53 Students and teachers(2/2)

"Okay, Lord Barres, please stop your praise for the time being. Morning prayer is about to begin, maybe you should find a seat to sit down."

"Okay, Lord Playa."

As a result, the rows of seats in the church finally received a precious opportunity to show off, and welcomed a long-lost audience who could sit down during prayer.

Obviously, such listeners are undoubtedly quite familiar with the process of prayer.

Sitting in the seat, Bares stroked his right hand with his shoulder. As little Andre gently tapped the small chime, the farming official immediately performed a sacrament gracefully, then closed his hands and lowered his head slightly. During the ten minutes of morning prayer, he always looked solemn and silent.

After the morning prayer ended, Playa began to teach the day's homework. Barres, who was watching, was still quiet, but the expression on his face gradually became suspicious as the lecture progressed. He even said "huh" in surprise when the lecture was about to end.

"What's wrong? Lord Barres..."

"I'm sorry, I've disturbed you..." Barres lowered his head and apologized, "Please continue."

"It's okay, you tell me."

"That's it..." Barres frowned: "If I heard it right, you seem to be teaching your students how to add up the numbers?"

"Of course, you are a farming official, this is your expert."

"If I remember correctly, Andre and Loss seem to be only thirteen or fourteen years old?"

"That's right."

"In this way... at such a young age, I started to learn such difficult content..." The farming officer frowned deeply: "...Is it...Is it...Is it... Maybe... Maybe it's too... too... too... too... too..."

"Maybe it's outrageous?"

"No, maybe it's too early." Barres shook his head and changed to a more euphemistic statement.

"It's too early..." Playa couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing Barres's thoughts very well.

At first, it was discovered that Los Little and Andrei had only taken ten days to master the time from counting to fifty, and then they could count from counting to one hundred in just five days. During the full half month of teaching, Playa was exactly the same as the farmer's expression at this time.

This is indeed a very amazing speed.

After all, the educational methods in the medieval world were quite backward, and there was no concept of "educational methods" at all. The inheritance of knowledge still stayed in the apprenticeship model. A pastor may only teach one or two students throughout his life, and there is no accumulation of experience or summary of methods at all. The teaching method can only rely on intuition. The only experience is the vague memory of his own study more than ten years ago or even decades ago.

It is conceivable that even in the earth world, if a newly enrolled student is thrown into a school, classroom, classmates, textbooks, and homework, most of the people they come into contact with are completely illiterate. The only source of knowledge is only a semi-illiterate, with no teaching experience at all, and has not received any teaching education. At the same time, the charlatan teacher who only educates ten minutes a day, if he can master the high-end technology from counting to one hundred in just five days, everyone must sincerely call him a genius.

However, I also have no teaching experience and have not received any teaching education. Although Playa felt that Wu Qingchen and Andrei were too fast to learn arithmetic, they were not too shocked because they had no comparison partner and their memories of studying back then were too long.

In any case, learning quickly is not a bad thing.

"Is it early or not..." While recalling a little, Playa waved his hand and signaled Wu Qingchen and Little Andre to stand in front of the farming officer: "His Excellency Barres, maybe you should ask yourself."

"Oh?" Barres turned his gaze to the two students in front of him and started the exam directly: "There are fifteen seats on the left and thirteen seats on the right. How many seats are there in total?"

"Fifteen...thirteen...thirteen...thirteen..." Little Andre looked up at the roof, muttering something, and finally replied after a while: "Twenty-eight, there are twenty-eight seats in total."

"Where are twenty-one on the left, fifteen on the right?"

“…thirty-six.”

"Where are twenty-seven on the left, nineteen on the right?"

"Three...three...or thirty-six?"

"Ha..." Barres laughed.

Playa looked a little embarrassed, "After all, I only studied for five or six days."

"Not bad, it's already very good." Barres nodded and his eyes moved to Wu Qingchen, "Twenty-seven on the left, nineteen on the right."

“Forty-six.”

"Fifteen on the left, sixteen on the right."

“Thirty-one.”

"Thirty-seven on the left, forty-five on the right."

“Eighty-four.”

"The answer is so fast? And they are all quite accurate... Huh? If that's the case, maybe, Loss, you can..."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Barres suddenly had a bright look in front of him and he quickly looked at the pastor: "In this way, your students might be able to..."

"That's right..." The pastor nodded, "But, it's just maybe, just counting numbers is not enough..."

"I know..." The farming officer nodded and suddenly asked Wu Qingchen: "Los, last night I saw a cow and two goats in your house. Do you usually go to stock them?"

"Yes, when my father didn't let me work in the farmland before, I often took them to eat grass."

"Do you feel they are obedient?"

"Very obedient."

“Is it difficult to take care of animals?”

"It's effortless."

"Where do you usually bring animals to?"

Compared to the time when he was taking the exam and counting, at this moment, when Barres asked, his tone became much more serious and his expression became several times more focused.
