Chapter 17 Meryl's First Lesson - Your Muggle Studies are a Chicken
"Although I didn't have high expectations for the level of education in the wizarding world," Meryl fiddled with the tableware, her expression revealing her tiredness. "But I didn't expect that a professor from the wizarding world would even be in the Muggle world."
There is no passing level of secondary education.”
"I think this is just because of the different research directions between wizards and Muggles. Because most of the things Muggles study are not needed by us."
"Then what are you studying, what courses are available in schools, and what role they play in the wizarding world?"
"We have a total of 8 required courses and 5 elective courses at Hogwarts, a total of 13 courses. The 8 required courses include:
The flying lesson starts with how to pick up a broomstick and learn the most basic broomstick flying skills.
In herbal medicine class, you learn how to identify various herbs and understand their functions.
Charms class learns the functions and uses of some common spells.
Defense Against the Dark Arts Learn how to defend yourself against attacks from the dark arts or magical animals.
Deformation teaches students how to deform objects.
In the Potions class, you learn how to prepare antidotes for various commonly used potions and basic poisons.
History of Magic teaches you everything you need to know about the history of the wizarding world, including the Goblin Rebellion and the Burning of Witches in the Middle Ages.
Astronomy class observes the orientation, movement trajectories of planets and stars, and the influence between stars.
Among the 8 compulsory courses, only the flying course can be completed in one year. The other 7 compulsory and elective courses will take the os ordinary wizard exam in the fifth grade. Those with good scores can enter the s advanced class for advanced study. Students can take the os advanced class according to their scores and
The dean’s advice and employment guidance in the second semester of fifth grade are used to select a career plan and arrange courses for the next two years.
5 elective courses include:
The divination class predicts the future by studying tea leaves, crystal balls, astrology and other things.
Arithmetic Divination Class: Complex mathematical calculations are required for divination.
In the Care of Magical Creatures class, you learn about the appearance, personality and living habits of various magical creatures.
Ancient runes include the translation of ancient runes and the deciphering of Nordic scripts, involving the direct use of ancient magic and spiritual power.
Muggle Studies mainly focuses on learning about Muggle social patterns, lifestyles, and the correct attitude toward and treatment of Muggles. It also learns how to communicate with Muggles correctly.
The 5 elective courses require students to choose at least 2 courses in the third grade.”
"Flying class is equivalent to physical education. Herbal medicine is the basic subject of botany, crop cultivation, and potions. Potions are a combination of wizard chemistry and handicraft classes. It may also be considered a branch or foundation of alchemy. It is the only industry in the wizard curriculum.
Agricultural and sideline products processing courses. Charms, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts are the main courses. Magical Creatures are animal encyclopedia and animal breeding and slaughtering. Runes are, um, ancient literature and art, Muggle studies. You have really studied them.
As for divination, horoscopes"
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that the best magic school in Europe and the United States is not as good as a secondary vocational school." Linglong's tone was slightly contemptuous.
"What is a secondary vocational school? And don't forget that you are just a humble house elf. It is not your turn to comment on wizarding matters." Snape expressed his displeasure at Linglong's contempt.
"I'm warning you British wizards not to compare me to those filthy little devils and hybrid elves in Hogwarts." Before he could finish his words, Linglong snapped her fingers, and Snape was suspended upside down in the air.
.
"Our flower gardening family is an elf tribe, but since they moved to China in 200 BC, they have inherited the blood of brown elves. Two members of our family serve the Zhengyi Sect. If you dare to insult us again, please don't say you were unpremeditated."
After saying that, he threw Snape back on his seat.
"I'm sorry, old master, old mistress, little master. Linglong is rude. Linglong's humility is only dedicated to the master."
"Oh, my God, Linglong, you can't do this anymore. You have to remember that you are a housekeeper, not a guard. I will punish you 10 times in the evening."
"I'm sorry, is Mr. Snape okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'm sorry. I forgot that you are not a traditional British wizarding family. You should not bring in our habits." Snape felt bitter and did not dare to say. "Then can you please explain what a secondary technical school is?
"
"That is a type of professional education for flower growers. Because after the process of transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country began, flower growers lacked a large number of secondary professional and technical personnel, and then the admission principles for technical secondary schools were strictly defined, and a large number of outstanding Muggle students
Yuandu studies hard with the goal of entering a technical secondary school. Only the second-tier students will take the higher education examination. After 9 years of compulsory education and 35 years of studying in a technical secondary school, you can directly join the work after graduating at the age of 18 or 20, with good benefits and status.
In the eyes of an ordinary flower grower family, it seems to be very high. As soon as he graduates, he becomes a small leader."
"Isn't this great?"
"Tool man."
"A double waste. But it is undeniable that it is very suitable for their system and the current actual situation."
"Where is this waste?"
"A waste of higher education resources. A waste of excellent students. The future may be sacrificed, but the current ultra-high-speed development is guaranteed."
"Their development speed is really terrifying. In the mid-eighteenth century, due to the gradual maturity of politics, economy and technology, Britain took the lead in an industrial revolution. With the invention of the steam engine and the use of various machines,
During the Victorian period in the mid-19th century, Britain became the most advanced industrial country in the world, ranking first in production and trade. It pursued gunboat policies everywhere, seized maritime hegemony, invaded colonies, and plundered a large amount of other countries' wealth. The British Empire dominated the world.
, the territories it controls overseas cover Europe, Asia, the United States, Africa, and Australia, and is known as the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.'"
"The United States officially became an industrial country in the late 18th, early 19th and 1890s, and it was also inseparable from trade and colonial plunder."
"From 1842 to 1945, flower growers, after a century of humiliation, have been reduced to plunder and colonial objects by Britain, France, Germany, Japan, the United States and other countries. The war of World War II burned across the country, and more than 45 million people died after the war.
The total population of the UK at that time was only 50 million. After the victory of the war, their country was destitute, with no war reparations and no opportunity to plunder others. However, they founded the country in 1949 and proposed industrialization reforms in 1953. To this day, they rely on their own
With blood and sweat, we entered the process of industrialization on the ruins after the war."
"By the way, have you studied them in your Muggle Studies class?" Professor Meryl took a sip of champagne.
