Chapter 477 474. Moral Education Lesson
"Although he comes from a pure-blooded family, he has been in the Muggle world for many years. He has no prejudice against Muggles, knows enough about science and technology and history, and he has good morals and integrity. He is the best choice for moral education courses. "
Lynn turned to look at Hermione: "Have you already attended his class?"
Hermione shook her head: "No, we only have Professor Fox's class this afternoon."
"Then you can look forward to it. I always think that Professor Fox's lecture is very interesting, even though he has always said that he was not interested in being a professor while he was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Hermione is indeed looking forward to Professor Fox’s class.
Not only because Lynn often raised him in front of her, Hermione was also considered to have lived and died with Fox and Lynn on the island, and she would naturally feel kinder to him.
In the afternoon, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff's fourth grade students' first moral education class for wizards arrived as scheduled.
Fox is still wearing his windbreaker that has changed forever, and he walked into the classroom with nothing but a magic wand in his hand.
The students did not bring any textbooks except the magic wand, because there was no formal textbook for this class, and Fox did not ask them in advance to bring something to class.
After the regular roll call before class, Fox looked at the students below and said with a smile.
"You are all fourth-grade students, most of whom are at the age of 15, so you have basically formed your own set of ideas. At this time, it seems a bit late to give you moral education.
However, although our class is a compulsory course at Hogwarts, it will not be included in the assessment of wizards at all levels. Originally, Professor Dumbledore wanted to set up a reward and punishment system for moral education in the school, but in the end it was also in me. Cancelled under persuasion.
Because I think that as long as the law is not touched, a person's character cannot be considered in any form. After all, the line in everyone's heart is different.
So we don’t have any exams in this class, including final exams, and I won’t give you any homework assignments. You can even treat our class time as a simple fireside party. It’s just that there are no stoves and beer here, only deserted classrooms and me, a nagging old man. "
Fox’s opening remarks caused a burst of cheerful laughter in the classroom.
The students can't help but relax after listening to his words. Since there is no pressure from exams and homework, they naturally don't have to be tense during class.
"I believe there will be doubts at this time. Since our class has neither homework nor exams, what is the reason for it?" Fox smiled and looked at the students below.
His voice is very magnetic, he doesn't want to be as rough as Moody, and every word he says can attract the attention of the little wizards.
"At the beginning, I was very excited when I received Hogwarts preparing to open such a course and asked me to be the first professor of this course.
Because I have visited many magic schools during my travels in the world for so many years. Even though I have visited all the seven most famous magic schools in the world, no school has proposed to teach children like you other than magic. Outside knowledge.
Some people might say that since we are a magic school, we must learn magic. Besides this, we should learn other things?
There is nothing wrong with this statement. The magic school must first learn magic, but this is not all that a school should teach.
Education itself is not only to teach underage children knowledge, but what you need to be educated is the principles of life and doing things and the morals that everyone should have in their hearts.
I am very happy that Hogwarts can become the first magic school that can realize this, and can add ideology and morality to daily education.
Prior to this, these things and principles in the magical society were basically the responsibility of family education. The vast majority of parents would instill the correct ideas in you, but it is undeniable that there are also some parents. Your own ideological education is very lacking. When educating you, these bad habits and thoughts will inevitably affect you.
Of course, everyone has their own set of guidelines for doing things and doing things. I cannot believe that all ideas that disagree with me are all wrong. You can completely take my lesson on the spot as a story lesson and social practice lesson. Many people will say, but if you want to truly understand these principles, you still have to rely on you to personally understand them.
So in the moral education class, I will not instill those boring truths into you. Our courses will basically be divided into two types.
The first is a debate class. Normally in the classroom, I will give you a proposition. You can determine the pros and cons according to what you think in your mind, and then freely express your views to debate. I will also participate in it. My own point of view, of course, my point of view is not necessarily correct, so there are no judges and no winners in the debates in our class, but I will maintain order, and the final result will only depend on which one you agree more or what you feel in your heart. One is correct.
The second type is practical courses. There shouldn’t be many courses of this type. After all, Hogwarts is a boarding school of magic and magic. I applied to Professor Dumbledore to give it to me without taking your rest time. I personally set aside your day and took you out of the castle to class makes him very embarrassed But he finally agreed to my request graciously, and every grade within a school year I have set aside 5 days so that I can take you out of the castle to have a practical class. "
Fox’s words made the students even more excited.
Only from this long passage of his, they have developed an infinite interest in this course.
Usually going to class is to have a debate, and there is a chance to go out of the castle and play for a whole day. More importantly, this will not take up extracurricular time. Is there a better course in the world?
"What kind of professors do we usually do outside in our practical classes?" Some students raised their hands happily and asked.
"Of course it is to do some relaxing and enjoyable things, you can actually regard the practice class out as a group outing, it will become a very interesting experience in your life."
Fox said with a smile, and then he patted his palms.
"Well, I have finished all the things that should be said at the beginning. Now we are about to start the content of our first class. Unsurprisingly, this class is a debate class. Each grade is different because of the different ages of the students. The topics presented are also different, so the first class of your fourth grade debate is—are wizards and Muggles the same kind of people?"
