Chapter 647

St. George's primary school.

This is the name of the school Wu Ming attended.

When James paid for a year's tuition, he got a school badge, which was the entrance certificate, plus two sets of uniforms like the students outside, and a few textbooks.

Immediately, he was taken to a classroom.

"Students, this is your new classmate, Steven Stirling!"

The stereotyped and a little chilly old woman from the academic affairs office took him to the class in person. After introducing herself to the whole class, she assigned him a desk, and a series of procedures were completed.

Wu Ming looked around. There were about seven or eight year olds around.

Because they are well developed, they look as big as them, but they don't seem abrupt.

"Welcome new students, now, let's open the fifth page of the textbook..."

On the platform, a young female teacher clapped her hands, and a neat sound of turning books suddenly rang out: "today we are going to learn mathematics. Arithmetic is a wonderful knowledge. Everything has its own rules. By using the planning power of mathematics, we can make the boiler boil and the machine roar, showing incomparable power..."

Wu Ming looked around. James left the classroom in a hurry as soon as he sent him to the classroom, while the students nearby were listening attentively and remembering everything carefully.

Obviously, those who can be sent here to study are all talented students who are not well-off in their families, but they are very precocious. It's not easy to know this opportunity.

And the school did not have the slightest idea of rowing. The curriculum arrangement was very tight, and the knowledge was money and knowledge was power.

"Rapid cramming education, and high-intensity courses... There are no gangsters and rowers here. After all, no one will waste money like this..."

Wu Ming recalled the scenes when he entered the school. He could not help thinking of the feeling of assembly line production.

The whole school is full of the same sense of urgency as the factory, which seems to be the characteristics of the times. In the process of great development, everything is evolving to a faster and faster pace.

Obviously, those educated in this way should be quite good talents in the end.

"Education elitism..."

With a sigh in his heart, he found that what the teacher is teaching now is the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then he turned to another textbook.

These textbooks are all newly printed with the fragrance of ink and fine illustrations.

The primary school curriculum is relatively simple. There are only literature, arithmetic, geography and history. Among them, literature is a simple course of character recognition. The geography textbook is also relatively broad, but it is a thick history book. It gives a good account of the general trend of the world over the past thousand years, so that Wu Ming finally has an understanding of his own world.

"It turns out that... My country is the kingdom of Golden Oak, a former monarchy. After several reforms and coups, I entered the path of constitutional monarchy..."

Wu Ming opened the history book and the geography book to the national map.

"The Bauhinia Federation, the Golden Oak Kingdom and the pandorn empire are the three largest countries in the world. They have taken the lead in industrialization and entered the steam age. Most of the other small countries are colonies and dumping markets of these three countries... But there are also contradictions among the three countries, such as the declaration of war and confrontation of the Bauhinia Federation last time, Finally, we managed to restore peace through the mediating mediation of the pan do empire.

"The discovery of steam power is the greatest invention in modern times, which has profoundly changed the process of the world. From then on, human beings can conquer nature, sky and earth, and everything..."

At the end of the history book, there is such a arrogant remark, but after Wu Ming saw it, he was lost in thought.

The development of this world is very interesting, especially in steam engines and boilers. I'm afraid that the efficiency and function of steam engines and boilers have far exceeded the improvement of watt in previous generations. Therefore, it has pushed the whole world into a more vast and strange era of Steampunk.

"Steven!"

The female teacher on the platform helped her glasses, and finally found Wu Ming's little action: "I can understand your mood on the first day of class, but please note that it's arithmetic class now, don't look at textbooks that have nothing to do with it!"

"I know you can be sent to school by your family. You must be a smart kid. Maybe you are a genius, but there are a lot of talents here!" she said

"Do you know how many people there are in the kingdom? 152 million! And how many schools are there in the whole country? Less than 100000! This also includes those noble schools and women's schools. We are the only campus to recruit students for the whole Danube corridor. Do you know how many people there are in this area? How many geniuses are there? So, you are not special. If you want to be a face person, you have to work hard! "

After publishing a lesson, the female teacher was very satisfied to see little Steven compromise the textbook: "now... Steven, you do this problem!"

Wu Ming looked at a simple arithmetic problem on the blackboard, but he was quite speechless.

He stepped forward three or two steps, picked up the chalk and wrote out the answer, which made the female teacher stunned.

"Well? Steven, you are good at arithmetic. Have you learned it before? Let's clap for him

The female teacher took the lead in clapping, and there was a clap in the classroom.

"If I can't solve this kind of problem, wouldn't I be killed..."

With the presence of the teacher, Wu Ming is not good, no matter how provocative, can only honestly stay until the end of the class.

Being able to go out to school represents at least a little freedom in time, and there is still a little secret space, which is enough for him to do many things.

As for these courses... No matter how difficult it is for children, it's just a joke for Wu Ming.

"Hi! You are good at arithmetic. Did you see teacher Lina's expression at that time? Ha ha...! "

In his spare time after class, a little guy with a mole on his face leaned over: "I'll introduce myself. My name is vidi!"

"I'm Steven!"

Wu Ming tilted his head: "what's wrong with Miss Lina?"

"Don't you think it's boring for her to preach every time she comes in, especially that part!"

Vidi has a talent for comedy. She parrots what Linna said: "she is the genius of suppression... The next Neville, who was very smart and lively, was told by the teacher, but now she doesn't play with me. She only knows how to bury it in the textbook..."

"Is that self-improvement?"

Wu Ming turned a white eye in his heart and looked at the dress of vidi.

Although they were all uniform, the delicate and shiny shoes still exposed his wealth. It was a very famous brand, and James seemed to have had such a pair.

"Why don't we play truant and go out?"

"The woods at the back of the school are good. It's a good place to play hide and seek," vidi urged eagerly

"Just the two of us?"

Wu Ming glanced around.

"They don't want to play with me!"

In fact, he wanted to say that his plan of skipping classes had never been successful. Every time, he was coldly suppressed by those old women who were taught by the school.

The break after class was very short. After the bell rang in the loudspeaker, a young male teacher in a gray jacket came into the classroom and opened the lesson plan: "Hello, students, I'm your history teacher. Today I'm going to tell you..."

Almost all the courses in the school are cramming. The teachers finish teaching quickly and get the reward they deserve. Except in class, most of them refuse to answer all the questions.

Every class is also based on the process. If you miss it, you will miss it, and you will never talk about it again. The real learning outcome depends on self-consciousness.

In such a course, as long as you don't skip class, most teachers don't care about you.

This also highlights the difference between Lin Na and her teacher. The young female teacher seems to have a sense of responsibility, but there is a little problem with the way of education.

"A perfect social system, in order to climb to the top, in addition to overnight wealth, the best way is to study..."

Through a day's experience in the school, combined with what he had heard before, Wu Ming immediately understood the operation mode of education here.

St. George's primary school is a five-year junior school. If you graduate smoothly and pass the examination, you can go to the middle school directly. After three years, the people who come out can basically get a good job with their knowledge in society.

Of course, this is the worst way.

After the completion of the middle school, most students can also choose to take examinations and take part in the recruitment examinations held by various colleges.

For example, the Royal Police Academy, the comprehensive university, the military academy and so on.

To participate in the selection of these schools, the secondary school diploma is one of the necessary prerequisites. It is said that the elimination rate is very high, but once it is successful, it will be an individual face immediately after it comes out.

When you come out of a police academy, you can be an inspector. When you come out of a military academy, you are an officer.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to pass this kind of examination successfully, not to mention that the admission rate of some noble schools is very different from that of ordinary middle schools, and there are special places for recommendation.

"Do you want to spend more than ten years in school?"

Although James and his wife certainly hoped that he would go on such a road, it was quite painful for Wu Ming.

"In fact, a lot of people drop out of school before they finish primary school. Most of them can get good jobs when they come out of middle school. After all, a few are really willing to fight again..."

He is now seven or eight years old and 15 or 16 years old after he came out of middle school. He is not only a young adult, but also an important labor force in his family.

There are only a few people who can really have spare money to provide higher education.

Wu Ming is clear about James and his wife's plan, because he shows his talent and has the taste of cultivating himself in this aspect.
