483 High School Girls' School (Part 2)

Of course, neither Bible stories nor the Four Books for Women in China can be the main content of moral education in girls' schools - after all, it is a school run by modern people. Even if it wants to cultivate aristocratic rich wives, it must be modern style rich wives.

.Those ancient or Western old ideas can only exist as adjustments and supplements. What truly forms the ideological cornerstone of future girls' school graduates must be modern new ideas.

Regarding the moral education of girls, Hu Wen originally wanted to take charge of it herself. However, after she tried to teach a few classes, she found that the effect was not good - the girls were not interested in the content of the courses she taught at all, and they were far less interested than Wang Jiaojiao.

Makeup and costume courses are so popular. This makes Hu Wen very puzzled - she has worked hard and learned from the strengths of others to extract the essence of modern culture and compile a book that can reflect the characteristics of women in the new era as a teaching material.

Confused, she invited Aunt Song, an education expert, and Su Wuxiang, a legal expert, to take her pulse. These professionals listened to several of her classes and read the "On the Law" written by Hu Wen herself.

After reading the "Women's Rights" textbook, the two people expressed their opinion: Your educational goals focus too much on "feminism" - it's no wonder that before Hu Wen traveled through time, she was doing work to protect women's rights, and she always unknowingly

The topic will be brought up on gender equality.

"Xiao Hu, you still haven't figured this out: Why are these female students here? What skills do their parents want them to learn by sending their children to our school? And where is their future?

…”

Aunt Song, who rarely comments on other people's actions, rarely spoke this time, and her words were very direct:

"First of all, you have to know that the future prospects of these girls' school students are different from those of boys' schools - most of the graduates from boys' schools are destined to work in our group in the future. There is nothing wrong with accepting our ideas and acting according to our habits. But

In most cases, these girls will still return to their families, that is, they will still return to Ming Dynasty society - but the ideas of freedom and equality you are trying to instill in them now will have a great impact on their future family life.

Is there any help? When those girls have no financial income and have to rely on the support of their families for all their food and clothing, they use the ideas of gender equality you taught to deal with various problems in life and with their families.

Have you ever thought about the consequences of communication?"

"this……"

Hu Wen was a little stunned. After a moment, she whispered:

"We can also retain them...women can also play a role in economic construction."

"But will their parents be willing? It is one thing for their daughters to receive our education, but it is another thing for them to be exposed and work like men. Families that can send their daughters to school are economically disadvantaged

They all belong to a relatively affluent group. They don't care about the little money their daughters earn from work, but they are very concerned about the girl's reputation - because it will affect whether she can find a good husband in the future."

"Yes, for girls in this era, getting a good marriage is the most important issue for themselves and their parents. If our education cannot help them in this regard, it may even have the opposite effect.

If so, the girls' school won't be able to run for long, and it might just attract resentment."

Su Wuxiang put forward more pointed opinions, which made Hu Wen a little unconvinced:

"How come it has the opposite effect? ​​At least it can let them know that they need to be self-reliant..."

"Without financial stability, what can we do if we are ideologically obsessed? It will only produce unrealistic ideas, which will only worsen our own situation. Besides, Sister Hu, let me tell you that I am not afraid of your anger - we are one hundred and thirty

Thirty-four of the nine people are women, but how many of them can really go out and stand alone?... In politics, it is you, in economics, it is Sister Julie, in science and technology, there is Dr. Feng - but it is only you.

There are three of them, and if there is no situation opened by them, and Captain Tang and his army are backing him, will Wang Pu and the others listen to what you say?"

“Everyone is relying on collective strength to support us.”

Hu Wen said unhappy, but Miss Su was a lawyer, and the next sentence left her speechless:

"But what will those girls do after they return home? Do you still plan to ask Qiong Haijun to go door to door to support those female students? Not to mention that their opponents are likely to be their own fathers, mothers, parents-in-law..."

Hu Wen found that her ideals had hit a wall in front of reality, which made Hu Wen feel a little frustrated. With no choice but to do so, she had no choice but to agree not to take moral education courses in person, but to hand over this work to Su Wuxiang.

Since Su Wuxiang dared to accuse Hu Wen of wrong teaching direction, of course she had already thought of her own path - after all, the atmosphere of "whoever proposes it will implement it" is still very strong in Qiong Haijun. Since you say that the other party is not good, you can't.

Always come up with the right thing.

Su Wuxiang's approach to educating girls is indeed completely different from Hu Wen's. She does not pursue equality between men and women at all. Instead, she believes that there should be big differences between men and women - boys should be masculine, and girls should naturally be

Try to be as feminine as possible.

She also found a book for herself to use as a lecture material, but it was not written by herself, but was written by a well-known women's university president in modern Japan, called "Female Character". The author of this book came from

Starting with the details, from clothing to lifestyle, it can be roughly divided into: etiquette and character; noble speech and conversation; tasteful clothing; tasteful daily life; noble interpersonal relationships; noble behavior; tasteful lifestyle

Waiting for seven chapters... The book contains details ranging from the choice and matching of clothing to general principles of life and correct ethics and ethics. It can be said to be a book about how to cultivate a strong, beautiful and wise new era.

A guide to feminine charm.

Of course, there must be a big difference between the guide for attractive women in modern society and the code for ladies in the Ming Dynasty. They are very different in terms of dressing, daily behavior, dealing with others, and moral ethics. But Miss Su is not the same.

Will she foolishly follow the book? What a lawyer is best at is grasping the essence of the problem. She only needs to take the connotation and clearly explain the principles in the book to the students.

The effect after the adjustment is indeed very good. After all, no matter what era, women's attractive characteristics are actually the same. Now Teacher Su can finally attract students to the point of being packed every time she lectures. Even Zhang Xiaomei and other tomboys like Zhang Xiaomei every time

At this time, I can sit through a class honestly and listen without blinking.

…………

In addition to ideological education, various other subjects in girls' schools have also gradually improved. Hu Wen accepted the previous lessons and discussed with Aunt Song, Lawyer Su and others to set up courses based on the actual requirements of society for women at that time. After screening

After consultation, the following courses were finally determined:

Housekeeping and employee servant management; family financial management; basic procedures for various weddings, banquets and folk sacrifices; initial enlightenment education for children... In addition, there is a non-public physiological hygiene knowledge, as well as nursing courses during menstruation, pregnancy and infant health care.

——This course was added in response to the strong request of the medical group. Because at that time, there were many women suffering from gynecological diseases due to incorrect hygiene habits. The high mortality rate during childbirth was also closely related to this.

At first I didn't think much of it, but after the subjects were listed, even Hu Wen and others were shocked - the requirements for women in this era are really not low, and they are almost equivalent to the general manager of a small comprehensive enterprise.

In this era, some well-established aristocratic families already had relatively standardized female education. Girls in the family began to learn the above-mentioned things at a very young age. When they got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they would naturally be able to do it with ease - at that time, everyone loved to marry rich men.

This is also the reason for women.

But after all, this kind of family education is still a small-scale, informal family workshop. According to the habits and specialties of each family, the abilities of the children they teach also have different strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, not every family has the financial resources, knowledge, and knowledge.

As well as being able to find a suitable elder to educate their daughters. These days, most families still focus on boys and mostly let women have their own way - the famous Wang Xifeng in "A Dream of Red Mansions" was born in what is known as the "Dream of Red Mansions".

The official family, one of the four major families, learned to manage housework but was illiterate. This shows that the family's education for women at that time still had great flaws.

For example, most of the first batch of families who dared to send their daughters to study in girls' schools had some money and some knowledge at home, or they were very fond of their daughters and wanted to let their daughters receive an education.

But he didn't know how to teach them. So he sent his daughter to Shorthair - thinking that Shorthair was very good at anything he did. I wonder how he would do if he built a school to recruit female students?

This first group of people were all taking a gamble - just a year or two later, when these female students graduated from girls' schools and returned home, their parents were surprised to find that their daughters seemed to have completely changed.

Yes, whether it is conversation, knowledge, personality, temperament, or dress, they are definitely not what a small family like them can cultivate. Looking at their manners and demeanor, she can probably be a daughter-in-law in a prince's house.

.

As a result, the "employment" situation of this first batch of girls' school graduates is very good, and almost every family has found an in-law that satisfies them. And after the girls' school graduates get married, their parents-in-law and husbands——

The "clients" were also well received. Later, there were even wealthy families who came to the school to seek wives...

Starting from the 23rd year, not only on the main island of Hainan, but also across the mainland in Guangzhou, Fujian, and even as far away as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, people traveled thousands of miles to send girls to study in girls' schools. The reputation of Lingao Girls' School suddenly became loud and clear.

What a tragedy, after finally getting a few more votes, I found that I was getting further and further away from the front...
