend a lot of time with those children now, not with us as formal magicians as teachers. That's right. ”
The two nodded again.
"So imagine if you were one of these children. Of course, the part that was trained to be like a dog will skip the difference first, and just talk about what would happen if he had a good talent and the teachers of the academy were very kind of to him? Will the other children be envious or jealous? Seeing that I have received fewer resources than you, my progress is slower than yours, and my learning effect is not as good as yours. What happens when this jealousy accumulates to a certain level? ”
"This ......" two magicians with no student experience, it is difficult to imagine such a thing, but Lin's doubts are also thought-provoking.
"Hate is the emotion that most easily mobilizes people's emotions. So I deliberately aligned their emotions to distinguish them from those apprentices who could be taught by the magician himself. Of course, I think the children's main hatred, or fear, is concentrated on me and old John. But even so, I don't want to create complete hatred, I just need to give the children a reason, a sense of common hatred, so that they can stand on the same side. But if there is one person today who can get most of the care, most of the resources, and there is indeed significant progress. This is like shifting the target of hatred from the outside to the inside, and the children who have become the object of resentment can survive a few of them. Especially the children who are less than ten years old. ”
"This ......," Juan Javier said in his final struggle, "at this time, it is to come forward with us teachers to protect the gifted children." That's how I got here. ”
"The people who spend the most time with the kids are the ones who spend the most time with each other. How can you protect yourself as a teacher? Take that child with you, inseparable? Of course, it was a blessing that His Excellency Javier was so cared for by President Carlos. But how many apprentices were there with you at the time with President Carlos, and how many apprentices are there in the academy today? Can a teacher give special treatment to people with extremely high talent at such a number of people, and at the same time not reduce the chances of others receiving magical education? In other words, we should give up on others and focus on raising 'one' child. ”
"This ......" Even the great magicians are dumbfounded by this. But from this aspect, we can also get a glimpse of the attitude of this great magician. If you are a complete believer in elite education, you may not hesitate to say that you should give up on other people, concentrate your resources, and do your best to cultivate one person.
However, Juan Javier was unable to put such words into words, which shows that he also wanted to bring magic education to everyone as much as possible, and then promote magic.
Lin guessed the mind of the great magician and said, "After all, that group of children lives in a group. If there is no good system, the elite can stand out and receive more and higher education. The best way to deal with that is to let them live the same life, achieve similar results, and receive the same care. Don't treat them differently, children are very sensitive, who is good to him and who is bad to him, they are clear at a glance. In the same way, who is better and who is worse will also become a reason for them to compare with each other. Don't let that be an excuse for them to turn against each other. ”
What Lin didn't go on to say was that school bullying was a problem that would be difficult to solve on the planet in the 21st century. For the establishment of the academy atmosphere, Lin could not casually ruin the efforts he had made before.
In addition, this group of children is not divided into classes according to age, and the older children and younger children are all in the same class. There are adults such as Lenny, and there are also Kish, Charlotte and others who are obviously underage and childish. If those older children rely on the muscles in their arms to bully the little ones, then who can keep an eye on them all the time?
So what Lin is more worried about is the atmosphere on campus than the education of magic. Fortunately, at this stage, the overall atmosphere seems to be good. Although it has not yet reached the level of mutual assistance and mutual love, at least as far as the current observation is concerned, no one has been excluded and bullied.
At this point in Lin's explanation, the two magicians were said to be dumbfounded. They have no experience of college life, and many things are impossible to judge. However, someone's arrangement and explanation are reasonable, and it does sound like the most suitable way to live in college. I had to agree to Lin's guidelines, and continue to pretend to be nonsense in the previous way.
In the evening, Juan Javier had just returned to the academy from the Merry Place. Today he drank more wine, and now he is sitting by the windowsill blowing the cool breeze. There was still a chill in the early spring night, which stimulated his alcohol-anesthetized head, and he was a little more sober.
I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
