Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is an educational thought formed and implemented by Confucius thousands of years ago, which has deeply influenced the students of later generations. No matter before or now, this educational thought has far-reaching educational significance.
Before Confucius, the social atmosphere at that time had always been "learning to be an excellent official". Education is a patent of the upper class and has always been "superior", that is to say, the right to education is always in the hands of a few nobles. In such a historical environment, ordinary people have no right to education at all, and the spread of culture is extremely slow.
It is precisely because of this that Confucius put forward the educational concept of teaching without class, which shows its great significance. Confucius took the lead in putting forward the progressive slogan of "teaching without class", which broke the framework of "learning lies in officials" and interrupted the monopoly of nobles on knowledge in a certain sense.
In this way, the social status of private schools has been improved and the educational scope of working people has been broadened.
According to records, Confucius' students can learn from Confucius as long as they give him ten pieces of dried meat as a teacher's gift.
The idea of "teaching without class" is the general outline of Confucius' whole educational thought system. In Confucius' view, no matter who he is, he can be educated, he can be a good person, and he should be educated equally. Confucius was the first person to run a private school in history. He doesn't care about rank, status or intelligence. Confucius will educate them as long as he is willing to learn with an open mind.
Confucius has three thousand disciples and seventy sages. Among the seventy sages, there are four nobles: Meng, Nangong, Meng and Sima Niu. Yan Lu, Yan Hui, Zhong Gong and others belong to the urban poor and the bottom people. Even the "Fu Liang thief" like Yan Zhuoju was included in the door wall. As Confucius said, as long as you give me some small gifts, I have never failed to teach.
Confucius taught students different knowledge, intelligence and learning attitude. Confucius can also teach students in accordance with their aptitude. For example, Yan Hui and Zi Gong are sensitive, but Gao Chai and Zeng Shen are poor in intelligence. But after Confucius' education, they all achieved something in the end. Their age is not limited, some are several years younger than Confucius, and some are dozens of years older than Confucius. Confucius did not discriminate against them because of their moral defects, but accepted them as disciples, and they all became Confucius' best students later.
In Confucius' view, no matter what your background is, I will teach you; But I will give you different education methods and cultivate different talents according to your specific situation.
But today's education, or education practitioners, is not all like this. Some teachers look at other people's dishes, students' origins, and even how many benefits students have given themselves. In the teaching content, it is also the theory of fractions. In other words, they pay more attention to the content of teaching exams, but these contents are not necessarily useful things.
