Chapter 758

Regarding Cat Getan's vocational education, Victor, Schiller, and Anna have always been worried about it.

Victor is because he really likes teaching and educating people, Schiller wants to improve the overall education level of Cat Getan residents, and Anna, she feels that students from vocational education schools can provide higher-quality students for Cat Getan University's main college, rather than recruiting a group of desperate illiterates every year.

Due to the special geographical location of Cat Getan University, it is almost difficult to recruit good students from big cities. The high-quality students on the entire East Coast either enter Ivy League schools or go to other universities in Metropolis. Almost no one will risk their lives to come to Cat Getan to go to school.

Those who come to Cat Getan to go to school are basically those who have no choice. Those who want to go to college can only come here, and local students who want to stay in Cat Getan.

These two types of people are hard to have high talent and quality. Foreign students generally come from small coastal cities like Blüdhaven. Because they can't go to universities in surrounding big cities, they can only risk coming to Cat Getan to try. Students from such places, due to the poor local education level, have a poor foundation, so it's very difficult to teach them.

Local students in Cat Getan are even less worth mentioning. Local students in Cat Getan are generally divided into two types. One type is that their studies are actually quite good, because they don't want to leave their hometown, so they didn't take the exam to other places.

However, this type of student is the most orthodox indigenous resident of Cat Getan. They possess all the beautiful qualities of Cat Getan citizens. Therefore, although their talent is not bad, they are very difficult to discipline. Their minds are not on study at all. As long as they don't use their high IQ to commit crimes, that's thank God.

Another type of local student is the descendants of gangsters, which is relatively similar to Yin Wensi. Gang leaders don't want their children to learn any knowledge from school; they just feel that the title of college student sounds better and send them here to gild themselves.

There is no lack of good students like Yin Wensi here, but the number is really too small, and they put all their energy into operating the family industry. Coming to school is just going through the motions; it's impossible to study seriously.

Such a student composition makes it difficult for Cat Getan University to rank among the forefront of East Coast university education. To put it ugly, it's basically the bottom. It's just because the overall education level on the East Coast is not bad, so it barely ranks on the list in the United States.

In order to improve this situation, some Cat Getan University professors led by Schiller, who don't intend to jump ship, intend to start with basic education.

However, it is impossible to engage in compulsory education in Cat Getan. There is no soil for compulsory education and national education here. If you want more people to receive education, you can only lure them with profit. That is to say, you must let them learn a craft, learn something that can receive returns in a very short time, so that it is possible for them to enter school.

To this end, Schiller and others have long formulated a vocational education plan.

However, the opening of the vocational education school before encountered no small resistance. Since it is lured by profit, it will inevitably be trapped by profit. Too many people want to intervene in education, want to use teachers and students for their own purposes, and want to let the school teach what they want to teach.

But if they really succeed, then everything will eventually return to the starting point, and there is no way to achieve the goal of letting more people step onto the road of systematic education.

Therefore, this vocational education school must be independent of all forces. And wanting to do this is actually not easy.

However, Schiller has a ready-made point that can be used to borrow strength, and that is Cat Getan University itself.

Because of some reasons, now, this place has become his territory. All gangsters in Cat Getan know that no matter what happens, they cannot enter this university and disturb the students here from studying.

If the students here, because of their reasons, don't complete their homework on time, then something very terrifying will happen.

Since Schiller became a professor at Cat Getan University, this point has become a silent tacit understanding of Cat Getan gangsters. In the vast majority of cases, Cat Getan University is a pure land in Cat Getan City. Here, it can really provide a good learning atmosphere.

Since that's the case, why not expand the map of Cat Getan University and directly incorporate the vocational education school into Cat Getan University's education system as a preparatory course for Cat Getan University.

In this way, more children with talent can be screened from the civilian class to enter university to study, rather than relying only on those rare geniuses and rich second generations who want to gild themselves.

Moreover, vocational education students passing exams to enter university will allow them to acquire a habit of learning, which can well correct the rough and slipshod thinking style of Cat Getan citizens, let them use more logical thinking to think about problems, and then influence their next generation.

In addition, even if they don't take the university entrance exam, just graduating from the preparatory course can master a technology that can maintain their livelihood. This will increase the income of this part of people, thereby allowing them to provide better conditions for their descendants, and these conditions also include educational conditions.

In a series of long-term education reform plans, the first generation is actually just a test product, which can also be said to be a blood-making machine. Essentially, it is to screen out those more rational seekers, let their descendants gradually occupy the middle class of Cat Getan, and then carry out top-down reforms, which will become easier.

After the plan for the Cat Getan Vocational and Technical College was decided, Victor had been running the procedures. But because Mayor Luo Yi and they were in cahoots, and the state legislature really couldn't control them, so almost no effort was spent, and the venue, funds, and materials were all approved.

Before, Lex Luthor donated a new experimental building to Cat Getan University, but because the construction period was too short, more than half of it hadn't been finished. Only one building in the first phase was finished, and the Vocational Education College was placed in this new building.

Cat Getan University doesn't lack funds, so the hardware and software here are not bad, and there is a considerable amount of open space for practical operation. Ignoring the fact that the dormitory and classroom are only two floors apart, this is simply a perfect vocational education school.

After the school was opened, the next step was enrollment. Victor originally didn't want those people forced in by gangsters, but Schiller refuted his point of view.

Schiller believes that this time, gangsters won't force their own children into this vocational education school.

The vast majority of gang leaders are short-sighted. They will only feel that the money they have earned in this life is enough. Why should their children be so hard? Isn't it good to lie on their family's gold mountain and eat, drink, and play?

The composition of students' majors in Cat Getan University also illustrates this point.

The vast majority of gang children choose majors that sound better. Art majors are the most popular majors, and among art, fine arts, art criticism, etc., majors that sound very high-end are even more popular.

Most of the people gangsters will send to the vocational education school to study are middle-level personnel in the gang who have flexible brains. They don't need to patrol and maintain the gang's territory every day like bottom-level personnel, have enough free time, and at the same time, the requirements for technology are also the highest.

In a certain area, the management of tap water, the arrangement of electricity, the operation mode of cold storage, and the order of cargo logistics all need this group of people to arrange and manage. And precisely because they don't have such ability, gangsters are more anxious to send them to school to let them study hard.

After reaching an agreement on this issue, Victor also agreed to the gangsters sending students, but there are conditions for sending. Paying tuition is essential. At the same time, as long as the gangsters who send students in must ensure the safety of the school's school buses and cargo trucks, and at the same time provide the most basic material security for the vocational education school.

This process is actually the most time-consuming because it involves dealing with all kinds of gangsters, involving their own territory and interests, and no one is willing to loosen their mouths. After long negotiations, the admission list was finally decided.

When seeing this list, Victor, Schiller, and Anna all discovered a special name on it—Tracy Gode.

"What's going on? Doesn't the Gode family own a shipyard? They are also a family with status in Cat Getan. How could Mrs. Gode send her daughter into a vocational education school?" Anna obviously knows the situation in Cat Getan very well. She frowned, used her finger to support her chin, and said, "Such a delicate young lady, either learning musical instruments or learning fine arts, how could Mrs. Gode let her learn to repair cars?"

Victor also shook his head, looking a bit puzzled. Schiller didn't know what Mrs. Gode wanted to do either.

He speculated for a while and then said, "Some time ago, I saw their mother and daughter in the theater. At that time, Detective Gordon told me that the Gode family and the Witt family were discussing the engagement."

"If that's the case, then Miss Gode shouldn't finish college before getting married, but graduate from the church middle school and get married directly."

"Now it seems that the engagement might have had some problems. The Gode family might not want to get engaged to the Witt family anymore. But breaking off an engagement needs a reason. As long as you send your daughter to college, then little Witt couldn't possibly wait for Miss Gode to finish college before marrying her, right? This way, you can justifiably escape the engagement."

"That also makes sense." Anna and Victor nodded. She continued, "This can also explain why Mrs. Gode can't wait until September when the university officially starts, and has to send Miss Gode up in a hurry now, because if she waits until September, I'm afraid the wedding will have already been held."

"And, I guess, Miss Gode must still be entangled with that kid from the Witt family." Victor's imagination is even richer. He said, "The mother is not easy to force them to break up, so she can only send her daughter to school. As long as they are separated, maybe they will forget after a few months."

All three nodded, feeling that their speculation was reasonable and reasonable.

But at this time, Victor was a bit troubled. He said, "A young lady from a wealthy family, but she went to Class 3, which teaches car repair technology. Not to mention whether she can learn the technology, just those truck tires, she shouldn't be able to move them, right?"

Schiller snorted coldly and said, "Even if you can't move them, you have to move them. Learning is originally overcoming all difficulties. If you can't move the tires, don't move them; if you can't unload the screws, don't unload them; if you can't recite the books, don't recite them. Then what do you need a teacher for?"

"That's right, I know these young ladies too well. Don't look at them as if they can't carry on their shoulders or lift with their hands, as if they will fall if a gust of wind blows. But if you let them go shopping, they can walk for more than ten hours without stopping." Anna curled her lips and said.

"I don't care what her purpose is for coming here." Schiller tapped the table and said, "As long as you enter the school, you have to study seriously, must learn something, and be able to graduate. Everyone is the same. Even Wei En can't be an exception. Does Gode feel that she is stronger than Wei En?"

Anna and Victor looked at each other, and both showed a gloating smile. Obviously, they had both heard that Bruce Wei En almost failed to graduate because of insufficient credits, which was delayed by Schiller.

Schiller picked up his walking stick, stood up, and said, "Tomorrow is the first day of the vocational education school. I will listen to the whole class. Whoever dares not to study seriously, I will go talk to his boss personally."

Looking at Schiller's cold smile, Victor and Anna shivered together.
