Chapter 1078, only strict teachers can produce high-level apprentices
The Beijing Mechanical College also covers a large area, covering hundreds of acres. It is lined with trees and the teaching buildings are bustling with activity. Many students are listening to the lectures very seriously and learning machinery-related knowledge and skills.
.
The School of Mechanical Engineering is the same as the School of Medicine, Textile School, Shipbuilding School, Navigation School, Iron and Steel School, etc. All enrollments are through the new colleges opened under Liu Jin.
Because students in new colleges cannot take the imperial examinations, they have always recruited ordinary and poor students. Powerful people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas will still send their children to traditional private schools to study the Four Books and Five Classics.
Only then can you take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.
Because it mainly recruits children from ordinary and poor families, these children cherish the opportunity to study and learn knowledge.
Of course, in schools of this period, every teacher had a ruler in his hand. If he was disobedient or not serious, he would definitely be beaten.
The key is that after being beaten, you have no place to reason. Even if you go home, your parents will not only say nothing to the teacher, but will also beat you again.
The advantage of this era compared to later generations is in education. Everyone believes that it should be strict. Strict teachers produce good disciples. The key point is strictness.
Therefore, in the classrooms of the School of Mechanical Engineering, students are either seriously sharpening iron pestles or polishing machines, or they are constantly calculating, listening to lectures, etc. They are all very serious and careful.
Being able to have the opportunity to learn skills is something that countless people dream of. It is sweet to endure hardships and hardships. What's more, compared to learning from a private master and working for others for several years, you can learn some real skills.
It would be much better to continue studying in the academy, too much.
"Well, it's really good!"
Liu Jin walked around the Mechanical College very leisurely. Looking at the students who were studying seriously in each classroom, Liu Jin couldn't help but nod.
As a time traveler, Liu Jin has seen too many situations in schools in later generations.
Colleges in later generations basically divided students into good classes, bad classes, etc., to differentiate students. For students in good classes, teachers were more responsible and their teaching was more serious.
For students in bad classes, teachers basically ignore them. As long as you don't cause trouble in class, they don't care whether you are sleeping or doing anything else.
Under such circumstances, the result is that many promising students miss the best opportunities because of their temporary fun. Under the influence of the environment, their grades get worse and worse, and they enter the society early.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, one of the main reasons is that the education of later generations has been too influenced by external influences, and teachers have many concerns about teaching.
Many teachers originally wanted to control their students at first. When faced with some naughty students, it is normal to beat and scold them, but they may be beaten by the students' parents, criticized by society, and lose their jobs.
There are so many things like this, naturally no one is willing to do their best to take care of these students. I don't care whether you like to study or not. It's not the teacher who ultimately pays the bill if you don't know how to study.
In addition, there is the introduction of Western teaching ideas, which believe that we should pay attention to the self-development of learning and should not have too many constraints and disciplines. In fact, to put it simply, it is a happy education.
Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the education of later generations has been greatly affected. School management regards the safety of students as the most important thing. As for whether they can learn something or not, this is not the most important thing.
In such an environment, many children are actually very smart themselves, but they are just playful and active. As long as they are disciplined by strict teachers, their future achievements can actually be quite extraordinary.
But the school teachers dare not take care of it, their parents don’t have time to take care of it, and their grandparents are reluctant to take care of it. The result can be imagined. I don’t know how many smart children entered the society early because of this, and ultimately wasted their intelligence.
Intelligence.
(Do you have any such examples around you? I have them around me. When I was in school, some people were really smart. They studied casually and got good grades, but they were too playful. After middle school, they had to study seriously and hard.
When I was there, I didn’t keep up because I was too playful, and it ended up being ruined like this.)
But the Ming Dynasty was different at this time.
Whether it is a traditional private school or a new school, everyone believes in the same principle: a strict teacher will produce a good student!
No matter what they study, teachers have very high requirements for students, and teachers in this era are just like parents, with a strong sense of responsibility.
After all, in this era, master, master, teacher and parents can all be put together, which means that the status of teachers is quite high, and respect for teachers is also the trend of society.
In a traditional private school, the mentorship is an extremely important relationship. Teachers, students, and classmates are all extremely important relationships.
In such an environment, teachers have a strong sense of responsibility and are very strict with their students. Similarly, students also respect their teachers and must listen to their teachers carefully, because this is equivalent to their parents.
.
The school's teaching always follows such a rule.
Liu Jin agreed with such rules.
Liu Jin also believed that a strict teacher would produce a good disciple, so he should be strict with his students.
Children and teenagers are lively, naughty, and often do not understand anything. They need someone to guide them and someone to give them strict education, so that they can be successful.
After seeing the failure cases of free-range education in later generations, Liu Jin felt that strict education was also quite good.
Although such a harsh environment may cause psychological harm to some people, and it may also cause some people to suffer some physical pain, but compared with the overall educational results, it is not worth mentioning.
For students in the School of Mechanical Engineering, students enter the School of Mechanical Engineering after graduating from a new school.
Generally speaking, in the middle school graduation examination, students with excellent scores can be admitted to the university founded by Liu Jin to specialize in learning more in-depth knowledge. In the future, they will mainly go towards scientists and engineers, mainly to study new things.
.
Those with average grades can enter mechanical colleges, shipbuilding colleges, textile colleges, etc. to learn professional knowledge and skills, such as machine building, shipbuilding, textiles, steel, bridge repair, road paving, etc., and even carpentry, etc.
This is more clear than the education of later generations.
If you can read, you should be good at thinking and take the route of research and innovation. If you can't read, just learn professional knowledge and skills and develop in a field.
Under such a system, many schools established under Liu Jin have trained a large number of professional talents in just a few years.
Because the school pursues the policy of strict teachers producing high-quality apprentices, even in a professional school like the School of Mechanical Engineering, students study very hard and specialize in research.
When you are proficient in a certain technology or field, you will naturally be able to outperform others and constantly open up new fields and paths.
If the teaching is not strict, the teacher will be lazy.
Teachers in this era have such a sense of responsibility and responsibility.
It is precisely because of this sense of responsibility that the investment in education is not in vain. Students can learn knowledge and skills. With the knowledge and skills in hand after school, individuals can live a good life.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, many schools have cultivated more and more professional talents, which not only met the needs of Ming Dynasty's increasingly large factories, businesses, workshops and other industries, but also promoted the rapid development of Ming Dynasty technology.
develop.
At this time, in a classroom, there were dozens of students, each of whom was next to a machine, holding an iron rod in his hand and constantly polishing it on the machine.
In mechanical college, you learn to operate machines and polish things. These are the most basic things and the most tiring. When many people just start learning this, their hands will blister.
But each of these students is studying and polishing very seriously, and there is no trace of squeamishness or impatience.
Compared with students in the Steel Academy who practice blacksmithing and those in the Carpentry Academy who practice wood planing, grinding things is a relatively easy job for them, and they have the opportunity to learn knowledge and skills. This is a meaningless change for children from ordinary and poor backgrounds.
chance of your own destiny.
"Hands out!"
The teacher is carefully checking everyone's polishing situation, and will show no mercy to those who fail to polish.
After hearing the teacher's words, the students had to stretch out their hands.
"Papa~"
The sound of the ruler hitting the palm was very clear, which made every student become more serious and careful. After all, no one wanted to be beaten.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin, who witnessed all this with his own eyes outside the classroom, couldn't help but nod.
There is nothing wrong with a slap on the palm with a ruler. Unless the teacher has a grudge against the student, it is basically just a little physical pain, and it will not hurt the muscles or bones.
But for students, after receiving the education of the ruler, they will study more seriously and naturally learn more things.
Things like machinery actually require seriousness.
Because the more machinery develops, the more sophisticated it becomes. Without a serious attitude, it is difficult to develop machinery and achieve perfection.
"We still need to learn more about the wisdom of our ancestors. In the field of education, our ancestors did a good job. A strict teacher will produce a good disciple, and a teacher who is not strict in teaching will be lazy. These all contain profound wisdom."
"Education, teaching and educating people should be like this. My investment of millions of taels every year is not in vain."
Seeing such a scene, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.
Having seen too many failed education cases in later generations, Liu Jin felt that the ancients still had a lot to offer in education.
