Chapter 215: The Emenas Scroll

Central School Building, Brownstone Building, third floor, Club Activity Room.

The sound of raindrops hit the windowsill, soaking the grayish-white stone surface and turning it into a dark brown.

After hearing the sound of rain, Loran Hill stood up and walked to the windowsill, closed the glass window, and fine raindrops fell on the glass, connecting the water droplets together, and then flowing down. Occasionally, bursts of thunder were heard in the distance, which was not scary at all. Instead, it made people feel quiet and peaceful.

Two weeks have passed since the establishment of the club, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to getting together here whenever they have time.

There were no classes this afternoon, so several young girls were sitting in the activity room. Ye Ling dozed off on the sofa, hugging a pillow. Kafla sat at the long table, writing something, occasionally pausing to think. Roland Hill was organizing and sorting things at a separate desk against the wall. The bookcase next to her was also filled with various books.

In the kitchen to one side, the occasional faint crackle of burning wood could be heard. Bumansha was inside, slicing a few pieces of honeydew melon and baking some pastries. She didn't chop quickly, the sound of the knife falling seemed to follow the rhythm of music. Because she didn't need to rush, the process of chopping vegetables gave her a subtle sense of pleasure.

Peel off the textured skin to reveal the fresh flesh within, resembling jade. The color is darker near the skin, lighter inside. Remove the orange seeds, rinse thoroughly, and then cut into small pieces about the thickness of an index finger. Arrange neatly on a plate.

"The fruit is cut up, would you like to have some?"

Bumansa came out with a plate, and her gentle voice rang out in the activity room.

Ye Ling was still sleeping. Kafla looked up and said thank you.

Putting the plate on the long table, Bumansha walked behind Luo Lanxier and watched her carefully write down various matters. She tried to explain some methods and reasons in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"Is this what Luo Lan summarized for everyone?"

"Well, it's almost done. I'll give everyone one then. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Loran Hill said an Eastern proverb.

During this period of time, she kept recalling her experiences in high school, and then slowly tried and reproduced some methods, and compared them to see if they were effective.

“Systematic induction, memory curve, retrospective thinking…”

"I didn't expect that there are so many tricks to studying." Bumansha sighed slightly. She had never thought so much about it before. She just followed whatever the teacher taught. But even so, she could still get top grades in the class in academic subjects.

"Loran should be the kind of person who can learn things at a glance. I see that you spend very little time on your studies and basically complete everything in class."

"But you are obviously very talented, so why are you so proficient in such clumsy learning ideas and techniques? And you list them in such detail, almost even writing down what should be done every minute." Bumansha was a little curious.

Loran Hill put down his pen and looked out the window beside the table.

"I wasn't always this smart," she said with a nostalgic tone.

"There were hard times before, too." Yes, high school was the most fulfilling time of my life. After more than thirty years of the hell of internal competition, my previous life's secondary school education was a miracle.

Every year, we constantly innovate, summarize, and improve. Every year, every month, and even every day, teachers, parents, and schools are thinking about how to improve students' academic performance.

As soon as one school achieves remarkable results, other schools will quickly follow suit. The models and philosophies of schools like Gang Mi Juan, Shui Middle School, and Factory Middle School are emulated by countless schools and teachers. As long as a method is proven to be effective, no matter how bizarre or harsh, it will be immediately adopted.

Although this process is somewhat imperfect, even uncomfortable, and unpopular, it is undeniable that in terms of knowledge education at the middle school level, Chinese people are truly the best in the world, greatly popularizing and improving overall scientific literacy.

As long as the student keeps up with the pace, by the time they reach their senior year, they will be at the peak of their life, knowledgeable about astronomy and the movement of celestial bodies, geography and world trends, and well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge, literature, arithmetic, mechanics, biology, and so on. A student at this peak of their abilities would instantly become a polymath in ancient times. Given a few more years to put their knowledge into practice, they would soon be driving history forward in giant strides.

Unfortunately, to corrupt such a top talent, it only takes a mobile phone and two or three months.

Although there are disadvantages to exam-oriented education, it also has advantages that are definitely worth learning and retaining. These good ways of thinking and learning methods will even accompany many people throughout their lives and benefit them endlessly.

But after all, it is not that era and environment anymore, so it certainly cannot be copied completely. Loran Hill has been practicing and improving these things these days.

While these were simple, basic habits and methods, they had proven effective after decades of practice by countless generations of students. Compared to the crude learning methods of Ivar's world, they were like the difference between a cannon and a slingshot.

After all, in today's world, there are very few children who can go to school. In addition, information is closed and there is a lack of communication. Many teachers themselves are not very good at teaching and they just teach casually. Students have different talents and understandings, so it is extremely easy for them to go astray.

After these days of observation, Loran Hill realized that most people still adopted the same rote memorization method of gulping down the whole thing. The lack of a focus meant that everything was important, and the lack of summary and conclusion meant a lack of system, making it easy to miss and forget.
