I Am the President of the University

"How's it going? What do you think of the Qingbei Youth Class, Team Leader Jiang?"

Liang Shi's rhetorical question made Vice Principal Liu panic and swallow a large ball of saliva.

I want to reprimand, but it’s really hard to say it. Liang Shi is a special teacher at Shuangshi Middle School and a real famous teacher. There are many schools outside who want to poach Liang Shi.

But Guanghua University cannot be easily offended. It is hard to say Guanghua University elsewhere, but the energy in Ludao is too great. The director of the Education Bureau personally gave instructions for this information conference.

Vice Principal Liu was in a dilemma and had to force a smile on his face, so he secretly kicked him under the dining table.

"Qingbei Youth Class?"

Jiang Lin smiled calmly, "Tsinghua North Nature is better than our Guanghua, but compared to the junior class, it's hard to say, right?"

"After all, we are both recruiting students for the first time this year, and our starting points are almost the same. There may be a gap, but it may not be that big."

Liang Shi couldn't help but smile. When he was about to answer, he was kicked. When he looked up, he noticed that Vice Principal Liu was winking at him.

He pretended not to see it and replied to Jiang Lin: "Team Leader Jiang, you mean that Guanghua's youth class is similar to Qingbei?"

Jiang Lin nodded.

On the other hand, Wen Dong and Yu Jing, who were sitting next to Jiang Lin, were a little agitated. Even in their hearts, they didn't feel that the Guanghua Youth Class could compete with Tsinghua University and Peking University.

"Not only do Guanghua's teachers compare with Qingbei, I'm afraid they can't even compare with Luda in this city, right?" Liang Shi glanced at Jiang Lin with disdain, feeling that the young man was arrogant and even tried to compete with Qingbei. ?

"I heard that Teacher Liang is engaged in mathematics competitions." Jiang Lin said lightly.

"Yes." Liang Shi nodded.

"I'm going to make a bold statement, Guanghua University's junior class is at least as good at mathematical training as Peking University's junior class!" Jiang Lin's voice suddenly rose.

Liang Shi frowned. Could it be that Team Leader Jiang has gone crazy?

Seeing the other party's confident look, Liang Shi suddenly remembered the news he had seen a few days ago.

His face hesitated for a moment.

"Everyone here must know the golden generation of Peking University, right? This year's Peking University Junior Class teacher is Professor Liu Ruochuan, but our Guanghua Junior Class also has Professor Xu Chenyang, and two equally outstanding young mathematicians, Professor Huang Xu and Professor Deng Xia."

Speaking of this, Jiang Lin smiled softly.

"These three professors all returned from the Department of Mathematics at MIT. Also returning was the famous physicist Professor Yu Dong, who also works for us in Guanghua."

"If we compare with the older generation, our Guanghua can't compare, but compared with the middle-aged and younger generation, it's hard to say who is stronger or weaker, Guanghua or Qingbei."

This is not an exaggeration. In the fields of mathematics and physics, a careful study will reveal that many experts are at their peak between the ages of 30 and 50, which is also the time when they produce the most results.

On the contrary, after 50, the energy begins to decline, at least in terms of innovation, the strength begins to decline.

Xu Chenyang is one of the best young mathematicians in the world. If he were not a little older, he would have a high probability of winning the Fields Medal.

Domestically, Peking University classmate Liu Ruochuan can compete with him, and others can forget it.

Liang Shi was silent, and Vice Principal Liu on the side took the opportunity to speak.

"Ah ha, we are discussing today, don't hurt the harmony."

Liu Shiming also echoed: "What Principal Liu said is that peace is the most important thing. Team Leader Jiang is really a promising young man. No wonder Guanghua would entrust this important task to Team Leader Jiang."

"Hmm...the privately cooked food here is quite delicious, but it won't taste good when it's cold."

There were a few people and mud, and the situation calmed down a lot.

At this time, Jiang Lin took a deep breath. It was almost time, and said with a smile:

“I’m inviting you to dinner today mainly because I want to convey the enrollment policy of our Guanghua Junior Class, and this policy has some bearing on everyone here.”

"Oh, it's still related to us? How do you say it?" Liu Shiming asked curiously.

Jiang Lin: "Guanghua attaches great importance to this youth class. As long as a student is admitted to the Guanghua Youth Class, Guanghua will give the student's class teacher a bonus of 100,000 yuan and donate 100,000 yuan to the middle school for school development."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Two of the four head teachers had criticized Jiang Lin before. At this moment, their eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Although there are bonuses for students admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, they are not as much as 100,000.

and……

Vice Principal Liu asked more enthusiastically: "Team Leader Jiang, is that everyone?"

"Of course, if there are 5 people, it will be a 500,000 yuan bonus and a 500,000 yuan donation." Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and said.

"I would like to ask the four teachers to give me more support for the preliminary test tomorrow afternoon. Anyway, just treat it as an assessment and it will not delay the students' review time."

"It's easy to talk about. After all, we are all from Ludao's education community. Middle schools and universities are all part of the same family."

"Principal Liu is right, no matter how big the matter is, I will explain it to the students in class when I get back."

There was peace in the box.

The meal took nearly an hour to finish.

Then at the entrance of the restaurant, the two of them went their separate ways.

Liang Shi watched Jiang Lin and the others leave with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking.

A whistle sounded behind him, and he turned around to see Liu Shiming sticking his head out of the car.

"Lao Liang, get in the car and let's go back to school together."

4. Marginalization of general education courses

Whether "general knowledge" or "liberal education" literally emphasizes broad knowledge. When Chinese universities carry out general education, a common practice is to require students to take elective courses outside their major.

Peking University offers five major categories of general elective courses, covering mathematics and natural sciences, social sciences, philosophy and psychology, history, linguistics, literature and art. Students must complete at least one course in each category to graduate.

This approach is partly based on the curriculum of elite American universities, the most well-known of which is the University of Chicago's "core courses" for junior students.

This approach is partly based on the curriculum of elite American universities, the most well-known of which is the University of Chicago's "core courses" for junior students.

The core curriculum includes three major categories of subjects: humanities, mathematics and natural sciences, and social sciences. It emphasizes the Western classical humanistic tradition, classic reading, and critical writing. It has a heavy load and high standards. It is by no means something that students can just put in a little effort outside of professional courses. It is passable, so students at the University of Chicago actually start to focus all their energy on their major courses in their third year.

"Spiritual freedom, academic freedom, and learning freedom." After entering Yuanpei, the first feeling almost all students feel is "freedom", but soon after, most people begin to feel "confused."
