Bab 26: Chapter 26: Lockhart’s Educational Philosophy
"Professor Lockhart, are you also taking the Hogwarts Express? Why don't you go in now? Can you give me an autograph? After reading your book, I have many doubts in my mind. Can I ask you for advice? About ghouls, professor, can you tell me..."
Lockhart was watching a large number of young wizards pouring into the Hogwarts Express when he suddenly felt a chirping sound coming from his ears, directly interrupting his memories of his previous life.
Lockhart frowned lightly, lowered his head, and looked at the little witch with thick and messy brown hair who was tugging at his sleeves. Although he was unhappy, he still said calmly, "Little witch, please be quiet! Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!"
"Okay, Professor. I'm so lucky to have met you before going to class. By the way, after reading your latest book, I wanted to ask..."
Hearing Lockhart's calm tone, Hermione immediately slowed down her speaking speed, but a lot of questions still popped out of her mouth.
Lockhart had a headache when he heard this. He just wanted to be quiet for a while; this little witch was too active. Looking at the little witch who had questions written all over her face, Lockhart sighed softly. Then, "Silencio!"
With a flick of the wand, under Hermione's surprised gaze, a silent spell instantly made Hermione unable to make any sound. Suddenly, Lockhart felt a sense of silence in his ears. This feeling was simply too good.
"Don't worry, I will break the curse for you later, and I can also answer your questions. But... Take your time, don't rush, one question at a time," Lockhart said slowly, looking at the anxious little witch.
Seeing Hermione nodding crazily, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction, took his wand, waved it gently, and lifted the spell.
"Professor, I..."
"Before you ask any more questions, would you like to tell me your name first?" Lockhart quickly interrupted, seeing the little witch about to ask more questions.
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "Professor, my name is Hermione Granger. I am a second-year student at Hogwarts, Gryffindor House..."
As Hermione began to introduce herself eloquently, Lockhart felt a little desperate. He lightly raised his wand and cast another silencing spell. Hermione stopped talking immediately.
As if realizing her behavior was not pleasing, she asked timidly, "Professor, did I do something wrong just now?"
Lockhart smiled with some relief; she still knew that she had done something wrong. However, his previous life as a university teacher allowed him to say in a gentle tone, "Miss Granger, asking questions is good behavior. But don't rush. Take your time. I am a professor and you are a student. If you have questions, as long as I understand them, I will definitely answer them. So, think carefully first about what your three biggest doubts are."
Hearing Lockhart's gentle tone, Hermione nodded, and then a flash of thought appeared in her eyes. Seeing this, Lockhart nodded slightly. Sure enough, there are many problems in educating children. The best way is not to tell them the answer to every question directly. Instead, let them be guided, let them choose valuable questions, and even think about the questions and answers. Cultivating their ability to think deeply is the key. Of course, it can also make himself comfortable. Otherwise, there would be too many questions for him to bear, and he is not a question-answering machine.
As for this little witch, she is Hermione, one of the Golden Trio. Although Lockhart was a little surprised, he didn't care much. He had met Harry Potter and Dumbledore, but Hermione? She's not his student yet! In his previous life, he also taught some celebrities who were still in school. They still asked him questions, and he gave them homework. He didn't think it was a big deal. Just kidding, he is in the academic circle, not the entertainment circle. Does it make sense to think that he has done these? Except for good project research that interests him the most, everything else is just cloud.
Soon, as a large number of young wizards entered the Hogwarts Express, the flow of people in front of them dropped rapidly. Lockhart glanced at Hermione, who was still thinking, patted her shoulder, and said gently, "Miss Granger, you can enter the train now. You can continue to think and list the three questions you think are the most valuable. I will give you detailed answers later."
Hearing this, Hermione was stunned for a moment and then nodded heavily. She glanced at Lockhart and watched him walk towards the train, following closely behind.
Soon, Hermione followed Lockhart into the professor's box at Hogwarts. After entering the box, Lockhart looked helplessly at Hermione, who was following him. He pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for her to sit down. Then, he waved his magic wand, and soon, a cup of tea and a cup of honey were placed on the table in front of them. Lockhart picked up the tea he had prepared earlier, took a sip, and said to Hermione, "Miss Granger, please drink a glass of tea first. You just asked so many questions in one breath, you must be thirsty."
Hearing the faint smile in Lockhart's tone, Hermione cautiously picked up the tea in front of her and took a big sip to relieve her inner tension. After seeing Hermione drink, before she could ask any questions, Lockhart wanted to take over the right to speak directly and said, "Do you know why I asked you to choose the three most valuable questions? I have always thought that the number three is a wonderful number. It is neither too much nor too little, but just right. If there are too many questions, and in order to answer them all, we have to reduce the quality of our answers, which ultimately only reduces our gains. If you ask too few questions, even if I respond seriously, it will be difficult to gain the maximum benefit. Three questions are just right, neither too much nor too little, allowing every wizard to think carefully and give the highest quality answer. So, the correct way to ask questions is to ask a small number of high-quality questions. Ask too many questions at once, and no professor will be able to give you a high-quality reply. Do you understand me, Miss Granger?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little shocked by the concept Professor Lockhart had just shared. She had never thought so much and so deeply. She just thought that the more questions she asked, the better. The more knowledge she had, the more secure she would feel. Therefore, she always wanted to ask more questions and learn more knowledge.
Lockhart saw a look of thought on Hermione Granger's face instead of a look of grievance. He nodded slightly. This little witch is indeed very smart. Students like her in his previous life would only feel aggrieved when they heard what he just said, as if he was scolding them. Only those good students who really use their thoughts and listen to what they say will think carefully and practice it. Such a student, in his previous life, would have been enough for him to become his research assistant. In his previous life, he was relatively well-known in academic circles, and many graduate students were willing to become his assistant. What he said to Hermione before was his educational philosophy when he taught at the university in his previous life.
Control input! Everything must be restrained, stay sensible, and don't be greedy. As the saying goes: "Never bite off more than you can chew!"
