In the classroom of Class 3 (1) of Xincheng No. 3 Middle School in the South District of Beijing, teacher Chen Xinwei is giving the last lesson to his children. Another group of students is about to graduate. There is a lot of reluctance in his heart, but more
I still hope that my students can have a bright future and have a bright future.
"Classmates~"
"This is your last class in middle school. Soon you will face the most important college entrance examination in your life."
"I'm here to wish you a successful start, get good grades, and get into the university of your dreams!"
As Teacher Chen Xinwei finished speaking, the students also applauded one after another. Tears began to appear in some people's eyes. After three years of being together, the time of separation was about to come. This parting may never be possible again.
Met.
"I also hope that you will not forget each other. The friendship between classmates is the most precious friendship and the purest friendship. In the future, you will understand that the friendship on campus is the most precious friendship. This period is also the most unforgettable period.
.”
"In the long road of life in the future, I hope you can cherish this friendship with each other. If you encounter difficulties, I also hope you can help each other. The feeling of classmates is what we Ming literati have always valued most.
friendship!"
"Although we are not traditional scholars, we have also studied for eight years and will go to college in the future. Don't forget to study after graduating from college. Live and learn as you go. Only knowledge will never let you down!"
As Chen Xinwei spoke, there were slight tears in his eyes.
People in the Ming Dynasty attach great importance to the master-disciple relationship, and fellow disciples are extremely important relationships.
Although there is a big difference between the new school and the traditional old school, the old students also attend classes one by one. They are not just teaching to one class. However, the students in this class in front of me have been taught by myself for three years.
Looking at the young and familiar faces, I recalled every bit of the past three years in my heart.
"We will definitely remember our teacher's teachings!"
Upon hearing this, dozens of students also replied in unison.
Although Xinxue was founded with reference to the education system of later generations, it did not completely copy the teaching system of later generations. One of the big differences was that teachers could physically punish students.
Methods of corporal punishment include hitting the palms with a pointer, spanking, or corporally punishing students by making them face the wall and squat on a horse to educate those students who are idle and naughty.
Many naughty children are so lawless at home that their parents cannot control them, but they are made docile and submissive when they get to school.
In this era, it is important that a strict teacher produces a good disciple, and a stick produces a filial son. Beating and scolding students is not a big deal. Many times they are beaten by teachers in school, and they will be beaten by their parents when they return home. No matter how naughty students are,
I also give you a gentle blow.
As for those parents who are unreasonable, feel that they cannot beat or scold their students, or feel that the teacher's discipline is inappropriate, the school can also directly expel their children.
There is no way to teach new students, so you should hire someone else.
Under such a strict education and teaching environment, students in the school are managed to be obedient, polite, study hard, and their character has been sharpened.
It will be different in later generations. Teachers and schools simply do not dare to control those students who are idle. They cannot scold them, let alone beat them. As for schools, they cannot fire these students because students have the right to receive education.
However, it is under such an environment that the fools become even more foolhardy and the naughty ones become more unscrupulous.
Many students are lawless in school, hitting their classmates and teachers, imitating young and Dangerous boys, showing loyalty to others, being incompetent, and full of ruffianism.
Even if you don't study hard yourself, you will lead other students into trouble and bully those children who want to study. There is no other way. Each school has to separate good classes and bad classes.
But this has been met with opposition from many parents, who believe that separate classes will make their children less able to read, and they are firmly opposed to this.
Since you are against it and want your children to study well, why don't you provide strict education and management?
It can be said that this is very contradictory. Many adults are actually still children who have not grown up.
It was different in the Ming Dynasty. Teachers had always been strict with their teachers to produce good students. When they came to school, they had to study hard. Teachers had strict requirements with a responsible attitude towards students and parents.
If you are idle and unruly, I will tell you to get out.
This is not a public school, it is a private school. They will read to you for free and teach you knowledge. If you don’t study well, then you should go out and mingle in society.
Students also tend to be less squeamish than later generations of children.
Every household has a large number of children, ranging from three or four to seven or eight or more than a dozen. Unlike in later generations, where only children were prevalent, they are all little princesses and princes in the family. Each one looks like a treasure, for fear that
Suffering injustice, suffering and so on.
This does not exist in this era. Parents are busy running for life. If you don't study well in school, you will definitely not be able to bear a beating when you go home.
Therefore, children often study very seriously and study very hard.
Knowledge is precious in this era!
That is to say, Liu Jin had the world in his heart and selflessly founded a new school to provide free education for everyone. Without Liu Jin, how many people in the entire Ming Dynasty would have been able to receive education?
It is estimated that only a few out of 100 children can receive education. Most people are unable to receive education and knowledge.
Parents know this, and their children have been indoctrinated with this idea since childhood.
In an era where people who learn blacksmithing, bamboo-making, or butchering have to work for a few years in vain for their masters, to learn a skill, you have to respect and treat your master as a parent.
Now Xinxue will give you free study and provide you with a meal. If you don't want to study hard, then go back early and don't delay other people here.
Therefore, in the new school, there is no division between good and bad classes. Those who can read and those who cannot read also study together. The only difference is in grades. In terms of attitude, everyone is actually very serious and careful.
"Yang Huai, which university are you going to take the exam for?"
Ouyang Qing asked, pushing his deskmate beside him.
"Imperial College, you know, my dream is to become an automotive engineer and build cars in the future. I want a car of my own."
Yang Huai replied without thinking.
Yang Huai, who grew up in the capital, loved the car when he first saw it. However, he is just the child of an ordinary worker and there is no way he can afford a car worth several thousand taels of silver, so he thought
If you want to buy a car, you have to rely on yourself.
"If you have good grades, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get into which university you want to go to. It's going to be difficult for me. I guess I'll have to work after I graduate."
Ouyang Qing said with some envy.
Reading still requires talent. With the same teacher and the same class, my grades are not as good as Yang Huai's. Sometimes I have to make people lament that the comparison between people is irritating.
"You can take the independent admissions exams of those universities. Your biology scores are still very good. You can take the entrance exams of medical schools. Maybe you can be admitted to Daming Medical College and become a doctor in the future. Xuanhujishi, too.
Very good.”
Yang Huai thought for a while and suggested.
"I also want to get admitted to Daming Medical College, but it is becoming more and more difficult to get admitted to Daming Medical College."
"Now it is not only required that the scores in biology and chemistry should be above distinction, but also the requirements for Chinese studies and mathematics are getting higher and higher. As you know, my mathematics scores have never been ideal. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to pass the exam.
."
Ouyang Qing said helplessly.
These Daxue's independent admissions examinations are targeted at certain talented students, but they also have certain requirements for other subjects, and they are not just related subjects.
"Perhaps you can become a soldier. Based on the culture you spent in middle school, you may have the opportunity to enter a military school after becoming a soldier. Then it will be great."
Yang Huai looked at Ouyang Qing. Ouyang Qing was tall and strong. He might be a good soldier.
"I also want to be a soldier, but there are too few places for soldiers in our capital. There are only a few thousand places a year, and there are more than 100,000 people of the same age here in the capital. The physical examination is not just about height and strength.
, it’s not that easy to become a soldier.”
Ouyang Qing said with his mouth.
In fact, in the capital, there are still many opportunities for children in the capital.
If your family is wealthy and has good conditions, you can go to private schools and academies. Now there are many more private schools and academies in the capital, and the number of people studying at old schools is also increasing every year.
If the conditions are not good, then go to a new school. If you can read, go to university. Go to university, continue your studies, learn deeper theories and knowledge, and engage in research or technology in the future. The income will be quite good.
Even if you can't get into college, you can still join the army. There are actually a lot of places for soldiers here in the capital, much more than in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. It is also relatively easier to become a soldier.
If you don't want to be a soldier, you can also work as apprentices in major commercial houses, factories, etc. People who graduate from Xinxue Middle School are very popular in major commercial firms and factories because they have basic mathematics, Chinese studies, common sense, etc.
I have learned everything, applied what I have learned, and taught with the concept of practicality first, and I can quickly adapt to the requirements of factories and businesses.
After these people come out, they will be treated as seeds of potential for companies and factories to be cultivated. Many of them have now become the backbone and management of large companies and factories.
If that doesn't work, children in the Beijing-Tianjin area can still go abroad or immigrate. There are many ways to do it, because the world's wealth and information are gathered here in the capital. In such an environment, everyone has a broader vision and knows better.
