The excessive triviality and fragmentation of law-related education has been a problem for years in junior and senior-high school teaching materials. These teaching materials are hard to comprehend for teachers without a legal background and ruin students’ interest in studying law, a key social mechanism. The Criminal Code chapter includes the three-stage theory of crime — which haunted me for a long time during my freshman year at law school. These kinds of teaching materials confuse teachers and students who are unable to digest the information. This shows that there is a serious lack of will to follow the spirit of the rule of law.
