1. Marseille (2)

The empire implemented nine-year compulsory education for all citizens, which was the world's leading moral policy, and it was also an education system that only the empire could support.

In the era of industrialization, the demand for high-quality industrial workers has made all countries urgently seek to achieve universal compulsory education, but the dream is full, but the reality is skinny. When countries decided to implement compulsory education, they found that the first problem they faced was that they did not have so many teachers......

Education has always been a privilege limited to royalty, nobility, clergy, and merchants, and the study and study of magic has been limited to the upper echelons with magical blood. Due to limited demand and tightly controlled knowledge, countries have long had limited numbers of people working in education. The first problem in the rush to start universal compulsory education is that there are not enough qualified teachers, and even if the big men above are willing to abandon the traditional class concept and put the teachers who were originally responsible for the education of the aristocracy into the education of the whole people, it will still not be able to fill the huge gap between demand and supply.

Even if the countries solve the first problem, there is a more fatal second problem waiting for them, that is, they do not know what kind of teachers, what kind of teaching materials, what kind of curriculum arrangement, and what kind of teaching progress are needed for universal compulsory education...... In the final analysis, the compulsory education system, like the industrial system, is also the result of accumulation. You can imitate and refer to, but to develop a set of education system suitable for your own national conditions, you can only rely on repeated trial and error and accumulation of experience, just like the factory at the beginning of the product quality is not up to standard, in a large number of defective products on the experience and lessons of gradually improve the production process, improve the quality of the product. The development and construction of the education system is also based on the lives of a large number of students, and it is gradually explored and developed. Trying to come up with a complete set of sound systems in a hurry is tantamount to a fool's dream.

In comparison, the two -

“...... The superiority of socialism lies in this, and under the genius leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial system is able to exert a higher efficiency than that of other countries. Whether it is the post-war reconstruction, the investment in major construction projects, or even the reconstruction and integration of the education system, the speed of the empire is higher than the reconstruction rate of all countries in history after the war, and even higher than the United Principality of Rus', the Kingdom of Albion, and other countries that did not suffer major losses in the war. Compared with the chaos and chaos of the old kingdom before, it highlights that the genius chosen by the gods to lead the country is the right way, the foolish leader will bring the country to ruin, and the country dominated by the foolish will only plunge itself and the country into a catastrophe......"

Mr. Collomon walked back and forth on the podium with his textbook in his hand, his slightly excited voice echoing through the classroom. But despite his vigorous presentation, only a handful of the students in the classroom were willing to buy it.

The classroom can accommodate a total of 36 students, and the 36 desks are arranged in a 6×6 square, which looks very neat. Regrettably, however, the students are only present in the first two rows, with the third row being the watershed and the last four rows presenting ...... Uh, how do you say it, decadent? or avant-garde?

Bubble gum blowing, snacking, chatting, laughing, juggling by the windows and graffiti on the walls, and those who don't know think they're in some market or a circus in town, and they don't know how to discipline at all. What is even more amazing is that neither the teacher nor the class committee members have any intention of stopping or maintaining discipline, and the whole classroom is like a strange abstract painting of two worlds.

In the eyes of outsiders, this must be an absurd picture, but in the "Zepp-Dietrich" secondary school, this is just an ordinary daily routine, and it is still a commonplace scenery when zoomed in to the fourth-class civic schools throughout the empire.

Happy education.

Also known as easy education, relaxed education, it is now a common education method for all fourth-class citizens in the empire.

Ostensibly a considerate policy of the Empire to ensure a happy and relaxed childhood for schoolchildren, it was in fact a kind of "differentiated education" that was used to distinguish between the elite and the tools – the middle elite and the tools managed by the elite in the future. It can be said that the opportunity is equal for everyone, it depends on how you choose.

Some people may ask, isn't it irresponsible to let ignorant children who lack self-discipline and long-term planning ability choose their own future? Of course not, regardless of the national composition and economic development of the empire, this kind of education still has its rationality from a financial point of view.

As a result of the war three years ago, the empire had expended a lot of resources, and then it was the post-war reconstruction and the pacification of the turmoil, and the budget left for education was necessarily limited. On the other hand, even if the empire is well-intentioned, it is willing to invest in education at any cost, so as to achieve universal elite education. In the end, due to the differences in students' personal qualifications and self-discipline, they will eventually be divided into "tools" and "elites". Since the end result is the same, even if you don't make extra investments, the guy who is not willing to be a tool for the rest of his life and wants to get ahead will still work hard to climb up.

Marseille is the one who has ambition and sharpens his head to get ahead.

Unwilling to be a laborer or baker for the rest of his life, he wanted to climb higher and become a man of men, but he could not afford the tuition of college, he was admitted to a military academy to become a soldier, and after his service was completed, he was transferred to a local civil service - this was Marseille's life plan, and before that, he had several things that he had to achieve.

The same is an excellent result.

The other is the comments of the school, the youth league and the community neighborhood organization, which is known as the "internal evaluation report".

Based on the free-range principle of happy education, the school that shouts that "play is the nature of children, and children should be allowed to develop freely" will never publish students' academic performance, nor do they encourage competition, no matter how bad the test scores are, even if the total credits of all subjects are only 7 points, or even all of them are zero, they can still graduate. However, the student's academic performance and school performance will be written into the "internal evaluation form", which will follow each student for the rest of his life and into the coffin with social credit records, criminal records, academic certificates, social welfare numbers, neighborhood surveillance reports, military service records, and so on.

The internal evaluation form is mainly divided into two parts, the first part is "academic ability", which is the grades. The second part is "life attitude and political performance", which includes whether or not he actively participates in social collective activities, political leanings, whether he has fulfilled his obligations to the empire (i.e., whistleblowing), and there are also a large number of secret reports from teachers, classmates, cleaners, and family members, and after a rigorous review, it is finally concluded that this person is suitable to be a tool or a manager.

The great thing about the internal review is that the results of the evaluation of the children who value these pages are often not bad. But for children who don't value it much, there is no deterrent at all - they are all ready to be "tools" in the future, as long as there are no "anti-social tendencies", there will be no big problem. For example, abnormal sexuality, orientation, and orientation, not participating in various social groups, not donating money during winter relief, and being disrespectful to the emperor and the empire will be regarded as "anti-social". In the Empire, "anti-social" is a crime that is only one step away from "treason", and it will encounter problems in finding a job and obtaining social benefits, and in severe cases, it will be directly sent to a powerful department, and finally "freedom through labor" in a labor camp.

Marseille was a child of excellent character and learning, a representative of the outstanding students of the fourth class of citizens of the Empire, and a concrete example of the superiority of the national, national, and socialist education system. There is no doubt that he is very good, and it stands to reason that his life should be as smooth and complete as he planned for himself. But he knew very well that his other performances might be fine, but there was still a piece of the puzzle left before he wanted the life he wanted, and only by filling the gap could he get the internal review letter that he had never had the chance to see in his life before graduating next year, and then get a recommendation for the escort military school.

The name of that piece of the puzzle is "Whistleblowing".

Whether it was the official government of the empire, whether it was a school teacher, or an organization of children's and youth leagues, the official government never advocated and encouraged citizens below the first-class citizen level to tell each other in the form of words and words. But they use their actions – the differential treatment of whistleblowers and non-whistleblowers, double standards – to tell every citizen and report to the government all the secrets you have: your family's, your friends', your classmates', your colleagues'...... This is the duty of a citizen of the Empire. Any "non-national" who fails to fulfill his obligations will eventually suffer the relentless iron fist of the Empire.

Marseille is desperate to change his life and fate, but from the bottom of his heart, he hates whistleblowers and the act of whistleblowing itself, let alone denounces those around him. But without informing, he would not have been recognized by the empire, he would not have been able to go to military school, and he would not have been able to live the life he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Marseille once wanted to go to the teacher to denounce a few bad boys in the class, but he quickly gave up this idea, on the one hand, these people have no weight in the eyes of the teacher and the school, and the little reports about them have long been piled up. On the other hand, Marseille felt a deep nausea at the thought of running into his office, standing upright, saluting, and then nodding and bending over the ears of the class teacher, the head of students, or the school police officer (the type of police officer who specializes in school violence).

- If only I had some clues or people from a terrorist organization that I had bumped into.

While jotting down words in his notebook in praise of the empire and the emperor, Marseille thought half-jokingly in his heart. Little did he know it at the time, but soon his whimsical would come to fruition in a form that he had never expected, and his life would change dramatically.
