Chapter 41: A New Ideology and Moral Education Lecture (Part II)
"Because just a few months ago, I was one of you. I'm honored and a little flattered to be here. Before me, many great wizards started here. After me, there will be many wizards who will continue from here. ”
"It is a great honor for me to be appointed by the Minister as the Director of the Liaison Office for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures and a Professor of Ideological and Moral Education at the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter. Some of your innate and valuable talents may be fruitless if they are not nurtured and exercised under careful and meticulous guidance. Ancient skills unique to the wizarding world must be passed down from generation to generation, or they will be lost. The precious repositories of magical knowledge accumulated by our ancestors must be protected, supplemented and perfected by those who have had the privilege of pursuing a noble profession of education. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Cheng bowed slightly to the other teachers, and none of them returned the salute to him, but only exchanged glances with each other.
Luo Cheng naturally knew that it was normal for him, the airborne professor appointed by the Ministry of Magic, to be isolated by the other teachers, so he continued disappreciatively.
"In Hogwarts' long history, each of us has had our place; We are still pushing history forward, but we cannot see the end of it. This is the history of wizards, a history of the waves pushing the waves. Our traditions are well-honed and often don't need to be clumsily revised. To achieve a balance between the old and the new, between permanence and change, between tradition and innovation. But when it comes to some necessary points, we still have to make adjustments and choices......"
Luo Cheng said back and forth the words of "listening to your words is like listening to a seat", this kind of time-tested eight-strand Wenche dialect is not at all something that a student of his age in Hogwarts can bear. Soon the students below were all starting to lose concentration, whispering, giggling, and the auditorium was noisy.
But Luo Cheng was not angry, Cornelius Fudge was a suspicious fellow, and he had to behave like this to be out of place at Hogwarts in order to gain more trust from the cautious minister. As for Dumbledore, Luo Cheng had already obtained his prior understanding, as long as Dumbledore didn't do anything, he wouldn't have any big trouble at Hogwarts.
“…… Moral education is one such course, and for the past few hundred years, Hogwarts has been a rocky reef in the middle of a raging sea for young wizards. But now that times have changed, resolutely maintain what should be maintained, perfection needs to be perfected, and abandon those that we should prohibit. It is not enough for Hogwarts to provide shelter and teach magical skills to young wizards. In the past, we have neglected to educate the minds and morals of wizards, which has led to many tragedies. A wizard is strong in arithmetic, but if he does not have good morals, he will become a dark wizard who harms the world. The more powerful he is, the more damage he can cause, and the Mystic Man is the best example of this. ”
Speaking of the mystery man, Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, suddenly tightened his turban.
"At present, ideological and moral education is only an elective course. However, I need to point out that students who intend to apply for the Ministry of Magic from this year onwards must have a good grade or above in the Ideological Moral Education class. So I still hope that you can take this course more often. ”
Luo Cheng sat down. Dumbledore began to applaud, and the other teachers clapped their hands in unison.
"Thank you very much, Professor Luo Cheng, your speech is very enlightening to me."
Dumbledore said, "You can apply to your respective deans for the elective of Ideological Moral Education, because of the tight schedule and the needs of senior students, this course is currently only open to students from the fifth year onwards......
