1. In terms of discipline, learning and thinking are very important, and New Oriental emphasizes literature. The core subject of learning and thinking is mathematics, and it is an old college that started with mathematics, so mathematics is good. Other subjects, such as Chinese and English, are basically expanded by the huge flow of mathematics, so they are also quite large. New Oriental started out as an English major, so liberal arts is better.
2. From the grade point of view, learning and thinking are more important for young people, and New Oriental is more important for the elderly.
Learning and thinking are from the bottom up in the primary school Olympics, and New Oriental is from the top down abroad, and finally meet and fight fiercely in the k 12 battlefield. Therefore, New Oriental University and senior high school are better, while primary school and junior high school study and think better. Because of bottom-up learning and thinking, the number of students in primary schools is much larger than that in high school universities, and primary schools provide a large number of cram schools for junior high schools, which is one of the reasons why the number of students studying and thinking, revenue and market value surpass that of New Oriental.
Therefore, this also determines the fundamental difference between the two development models. For young students, there is little demand for teachers' personal creativity and skills, only young teachers need to be good actors according to the established courseware. Teachers' expressiveness, affinity and even handsome degree have become the main factors of praise, which is why the "script+actor" model of learning and thinking is very popular in primary schools, but not very popular in high schools.
New Oriental teachers are better at teaching senior students, and have high requirements for teachers' personal creation and charm. Students will worship "people" who really have their own goods, not a screw with standard workmanship.
3. From the perspective of teacher training mode, learning and thinking is a script actor mode, and New Oriental is a self-directed and self-acting mode.
In other words, learning and thinking is a blank teacher+teaching and research system, and New Oriental is a system of famous teachers crossing the river by feeling the stones. This has advantages and disadvantages.
The characteristic of learning and thinking system is that the overall quality is relatively general. After all, the copywriting with good comprehensive quality is ready, and the teacher can follow, and the quality of the course is not much different. And easy to copy and scale, not affected by the departure of famous teachers. Higher and more uniform course quality is an important reason why learning and thinking can gain a good reputation in sturm und drang on the road of scale.
There is basically no teaching and research system in New Oriental, and there are public courseware, but that is the bottom line for new teachers, and we can't do too badly in class. Excellent teachers are ashamed to use public courseware, and the courses are basically made by teachers themselves, especially famous teachers. The disadvantage of this system is that it is a random event that you meet a good teacher, because there are many parents who trample on garbage teachers, which leads to the overall reputation of New Oriental among parents is not as good as learning and thinking. But the advantage is that the stocking mode of New Oriental has trained a group of teachers who are conscious and thoroughly proficient in the course from production to teaching.
Because the upper limit of self-study courses must be better than that of mainland products, after all, it is tailor-made according to oneself. Preparing lessons by oneself is conducive to structuring the underlying logic of courses, and speaking more confidently and fluently. The liberal arts, in particular, are very creative and stronger than a team that is absorbed and ingenious.
4. From the perspective of teacher development, New Oriental is to learn before thinking.
The teacher under the teaching and research system of learning and thinking is a reliable screw on the precision machine. Because of its substitutability, its value is greatly reduced. At the same time, it also stifled the creativity of teachers, but the company benefited from learning and thinking about the wealth password with a market value exceeding that of New Oriental. The company can rely on this sophisticated machine, constantly copy the course service with good comprehensive quality, and expand crazily under the strong endorsement of the brand.
It's just that the teacher has become scum. I have seen many teachers who graduated from famous universities become actors who read scripts and lack the ability to think independently and develop courses independently. Because there is inertia in the teaching profession, what courses you prepare for the first time are basically copied under this framework all your life, and even you are still learning and thinking wherever you go. Unless teachers have a high degree of self-discipline and a lot of energy to completely break themselves and then rebuild themselves, it is almost impossible during the intensive curriculum schedule. This teaching and research framework is not bad, but it is definitely not the best, especially in liberal arts. Therefore, I have met many "screw" teachers who are learning and thinking. They have reread the courseware on the platform for many years and have not made any progress, even if they are freshmen of famous schools in Qingbei.
Easy to use, easy to adjust, easy to mass production and replication. After the squeeze, there is no threat of leaving, and the follow-up newcomers will replace them immediately. This is why learning and thinking especially favor ignorant college students who have just graduated. New Oriental is completely different, probably because it started as a liberal arts, but standardization is self-defeating. It may also be because Lao Yu, who advocates independent personality, is unwilling to stifle the teacher's individual consciousness for cost reasons. Teachers in New Oriental, especially top teachers, don't want to be "screws on precision machines", but like a "machine". Comprehensive quality, strong ability to fight alone, pulling yourself out is a team, teaching and research sales promotion.
Take Chinese as an example: I work alone, and Yang Yang and Guo Jiawei in high school earn tens of millions of dollars a year, both of whom are from New Oriental; In terms of institutions, the top teachers of several major head training institutions (with more than 20,000 regular trainees): Youbao Juncheng and homework help He are all famous teachers with excellent personal curriculum system and unique charm.
The famous teachers under the system of learning and thinking can only be praised and get a large number of students. Without the system, the platform power is removed, just as the beauty leaves the filter, the development is generally not as beautiful as before, because it has been integrated with the thread of this precision machine, and everything is not so seamless.
Therefore, although the market value of New Oriental is not as good as learning and thinking, New Oriental can produce a group of famous teachers with bright stars and super high income (learning and thinking is not without, but obviously not as good as the former), and can produce a group of cattle principals who have started businesses like mushrooms after rain. New Oriental companies, managers and teachers can benefit together. Learning and thinking belong to treating people as scum and sacrificing people's individual consciousness and creativity to serve learning and thinking. With the so-called "specialization, standardization and refinement", we will completely cut off the way for employees to become self-contained systems, become famous teachers and independent portals, and make the world of learning and thinking stable as a rock. This trick is not poisonous.
