Chapter 7 Dumbledore, you said you're not dry tofu! (Part 1)
"Although I have been engaged in education for more than half a century, I have not had such a profound interpretation of education itself. However, I do feel that Mr. Darhk's educational philosophy is more in line with my own thoughts when I was coaching." Dumbledore sighed with emotion.
.
"Although I admit the mistakes caused by my previous teaching philosophy, I still believe that there is no so-called best method, only the most suitable. It depends more on the students themselves. Those who have relatively poor self-control and poor thinking
Students who are slow and not smart enough must first instill knowledge and standardize management. Even if it is too dogmatic, they only know what it is and don't know why, even if they can only memorize it by rote and cannot learn and apply it at all, for them in the future, they will be more difficult.
In terms of learning, the chance of falling behind will also be greatly reduced. Whether it is an individual or human beings as a whole, it is the lower foundation that determines the superstructure." Meryl said seriously.
"Oh, I think I should organize professors from Hogwarts to come and communicate with you two. I never thought that the Muggle world's understanding of education could be so complex and profound."
"You are very welcome to visit our home or officially organize a trip to the School of Education at the University of York. Similarly, we are also very curious about the way of life in the wizarding world and don't know if there is any way or method to visit Hogwarts.
"
"As the principal of Hogwarts, I also look forward to the two of you coming to our school. However, due to the relevant provisions of the International Wizarding Federation's Secrecy Law, it is not very convenient for you to visit Hogwarts at the moment. Also at the moment
We also cannot visit Muggle universities through official channels."
"Oh, that's such a shame."
"Although the Secrecy Law mainly targets Muggles, I personally feel that it is indeed a bit strict for Muggle families with wizards. However, for the safety of ordinary Muggles and young wizards, this is indeed necessary."
Dumbledore took a sip of tea and continued, "Of course compared to you two, based on the special nature of little Hans's mother's family, I think we can still find a legal access method, but the operation is a bit cumbersome."
"Want to hear the details."
"Due to the domestic situation, the wizarding community of flower growers has been self-isolating since the mid-1960s, cutting off exchanges with the Ministry of Magic in Europe and the United States. However, two years ago, under the leadership of the United States Ministry of Magic at the International Federation of Wizards Conference,
With the proposal of the Federation, the Ministry of Magic of Planting Flowers obtained a legal seat in the Federation and began to actively communicate with the Ministry of Magic of various countries."
"Well, Hans's mother has communicated with us. She said that the magic system in the United States originated from Europe, and the European magic system has also influenced many Asian and African countries due to historical relationships. Only the magic systems of Flower Gardener and Neon can be counted.
They came from the same source and then developed independently. They are very different from Europe and the United States. Simple technical exchanges are extremely difficult due to various differences in culture, language and concepts. Therefore, they have been doing their own thing for centuries, and most of their trade exchanges are
Raw materials and precious metals.”
"Yes, that's right, they are also Asian wizards. Even the neon wizards who are familiar to European and American countries. Every time I see their magic, it feels so novel to me, just like the flying props of wizards in most European and American countries.
They mainly use flying broomsticks, and a few also use flying carpets. Most of the flower gardening wizards fly with their wands. The neon wizards fly wearing a spinning prop called a bamboo dragonfly. I heard that there is a
Neon's Squib is a cartoon based on Neon's magic props. It seems that in the 22nd century, a descendant of a family used time-traveling props to send back an alchemy doll to his ancestors because of a poor family life, hoping to use it through people.
Occasionally, I trained my grandfather to achieve the goal of changing the fate of my family. It seems to be very popular in Muggle circles all over the world."
"Oh, I'm sorry to say it's so far away. It can be said that most European and American wizards have no idea about the Muggles living next door to them, let alone the flower-growing wizards who are so far away in the Far East and often isolate themselves."
"Wait a minute, you're saying that the wizarding world of flower growers is more closed," John suddenly said.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"More closed means more mysterious. Only mystery can fight against mystery." John looked at Dumbledore meaningfully. "I understand that right, Mr. Dumbledore."
"I am amazed by your wisdom. I have never seen a Muggle get to the essence of magic in just a few words."
"John, what do you want to say?" Meryl felt that the knowledge in her mind was like a puzzle. She had just put together the framework, but her husband seemed to have a general picture, but the details were not complete, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Take the liberty to ask Mr. Dumbledore"
"Oh, you don't have to be polite, just call me Albus."
"Okay, Albus. Can you tell us the population of wizards in the UK, the number of students in Hogwarts, the number of freshmen each year, and the number of pure Muggle freshmen? If it's confidential, it doesn't need to be too specific. The approximate size is fine."
"This is not a secret. There should be less than 15,000 wizards in the UK, although the Ministry of Magic does not keep statistics on this. There are only 856 students in Hogwarts this year, 93 are newly admitted, and only one-third are from pure Muggle families.
.”
“So few”
"Well, because Europe just experienced the Wizarding War a few years ago, the number of students in Hogwarts should be around a thousand under normal circumstances. The number of new students every year fluctuates between 120,170, and the number of new students from Muggle families is around 50."
"Oh my God, this is so terrible, I can't even imagine it."
"I don't quite understand, what's so scary about this?" Dumbledore was very confused.
"Do you understand Meryl?"
"I think I understand, John Linglong, can your teleportation magic take Hans back to his grandfather?"
"Do you want me to take the young master to his grandpa's house? It will take several transfers and it will take about a few hours to get to the flower grower's house. Moreover, this is smuggling the old mistress. Linglong does not recommend this."
"No, I don't want you to send it, I just want to understand the situation. It seems that the situation in the wizarding world is very stable at present, but once there is a tendency of war with the flower-growing wizarding community, I think you should send Hans back to his grandfather's house immediately.
"
"Yes, opportunities and crises coexist. If there are signs of a crisis, only flower growers are the safest. Don't worry about the bullshit laws, Hans is the most important. When opportunities come, we fight for little Hans, and he will enjoy his achievements."
"I don't quite understand." Dumbledore was confused.
"Let me explain it to you first, Albus. I wonder if you have any knowledge and understanding of sociology and its branch, demography."
"Oh, Muggle knowledge is far away from us, and I haven't paid much attention to it."
"In mathematics, you should have a complete understanding of multiplication, division, and proportions."
"Oh, that's totally fine."
"Okay, then I will explain it briefly. The purpose is to let you understand that the theory is not too difficult, but without high-level numerical modeling, the data results based on the theory may not be particularly accurate. First of all, according to the British government report, in the past two years,
The population statistics are about 5620, and the annual population increase and death may only be about 10. And the population of flower growers this year has exceeded 10e. Calculate according to the conventional data you mentioned, round off zeros, and estimate as much as possible for the UK
The number of little wizards born in Muggle families, 50 are born in a population of 5,000. How many wizards born in Muggle families are born in a flower garden every year?
A little wizard. The number of newborns in flower growers has exceeded 1,500 in recent years, and the increase is more than 50 every year. Even if calculated based on 1,500, it is 7,500. Although this calculation may have a huge deviation, can you understand what I say?
think"
"Merlin's beard! Every two years, the number of wizards born in Muggle families exceeds the total number of British wizards." Dumbledore was stunned. "I think we can pause the explanation first and wait until I call a few people to listen to your explanation. I think
You are absolutely right about dangers and opportunities. If you don’t treat the flower-growing wizarding world with caution, it may indeed lead to war.”
