Professor of Magic

Chapter 132 Problems with Teachers of Lesson 13
"Joshua! What are you..." Lin Yuan opened his mouth in astonishment, but found that among the students in Class [-], Grade [-], there were three people he was also familiar with.

Naturally, it was Betty, Nack and Fermi.

Suddenly seeing these four companions who had adventured together during the winter vacation, Lin Yuan was somewhat happy while being surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't we come?" Betty pouted. "Lin, oh no, it's time to call you Teacher Lin. We heard that you live here and that you are leaving tomorrow, so we hurried to come together."

But Nake slapped Lin Yuan and said loudly, "Lin, you really surprised us. I never thought that you would be Feinor's teacher."

After all, he was not a student of the Academy of Magic. Although he knew that Lin Yuan was a teacher at Feynor Academy, he didn't have too many scruples.

But Joshua and the others couldn't be so direct.

Joshua just smiled wryly and shook his head: "Lin... I'm still not used to calling you Mr. Lin, as early as when you told Betty and me about those magic knowledge, I already guessed that you shouldn't be just a fourth-grade student It's so simple, but I never expected that you are actually a teacher at Feynor College. And your students are so outstanding."

"Yes." Betty took it quickly. "We were still wondering why the number of spectators who came to the fourth-grade competition this year seemed to be much smaller than in previous years. After we inquired, we found out that they all went to watch the first-grade competition. Then we inquired again and found out that they The games I watched were all played by the students of Fenol College, and we also learned that the teacher leading the team is also called Lin Yuan. Then we were surprised, why is this teacher also called Lin Yuan? Later we asked the teacher leading the team, this Does the teacher named Lin Yuan also have black hair and black eyes, but the teacher said yes, then we know it is you."

Betty crackled and said, but she explained the reason why they came here fluently.

Lin Yuan nodded to Fermi first, then rubbed his nose and smiled wryly: "Then you found this place, and are you going to question my teacher?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you deceived their feelings." Xiu Ni shouted loudly, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"Yeah, we've been guessing what you did during the winter vacation, Mr. Lin. We didn't expect you to pretend to be a fourth-grade student to play with Joshua and the others. No wonder you also bought a set when you distributed the uniforms last time. It turns out It was already prepared." Vince echoed.

"Go, no one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak." Lin Yuan gave them a sidelong glance. "I'm doing a private interview on Weibo, do you understand? As a teacher, if you can't get close to the students, how can you really understand the students?"

"cut--"

"Lin, you have such a good relationship with your students." Betty said suddenly.

"What? Envious? Why don't you come to be a teacher after graduation, teaching students is very interesting." When Lin Yuan said this, his heart suddenly moved.

When discussing education reform with the president and those in charge of the colleges, they all ignored an important issue.

That is the most important point in the education system - the faculty.

In the original world, there have always been formal normal colleges to train teachers.Even if you don't come from a formal normal school, you can quickly adapt and be competent under the leadership and guidance of old teachers after becoming a teacher.

The entire education chain has become very mature after years of accumulation in the original world.

The situation on the mainland of Farinos is completely different.

At the very beginning, the teaching and learning of magic belonged to the apprenticeship system.That is, the magician took a fancy to the gifted children, and then accepted them as magic apprentices, and taught them magic bit by bit.

The advantage of this is that apprentices grow up faster, and at the same time, they can learn more carefully because they spend a longer time with their mentors.

The disadvantage is that there are too few people who can learn magic. After all, a magician has limited energy, and the magician himself spends a lot of time studying magic, so there are very few apprentices who can teach it.

Although some magic academies appeared one after another on the mainland, gathering magicians together, and then recruiting students for training.But this pattern has not changed. As a result, the number of magicians on the mainland has been at a very rare level.

Until 300 years ago, Fenor was born. He not only became the number one magic genius in the history of the Farinos continent, but also single-handedly founded the current first magic academy in the mainland——Fenol Academy. The educational magic model completely subverted the people's perception of magic teaching on the mainland of Farinos.

Since then, the number of magicians in the mainland has grown explosively due to the emergence of the new teaching model of Fenol.In this case, Karan has made it clear when describing his own statistics.

But why does Feynor's education system produce such a powerful effect?

In Lin Yuan's view, the most important thing is that this system made it the first time that magic teachers in the strict sense appeared on the mainland of Farinos.

If the previous method was that the master led the apprentice, now it can be called the teacher teaching the students.

However, in Lin Yuan's view, this system is still full of flaws, the most important point being that the teachers are not professional enough.

Judging from the semester that Lin Yuan spent at Feynor College, although most of the teachers in Feynol College still love education and like to preach to students, they still have one thing in common, that is, Enthusiasm for the study of magic remains high.

Of course, it doesn't mean that as a teacher, you can't study magic well. After all, there are many teachers in the original world who have achieved great results in their own academic fields.

Besides, as a teacher, the level of oneself is higher, and there are naturally more things that can be taught to students.

The only problem is that Lin Yuan feels that the level of teachers in Feynor College is too high.

This is too high, relative to the students.

In the first grade round of Feynor Academy, the teacher in charge of teaching magic is at least a level 8 magician, while the average level of the students is generally only a level 1 magician.Asking an 1th-level magician to teach a 8st-level magician is like asking a college professor who studies calculus to teach elementary school arithmetic.

Not only is this a huge waste, but it is also very unprofessional.

Teaching students is not enough to know the knowledge, and the methods needed to teach students at different stages are completely different.For example, it is very easy to teach an adult that three times seven equals 21, but it is completely different to teach a 3-year-old child this.

Let a university professor teach the first-grade students, and Lin Yuan can guarantee that the grades will be terrible.

And even if it can be called Feynor College at the university level, the teachers there are really average in Lin Yuan's opinion.It's not that they are not proficient in magic, but that they are not proficient in education.

Perhaps this should be attributed more to the problem of attitude.

None of the teachers at Fenol College, or even the magic teachers in Farinos, cared as much about education as Lin Yuan did.They are more often a magician than a magic teacher.

To sum up, it is that there are not enough teachers on the Farinos continent, or there are not enough professional teachers.

If you really want to reform education, then this issue is more important than the funding issue.

"Being a teacher? Sounds interesting." Betty thought about it seriously. "If I don't have anything else to do after graduation, I might just stay in the academy and try to become a teacher."

Betty's answer lifted Lin Yuan's spirit.

"Betty, are you willing to teach children?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"Teach children?" Not only Betty, but even the students in Class [-], Grade [-] were also puzzled.Although Mr. Lin often had some random questions, none of them were as strange as today's question.

"Yes, what I mean is, how about teaching those children who are talented in magic but haven't learned magic yet? Are you interested?" Lin Yuan continued to ask with some expectation.

"This..." Betty hesitated. "I haven't experienced it, I... I don't know."

Lin Yuan did not expect this answer. After all, not to mention Betty, none of the magicians on Farinos had considered this question when they were young.

Nodding, Lin Yuan turned to Joshua, Fermi and the students in Class [-], Grade [-].

"What about you? Are you interested in this?"

The answer I got was that only a few people like Natasha, Fei Li, Zorna, and Fiere were willing to try it. Some people, such as Fasno and Vince, clearly expressed that they were not interested, and most of the other people's reactions were similar to Same as Betty.

This result has made Lin Yuan very satisfied, at least it proves that many people in this world are also interested in education.

As long as teachers can be truly developed into a profession, then the problem of teaching staff that we were worried about just now can be easily solved.

Of course, it will take a lot of time to change people's ideas, and I don't know when it will be until an education system similar to the original world is truly established on the Farinos Continent.

However, this is not what Lin Yuan is worried about. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. Education is a long-term career, and we must not rush for success.

The reason why Fenor was able to succeed 300 years ago was mainly due to the influence brought by his identity as a great magister and the number one magic genius in history. Although Lin Yuan is now a little famous, he is not in any way. Might be as powerful as him.

Besides, Finol's reform of the education system did not touch the fundamentals, so it was able to succeed.However, the reform proposed by Lin Yuan is undoubtedly a traumatic one.

After asking the students this question, Lin Yuan revealed the subject and started chatting with Joshua and the others.

After learning that they broke up with Lin Yuan in Talan City, they resumed their life of traveling while working as mercenaries.Although he took on a lot of missions along the way, he never encountered anything as strange as the one with Lin Yuan.

Talking about that mission, I couldn't help but talk about that strange scroll.

"After meeting with the teachers of the academy, I asked them about it, and the teachers of the academy are not sure what kind of magic that is." Joshua frowned. "Just based on our description, we guess that it might be dark magic."

"It can't be helped. No one has seen dark magic for many years." Lin Yuan said helplessly. "Just like the Dragon Clan, they have disappeared together for almost 200 years."

Speaking of dragons, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking of his 4-series hybrid, and then Hawke and Sargeras.

"I also asked Dean Firnas this question..."

"What did your Excellency the great magister say?" Hearing that Lin Yuan had consulted the great magister Hawk Firnas, Joshua and the others were shocked.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "He didn't reply."

What Lin Yuan meant was that Hawke was attracted by his phrase "break before you build, lose before you succeed", and forgot to answer his question.Joshua and the others thought that even the great magister didn't understand this question, so they couldn't help frowning even more.

"Forget it, it seems that this issue is not something we have the ability to care about." Joshua looked at the sky and realized that it was getting late, so he got up and left.Suddenly remembered another thing. "By the way, Lin, I was in a hurry to say goodbye to you in Talan City last time, and there is something I forgot to tell you."

"Oh?"

"I couldn't find you at the time. When we went to hand in the mission, we saw the female dwarf who released the mission." Joshua had a puzzled expression on his face. "For some reason, she seemed to be very interested in you, and she asked us a lot of questions. But we didn't know much about you at the time, so we could only tell her that you were from Feynor College, and then she said that she would spare time Find you at Fenol College."

"Female dwarf?" Lin Yuan laughed. "Didn't I say that I haven't seen a dwarf before, it's just right if she comes to see me, so I can see it."

"Yeah." Joshua nodded.Although the strangeness of the mission made him curious about this female dwarf, it was not a big deal after all, so he didn't care too much.

After declining Lin Yuan's persuasion, they left.

Seeing the figures of several people gradually disappearing into the distance, Lin Yuan suddenly realized with a little bewilderment that their departure meant that his winter vacation had truly passed.

Turning his head, he saw a group of familiar and lovely students in front of him. The formal course of the second semester was about to start.
