Character life:
Quintilian (about 35-95) was the most accomplished educator in Rome in the/kloc-0 century. He was born in Spain, and his father taught eloquence in Rome, which is quite famous. When quintilian was a teenager, he went to Rome with his father to study and receive eloquence education. He has been a lawyer for 10 years.
In 70 AD, he was appointed as the director of a national Latin rhetoric school. Because of his attainments in eloquence and outstanding achievements in running a school, he became the first teacher of the lecture when the Roman Empire set up a lecture on eloquence paid by the state in 78 AD. Quentin worked in Latin rhetoric school for about 20 years and retired around 90 AD.
Educational philosophy:
In the book Principles of Eloquence, quintilian not only reflected the reality of Roman school education in the two hundred years around A.D., but also systematically expounded the educational thought of cultivating public speakers. Like Cicero, he thinks that an ideal speaker must be a kind person first, and a moral life is much more important than flowery rhetoric.
He has great confidence in education and believes that educators should see that children have unlimited potential and development possibilities. Naturally, the quality of talent is very important in learning, but we can't complain that only a few people have the ability to receive education, while most people are slow.
