Chapter 561 Parents at a loss (please vote and subscribe)
The reason why the school in Liuyang County was built so big is mainly because there are many permanent residents here. The total population of several towns in Liuyang County, plus the nearby villages, is more than 20,000, and it will definitely continue to develop and expand in the future, so it is no problem to expand the foundation first, so as to avoid the trouble of expansion in the future.
The other counties are newly established counties, and the people have not yet completely stabilized. It is impossible for them to send their children to school now. Besides, the schools in those places have not been built yet, and Luo Chong does not have so many teachers, so we can only talk about it later.
Therefore, in the first school year of the Han tribe, Luo Chong planned to recruit at least 6,000 new students in the three counties on both sides, 2,500 in Hanyang City and 3,500 in Liuyang County. They have a large population base and can recruit so many students.
In addition, considering the teaching staff, Luo Chong can only hire 100 teachers at most. If each teacher is responsible for one class with 60 students, he can manage 6,000 students. No matter how many more teachers he recruits, there will be no extra teachers.
In addition, regarding the rapid training of teachers, Luo Chong also borrowed the modern model. The main subjects of the Han tribe are two categories, Chinese and mathematics, so the teaching can be classified according to the teacher's expertise. You know, this knowledge can only be learned by the teacher before it can be taught to students, so the pressure on the teacher is greater.
However, in order to alleviate these pressures, Luo Chong adopted the modern specialized education model, which means that teachers are divided by subject, not by class. Teachers who like and are good at mathematics can only study mathematics and do not need to waste time on memorizing Chinese books. As long as he can read, he can only teach mathematics after he has learned it, and he does not need to worry about anything else. The same applies to Chinese teachers.
Teachers trained in this way can be responsible for at least two classes when they teach.
For example, Mr. Hu teaches Chinese, but he doesn't know math, and he can't even memorize the multiplication formula. Mr. Zhu teaches math, but he can't write articles. The two of them can work as partners and teach Class 1 and Class 2 at the same time. One teaches Chinese to both classes, and the other teaches math. The two of them are the head teachers of the two classes, responsible for student management.
Of course, modern teachers also teach in this way, but they also need to pay attention to all-round development. However, this method is also a rapid training method under the emergency mechanism, which can train qualified teachers in the shortest time.
In addition, Luo Chong has other ways to train them and familiarize them with the classroom system. He himself has no time to manage them, but he can let those teachers manage themselves, just like letting students elect class leaders and then use students to manage students. As long as the method is correct, people are the easiest animals to manage because they can manage themselves.
When I came to the top floor of Building No. 2, there were people in the six classrooms. One side was full of math teachers, and the other side was full of Chinese teachers. In these classrooms, there were people lecturing in the front and people listening below.
Luo Chong stood outside the door and listened for a while. A math teacher was drawing geometric figures with chalk and ruler on the podium, and then wrote the corresponding calculation formulas next to them. Then he began to explain the examples in the textbook. After he finished, he started to write questions on the blackboard for the students below to do, and then picked out the mistakes and key points that are easy to make mistakes and explained them in detail. Finally, he raised his hand to ask questions, and the students below also raised their hands to answer.
After the question was finished, the teacher in front immediately sat down in the seat of the students below, and then another student came out to the front to be a teacher and began to explain the new exercises.
Yes, these students are teachers, but these teachers are also students. They must take turns to teach in front, and no one can fall behind. On the one hand, it is to train their explanation ability, and on the other hand, it is to train the skills of using blackboard writing and teaching tools, as well as to familiarize themselves with the class process and teaching atmosphere in advance.
These are all very important and determine whether they can officially take up their posts in the future. Don't let them learn well, but when they come to class, they see dozens of children staring at them and are so nervous that they can't speak. That would be a disaster, so it is very necessary to familiarize themselves in advance.
The math teacher explained it very well, and the Chinese teacher explained it even better, because Luo Chong had taught them that way before. They just had to follow the way Luo Chong had taught them before. As for the Hanli textbook, it mainly teaches etiquette systems, as well as the corresponding etiquette systems for each level and various sacrifices. Only by promoting this kind of "rules" can Luo Chong control the Han tribe more effectively. Otherwise, when the population grows, sooner or later there will be chaos.
In addition, Luo Chong has always been doing the same thing as Chinese culture, that is, not defining the Han nationality by race or clan, but by living habits and culture. In the short term, this will help the continued expansion of the Han tribe and the unity of the people.
Because there are only a few native people of the Han tribe, and most of them are absorbed in the form of clans, but can you say that those who joined later are not of the same clan? Of course not, this is not conducive to unity.
So as long as they wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and live the same way as others, they are of the same ethnic group. The Han tribe does not distinguish whether they are of the same ethnic group by surnames and races. Even if they are not of the same ethnic group and cannot speak Chinese, as long as they are taught, they are still of the same ethnic group.
It is for this reason that although the regimes controlled by the Han people have been repeatedly overthrown in history, China has been called China for thousands of years, and the concept of defining the country by culture is the top priority.
After checking the books and the preparations of the teachers, and seeing that everything was being prepared in an orderly manner, Luo Chong left the school with confidence, turned around and went to the government office building next to the teaching building, and then called the officials in charge to a meeting to assign them this year's enrollment tasks.
Compulsory education and compulsory enrollment: all residents of Hanyang City and Ruyang City (Liuyang County is issued separately) whose children are over seven years old and under adulthood (13 years old) must go to school. If there are special circumstances, they should be reported to local government offices in a timely manner. Parents of all students should actively cooperate and prepare appropriate learning tools and learning environment for their students. They should report to the school at the end of the first month of autumn, which is August 28 this year, to be divided into classes, receive books, and other matters.
There is no need to pay tuition and book fees for enrollment. You only need to prepare stationery and school bags by yourself. Stationery is sold at school. Students must dress neatly, with long-sleeved tops, long pants, socks, shoes or boots, and a container for drinking water.
Parents who do not allow their children to go to school without reason are guilty and will be fined 500 yuan and sentenced to two months of hard labor.
On August 2, the same official document appeared in Hanyang City, Ruyang City, and Liuyang County at the same time. The same notice was posted at the school gate, inside and outside the city gate, at the gate of the government office, at the intersection of the downtown, and next to the well. There were also clerks or recruited idlers explaining the contents of the official document to passers-by.
When the news came out, most of the Han tribe was in an uproar. This was big news. Within a day, all the residents in the city knew about it. Everyone talked about it and discussed it together. No one knew whether it was good news or bad news.
"Go to school? What does going to school mean? Do we have to recruit such young children to work? What can they do? Why do we have to prepare so many things?"
Some confused farmers thought that the government was recruiting laborers to work again, but what did it mean to recruit children specifically this time? They had never heard of it. Besides, children can't move anything. Those heavy work can only be done by adults.
"It's not working. Going to school means going to school to attend classes and learn to read and write. Do you understand?" A clerk in black stood next to the bulletin board and explained to the people around him.
"Oh-"
The farmer who had just spoken said "oh" as if he understood, but he still didn't quite understand.
"Do all the children have to go to this school? Where do they go? Is it far?" Someone in the crowd asked again.
"Yes, all the families, as long as the children meet the age requirements, regardless of gender, must go to school. If anyone does not let their children go to school, the parents of the children will be guilty and will be fined a lot of money, and they will also have to do two months of free labor for the government.
The place to go to school is the school. There is a large tall building over there in our county government office. That is the school. The children who go to school can go home every day and then go to school every morning." The clerk explained to the crowd again.
But now is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the last season of the year when the harvested corn is not yet dried and threshed, and the newly planted corn has just sprouted. Many of the tasks of rubbing corn at home can be done by older children aged 11 or 12. Younger children aged 8 or 9 can also help feed chickens, herd sheep, make fire, and cut grass for pigs. Therefore, many people actually don’t want their children to go to school, and don’t know what the use of going to school is. Wouldn’t it delay their own work?
So some people turned their brains and immediately came up with an idea to get away with it and hide their children.
"Sir, our child burned his foot a few days ago, and now he can't walk. Does he have to stop going to school?"
"Oh? Burned his foot? That's easy. Take your household registration and take the child to the government office to get a certificate. Just hand in the certificate when he enters school.
But if you concealed the truth, or there was no injury, you will be treated as disobeying the imperial order and preventing the child from going to school without reason. You will be fined 500 yuan, and the couple will have to do two months of labor for the government. Think about it yourself."
During the meeting, the clerk listened to the leader's special introduction of possible situations, and also told them that someone might find excuses not to cooperate. He had memorized all kinds of situations by heart, and with so much experience in handling things, he could tell at a glance that the man might be lying, so he warned them threateningly, hoping that they would not make mistakes.
"Ah?! We still have to go to the government office to get a certificate?!"
The guy who was just trying to be smart and trying to hide the truth was immediately stunned. He didn't expect that he would have to be treated like this.
"What do you think? Of course you have to get a certificate. Why, do you still want to go? You have to think it over." The clerk stared at him coldly and said.
"Oh, this, that, I won't get a certificate. He got a perm a few days ago. I estimate that it should be completely healed by the end of this month. Then I will definitely send him to school." The guy who lied just now saw that he could no longer hide it. If he made a big fuss, people might come to his house to check again. At that time, he would definitely be sentenced to deliberately preventing the child from going to school, with fines and labor. That would be too worthless, so he hurriedly found excuses to cover it up.
When the clerk saw him like this, he just glanced at him and didn't expose him on the spot. After all, if he told the truth, he would not look at the face of both sides. Apart from fining him some money, he really couldn't do anything to him.
And those who also wanted to find excuses not to go to school immediately gave up the idea when they heard that they had to go to the government office to get a certificate. At this time, the clerk who was surrounded spoke again.
"I'm telling you, this schooling is not for the tribe, nor for the government, but for your own children. Going to school will help them learn to read and write, and learn arithmetic. Even if you don't become a clerk like me after graduation, you can become a good craftsman, which is better than farming. Good students can even get titles and other rewards, so you don't have to worry about your children going to school. Besides
, even if you don't become an official or a craftsman, you can become a peddler or go to the street to buy things in the future. If you learn arithmetic, it will be easier for you to calculate, so you won't be cheated by others without knowing what happened." The clerk persuaded the crowd again.
When the crowd heard that there were so many benefits to going to school, some people began to change their minds and thought about how to support their children to go to school in the future.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked again.
"Sir, how long will this school last?"
"I can't say for sure, maybe two or three years."
"Ah? That long!!!"
"Listen to me, it will take two or three years, that's the minimum time, but your children can go home every day, and they will have two days off every five days, and they will have a long vacation for several months in a row when it's the hottest in summer and the coldest in winter, so you don't have to worry about so many things."
Everyone was relieved when they heard the clerk say this, so that when they have a vacation, their children can go home and help with some work.
After confirming that their children must go, then the next step is to prepare things for them, especially the clothes mentioned above. Many children don't wear any clothes at home in summer. Such a young child can get by with a pair of shorts, a vest, or something like that for the whole summer, and doesn't even wear shoes. Now the announcement requires that they must dress neatly, so they have to prepare well. Fortunately, there is still a month, and even if they tear up the cloth now, it will be too late. By the end of the month when the child goes to school, he will definitely be able to wear qualified new clothes to go to school.
There are also drinking water containers, such as bamboo tubes and pottery jars. Each family does their best. Some people see business opportunities and make bamboo tube kettles to sell in various places. As a result, the sales are really good. It is because of the school, it is not convenient to carry cups and bowls, and the pottery jar is too heavy. The light natural material of bamboo tubes is very suitable, and it is not easy to break.
