Victor, Schiller and Anna have been worried about Gotham's vocational education.
Victor because he really likes teaching and educating people, Schiller because he wants to improve the overall educational level of Gotham residents, and Anna, she thinks that students from vocational education schools can contribute to Gotham University.
Provide a better source of students instead of recruiting a group of hopelessly illiterate students every year.
Due to Gotham University's special geographical location, it is almost difficult to recruit good students from big cities. High-quality students from the entire East Coast either enter Ivy League schools or go to other universities in metropolitan areas. Almost no one will risk their lives to come to Gotham University.
Tan goes to school.
Those who come to Gotham to study are basically students who have no choice but to come here because they want to go to college, and there are also local students who want to stay in Gotham.
It is difficult for these two types of people to have high talents and qualities. Foreign students usually come from small seaside towns like Blüdhaven. Since they cannot go to universities in surrounding big cities, they can only take the risk of coming to Gotham.
Students from such places have poor foundations due to the poor local education standards, and it is very difficult to teach them.
Not to mention local students in Gotham. Local students in Gotham are generally divided into two categories. One type is really good in studies, but they didn't take the exam outside their hometown because they didn't want to leave their hometown.
But these students are the most orthodox indigenous residents of Gotham. They have all the good qualities of Gotham citizens. Therefore, although their talents are good, they are very difficult to discipline and their minds are not on studying at all. As long as they do not use their high talents to
If you have the IQ to commit a crime, then thank God.
Another type of local students are the descendants of gangsters who are similar to Vince Yin. The gang leaders do not want their children to learn anything from school, but they just think that college students have better names and send them to be gold-plated.
There are also good students like Yin Wensi here, but the number is too small, and most of their energy is focused on running the family business. They come to school just for a formality and cannot study seriously.
Such a composition of students makes it difficult for Gotham University to be at the forefront of East Coast university education. To put it bluntly, it is basically at the bottom. It is just because the overall education level of the East Coast is not bad, so it can barely be ranked high in the United States.
In order to improve this situation, some Gotham University professors headed by Schiller who did not plan to change jobs planned to start with basic education.
However, it is impossible to provide compulsory education in Gotham. There is no soil for compulsory education and universal education. If you want more people to receive education, you can only induce them to make money. In other words, they must learn trades.
, it is possible for them to enter school only if they learn something that can pay off in a short period of time.
For this reason, Schiller and others have long formulated plans for vocational education.
However, the opening of vocational education schools in the past has encountered considerable resistance. Since they are lured with profits, they will inevitably be trapped by profits. Too many people want to get involved in education, want teachers and students to be used by them, and want to
Let schools teach what they want to teach.
But if they really succeed, everything will return to the original point in the end, and there will be no way to achieve the goal of getting more people to enter the path of systematic education.
Therefore, this vocational education school must be independent from all forces, and it is not easy to achieve this.
However, Schiller does have a ready-made point of reference, and that is Gotham University itself.
For some reason, this place has now become his territory. All the gangsters in Gotham know that no matter what happens, they cannot enter this university and disturb the students here.
If the students here, for their own reasons, do not complete their homework on time, something terrible will happen.
Ever since Schiller became a professor at Gotham University, this has become a silent understanding among Gotham gangsters. In most cases, Gotham University is a piece of pure land in Gotham City, and it can really provide good education.
Learning atmosphere.
In this case, it is better to expand the territory of Gotham University and directly integrate the vocational education school into Gotham University's education system as Gotham University's preparatory course.
In this way, more talented children can be selected from the civilian class to enter universities, instead of relying solely on those rare geniuses and rich second generations who want to be gilded.

Moreover, students in vocational education who pass exams and enter university will gain an inertia of learning, which can well correct the careless thinking of Gotham citizens and allow them to think about problems more logically.
And then affect their next generation.
In addition, even if you don’t go to college and just graduate from a preparatory course, you can still master a skill that can sustain your livelihood. This will increase the income of these people and allow them to provide better conditions for their descendants. These conditions also include
educational conditions.
In a series of long-term education reform plans, the first generation is actually just a test subject, which can also be said to be a hematopoietic machine. In essence, it is to screen out those more rational scholars so that their descendants can gradually occupy Gotham.
For the middle class, it will become easier to carry out top-down reforms.
After the plan for Gotham Vocational and Technical College was finalized, Victor had been running the procedures, but because Mayor Luo Yin was in cahoots with them, and the state Legislature really couldn't control them, almost no effort, space, or funding was expended.
, all the information was approved.
Previously, Lex Luthor donated a new laboratory building to Gotham University. However, due to the short construction period, more than half of it has not been completed. Only one building in the first phase has been completed, and the Vocational Education College has
Put it in this new building.
Gotham University is not short of funds. Therefore, the hardware and software here are good, and there is a considerable open space for practical operations. Ignoring the fact that the dormitory and classrooms are only separated by two floors, this is a perfect professional building.
Educational school.
After the school was opened, the next step was to recruit students. Victor originally wanted to exclude those people who were forced into the school by gangsters, but Schiller refuted his point of view.
Schiller believes that this time, the gangs will not put their own children into this vocational education school.
The vast majority of gang leaders are short-sighted. They only think that they have made enough money in this life, so why do their children have to work so hard? Isn't it good to just lie on the golden mountain of their own home, eat, drink and have fun?
The composition of student majors at Gotham University also illustrates this point.
The vast majority of gangster children choose majors with nice-sounding names. Art majors are the most popular. Among arts, fine arts, art criticism, etc., majors that sound high-end are even more popular.
Gangs will send students to vocational education schools. Most of them are middle-level people with more flexible minds in the gang. They do not need to patrol and maintain the gang's territory every day like the bottom members. They have enough free time. At the same time, they have the highest technical requirements.
of.
In an area, the management of tap water, the arrangement of electricity, the operation method of cold storage, and the sequence of freight logistics all require this group of people to arrange and manage. And precisely because they do not have such abilities, the gangs are more eager to send them away.
Go to school and let them study hard.
After reaching an agreement on this issue, Victor also agreed to the gangs sending students. However, the dispatch was also conditional. Paying tuition was essential. At the same time, as long as the gangs sending students in, they must ensure that the school's school buses and trucks are available.
safety, and at the same time provide the most basic material guarantee for vocational education schools.
This process is actually the most time-consuming, because you have to deal with various gangs, and no one is willing to let go when it comes to their own territory and interests. After a long negotiation, the admission list was finalized.
When seeing this list, both Victor Schiller and Anna discovered that there was a special name on it - Tracey Gold.
"What's going on? Doesn't the Goth family own a shipyard? It's also a reputable family in Gotham. Why did Mrs. Goth send his daughter to a vocational education school?" Anna obviously knew the situation in Gotham very well, she frowned
She raised her eyebrows and put her finger on her chin and said: "Such a charming lady, she either learns musical instruments or art. How could Mrs. Goethe let her learn to repair cars?"
Victor also shook his head, looking a little confused, and Schiller didn't know what Mrs. Goethe wanted to do.
He speculated for a while and then said: "Some time ago, I met their mother and daughter in the theater. At that time, Detective Gordon told me that the Goethe family and the Witte family were discussing an engagement."
"If that's the case, then Miss Goethe probably won't get married after finishing college, but will get married directly after graduating from a church high school."
"Now it seems that there may be some problems with the engagement. The Goethe family may not want to be engaged to the Werther family. However, you need a reason to regret the marriage. As long as you send your daughter to college, there is no way that little Werther will wait for Goethe.
Can you marry her after you finish college? That way you can legitimately escape from the engagement."
"That makes sense." Anna and Victor nodded, and she continued: "This can also explain why Mrs. Goethe cannot wait until the official start of the university in September, and now she has to rush to send Miss Goethe up.
Because if we wait until September, I’m afraid all the weddings will be finished.”
"Besides, I guess that Miss Goethe must be closely related to that boy from the Werther family." Victor's imagination was even richer. He said: "It's not good for a mother to break up her daughter by force. She can only send her daughter to school. As long as
Let them separate and maybe they will forget about it in a few months."
The three of them all nodded, feeling that their speculation was reasonable.
But at this time, Victor was in a bit of trouble. He said: "A girl from a wealthy family went to Class 3, which teaches car repair skills. Let's not talk about whether she can learn the skills. Just those truck tires."
, she shouldn’t be able to move it, right?”
Schiller snorted coldly and said: "You have to move it even if you can't move it. Learning is about overcoming all difficulties. If you can't move the tires, you won't move them. If you can't remove the screws, you won't remove them. If you don't know how to memorize the book backs, you still need a teacher.
What to do?"
"That's right, I know these ladies very well. Despite their appearance, they can't carry their shoulders or lift their hands, and they will fall over if a gust of wind blows them. But if they are allowed to go shopping, they can walk for more than ten hours without stopping.
"Anna curled her lips and said.
"I don't care what the purpose of her coming here is." Schiller knocked on the table and said: "As long as you enter school, you have to study hard and succeed in your studies before you can graduate. It's the same for everyone, and Wayne can't
Exception, does Goethe think she is better than Wayne?"
Anna and Victor looked at each other, and both of them showed a gloating smile. Obviously, they had heard the news that Bruce Wayne was almost postponed by Schiller because of insufficient credits.
Schiller picked up his cane, stood up and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of school at the vocational education school. I will attend the whole class. If anyone dares not to study hard, I will personally talk to his boss."
Seeing Schiller's sneer, Victor and Anna shuddered together.
