St. George's Primary School.

This is the name of the school Wu Ming went to.

After James paid his tuition for a year, he received a school badge, which was a voucher for entering and exiting the school, plus two sets of uniforms identical to those of students outside, and several textbooks.

Immediately, he was taken to a classroom.

"Classmates, this is your new classmate, Steven Sterling!"

The old woman from the Academic Affairs Office, who looked stiff and a little cold, personally took him to the class. After introducing herself to the whole class, she assigned him a desk and a series of procedures were completed.

Wu Ming looked around and saw that they were all little guys about seven or eight years old.

Because he has developed well and looks as big as them, he doesn't look out of place.

"Welcome new students, now, let us open the fifth page of the textbook..."

On the podium, a young female teacher clapped her hands, and there was a neat sound of turning books: "Today we are going to learn mathematics. Arithmetic is a wonderful knowledge. Everything has its own laws. Using mathematics With our planning power, we can make the boiler boil and the machine roar, unleashing unparalleled power..."

Wu Ming looked around. James had left in a hurry after sending him to the classroom, while the students next to him were listening attentively and memorizing everything carefully.

Obviously, those who can be sent to study here are some high-achieving students whose families are not very wealthy, but they grit their teeth to support them. They are quite precocious and know that this opportunity is not easy.

The school didn't have the slightest idea of ​​paddling, and the curriculum was very tight, explaining vividly that knowledge is money and knowledge is power.

"Rapid cramming education and high-intensity courses...there are no fools or paddlers here. After all, no one would waste money like this..."

Wu Ming recalled the scenes of entering the school and couldn't help but think of the feeling of assembly line production.

The entire school is filled with the same sense of urgency as a factory, which seems to be a characteristic of the times. Under the process of great development, everything is evolving at an increasingly faster pace.

Obviously, those who receive education in this way should be quite good talents in the end.

"Elite education..."

He sighed in his heart and found that the teacher was now teaching only the simplest operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He couldn't help but feel a little disinterested and opened another textbook.

These textbooks are newly printed, with the fragrance of ink, and are equipped with detailed illustrations.

The curriculum in primary school is quite simple, with only literature, arithmetic, geography, and history. Literature is a simple literacy course, and geography textbooks are relatively extensive. However, there is a thick history book, which summarizes the general trends of the world in the past thousand years. After talking about it carefully, Wu Ming finally understood the world he lived in.

"It turns out... the country I am in is the Kingdom of Golden Oak, a country that was once a monarchy. After several reforms and coups, it entered the path of constitutional monarchy..."

Wu Ming opened the history book, then opened the geography book, and turned to the page of the national map.

"The Bauhinia Federation, the Golden Oak Kingdom, and the Pandorne Empire are the three largest countries in the world. They have taken the lead in completing industrialization and entering the steam age. Most of the other small countries are colonies and commodity dumping markets of these three countries. …It’s just that the three countries also have conflicts with each other. For example, the last time the Bauhinia Federation declared war and faced off, peace was barely restored through the mediation of the Pandorn Empire.”

"The discovery of steam power is the greatest invention in modern times, and it has profoundly changed the course of the world. From then on, humans can conquer nature, conquer the sky and the earth, conquer everything..."

At the end of the history book, there was such an extremely arrogant sentence, but after Wu Ming saw it, he fell into deep thought.

The development of this world is very interesting, especially when it comes to steam engines and boilers. The efficiency and functionality have probably far exceeded the improvements made by Watt in the previous life, thus pushing the whole world into a more vast and bizarre steampunk era.

"Steven!"

The female teacher on the podium adjusted her glasses and finally noticed Wu Ming's little move: "I can understand your mood on the first day of class, but please note that this is an arithmetic class. Don't read textbooks that are not related to the class!"

She said with some sincerity: "I know that if you are sent to school by your family, you must be a smart little guy, maybe a genius, but here, there are many geniuses!"

"Do you know how many people there are in the kingdom? 152 million! And how many schools are there in the entire country? Less than 100,000! This also includes those aristocratic schools and girls' schools. With just one of our campuses, we cater to the entire country. Danube Corridor enrollment, do you know how many people there are in this area? How many geniuses are there? So, you are not special. If you want to become a decent person in the end, you can only work hard!"

After delivering a lesson, the female teacher was very satisfied to see little Steven compromise and put the textbook away: "Now... Steven, you do this question!"

Wu Ming looked at a simple arithmetic problem on the blackboard, but was quite speechless.

He stepped forward, picked up the chalk, and scribbled out the answer. The female teacher was startled.

"Huh? Steven, your arithmetic foundation is very good. Have you learned it before? Let us applaud him!"

The female teacher took the lead in applauding, and there was a sudden crackling sound in the classroom.

‘If I can’t even solve this kind of problem, wouldn’t it be possible for me to crash to death...’

With the teacher present, Wu Ming could not provoke any more and could only stay until get out of class was over.

Being able to go out to school means at least a little freedom of time and a little privacy, which is enough for him to do a lot of things.

As for these courses... no matter how difficult they are for children, they are just a joke to Wu Ming.

"Hi! You are so good at arithmetic. Did you see Teacher Linna's expression at that time, haha...!"

During the free time after class, a little guy with a black mole on his face came over and said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Vidi!"

"I'm Steven!"

Wu Ming tilted his head: "What's wrong with Teacher Linna?"

"Don't you find her preaching every time she comes in annoying, especially that part!"

Vidi has some comedy talent, and parroted Teacher Linna's words: "She is suppressing geniuses... The Neville next to him was originally very smart and lively, but after being told by the teacher, he now doesn't want to follow me. After playing, I only know that it is buried in the textbook..."

‘Isn’t that a way of making progress? ’

Wu Ming rolled his eyes inwardly and looked at Vidi's dress.

Although they were all in uniform, the exquisite and shiny leather shoes still revealed his wealth. They were a quite famous brand, and James seemed to have owned a pair like this before.

"How about we skip class and go out to play?"

Vidi encouraged with some eagerness: "The woods behind the school are nice. It's a good place for hide and seek."

"Just the two of us?"

Wu Ming glanced around.

"They don't want to play with me!"

Vidi made a grimace. In fact, he wanted to say that his plan to skip classes had never been successful. Every time, he was cold-bloodedly suppressed by the old women in charge of school.

The break after class was very short. After a bell rang from the loudspeaker, a young male teacher wearing a gray jacket walked into the classroom and opened the lesson plan: "Hello, students, I am your history teacher, and I want to tell you today …”

The entire school curriculum is almost cramming. The teachers teach everything quickly and get the rewards they deserve. Most of them refuse to answer any questions except in class.

Each lesson is also based on progress. If you miss it, you have missed it and will never be taught again. The real learning results depend on self-consciousness.

In such a course, as long as you don't skip class, most teachers will ignore you.

And this also highlights the difference between Teacher Linna. This young female teacher seems to be very responsible, but there is a slight problem with her education method.

"In a perfect social system, if you want to climb to the top, besides getting rich overnight, the best way is to study..."

Through what he saw and heard in the school for a day, combined with what he had learned before, Wu Ming suddenly had an understanding of the educational operation model here.

St. George's Primary School is a five-year junior school. If you graduate successfully and pass the assessment, you can go directly to the middle school. After three years, those who graduate can basically get a good job in society based on their knowledge. .

Of course, this is the worst way.

After completing the secondary school, most students can also choose to take exams and participate in the recruitment examinations held by various colleges.

Such as the Royal Police College, comprehensive universities, and military academies, etc.

To participate in the selection of these schools, a high school diploma is one of the necessary prerequisites. I heard that the elimination rate is very high, but once you succeed, you will be a decent person immediately after you come out.

Graduates from the police academy can serve as inspectors, and graduates from the military academy can directly become officers.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to successfully pass this kind of exam, not to mention that the admission rate of some aristocratic schools is completely different from that of ordinary middle schools, and there are also special recommendation quotas.

"Are you going to stay in school like this for more than ten years?"

Although James and his wife definitely wanted him to embark on such a path, for Wu Ming, it was still quite a pain in the ass.

"Actually, many people drop out of school before finishing elementary school. After graduating from middle school, most can get good jobs. After all, only a few are really willing to work hard..."

Now I enter school at the age of seven or eight, and after graduating from middle school, I will be fifteen or sixteen years old. I am considered a young adult and an important labor force in the family.

After all, there are only a few who can really have spare money to provide higher-level education.

Wu Ming knew the plans of James and his wife, because the talent he had shown seemed to cultivate himself in this area.
