skills, and he took the lead in teaching these knowledge and skills that only
nobles could learn to many commoners who were willing and eager to learn at
that time, so he was regarded as a model by many teachers of future generations.

strengths.

周王朝是中國歷史上第一個封建世襲的王朝。也是中國歷史上延續時間最久的王朝。
周王朝的貴族都要學習許多的知識。
根據歷史書的紀載，當時的貴族要學習的技能有下列六項。
禮儀、音樂、射箭、駕馭馬車、書法、數學。
知名的孔子就生活在這個年代。
他精通這些知識與技能，他率先把這些只有貴族才能學習的知識與技能教導給當時的許多願意學習而且渴望學習的平民，因此他被許多後代的老師視為楷模。
著名的(孔夫子論語)這一本書中，記載了一個有關於孔子的故事。
孔子曾經對他的學生們說。
我的學生裡面，每個人都有各自不同的長處。
舉例來說。
有些人在道德方面可以做為眾人的表率。
有些人具備很好的口才，有些人適合從政，有些人非常有文學天賦。
中國的宋王朝，有一對著名的兄弟，他們是當時最著名的思想家。
哥哥的名字是(程顥)、弟弟的名字是(程頤)。
他們的學生們記錄下他們日常生活中時的一些言談，把這些話編撰成一本書。
在這本書中，他們讚美孔子的教學方式。
他是一個會根據學生的天賦去教導並啟發他們的老師
這句成語就是從這句話而來。
這句成語的意思是因材施教。這句成語通常被用來讚美一個老師。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認同現在的教育體系嗎?你認為怎樣改善會讓現在的教育體制變得更好呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
