Oldest Cram School (孔學店補習班)


Do you know that the Chinese scholar, Confucius, is the first one in the world to start a private cram school.

Why ? Let me explain:

In the book of 論語 , there is one verse:

子曰：「吾十有五而志於學，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳順，七十而從心所欲，不踰矩。」

What he meant is:

If you want to study in his cram school, first you need to pay $15.00 as the registration fee. Then you still have to pay for the class courses.

If you pay $30.00, you can attend the class, but no seat, you need to be standing to listen to his lecture.

If you pay $40.00, he will answer all your questions you have until you are no more puzzled.

If you pay $50.00, he will let you know in advance the next day’s quizzes 隔"天命"題.

If you pay $60.00, he will sooth your ears by singing to you or playing your favorite music.

And finally, if you pay $70.00, he will let you do whatever you want.You can lie down in the class while listening to the lecture, you can come to or leave the class anytime as you wish, or even not to come to the class at all as you prefer and still get the credit, so long as you don't act out beyond the limits.
