Chapter 993: On Education

The classroom is quite large, with a blackboard and chalk, and a table for each person. Many children are already preparing for class.

Bian Guan and Wang Yanbi have a little girl named Xiao Zao, who learns very quickly. Bian Guan already knows abacus and mental arithmetic within 10,000 at the age of four. He keeps skipping grades and is now almost in the fifth grade.

Su You glanced at the classroom. Most of the children were eleven or twelve years old, older than Bian Guan and Wang Yanbi.

Bian Guan was originally dissatisfied with the class, but now he proudly declared: "My dad is accompanying me to class today!"

Su You could only nod to everyone kindly: "Hello, classmates."

The children knew that Bian Guan's father was Chongchen, but they had no idea how heavy Chongchen was, so at most they just nodded and called uncle to finish the work.

Bian Guan came to his desk and sat down, Su You also sat next to him, then opened his bag, took out the stationery box, inkstone, and stickers, and began to grind ink.

Bian Guan also took out his textbook and read it early. Su You polished the ink and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Bian Guo was a little curious: "Dad, what are you doing?"

Su You closed his eyes: "Calm down, put aside all random thoughts before class, and prepare yourself for listening attentively next time. This is Daddy's secret to studying."

Bian Guan thought this trick was good. After reading the book, he also started to learn it.

Other classmates also followed suit. Among other things, Bian Guan's father ranked third in the imperial examination. As for academic matters, just follow suit.

When the professor came to the classroom, he saw a group of students sitting upright with their eyes closed and concentrating. There was an adult next to the flat jar. He couldn't help but be stunned. Then looking at his age and appearance, he immediately thought that this person must be Baohe Dian.

Bachelor Su You and Su Shaobao.

He quickly came to Su You and said, "Uh... is it Bachelor Su?"

Su You opened his eyes and saw a young man in front of him, about twenty-six or seven years old. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "I am Su You, the father of Su Zichao. Zichao has been educated by Mr. Su You. I am polite."

Already."

The professor quickly returned the favor: "Don't dare, bachelor, this is..."

Su You said: "Yesterday, Zichao said that my husband would allow me to take leave and let him accompany me for a few days. I thought that I might as well come to school, so that I can stay with you and learn at the same time. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Don't worry, I'll just find a place to write.

These things will never interfere with your teaching."

The professor suddenly felt that there were two invisible horns on Su You's head, devil father, this is...

No wonder the Su family is so good at studying. Look, the first thing they do after returning from thousands of miles away is to accompany their children to school!

He said: "Compared with the knowledge of the bachelor, I am like a firefly daring to compete with the bright moon. I am afraid that the bachelor will laugh out loud after hearing this."

Su You said: "No, no, I haven't used the classics for many years, so I have become a lot rusty. Moreover, I will understand it more after reading it once, which is perfect for reviewing with my children."

The young professor had no choice but to say: "Then, bachelor, you can do it yourself, I will start the class right away."

Su You gave another salute: "Teacher is the most respected person in the classroom, sir. I invite you."

When the professor returned to the lecture, Bian Guan shouted: "Stand up!" Apparently he was still the leader of the class.

Next came the daily routine of saluting and greetings. Su You also followed suit, then sat down with the children and began to write a note to Zhao Xu.

The young people's lectures were quite good, not at the level of ordinary young scholars. Su You thought about it too. The princess of Shu would not worry about leaving her children to study here. The level would definitely be the same.

The content of the course was not very deep, and Su You could move his pen like flying skills. Occasionally, he would listen to the essence of what the teacher said.

The professor's explanations, the children's readings, and the learning atmosphere made Su You feel like a god was helping him, and he felt that he was in a very good state of writing articles today.

Education is also one of the ten major things that Su You wants to talk about. It is just right to write this in school.

The Chinese nation places the highest emphasis on education among all countries today.

However, the Chinese nation mostly elaborates on the two aspects of "teaching" and "learning" separately, but does not form an overall concept.

Therefore, there are still some deficiencies and deviations in the theoretical summary of education.

In Su You's memorial, education was integrated and defined as a purposeful, organized, planned, and systematic social activity that imparts knowledge and technical specifications.

This definition includes all content related to teaching and learning, and is not just limited to the previous scripture meaning.

Based on this, Su You elaborated to prove why he defined education so broadly.

In fact, some people have realized this. The words "son inherits father's inheritance, Keshaojiqiu" actually include the content of education, but no one has specifically discussed it.

The children learned the skills and lifestyle of their fathers, and were able to start a business and start a family on their own, support themselves, carry on the family lineage, and contribute their own strength to the country.

This process is the cornerstone of the stability and development of the Song Dynasty. Can you say that this is not the connotation of education?

To include these, we must first talk about the fundamental value and significance of education.

The fundamental value of education is to provide the country with talents with lofty beliefs, noble morals, honesty and law-abiding, skilled, knowledgeable, and versatile talents;

Cultivate and nurture the motivation needed for national and social development;

Cultivate qualified citizens, create knowledge for the country, the family, and society, create spiritual and material wealth, promote economic growth, promote the prosperity of the country and nation, promote the development of people, the development of mankind, the development of the world, and the development of civilization.

It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.

Education is the process of shaping and condensing personality; and education in the Song Dynasty should be the process of shaping and condensing the personality of the Chinese nation.

And when the personalities of all the Chinese people were condensed, they became the national style of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, for the country and society, education is the most important thing to change the quality and temperament of the country.

Therefore its importance is self-evident.

After emphasizing the importance of education, the next step is to describe the current situation of education in the Song Dynasty.

Su You must be dissatisfied with the current situation.

The purpose is unclear, the organization is not standardized, the plan is not long-term, and the system is imperfect.

That's it. Education is not yet popular. The proportion of educated talents is too small, the efficiency is not high, and the level is not enough. It is difficult to achieve the realization of the fundamental values ​​mentioned above, and it is difficult to provide sufficient power for the development of the country and society.

The biggest dissatisfaction is that today’s education has even deviated from the fundamental value of education.

Scholars, farmers, industry, commerce, and the military, all walks of life, still have great room for improvement in their professional skills. However, today's education level in the Song Dynasty only focuses on the cultivation of administrative talents, while neglecting the improvement of other aspects.

.

It can almost be said that there is only one place that has a complete education system in the world today - Meishan.

Therefore, talents from all walks of life are now beginning to emerge in Meishan, and then radiate to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jinghu, and even Nanhai.

The abilities and qualities of these talents who have received a complete education system have also been deeply reflected in the vigorous development of these areas.

Different from the private education in Changsheng, Fujian, the education system in Meishan not only cultivates administrative talents, literary talents, historical and philosophical talents, so Meishan people have more and wider prospects, instead of having to seek Jinshi and Gao Di.

, in order to contribute to the country and society.

Letting everyone receive education, form a correct outlook on life, develop professional skills, and be able to create social value is almost the purpose of Meishan's education system.

Of course, Meishan's ability to do this is closely related to its level of economic development. However, there is one most fundamental difference between Meishan's and Wailu's thinking, which is that they do not pursue excellence and perfection right from the start.

It is still the same as being refined and pure. When implemented in education now, we must adapt to the reality of the Song Dynasty - let different people get different levels of education, and then slowly raise the lower limit of this level, and things can be done.

This involves the classification of education.

In terms of levels, it can be divided into basic education, secondary education and higher education.

From the perspective of resource providers, it can be divided into family education, government education, and private education.

In terms of degree, it can be divided into popular education and professional education.

The goals that the Song Dynasty’s education needs to achieve, from a political level, are to strive to expand the educated population, comprehensively improve the education level of the people, strive to improve the quality of the people, condense the national temperament and national character, and establish a comprehensive education network system

, gradually deepen the level of education, refine the categories of education, expand the scale of education, and form an education system.
