Culture is an ideological activity, accepting the feeling of beauty and humanity. Wasting information has nothing to do with yourself. A well-informed person is the most useless person on earth. Students should focus on cultivating people with cultural and professional knowledge and develop in some special directions. Their professional knowledge will enable them to start in the local area, and their culture will lead them to a high level of philosophy and art. We must remember that precious intellectual development is self-development, and most of them occur between the ages of 16 and 32. As for training, the most important part is the age of the former mother. 12. As the saying goes, because the archbishop's temple explains what I mean. Suddenly someone came to life after success. When he was a child, he was a bit inseparable in football. He replied, "It's not what they were at 18, but what they became later."

In training children's thinking activities, we must guard against all the above things. I will invite "lazy ideas", that is, ideas are just used, tested or thrown into fresh combinations.

In the past history education, the most prominent phenomenon is that school study, one of the living times and fermenting geniuses, is just pedantic and routine in a generation exhibition. The reason is that they are too lazy. Education and lazy thoughts are not only useless: they are the most important, harmful and corrupt optimization, pessima. Apart from occasional brewing, education has been infected with fundamental inertia in the past. This is why smart and educated women, who can be seen in many parts of the world, are part of many of the most educated groups in life. They saved the idea from this terrible burden of inertia. Every ideological revolution evokes the inert thought that mankind has entered a great passionate protest. Then, alas, poor ignorance and human psychology, it has begun to combine some educational plans with human inertia to form itself.

Now, let's ask about our education system. We should be alert to this spiritual corruption. We make clear the educational behavior of the two countries, "Don't teach too many subjects", and emphasize again that "you teach thoroughly."

As a result, a small part of teaching, a large number of topics are passively accepting interrupted ideas, rather than lighting any spark of vitality. Let's introduce the importance of children's education and let them fall into every possible combination. The child should make himself understand its application here and his real life in this situation. From the beginning of his education, children should experience the joy of discovery. His discovery is that this general idea gives an understanding of the event flow through his life, that is, his life. When I say understanding, I don't just mean logical analysis, although it is also included. I mean "understanding", which is used in the French proverb: "In order to understand everything, nothing is possible." Scholars scoff that education is beneficial. But if education is useless, what is it? Is this a gift or is it hidden in a napkin? Of course, education should be beneficial, no matter what your life goal is. This is good for St. Augustine and good for Napoleon. It is useful because understanding is beneficial.

It is easy to spread the understanding beyond this point, and literature education should be given. I also don't want to announce the comparative advantages of classical or modern courses. I just want to understand what I said. What we need is to understand the current continuity. The only way to use knowledge in the past was to lay a solid foundation for us. Nothing can hurt the hearts of young people more than this. This includes all existence. This is sacred land; Because this is the past and this is the future. At the same time, it must be pointed out that an era can not pass, if there is a comparison two hundred years ago, if there is a comparison two thousand years ago. Don't be deceived by pedantic dating. Shakespeare and Moliere are also older than Sophocles and Virgil. The blending of saints is a great and inspiring combination, but there is only one possible venue, that is, now, it is only the passage of time, and any particular group of saints must go to this venue, which makes no difference.

Through the education of science and logic now, we remember that there is another idea, that is, don't use those positive and harmful things. When I say using an idea, I mean understanding its fluidity, complex meaning, emotions, hopes, desires and psychological activities, and adjusting the idea to form our life. I can imagine a set of ideas that people may consolidate their souls and passively censor them. Humans are not built like this, except for some newspaper editors.

In scientific training, the first thing to do is to prove this. But please allow me to "prove" the significance of a time extension; I mean, to prove its value. The present idea is not worth it unless it is proved to be a true embodiment. Therefore, a very important part of the proof of an idea is to prove that it is a true proposition, whether through experiment or logic. However, this is not essential, which proves that truth should be introduced into this idea first. After all, its claim began with sufficient evidence from authoritative and respected teachers. When we first came into contact with a series of ideas, we began to realize their importance. This is the life of all of us in the afterlife. Strictly speaking, we don't try to prove or refute anything unless its importance makes it worthy of this honor. The burden of proof in narrow sense and appreciation of these two processes does not need strict time separation. Both parties can start work at the same time. However, any process so far must have priority and should be taken seriously.

Besides, we should not try to use isolated. Emphasize that I don't mean a clean little experiment to explain the proposition, and then I don't have a set of neat experiments to explain proposition 2, and then prove proposition 2, and so on. Nothing is more boring than this. Truth is used in an interrelated block, and various propositions are adopted by any command and cannot be repeated by any command. Choose some important questions to apply your theory; At the same time, it makes a systematic theoretical exposition. Keep the theoretical discussion short, but be strict and rigid. It should not be too long, because it is easy to be associated with the known thoroughness and accuracy. Too much knowledge of semi-digestion theory is very sad. In addition, theory and practice should not be confused. When it is proved, when it is used, children should have no doubt. In my opinion, we should make full use of what is proved and this one. So far, this is feasible and confirmed. I don't think proof and utilization are the same thing.

At this point, if I say so, I can develop my argument most directly in the form of leaving Hong Kong. We have just realized that the education of art and science needs a genius to study ourselves, and this genius and science are branches of science or literature with more naked knowledge. This fact was partially considered in the past generation; The headmaster, who is a little rough, is easily replaced by his colleagues, who ask for bowling with his left hand and like football. However, culture is not just cricket, not just football, not just the scope of knowledge.

Education is to acquire knowledge of artistic application. This is a very difficult art teaching. Whenever a textbook is written with real educational value, you can say with considerable certainty that some critics will say it is difficult to teach. Of course, it will be difficult to teach. If it is easy, the book should be burned; Because it cannot be educated. In education, as in other places, the extensive primrose road leads to annoying places. This evil path is that a book or a set of lectures will make students remember almost all the questions that may be needed in the next external exam. I can say that any education system is possible unless every question is directly asked by students in any exam, which is formulated or revised by their actual teachers. The external judges will report on the students' courses or performances, but students are never allowed to ask a question without the strict supervision of the actual teacher, or at least inspire a long-term meeting with him. There are several exceptions to this rule, but they also have exceptions, which are easily allowed under general rules.

Let's go back to my previous point of view, that is, theoretical ideas should always find important applications in students' courses. This is not an easy theory to apply, but a very difficult theory. It contains its own problems. Keeping knowledge alive and not making it inert is the core issue of all education.

The best plan will depend on several factors, none of which can be ignored, namely, gifted teachers, knowledge-based students, their life prospects, opportunities provided by schools in the surrounding areas and related factors, in this order. It is for this reason that unified external inspection is fatal. We won't quit, because we are weirdos and like to condemn the establishment. We're not that naive. Of course, this kind of examination also has its own lax examination. The reason why we don't like it is clear and practical. It stifles the essence of culture. When you analyze the central task education according to your experience, you will find that its successful completion depends on a subtle adjustment and many variables. The reason is that we are dealing with the human mind, not the problem of death. In the case of arousing curiosity, judgment and mastering the power of a complex dispute, applying theoretical foresight in special circumstances, all these powers are not to teach a set of rules embodied in the timetable and examination subjects.

I appeal to you, because a real teacher. With good discipline, it always injects inert knowledge into the brain as much as possible. You need textbooks for them to study. So far, so good. Then the child will know how to solve the quadratic equation. But what is the teaching point for children to solve quadratic equations? There is a traditional answer to this question. Therefore, it works like this: the heart is a tool, you strengthen it first, and then use it; The purchase of power solves the sharpening problem of quadratic process thought. Now, there is enough truth in this answer, which has been experienced by sinners of all ages. But although this is only half-truth, it embodies radical mistakes, and justice has stifled the genius of the modern world. I don't know who first took charge of this metaphor about mental death. For Otto, I know it may be a Greek with seven wits, or many people in the whole Committee. Who is the initiator, but the authority is beyond doubt, and it has won the celebrity granted to it through constant recognition. But regardless of its weight, power and high degree of approval, it can be cited. I do not hesitate to condemn it as one of the most deadly, wrong and dangerous concepts introduced into previous theoretical education. The mind is always passive, it is a permanent activity, subtle, receptive and stimulating response. You can't postpone your life until you strengthen it. No matter how interested you are in your subject, it must be induced here now. Whatever your strength is to strengthen students, it must be implemented here now. No matter what the possibility of teaching spiritual life should be, it must be shown here. This is the golden rule of education, which is difficult to follow.

The difficulty is this: the general idea of arrest, intellectual thinking habits, hobbies and happy spiritual achievements can be induced by any form of words, but they should be adjusted accurately. All teachers with practical experience know that education is the information that patients get in the process, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. There is no shortcut to learning generalization through the bright and glorious road. There is a proverb that trees are hard to see because of trees. This kind of difficulty is exactly what I performed. The education of this problem is to let students see trees with wood.

I asked, the solution is to eliminate the fatal disconnection problem and make the modern curriculum full of vitality. There is only one theme of education, that is, various forms of life. Instead of this single unity, we provide children-algebra, which has never been the following; Geometry, without any of the following: science has never been the following; History has never been like this: a couple's language has never been mastered; Finally, the saddest thing is that the literature represented by Shakespeare devotes itself to memory with literary description and short-term analysis of plot and nature. Can such a list represent life, because it is known in all kinds of difficult lives? At best, this is a quick list, and God may not be in his heart. He wants to create a world, but he hasn't decided how to put it together.

Now let's go back to the quadratic equation. We still have the answer at hand. Why should children be taught to solve these problems? There is certainly no reason to teach them anything unless quadratic equations are integrated into the curriculum. Besides, a lot of mathematics should take place in a complete culture. I'm a little skeptical that many types of boys' algebraic solutions to quadratic equations are professional mathematics. I can remind you here that I didn't say anything about psychology and content. This is a very necessary part and an ideal education. However, all this is an escape from the real question, and I am just in a state of avoiding being misunderstood by my answer.

Quadratic equations are part of algebraic, algebraic and intellectual tools that have been established to present clear quantitative aspects of the world. Did not get rid of it through and through the number of infections in the world. In a sense, the talks are quantitative. It's no use saying the country is big. How big is it? It's no use saying radium is scarce. -How rare is it? You can't avoid quantity. You may fly to poetry and music, and the number of people will face your rhythm and your octave. The number of elegant and despised intellectual theories is only half that of developed countries. They are even more pitiful than the nonsense of accusing them of signing with nominal algebra when they were students. The problem that sex change algebra is nonsense, whether it is speech or fact, provides a poor example of useless educational reform timetable without clear concept, and its attribute should arouse children in life. A few years ago, there was an algebra called school, which needed to be reformed, but it was generally believed that maps would have all rights.

So all kinds of things are squeezed and graphics are introduced. So far, I don't see such an idea, just a figure. Now, each test paper has one or two problem maps. A chart of my personal enthusiastic followers. However, I don't know if it has accumulated to ten points. You can't put any life schedule into general education unless you successfully demonstrate all the intellectual or emotional views about some basic features involved. Toxin is hard to say, but it is real, and I don't understand how to make it easier. After making these small changes in form, you are defeated by some basic things. If you fight an enemy who is too skilled, he will always see his peas according to other thimbles.

Reform must come from the other end. First of all, you should make it easy for you to consider these quantitative aspects of the world. You can introduce general education. Then, the timetable algebra should be formulated and find its own examples in these applications. We don't have to worry about our pet photos, they will often appear. When we start to treat algebra again, it is a serious means to study some simple applications in the world, and numbers will be found in the simplest research society. The history of the curve is more vivid and easier to understand than the name and date of the dry catalogue, which includes a larger part of the dry school research. What is the purpose of the undifferentiated king and queen? Tom, Dick or Harry, they are all dead. Generally, resurrection fails, and it is best to postpone it. The power of quantity flux in modern society can be displayed simply. At the same time, the idea of variables, functions, interest rate changes, equations and their solutions and elimination is being studied as an abstract science for its own benefit. Of course, in grandiose phrases, I-I imply that they are here, but through simple iteration, special circumstances are suitable for teaching.

If this process should be followed. The route from Chaucer's Black Death to the modern labor problem of the Black Death links the story of medieval pilgrims with the abstract algebra of science, which not only produces different aspects, but also produces a single theme of life. I know what you want most at this time. This is exact, of course, I have outlined, it is not special, you will choose and even see how it works. I totally agree. I don't think I can be myself. However, your opposition is the exact reason why * * * and foreign examination systems are fatal education. The application of knowledge in the exhibition process must be for its success, which mainly depends on the nature of students and talented teachers. Of course, I have left the simplest application, and most of us are at home. I mean quantitative science, such as mechanics and physics.

Similarly, in the same respect, we plan the statistics of social phenomena in time. Then, we eliminate the time between right and wrong. We can guess to what extent we show a real causal relationship, or how much is just a coincidence in time. We noticed that we might plan time for one set of statistics in one country and another set of statistics in another country. Therefore, it is only a coincidence to choose a suitable theme and get a graphic display. There are other exhibition pictures with obvious causal relationship. We don't know how to tell. Therefore, we will try our best.

However, when considering this description, I must beg you to remember that I have always adhered to the above point of view. First of all, will an idea suit all children? For example, I should have expected craftsmen's children to think more concretely, and in a sense, they built here faster than me. Maybe I was wrong, but this is what I should have guessed. Second, I didn't consider a beautiful speech to stimulate, once and for all, first-class appreciation. This is not an educational gain by any means. No, students have been trying to solve the problem of learning lessons from illustrations and doing experiments until they have a thorough grasp of the whole topic. I describe interspersed explanations, and the direction of explanation should take into account their ideas. Students must think that what they are learning is not only the realization of intellectual minuets.

Finally, if you are a general student, the problem of voice teaching is very complicated. Have you noticed the zigzag shape of Norman wheel arch? The old job is wonderful, and the modern job is terrible. The reason is that modern work is done for accurate measurement, while ancient work is done according to the different characteristics of workers. There are many people here, so I zoomed in. Now, the essence of letting students pass the exam is the weight of all parts of the same timetable. However, human beings are born experts. When a person sees the whole theme, he can find another example, only a few independent examples. I know it seems contradictory to allow professional courses to be designed for a wide range of cultures. The world without contradiction may become simpler and more prosaic. But I am sure that in education, no matter where you exclude majors, you are destroying your life.

We now have general mathematics education in other great branches, namely geometry. The same principle applies. It is very important that the theoretical part should be clear, rigid and short. Every proposition is not absolutely necessary. The main ideas of the exhibition should be reduced, but the great basic ideas should be there. Striking concepts, such as similarity and proportion. We must remember that with the help of visual existence, a number and geometry is an outstanding exercise in deductive reasoning in an unparalleled field. Then, of course, the following geometric drawing, training hands and eyes.

However, things like algebra, geometry and geometric drawing must go beyond the concept that geometry is just a circle. In industrial areas, the form of machinery and practice seminars is appropriately expanded. For example, London Institute of Technology has achieved remarkable success in this respect. For many middle schools, I suggest the natural application of surveying and mapping. Especially the plane measuring platform, students should be led to vivid arrest and geometric truth should be implemented immediately. Simple drawing instruments, measuring chains and gauges should enable students to increase the investigation and determination of foreign architectural drawings in a small county. The best education is to find the simplest equipment and get the biggest news. It is strongly recommended to formulate this regulatory instrument. In order to establish a map of a small county, the road has been considered. Its outline, its geology and climate, other areas it involves, and its influence on the status of residents will teach us more about history and geography than any knowledge about Perkin Vorbeck or Belem Strait. I don't mean the subject of a vague lecture, but a serious investigation to determine the true facts with the help of accurate theoretical knowledge. A typical mathematical problem should be: investigate such a field, draw a plan in one scale or another, and find the area. This will be a very good program, which can teach necessary geometric propositions without evidence. Then, at the same time, the investigation that proves that the proposition will be learned is also making progress.

Fortunately, college education raises easier questions and does not provide general culture. There are many reasons for this. One of them is that many procedural principles are observed in the same way. In both cases, this is unnecessary repetition. Another reason is that professional training is being or should be carried out. At a more advanced stage, students' courses make material work easier. However, there is no doubt that the main reason is that expert research is usually a special kind of research that students are interested in. He is studying it at present, because for some reason, he wants to know it. This makes all the differences. General culture is a mentality aimed at promoting activities; Specialized courses adopt this kind of activity. But it didn't put too much pressure on these neat confrontations. As we have seen, special interest groups will appear in general curriculum stoves; And similar special research, the theme of external relations has been dragged out.

Similarly, there is no course in research, and the special research on general education only pursues general culture and another specialized knowledge. On the other hand, one way is to encourage general psychological activities to promote a special dedication. There may be no gap in your study of seamless coats. What education teaches is a concept of power, because beautiful ideas and structural ideas, together with the knowledge of a certain system, have a strange reference to the life that owns it.

The idea of appreciating the structure is that the cultivating party keeps in mind that it can only grow under the influence of special learning. I mean the whole chessboard eyes, carrying a group of another ideas is just a special study, which can give any appreciation of the exact wording of the general idea when it is formulated and serves their understanding of life. Such spiritual training should be more abstract and concrete. Trained to understand abstract thinking and analyze facts.

Finally, there is the most severe psychological quality of growth; I mean, reasonable style. This is a kind of aesthetic feeling, which is based on admiration and directly achieves the expected purpose, but it is not wasted. In artistic style, literary style, scientific style, style logic and style, the actual implementation is basically the same aesthetic quality, that is, realization and restraint. Loving the theme itself and setting the pace for yourself, rather than falling asleep, is the love style embodied in this study.

Here, we all take back the position of practical education from us. Style, in its best sense, is to finally acquire an educated mentality; It is also the most useful. It runs through happiness. Administrators have a sense of justice and hate waste; An engineer who saves materials for his style; Craftsmen have a sense of justice, style and better workmanship. Style is the ultimate moral state of mind.

But the most important style, the knowledge above, has some, a vague shape, just like the fate of the Greek god above. This thing is power. The formation of style is power, limiting power. However, the realization of the ideal of power is crucial after all. The first thing to do is go. Before you. Never mind your style, but solve your problems in an appropriate way, manage your province well, or become someone else before it is established.

So, is there no style to help? At this point, the end of the hairstyle will not cause side effects, nor will it cause unwanted inflammation. With your style of achieving your goals, there is nothing but your destination. Under the influence of style, your activities are calculable, and foresight is the last gift of God. Style increases your strength, because your mind will not be distracted by irrelevant things, and you can achieve your goals more easily. Now style is an expert with exclusive privileges. Who has ever heard of the style of an amateur painter or an amateur poet? Style is always a professional research of products and a professional culture with special contributions.

At present, English education lacks clear goals, which leads to its vitality from external mechanisms. So far, the goal I have considered in this speech is to standardize education. In response, Britain stopped the dialogue between the two countries. It hasn't decided whether to train amateurs or experts. In the profound changes that took place in the world in the 19th century, the growth of knowledge was far-sighted. Amateur is basically a person's appreciation of mastering a certain routine and great versatility. But his lack of foresight comes from special knowledge. The purpose of this address is to suggest how to produce experts without losing the basic virtues of amateurs. Machinery Our middle school education is rigid. Where there is high yield, there is high yield, and where there is slack, it is rigid. Every school must train a small number of boys to relieve pain. The headmaster has never let go of his general education or professional research. He built his school on the basis of opportunities, which were established by the school staff, environment, first-class boys and talents. I suggest that the purpose of external testing without system is mainly to examine what individual scholars may lead to, rather than the waste of education.

It is mainly schools, not scholars, that should be inspected. Each school should give itself a certificate of leaving school according to its own curriculum. This standard should be revised by sampling these schools. However, in the first necessary teaching reform, the school, as a unit, approved courses according to its own needs and set up its own staff. If we can't guarantee this, we will just go from one autumn to another formalism, from a cow dung mountain to another country.

Pointing out that a school is a real educational unit in any country, in order to ensure the efficiency of the system, I imagine an alternative system as an external inspection of individual scholars. However, every Scylla serrata is the one it faces, or in simpler language, there is a ditch on both sides of the road. This will be an equally deadly education. If we fall into a supervision department, our impression is that it can divide all schools into two or three hard categories, and each category is forced to adopt strict courses. What do I mean when I say the school is an educational unit? I said there is no bigger unit and there is no smaller unit. Every school must have creditor's rights in order to get attention in its special circumstances. Classification of schools is necessary for some purposes. However, there is no absolutely strict course, instead of modifying your own staff, which should be allowed. After appropriate modification, this principle also applies to universities and technical colleges. When a person thinks that his education is crucial to a country's youth, to the damaged life, to the hope of victory and to the failure of the country, it is because of reckless inertia that it is difficult to restrain his barbaric rampage. Not all heroism, not all social charm, not all wisdom, not all land or sea victories can move back to the fate of fingers. Tomorrow, science and technology will take a step forward, there will be no appeal judgment, and then uneducated people will be emphasized.

From the moment when our civilization is coming, we can't be less than the old and simple educational ideal at any time. Basic education is religious.

What is religious education?

Religious education is the responsibility and reverence of inculcating education. The responsibility comes from our potential to control the development of the situation Ignorance is a sin where knowledge can change problems. The reverence for the foundation is the view that the present scope has its own complete sum of existence, which is eternal in the whole time.
