Reborn to create a virtual world

Lin Shu knew the reason why it was chosen as a debate topic when he got the topic.

Compulsory education has been implemented for so many years, but the saying that reading is useless has never disappeared.There are not many such arguments in Nan Huizhong, mainly because it is a key school and there are more good students.

But among Lin Shu's elementary school classmates, there are quite a few who stopped studying at this time.Junior high school itself is still within the scope of compulsory education, and theoretically it is impossible to suspend school.But if the person concerned refuses to go to school, and the parents indulge, neither the school nor the government can do much.

There are not many students in Nan Hui who adhere to the pure "reading is useless theory", but there are quite a few students who complain that the content of the study is useless.Especially the last physics exam question was so rare that it made people ecstasy. Many students complained that it is useless to learn some things.

In fact, the knowledge in middle school is relatively basic, and Lin Shu always thinks that it is an upgraded version of the general knowledge class in elementary school.The six courses of physics, chemistry, biology, history, politics and land are said to be professional knowledge, rather than learning a kind of "reason".

This principle is the "law of nature" and "law of society".

But the truth is so, how to debate in the formal debate is another question.What Lin Shu and the others were assigned was the positive argument. He personally felt that this argument was very dominant, but unexpectedly, his friends didn't think so.

In the recent debates, the members of the debate team have learned how to empathize and how to look for arguments not from their own standpoint but from the standpoint of the topic.But even so, they still find it difficult.

In middle school, even the well-behaved students will inevitably have some rebellious consciousness.Unlike the past ten years, when they believed in all the things and truths they were told, children of this age generally began to learn to question the world, and began to have their own values ​​and outlook on life, and use their limited life experience to interpret and judge the world.

The same goes for this group of friends.

Although they are not poor students who do not like to study, it is not necessarily true how much this group of children love to study.Lin Shu scratched his face with his fingers, and fell into hesitation.Lin Shu couldn't help feeling a little emotional when faced with a child who had good grades but felt from the bottom of his heart that what he was learning so far was useless.

The domestic education model is really easy to consume children's learning enthusiasm and learning optimism, causing children to instinctively have negative and pessimistic thoughts about learning.For example, at this time, the girl who has been in charge of the debate said: "I can't think of anything like physical chemistry for people who don't do this kind of work in the future..."

Chi Xinguang, who was debating three times, said: "I don't think some courses will be useful for my future work and life... For example, I want to study architectural design in the future. Is it useful to study physical chemistry?"

"..." Lin Shu then said, "The foundation of architectural design is mathematics, physics and chemistry."

Chi Xinguang: "!?"

Lin Shu said: "If you want to learn architectural design, you can't just learn to draw. Architectural design itself is related to a lot of physical knowledge, such as load-bearing walls, anti-sunshine design, sound insulation and echo design... These are all physics. knowledge within."

During this period of time, Lin Shu led a few friends to have a big debate, and the teacher almost didn't intervene.Although Lin Shu didn't directly participate in the debate, he has always put forward many useful and key suggestions to several people, so several friends are very convinced by him.

And because of her mentality, Lin Shu often unconsciously behaves a bit like an elder, which leads to a delicate way of getting along with her friends.

Chi Xinguang knew the term load-bearing wall, but he didn't know the specific function.For the rest of what Lin Shu said, he knew every word when he took it apart, but Chi Xinguang couldn't understand the specific meaning when put together.

He didn't understand, so Lin Shu explained to him: "The load-bearing wall is a house. How do you design the supporting wall so that the house is not easy to collapse? This is the content of mechanics in physics. The anti-sunshine design means Use different materials to make partitions on the roof, and then when the sun shines down, there is no heat transmission in the house, which is related to the physical heat transmission and the chemical material properties."

Chi Xinguang was suddenly surprised: "Architectural design... Is it also a profession related to chemistry and physics?"

Lin Shu replied: "It's not the same subject, but it has a lot to do with it."

The girl from the second debate heard this, but couldn't help asking: "What if I study art in the future?"

Lin Shu said: "If you study art, you need to learn geometric perspective and human perspective, which have something to do with physics and biology."

"What if I study accounting?"

Lin Shu replied: "Accounting is a subject of economics, which involves a lot of mathematical modeling. If there is a subject that is more related to it, I think it should be history and politics besides mathematics."

"why?"

"Because economics itself is a sociology. If you want to learn accounting, one is to understand the legal regulations, and the second is to understand the operating structure of the accounting object... In essence, it is necessary to know where all kinds of money are spent. Why do you spend it so much, where you earn it, and how you should distribute it. From this perspective, history and politics can teach you a lot, such as the inflation caused by the crazy printing of money in the late Republic of China..."

Since the friends did not understand the word inflation clearly enough, Lin Shu explained it again in a relatively simple and clear way.

Along the way, the friends asked many questions, and Lin Shu answered them all.In addition to deeply admiring Lin Shu's knowledge, the children finally regained a little confidence in their arguments.

After that, Lin Shu and others went to the empty classroom for a meeting during night self-study.A sister read the topic once: "Are some auxiliary subjects in middle school useful for the work and life of students who do not engage in this major in the future?" Then asked, "Should we first interpret the topic?"

Lin Shu nodded.

So a few people took out a pen and paper, and began to interpret: "Auxiliary subjects... The notice said that they are physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, politics... We don't need to define this. The words of 'this major' , does it refer specifically to materialized biohistory and geopolitics, or does it refer to all occupations that may use relevant knowledge in large quantities?"

Lin Shu said: "Let's just think of it as all the occupations that use a lot of relevant knowledge. It doesn't make much sense to bite the words on it. If we grasp the definition of this part and play word games, we will deviate from the original intention of this topic. Even if we argue If we win, the teacher may not necessarily judge us to win."

After everyone listened, they were silent for a while, and then, as the second debater, she said in frustration: "This topic is really difficult to debate. The argument is not good for us."

Unexpectedly, Lin Shu smiled and said, "No, I think it's just the opposite. This argument is actually very beneficial to us."

Friends: "!?"

Lin Shu said: "Because the topic is 'Are some auxiliary subjects in middle school useful for the work and life of students who do not engage in this major in the future?' Consider first, when we are positive and negative for this topic, what should we do? Place to cut in. If we are square, we want to prove that these lessons are useful for future life and work... right?"

The girl nodded.

"Then if we are the opposing side, from which part do you think you can cut in?"

The girl suddenly fell into thought as she stared at the notice.

After a long time, she said: "If it is against, the argument should be that it is useless for future life and work. Well... If you want to cut in, it should be an argument to learn something else, or do something else It will be more useful for our life and future work... If it were me, I would probably find some foreign education models as a comparison, emphasizing that more interesting courses that can be chosen, or practical related courses?"

The girl's thoughts are sharp and clear, and it is obvious that the game in the afternoon will only go wrong.Lin Shu nodded and said: "This direction is right. I think most people will be more likely to move closer to this direction." Then Lin Shu made a turning point, "But this argument will be supported by classmates, but not Will convince the teacher."

Several people were stunned.

"Because, this topic is not 'compared with the present, is there a better education mode', but 'are some auxiliary subjects in middle school useful for the work and life of students who do not engage in this major in the future?' Our argument is useful , while the other side's argument can only be 'useless', if extended to a better curriculum arrangement, they are digressing."

It took a while for Chi Xinguang to be the first to understand what Lin Shu meant, and then said, "But if that's the case, they won't be able to argue at all..."

Then he stopped suddenly, because he remembered that in the first debate match, Lin Shu helped them plan their argument with an interpretation that the other party couldn't argue at all, and then won a big victory.

Lin Shu said: "So our argument in this round is 'the current discipline settings may not be the most superior and perfect settings, but they are useful for future work and life." No matter how the other party argues, we only need to grasp two Points: 1. What we learn is indeed useful. 2. Whether the content of learning is useful or not has nothing to do with whether there is a better system planning, but only depends on itself.”

"So now let's discuss how the six courses of physics, chemistry, biology and history and land administration are useful to our daily life and study."

Unlike most students, they may think that the school asked them to discuss the curriculum reform, but Lin Shu understands that the school system reform has nothing to do with the students. First, they have no effect on the school system reform. Being in the bureau, it is inevitable that there are extreme and unreasonable parts in the thinking.

It's useless for students to discuss these things. That's something that education department staff need and are qualified to discuss, because they are the ones who spend their energy, spend their budget, and spend their time on it.

As for the current topic in schools, the purpose should be nothing more than to persuade students.
