Chapter 23: The Parable of the Garden

If First University is really a living being, then it must have symptoms of schizophrenia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Zheng Qing had no doubt about this.

From the interviewer of the first university, to what he saw and heard in Four Seasons, and now he has really set foot in this university, Zheng Qing has seen too many contradictions and differences.

For example, there are four ways to admit students to a university!

As one of the nine people who passed the exam to enter the university, Zheng Qing was completely unable to understand the other admission methods. There may be some rationality in talent selection, belief evaluation, or combat effectiveness evaluation, but in Zheng Qing's view, these methods of admitting new students lack the least fairness.

The most direct consequence of these inequities is the difference in campus culture.

The differences are so significant that students from different faculties communicate with each other as if they were strangers.

If it weren't for schizophrenia, how could First University allow different ideas to flow through its body at the same time?

However, Zheng Qing is more worried about his own studies than about the fairness of school education.

Without any foundation in secondary education, they face the test of higher education.

The shock is troubling.

Whether it is the exams that the interviewer repeatedly emphasized, or the repeaters he inadvertently mentioned, they all left a heavy shadow in the hearts of the panicked freshmen.

What should I do if I don't do well in the exam?

What should I do if I don't pass the promotion exam?

Isn't it a shame to repeat a grade!

Will you be pointed at by others!

Even the exams of the past few days did not alleviate his worries, but only increased his anxiety.

Because the gentleman always warned him that the higher he floated, the harder he fell, and that people are self-aware.

Now, several classmates have told him that not only does Alpha Academy not require exams, but there is no risk of repeating grades!

Compared to the strict Nine You, this kind of excellent learning environment is intoxicating.

"There is no pay for the same school. Zheng Qing muttered and looked at Lin Guo enviously: "When will Jiuyou be able to cancel the exam policy?" ”

"Without exams, there would be no Nine Haves Academy. Xiao Xiao commented sharply: "In addition, the rules of Alpha Academy are not as easy as you think. ”

"I know that. Zhang Jixin waved his fist next to him and added: "My brother told me that the annual graduation rate of Alpha College is less than 60 percent! Comparatively speaking, the graduation rate of Jiuyou Academy is as high as more than 90 percent!"

"That's true. Lin Guo looked at Zheng Qing sincerely and wiped his nose: "Every academy must uphold the honor of the First University, and Alpha Academy is a typical wide entry and strict exit. ”

"Either way, your learning environment is very free. Zheng Qing sighed.

Xiao Xiao let out a short, shrill laugh.

Zheng Qing glared angrily.

"No one tells you what class you should take, no one tells you if you made the wrong choice. Xiao Xiao said sarcastically: "yes, there/was/always/a/choice." yes,you/always/have/a/choice。 Giving up the right to choose to the individual is called 'freedom'. As everyone knows, this is the biggest irresponsibility to the individual. Not everyone has access to valid information and the ability to make the right choices for themselves. ”

This sentence is a bit winding. Zhang Jixin looked a little confused.

"Let's use an analogy. The same two boys. One boy's parents are registered wizards, and the other's parents are white. Registered wizard parents can make a complete promotion plan for a boy at a very young age, and Bai Ding's parents don't know anything about this. ”

Xiao Xiao hugged the notebook and continued to refine this example:

"When two boys enter the Alpha Academy together, the boys whose parents are registered wizards can choose the courses necessary for their majors with a clear purpose, while the boys whose parents are white will have a hammer and a stick, and it seems that they have learned many courses, but these courses are not helpful in advancing to the rank of registered wizard. ”

"Can we deny that both boys always have the right to choose?" Xiao Xiao waved his notebook and said mockingly, "It's just that one chooses the right path with his eyes open and looks at the marker, and the other closes his eyes and feels like a blind cat touches a dead mouse." ”

"In this way, Alpha's approach to education is indeed unfair. Zheng Qing pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"This is the consistent idea of the Nine You Academy, but justice is to let everyone have their place. Lin Guo stubbornly defended the honor of his academy: "A boy whose parents are registered wizards can certainly become a registered wizard, but a boy whose parents are white will eventually find his true talent." I remember a professor who had a very apt analogy for this view of the two colleges. ”

"The metaphor of the garden?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at the little boy.

"Yes. The garden has a wide variety of plants that grow luxuriantly. The owner of the garden can choose to keep pruning the crooked branches and stripping off the rotten branches and leaves to keep the whole garden tidy and beautiful. The owner can also choose to let the plants and trees grow freely, showing the wonderful harmony of nature. ”

Lin Guo's face flushed, and he defended excitedly:

"It doesn't matter if the poplar wants to grow up? It doesn't matter, try to grow upward! The creeper wants to find a place to rely on? It doesn't matter, the walls, tree trunks, and sculptures can all be relied on for him! The rose can spit out buds of different sizes at will, and the holly can stretch itself at will. Isn't it fair for plants that each plant is able to adapt to its own gifts in the garden?"

The blue tinch patted Lin Guo's head lightly, signaling him to calm down.

Xiao Xiao's lips moved, and he didn't continue to refute.

"Sounds like a match. Zheng Qing touched his nose and muttered.

"Therefore, Nine Colleges and Alpha College still coexist in the first university. Zhang Jixin crossed his arms and concluded: "But no matter which garden you are in, the owner wants to see a beautiful garden - this conclusion can only be determined by time." ”

Several of the freshmen who had come to be punished fell into a long silence.

A cold wind blew.

Zheng Qing tightened the sleeves of his robe and raised his head.

The sky was already gray.

In the distance, the sun has completely disappeared from view. The huge gray spots that were dull were like ugly patches, smeared across the sky, revealing a hint of dampness and slackness.

The black school working committee building still stood silently in front of a few people, without the slightest change.

Zheng Qing pulled out the pale red notice again.

"Maybe there's a roadmap or spell hidden on the list?" he tucked the notice between his spell book, trying to find some clues.

Zhang Jixin was also very interested in taking out the law book and tapping his notice with the spine of the book.

"Will you be late, will the punishment be aggravated if you are late?" Lin Guo changed back to the timid little boy.

"Someone. Blue's cold voice rang in everyone's ears.

Following his gaze, Zheng Qing saw a thin old man sitting under a weeping willow not far away.

"Go and ask!" Zhang Jixin put away the law book and the notice, and ran under the tree in a hurry.

The others glanced at each other and followed him, walking towards the old man.
