Chapter 1216 Private School(1/2)
What Wu Funing recommended this time is a private school located in Dalian, which takes care of the entire process from junior high school to high school.
Hongli Academy is actually a private middle school with aristocratic nature. Those who can enter here are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are only a small number of places to be recruited every year.
Before coming, Wu Funing had observed the school up close.
The name of the school is Hongli Academy, which follows the name of an ancient private school, and the teaching method is very similar to that of a private school run by aristocratic families in ancient China.
In addition to cultural courses, it also includes etiquette, music, painting and other hobbies courses, and even specialized martial arts teachers who teach swordsmanship, boxing and other knowledge.
Just as the ancient nobles and wealthy families cultivated their children, they paid attention to both cultural cultivation, physical fitness and high spirits.
The soft nobles and literati will only be advocated under the centralized system, because those in power do not want to see lions, and only lambs are conducive to oppression and rule.
However, Hongli Academy is different. This kind of school with aristocratic private school nature has no difference in general knowledge courses from public schools, and the classification method also adopts primary, junior or high schools that are uniformly stipulated by the state.
However, in the specific educational model, things outside the basic courses are the key point. After all, knowledge is only one of the skills of a person. The skills of dealing with people, artistic cultivation, and even physical and mental strength can better reflect a person's temperament.
As for the education system, the current Chinese Federation is also very distinctive.
First of all, public schools are open to ordinary people. The ranking is mainly based on grades, and the admission of public universities is mostly based on grades, so many people from ordinary people can only squeeze into this single-plank bridge.
However, in private schools, grades are only one factor, and because students in private schools do not have to rely on this to find a way out, they are relatively free and relaxed in education.
Many big families are no longer superficial nouveau riche. In addition to achievements, achievements in other fields can better demonstrate the family's heritage and temperament, such as art and martial arts.
Facts have also proved that not many students who have made a fortune through exams in public schools end up achieving success. Putting aside the reasons for family background and background, it is probably related to their own cultivation and mentality.
Without the bargaining of driving a duck to the shelves, planning your life freely and calmly, with thinking and decisions, of course, the possibility of success is greater.
But how can ordinary people have such treatment and capital?
So, when Wu Funing told Zhao Mingjuan that she recommended Lian Feiyi to attend Hongli Academy, she was moved.
Hongli Academy includes junior and high school courses, and has recommended places from many well-known universities, so you can directly receive admission.
Of course, the universities in the China Federation are not the kind of universities that are later generations. It is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and whether you can graduate is your own problem.
It is quite difficult to buy a diploma with money, and if you know it, it will only become a laughing stock in the upper class.
Hongli Academy is located in the Lotus Community at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Because it is close to you, Zhao Mingjuan has visited it. The teaching building there is not beautiful, but it is brand new.
Moreover, whenever the school is over, all kinds of white high-end minibuses are lined up inside the school, which is completely prepared to be sent to all parts of Dalian. Moreover, the school also hires special security companies, and there are five security guards at the entrance of the school alone, which is double-digit.
This is how private schools are. Because the students recruited have special backgrounds, they attach great importance to the safety of the school.
In Dalian, Hongli Academy is a very distinctive school. Ancient Chinese teaching is a major strength here. Cultivating students who read ancient classics is an important goal.
Although ordinary public schools also offer ancient Chinese teaching courses, they are only classified as "Chinese" courses as an optional branch.
In fact, many private aristocratic schools attach great importance to cultural heritage and list ancient Chinese as an important subject. Of course, this is also related to the fact that many famous private schools are held by the ancient Chinese Association.
The school has various beautiful hardware facilities, so Zhao Mingjuan is certainly not qualified to enter, so she has never seen it before, but Wu Funing can indeed enter, and before he came here, he went to inspect it.
In Hongli Academy, there are two very huge activity rooms, an indoor football field, and two very rich pictures for students here to borrow.
In addition to these, of course, there is also a comprehensive garden for leisure.
Moreover, the school’s teaching soft power should be very strong. High teaching quality has a lot to do with elite teaching. The important indicator that determines the degree of elite teaching is the size of the classroom.
If you look closely, the biggest difference from ordinary public schools is that the teaching classes at Hongli Academy are very small in scale, and there are estimated that there are only 1,020 students in each class.
Wu Funing once saw that there were only four tables in the first grade of junior high school classroom, and there were probably only 15 students in it.
Ancient Chinese education was first seen in ancient Chinese literature, "to gain talents from all over the world and educate them."
Explain "teaching means what the superiors do and what the inferiors do"; "cultivating means raising children to do good", education means education and cultivation. It is the primary means of human culture dissemination and lays the foundation for the success of Chinese education.
Speaking of private schools, that is, private schools in ancient times, mainly originated in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a period of historical transformation in the transition from slavery to feudal system. Education also underwent drastic changes with the changes in economy and politics, that is, from "learning in government offices" to "learning in the four barbarians".
Private schools came into being under this historical condition. Because the people in the scholar class serve the interests of that class, and their teachings and inheritance systems are also different, there were situations where various schools of thought were contending with the scholars.
Confucianism represented by Confucius attaches importance to education. The Six Classics are textbooks; poetry—literature courses, books—political courses, Yi—mathematics courses, rituals—moral and ethics courses, music—music art aesthetic courses, spring and autumn—historical courses.
Hongli Academy has basically inherited these, but it has also added courses such as gun use and martial arts education to meet the needs of today's era.
But to be honest, centralized governments generally oppose the popularization of martial arts, believing that this is not conducive to social security.
Although this is the case, it always feels like he is slapping off his food because of choking. However, in this time and space, the Chinese Federation is similar and he is not willing to popularize martial arts education on a large scale.
However, after striving for the ancient Chinese, it was approved and allowed to offer relevant courses among private schools. However, there were still no public schools. The countless declines were not so much the prevalence of guns and cannons, but rather the deliberate suppression of the government.
Confucius was unwilling to talk about the strange powers and chaos, so he rarely talked about religious content. In this regard, the private schools opened by the ancient Chinese Society are similar. Except for some special metaphysical research institutions, similar schools are basically not opened among the people.
However, unlike Confucianism that only emphasizes the cultivation of mind and morality, modern private schools have added a large number of knowledge courses. After all, material is the basis of everything. However, treating this as the only one will fall into the shallowness, making the next generation eager for quick success and instant benefits and not understand the worldly ways.
Speaking of private learning, the model basically inherits the Confucian education model established by Confucius at that time. Confucius has a serious attitude towards teaching and "never tire of learning and teaching people without writing" throughout his life. He also created a set of teaching methods that teach students according to their aptitude centered on cultivating consciousness.
For example, pay attention to personality differences, be good at inspiration and inducement, combine learning with thinking, combine learning with action, etc.
Therefore, the long time for running private school education, the concentration of energy for private school activities, and the rich experience of private school education, and the profound impact on future generations are beyond the reach of private schools of any other school.
Although it is modeled on the ancient private education model, after all, the times are different, and people's vision and current affairs have changed. The ancient Chinese Society does not blindly imitate the ancient times. It also creates its own education system.
After all, going back to the pre-Qin period, Confucius was only one of the sects, and Confucianism was not used as a tool for governing the country. With the changes in the social situation at that time, Emperor Wu of Han adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion and implemented the cultural and educational policy of "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone". Confucianism was designated as a honor by feudal emperors and became an important social ruling resource.
The private school, which takes it as its mission to convey Confucian culture, has since gained a foothold in society, and has continued despite the wars.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emergence of the imperial examination system promoted the development of private schools. At that time, the imperial examinations were mainly based on the Confucian classic "Five Classics".
The focus of the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was tilted towards the "Four Books", and the "Four Books" also belonged to the scope of Confucian classics. In addition, Neo-Confucian scholars of the Song and Ming dynasties focused on ethical education for children, formulated township rules and regulations, and promoted social education activities.
The rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming dynasties promoted the prosperity of ritual schools. Emperors of all dynasties regarded educating children as their own responsibility, and only promoted and guided primary schools. The government never interfered in the operation of private schools, allowing private schools to develop freely among the people.
The inheritance of Chinese traditional culture has not been interrupted, and it has played a role as a strong culture for a long time. The political and economic foundation of private school education has rarely changed in ancient times. Various factors have determined that the appearance of private school running in ancient times has not changed much.
,, written in different dynasties, they gradually gained social recognition during their circulation and became the most common children's literacy books in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
, which belongs to classic reading materials, at this time, has become part of the elementary school textbook. Private schools have always implemented individual teaching, and tutors arrange their studies based on the learning foundation and acceptance ability of different people, reflecting the principle of teaching according to their aptitude.
Private schools have very high requirements for students to endorse students, and reading is the main activity of private schools. In the Qing Dynasty, the famous Zongwenyi School in Hangzhou City required students to follow the rules: "Read students' books every day and read them aloud a hundred times."
Private schools have made contributions to the transmission of culture and the cultivation of talents in ancient times, which adapted to the needs of ancient society. However, in modern times, the requirements of private schools and social development have become distant, so private schools have been questioned by society.
People who advocate new education accused private schools of not offering arithmetic, history, geography, and style. The knowledge coverage is too narrow and the textbook remains unchanged for a long time. The problem of knowledge aging is serious.
Obviously, this kind of gun shows that China cannot but develop new modern education.
However, many people have controversial about what modern education is.
Due to the problems of resources and government intentions, public schools completely abandoned the ancient private school model and adopted standardized "mass production" to give birth to a new generation of educated citizens.
Private schools are educational institutions that carry forward the past and the future, and are targeted at elite education.
However, the cost is naturally not something that ordinary people can afford. And many times, even if you have money, you may not be able to go in and study.
And now, Lian Feiyi has got such an opportunity because of his brother.
Zhao Mingjuan didn't think about it for too long and agreed to this choice. Although she was a young woman from a farmer, she also knew the importance of education.
What's more to think about is her son's future?
Since ancient times, Chinese farmers have been looking forward to studying but not getting it. They have no more respect for knowledge. How many people say that their children should not go to study and go home to help with work?
It is estimated that only those countries and times that intellectuals defeat and trampled on their feet will make such jokes.
The transfer procedures were completed soon, and Zhao Mingjuan even ignored Lian Feiyi's objection. After all, she was just a child. Compared to her future, she was more attractive to her by her familiar environment and classmates.
Gorgeous and grandeur are Lian Feiyi's first impression of this private school called Hongli Academy.
Previously, Lian Feiyi only lived in a well-off family, and this was something that had only happened in recent years. If his brother Lian Jingqiu had not joined the Kuishui Club, the family would have to rely on government relief to the country.
Before, Lian Feiyi and his brother Lian Jingqiu were only studying in ordinary public schools.
After Wu Funing's introduction, Zheng Yuanyu is the largest school director in this aristocratic school called Hongli Academy except the ancient Chinese Association. In addition to the ancient Chinese Association, there are other investors who can become school directors and gain some privileges if the investment accounts for a certain proportion.
Of course, these privileges cannot interfere with teaching work.
Hongli Academy is a comprehensive college. From junior high school to high school, you can directly upgrade without any other entrance exams.
But, naturally, the school has high enrollment fees and has a fixed quota every year. It is simply a private school jointly established by a powerful and wealthy family to cultivate their second and third generation heirs.
However, the largest investor is the Ancient Chinese Society, and the actual manager is also the Ancient Chinese Society. Although others have influence on this school, they are not absolute.
Hongli Academy recruits several special assistant students with excellent character and academic performance every year. This is mainly to drive the learning motivation of other students.
However, these special assistants with vacancies are not necessarily those from poor families, but also students from well-off families like Lian Feiyi join.
However, the cost of Hongli Academy is too high, so if Lian Feiyi wants to study here, he must go to school through a special assistance method. In other words, the tuition fee still has to be paid, and there is no discount.
However, these tuition fees will be paid by Kyushui Club.
Don’t take it for granted and think that aristocratic schools are a cash-money nest for social parasites. It should be noted that every year, Hongli Academy will send a large number of elites from all walks of life to civil society.
Although Hongli Academy's admissions are automatically improved and has nothing to do with grades, graduation does require strength.
The strict graduation examination and the usual subject points system can even be compared with the examinations and reviews of some first-class universities at home and abroad. This is to prevent the children of powerful people from becoming playboys.
Lian Feiyi put on the exquisite school uniform sent by Wu Funing.
He thought to himself that it is indeed a noble school, and even the school uniforms are so gorgeous.
When worn on the body, you can feel the soft fabric and delicate tailoring. In addition, each set has a dedicated tailor tailor for students, which is very decent to wear.
