If an ordinary tenant farmer wants to save dozens of yuan, he can't do it in less than three to five years, and the money is only enough to pay for one application. If you pay a little attention to the masters of the Republic of China, you will find that most of them
If you come from a wealthy family, even if you are a little poor, you can still afford the registration fee.
Moreover, they all have relatives, teacher-student relationships, and even father, son, and brothers are cultural celebrities. This does not mean how good their genetics are or how good their family education is. But the natural threshold automatically isolates children from poor families.
Outside the school gate, they are not even qualified to register.
In later generations, many people lamented that the starting line was different and complained about unfair education. However, in the Republic of China era when so-called masters emerged in large numbers, the vast majority of people were not qualified to enter the competition. There was no starting line at all. Children from poor families were trapped by a glass ceiling.
Completely isolated from the outside of the school.
In fact, this situation reminds Zhang Tinglan of India in later generations, with a population of 100 million and a billion livestock! The Brahmin Kshatriyas monopolized education, controlled the upper class, and lived a life comparable to Europe and the United States, while the people at the bottom had no means of livelihood. In fact, it was very similar to the situation in the Republic of China.
, but the Republic of China had frequent wars, which made it even more unbearable.
When Zhang Tinglan posed this question, Zhang Boling's face became a little abnormal. He glanced at Zhang Tinglan and then said: "You must be Mr. Zhang Tinglan. The last time he scolded Yang Shuqing, he became famous in Beijing. I think you are the only one who is so sharp.
What a brilliant word!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, I just want to know that the government's money is collected from the people and then allocated to the schools. As a result, the money can only be enjoyed by the children of the rich, and the children of the poor cannot even touch the school door.
Is this situation fair?"
"The country's financial resources are limited, so there is nothing we can do to focus this money on outstanding students. Turn them into pillars and let them save the fate of the country." Zhang Boling said earnestly, which seemed to make sense.
However, as soon as he said these words, Zhang Xueliang, who was watching behind the crowd, felt a thump in his heart. During his speech, Mr. Zhang also shouted loudly that everyone should become a self-reliant person and shoulder the responsibility of saving lives.
How come the mission of the country has suddenly become to educate the rich and abandon the majority of the poor!
Compared to Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi was older and more mature. When she heard it, she also felt a little strange, but she still told herself that this was just a temporary measure, and the idol would not be so miserable.
"Mr. Zhang, you seem to be substituting others." Yang Yuting on the side suddenly said: "Children from rich families and outstanding students cannot be confused. There are also many talented people from poor families, and using wealth and poverty to distinguish outstanding students is too arbitrary, sir.
!”
When Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan were chatting, they also mentioned the issue of education. However, as soon as they heard Zhang Boling's words today, Yang Yuting couldn't help but interrupt. Aren't these scholars usually preaching that everyone is equal? Why did they forget about it at the critical moment?
On one side.
Zhang Boling had dealt with many high-ranking officials in the Beiyang government. No matter what he said, others would only listen attentively and did not dare to refute. But in this small Fengtian, the situation changed, and Zhang Boling couldn't help but feel in his heart.
Think about countermeasures.
"Of course we can't lump them together, but children from rich families have a broad vision, know a lot, and understand a lot, so it's easier to train them. And it doesn't mean that the poor are completely excluded. As long as they are good enough, they can also be admitted, and the school should also provide
scholarship."
"In my eyes, there is no such thing as good or bad talent." Zhang Tinglan took over the topic: "I only have two criteria for evaluating a person: usefulness and uselessness. A person is useful if he can promote the development of the country's industry.
People who strengthen the country's scientific research strength. As for those children from rich families who have no worries about food and clothing, after graduation, are they willing to go to factories and workshops? Are they willing to go to the fields? Are they willing to suffer in the army? I think most of them are not willing, they will definitely
They can engage in some noble professions, sing about the wind and moon, write articles, and engage in cultural research. These people are what I think are useless people. The country's precious educational resources cannot be wasted on them."
Zhang Tinglan continued: "As for the so-called scholarship, it is a trick to hide people's eyes. There are more than 90% poor people in this country, and after school, more than 90% are children of the rich. This scholarship is so pitiful!"
Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Zuolin, who had been silent all this time, glanced at each other. Both of them were very smart people. They quickly understood Zhang Tinglan's thoughts and at the same time lost their superstition towards Zhang Boling.
When Lao Zhang wants to run education, he also wants to cultivate a group of useful talents, those who understand military affairs, economics, science and engineering, and agriculture. In short, there is no need for people who can only write articles.
Zhang Boling's face became more and more gloomy. He thought that when he arrived at the Commander's Mansion today, he would talk eloquently, and then Zhang Zuolin would be sincerely impressed and even provide some education funds. However, the actual situation turned out to be different. Today was more like a Hongmen Banquet.
He tried his best to calm down his mood, and then said: "This statement is a bit extreme. In our era, we also need someone to awaken the people and write articles. And when I run the school, I also advocate the common development of many aspects and the need to learn Western scientific knowledge."
Zhang Boling's schooling philosophy was considered very advanced in the Republic of China, but Zhang Tinglan also clearly saw that he still did not see the essence of education, or that the interest class he belonged to decided that he would never touch it.
"China is now poor and weak, and the survival of the nation hangs on a thread. It is like a hungry and thirsty person who is about to die. Cultivating great scholars who write articles and play with culture is like this hungry and thirsty person.
He sold his last bit of savings and bought back a fur coat. It looked good, but it would only make him die faster. Mr. Zhang advocated cultivating talents with all-round development of morality, intelligence and body, which is naturally an improvement, but
Your progress is like buying a full banquet instead of leather clothes. After eating, you will still starve to death!"
When Zhang Tinglan said this, Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but smile and said: "For this person, the most realistic thing is to buy a bunch of cornbread, which is not delicious, but it can carry the hunger. So we should do the same in education, and we don't have to pursue
Instead, we should calm down and cultivate a group of skilled workers who can work hard, a group of ordinary teachers, and a group of practical talents in medicine, law, and business."
Wang Yongjiang is responsible for the civil affairs work in Fengtian. His words have set the general direction of Fengtian education, and even Lao Zhang cannot refute it.
Zhang Tinglan was also relieved. Historically, Zhang Zuolin was very careful in running education. Forty percent of the local finance was invested in the education field. It can be said that he tried his best, but still did not really make the Fengcian system strong. In Zhang Tinglan's view,
If most of the funds can be used to combat illiteracy, vigorously open technical schools, and build up our own workforce, it may be able to play a better role.
Zhang Boling tried his best to maintain peace, but there were constant waves in his heart. He could no longer accept questions passively and calmly, but had to take the initiative to find the other party's loopholes.
"Since I think Mr. Zhang's concept is wrong, I would like to ask, does the Fengtian government have the financial resources to provide twenty or thirty yuan to all young people? Can Fengtian guarantee that everyone will enroll in school?"
"We don't have to be so wasteful. The power of enrolling students in middle schools and universities cannot be handed over to schools, but must be taken back by the government. We set up test centers in each county and larger villages and towns. Students can take the exam nearby and then be admitted uniformly based on their scores."
"Absurd!" Zhang Boling finally couldn't hold it anymore: "If you do this, where is the independence of education and where is the value of universities? Every school has a different way of cultivating talents. Therefore, it is necessary to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Universities even have the power to control
None, who would dare to accept such a student?"
"I did not say that universities should not be given the power to choose, but any power must be limited. After the government unified recruitment, after students have obtained the qualifications for admission, universities can conduct another entrance examination to finalize the admissions."
"Isn't this unnecessary? There are so many knowledgeable and insightful teachers teaching in the university. Can't we guarantee fairness?"
"Of course not. In recent years, haven't there been zero-point admissions to some universities? How many people with serious partial subjects have been admitted to universities. What is the reason? Everyone has an account in their mind, no matter how nice it is.
, how many of these professors are not selfish, education must not become a private toy of scholars and professors!"
Zhang Boling's face was livid, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhang Tinglan's views, but he couldn't find any objection. Besides, this was his home field, so he could only say angrily: "Are those private schools also subject to control?"
“Since we want to ensure fairness, we must treat everyone equally.”
"You are doing nothing. According to your method, where is the freedom of education, where is the independence of education, and where is the dignity of the university. I am afraid that in the future the school will become a toy in the hands of you warlords. You want to cultivate a bunch of people who have no ideas but only
Fate is a tool of obedience. If you want to enslave the entire nation, the wise people in the world will not agree!"
After Zhang Boling finished speaking, he turned and left the handsome man's house. Everyone present frowned. Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Boling's back, shook his head, and then said: "No matter what these literati think or look at, I support Zhu Yan.
I believe that good steel should be used on the blade."
Wang Yongjiang also smiled and said: "Yes, we can't control other places. At least this is how we do it in Fengtian. I think the unified examination method mentioned in my humble words is very good. This can ensure the most basic fairness, and
Being able to select talents from the widest possible range, as long as they pass the exam, they will be eligible for further education, and then choose a school, which can reduce a lot of costs."
"Mr. Minyuan, in the final analysis, if we want more students to receive education, we still need to reduce the cost of education, open more primary and secondary schools, and provide compulsory education. As long as education is made cheap and popular, society can be fair!" (To be continued!) Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
