Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 83, Section 81: Education for All (First Update)

"After entering the four houses, they are labeled with their own tags, which is what I mentioned at the beginning. In fact, there are still no conflicts between junior wizards except in special circumstances. It's just that everyone does it, so I just follow suit."

Secondly, this method also psychologically influences each student, especially during the Sorting Ceremony, which is practically hypnotizing every incoming student. The message is: "Because you're not smart, you're in Hufflepuff." This psychological suggestion is placed in your mind the moment you arrive at this house.

Perhaps it's just that your personality leans towards honesty and loyalty?

You were assigned to Slytherin because you crave power, plan carefully, and have a strong will.

"Look, this man is a Slytherin, so he is inherently evil, and the righteous Gryffindors should teach them a lesson."

"Professor Dumbledore, how many people in Gryffindor feel the same way?"

If you actively pick a fight and then have a few words exchanged, you'll see that you've become adversaries.

This is what is known as human blind obedience.

In fact, Salazar's close friend Godric described him as "a man with a sense of justice."

The more you study the history of magic, the more ridiculous you'll find the allocation of the four houses to be.

Hearing this, Snape nodded in deep agreement, but he would still deduct points from Gryffindor students when teaching them in the future, as this was a matter of principle.

Are Slytherins truly inherently evil?

Dali then raised another question.

During my time in Slytherin, aside from the fact that the people there were often sarcastic, clumsy, and sycophantic, the overall situation was alright and not as bad as I had imagined. Some upperclassmen, like Carol, were quite reasonable.

As for the claim that Slytherins are evil because they learn dark magic, you can ask the Dark Lord if he knows more than the greatest white wizard.

It cannot be ruled out that some people are born bad, but those are extremely rare cases.

Slytherin's behavior of currying favor with the powerful was largely influenced by her family and environment.

The environment has a great influence on the growth of a young wizard.

Rather than saying that the young wizards inherently possessed these traits, it would be more accurate to say that after entering these four houses, their thinking gradually gravitated towards the characteristics of the four houses.

Whether you stay in Slytherin or Gryffindor, you'll graduate a few years later, even though you're the same person, you'll become different people.

The story of Mencius' mother moving three times to find the right environment for her son undoubtedly proves how much influence the environment has on children.

Dudley's erudition left a principal and a professor speechless, as they had never considered these points before.

"As for Hogwarts' teaching philosophy, I don't know what Professor Dumbledore thinks, but I strongly disagree with it."

The teachers at Hogwarts generally don't care about the hostility between the four houses. As long as they don't show it too obviously, most of the time they just don't know, don't care, and don't stop it. In other words, they do nothing.

However, inaction is tantamount to indulgence! It is condoning!

This can easily breed darker aspects, and school violence or bullying can arise under such circumstances.

Attending Hogwarts is about receiving an education, but what is education?

"The fundamental purpose of education is to cultivate people!"

Education that only teaches knowledge but not morality is undoubtedly a failure.

Especially when young wizards enter Hogwarts, it is a time when they can rebuild their worldview.

Aside from summer and winter vacations, the young wizards spent much more time at Hogwarts than at home.

Seven years to develop one's values, and it's all wasted.

Look at Slytherin, it's practically becoming a training ground for dark wizards.

Perhaps if someone gave the order, they would all submit to his command.

This is Hogwarts, the most famous magic school in Europe, which practically controls the student body of young wizards in Europe. It's astonishing that so many people who graduate from here would defect to the enemy.

Is this normal? Clearly not!

If you told this to ordinary people, they would laugh their heads off.

Hogwarts seems to have taught a lot, yet it also seems to have done nothing at all.

You criticize them for doing things wrong, but you don't teach them the correct way to do it.

In short, the conclusion is that these wizards are simply uncultured and incapable of educating the next generation. They set up a school that only imparts knowledge but doesn't teach people how to be good people.

The values ​​and beliefs of the wizards trained are also quite diverse.

Dumbledore may have been a very powerful wizard, but unfortunately, he was really not very good at teaching the next generation.

These very meaningful words caused Dumbledore to fall into deep thought once again.

At that moment, he seemed to see a faint shadow of that person in Dali.

He couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Dumbledore had gone from being initially interested to now being deep in thought; he was completely absorbed in the conversation.

Although I felt that Dali was different when we first met, I never expected him to be so extraordinary.

If you ask Dudley, he'll tell you that he's just standing on the shoulders of giants.

The things he's talking about have existed for a long time.

"I have three strategies: upper, middle, and lower."

"The best course of action is to break the rules, eliminate bad habits, prohibit discrimination, integrate the four colleges together, unify management and teaching, and eliminate the barriers between the four colleges."

"Education should be provided to all without discrimination!"

"Education does not discriminate based on social status; it treats everyone equally!"

"Every young wizard is an independent individual; remove all the labels attached to them!"

"We not only impart knowledge to them but also teach them virtues, truly and wholeheartedly nurturing the next generation."

The voice was strong and clear.

If successful, the wizards trained afterward will definitely be the pillars of the wizarding world.

Integrating the four houses of Hogwarts was a bold move that even that person hadn't considered.

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"These are the rules that were established when those four great beings founded Hogwarts."

"I only have the principal's authority. I can only do this if I can obtain the authority of those four people at the same time."

Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, but he is only the headmaster of Hogwarts. It's not just a matter of authority; there are too many constraints on him.

"Middle Strategy: Reform the school system (prohibited words)"

The underlying principle is the same: to break the existing rules and establish a new order.

"Sorry, Dudley, I don't know either." Dumbledore shook his head again.

Dudley frowned, noticing that the great white wizard was actually quite hesitant in his actions.

This made Dudley wonder if the guy in front of him was really the most powerful wizard in the world.

After a moment of silence and hesitation, Dali spoke again:

"I have another option."

"Establish a disciplinary team!"
