Chapter 208 Educational Reform

They put forward some new educational concepts and methods, which promoted educational reform within the Marquis's residence. However, this path of reform was full of twists and turns and challenges.

The new educational philosophy advocated by Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling emphasizes the application of knowledge, focusing not only on the transmission of knowledge but also on cultivating students' practical abilities and innovative thinking. In terms of teaching methods, they have introduced various forms such as case analysis, group discussions, and field trips, breaking away from the rote memorization model of traditional education.

To implement these ideas and methods, Su Jinxiu first reorganized and trained the teaching staff of the Marquis's residence. She invited renowned scholars and educators to give lectures at the residence, exposing the teachers to the latest educational philosophies and teaching techniques. At the same time, she also established a rigorous teacher evaluation system to motivate teachers to continuously improve their teaching skills.

Xiao Ling was responsible for creating more practical opportunities for the students. He established partnerships with some businesses and workshops in the capital, allowing students to experience firsthand the processes of business operations and craft production. In addition, he organized students to participate in military training and simulated warfare to cultivate their teamwork and adaptability.

However, the reform did not go smoothly in its early stages. Some teachers felt unfamiliar with and unaccustomed to the new teaching methods, leading to various problems in the teaching process. Some students also felt confused and resistant to the new educational model, believing that the pressure of learning had increased.

Faced with these challenges, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling did not back down. They went into classrooms, communicating with teachers and students to understand their difficulties and needs. Su Jinxiu patiently answered teachers' questions and provided guidance; Xiao Ling, on the other hand, encouraged students to be brave enough to try and overcome difficulties by sharing her own experiences.

Meanwhile, they also held a series of educational reform achievement showcase events within the Marquis's residence, allowing everyone to see the positive changes brought about by the new educational model. For example, students successfully planned some profitable projects in business practice and demonstrated outstanding command skills in military training.

As time went on, more and more teachers and students began to accept and endorse the new educational philosophies and methods. The quality of education at the Marquis's residence improved significantly, and the students' overall quality also saw a marked improvement.

But at this very moment, doubts arose from the outside world. Some other families and forces believed that the Marquis's educational reforms were too radical and might disrupt the traditional social order. They spread rumors in the capital that the students of the Marquis's mansion had become arrogant and unruly.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling decided to take the initiative to address these doubts. They invited representatives from other families and powerful groups to visit the Marquis's residence, allowing them to witness firsthand the results of the educational reforms. Simultaneously, Su Jinxiu actively promoted the significance and benefits of the educational reforms in social settings throughout the capital, garnering broader support.

However, this did not completely eliminate external hostility. Some families and forces began to unite, attempting to suppress the Marquis's educational reforms through various means. They submitted memorials to the court, accusing the Marquis's educational reforms of violating ancestral laws and demanding that the court stop them.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling found themselves in a dilemma. On the one hand, they did not want to give up the achievements of their educational reforms; on the other hand, they had to face enormous pressure from the imperial court and the outside world.

Just when they were feeling confused and lost, a mysterious old man appeared. This old man had once been a high-ranking official in the imperial court and had profound insights into education. He offered Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling some valuable advice, helping them find a way to cope with the crisis.
