Fifty-four, familiar
The Admissions Office of Jingshi University, whose name is not big, but it occupies a large area, has an office building that is no less than the Department of Mathematics near the gate of Jingshi University. People who don't know what is going on may wonder, isn't it just to recruit a student, as for making such a big battle? Only those who know the inside story or have been there will sigh: The place is still too small to be moved!
The root cause of this lies in the slightly peculiar admissions method of Jingshi University.
The main department of Jingshi University enrolls about 2,500 undergraduate students every year, but one-third of them are guaranteed and recommended places. There is an old Chinese saying: "Someone else's wife, your own child." "Who doesn't think their children are extremely smart? Who doesn't want their children to go to the best schools? So parents who think that their children have a skill, but they can't get into the University of Economics and World based on their grades, come to the admissions office with their children thousands of miles to try to get a piece of the one-third of the quota.
Even the parents of those students who hope to be admitted to Jingshi University will come here with the idea of "multiple choices and multiple paths" to try their luck, anyway, it will hit their children on rainy days - idle is idle, it is best to be able to directly escort it, and if you can't guarantee it, it won't affect the college entrance examination anyway, why not?
There are millions of candidates in the country every year, and even if one percent of parents have this idea, it is still tens of thousands, which is enough to fill the admissions office building. What's more, those parents didn't come alone! Those who only brought their children were low-level, and more families of three or three generations of grandparents went into battle to turn a good office building into a bustling vegetable market.
There are still two or three hundred meters away from the admissions office, and Ge Juntian saw countless parents and children standing on both sides of the road, and the scene was no less than the train station during the Spring Festival. But they are like no one around, and they are in full swing to inquire about each other in various dialects of the south and north, and during this time, they inevitably want to actively promote their children:
"My son has been very smart since he was a child, and he can recite "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in the third grade of primary school, and now "Anthology", "Ancient Literature and Guanzhi", Tang and Song poems are even more memorized. The school teacher said that if my son was born hundreds of years early, it would be easy to take the exam. It's a pity that I don't take the poetry and song test now, and the college entrance examination only focuses on mathematics, physics and chemistry!"
"Your son is good, but he's a little out of the discipline, isn't he? My daughter is a bit out of the discipline. She writes very well and has always been a model essay for her grade. Since the second year of junior high school, he has published articles in newspapers and magazines such as "Literature for Middle School Students", "Juvenile Literature and Art", and "Selected Children's Excellent Essays", and has won the first prize in the National Middle School Essay Competition. You see, I brought all the copies of her published works, and it's almost a book!"
"Allah told you that it's not good to be biased. Now Jingshi University pays attention to balanced development, and their Chinese students all study advanced mathematics, and Nong knows that if you are like your Nizi and Nan Nan, even if you enter Jingshi University, you will suffer losses in the future!"
There are also many brokers shuttling through the dense group of parents like a forest, stopping from time to time to whisper to solicit business: "Sir, I think your daughter is very promising, but the materials are weak, do you want us to help you sort out and pack?" In the past five years, our Hengxin company has successfully escorted at least 15 customers on average every year, and the fee is very reasonable. If successful, the full amount will be charged. If you don't succeed, only 30% will be charged. Would you like to try it?"
Hui Chengze said breathlessly while constantly avoiding the crowd: "I haven't been here for many years, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before, 365 days a year, full every day!"
Ge Juntian took over the conversation: "Who let our school have limited educational resources, and all the people of the country hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes? As long as Jingshi University maintains its current scale and unrivaled position, it is destined to be an unsolvable contradiction!"
Hui Qiongju said: "Didn't the school think about expanding its enrollment? I heard that Zhijiang University in the south has set up two branch schools and one independent college in order to broaden the source of students and expand its influence, and the enrollment scale has tripled in just ten years. It's like our school, 50 years ago, 2,000 students were enrolled in each class, and 50 years later, there will still be 2,000 students in each class!"
Hui Chengze glared at Hui Qiongju: "Our school is cultivating talents, not doing business." If there is a large-scale wholesale of academic qualifications like Zhijiang University, then is Jingshi University still Jingshi University?"
Ge Juntian hurriedly relieved Hui Qiongju and said: "What Qiongju means is that our school's hardware conditions and teacher ratio are very abundant, and there are so many outstanding students in the country. ”
Hui Chengze shook his head: "Now that science and technology are developing so rapidly, and a large number of important achievements are coming out every year, why is the Sun Yuanqi International Young Scientist Award only awarded to a maximum of four people per session? Therefore, in my opinion, Jingshi University should try to maintain the current small and refined model, and would rather lack than abuse. Those students who cannot be admitted to Jingshi University can only show that they are not good enough. If they are really good, even if they miss the college entrance examination, they can still take the postgraduate entrance examination and doctoral examination in the future.
Ge Juntian has been teaching high school for several years, so he naturally knows the students' aspirations and hard work, and hopes that more students can enter their ideal schools. But at this moment, he can only look at Hui Qiongju and smile bitterly: Hui Chengze's views should represent the views of most teachers in the school, so I am afraid that Jingshi University has no hope of expanding its enrollment scale in the short term. I can only secretly mourn for three minutes for those high school students who are "not good enough"!
When I arrived at the entrance of the admissions office building, I saw several security guards blocking there, and idlers were not allowed to enter and exit casually. Hui Chengze took out his work card and handed it over: "I'm Hui Chengze from the Department of Mathematics, are you Director Yu here?"
The security guard opened the work card and glanced at it, and hurriedly handed it back with both hands: "It turned out that Academician Hui was here, and our Director Yu is in the office, please do you!"
When Yu Qing, the director of the admissions office, heard that Hui Chengze was visiting, he hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Hui, why are you here in person? What's the matter, you can call me directly, and I will go to your office?
"I've been sitting in the office for a long time, so I just need to go out for a walk and exercise so that I don't have to get my pension early. Hui Chengze and Yu Qing laughed and asked directly: "By the way, Director Yu, according to the previous regulations, academicians can recommend one escort student every year, I wonder if the rules have changed now?"
"It hasn't changed, it hasn't changed, it's still the same old rule. I don't know who Mr. Hui plans to recommend?" said Yu Qing, picking up a form from his desk and starting to fill it out.
"I would like to recommend a student from Huai'an Fu Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University, his name is Jiang Shuiyuan. ”
Yu Qing paused at the tip of his pen: "Jiang Shuiyuan, why does this name sound familiar?"
