Chapter 522: Repeating Incident
At the end of June, a middle school on the outskirts of Shanghai ended its final exams. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A first-year high school student was called a parent by the school because he failed seven homework, and the school eventually allowed the student to repeat a grade.
It is not uncommon for students with poor academic performance in domestic schools, and it is not uncommon for many students to repeat grades.
The reason why this student was reported by the media was because he was the winner of the first prize in the first New Concept Essay Competition.
The stark contrast between the scenery of winning the award at the beginning and the situation of being repeated by the school is good news material.
It can also be used by the media to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of quality education and test-oriented education, and whether schools should train generalists or specialists.
In this way, Han Han was pushed to the cusp.
In fact, the fact that Han Han won the first prize in the New Concept Essay Contest did not make him too famous, after all, it was only a composition contest for middle school students, and the impact was not great.
And he wasn't the only one who won the first prize.
But this repetition incident made him famous, which is exactly what good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
With his academic performance, he belongs to the ranks of poor students in school, and is a negative textbook in the mouth of parents, but such a student has won the first prize in the essay competition, and now he has to be repeated by the school, which is quite contradictory.
Everyone will have questions, is Han Han a poor student or a talent?
In this matter, Han Han just happened to be at the meeting, and behind it was the game between quality education and exam-oriented education.
Since the reform and opening up, some educationalists have put forward the concept of quality education, and the state is also actively promoting it, but the concept of examination-oriented education is deep-rooted and extremely difficult to change.
Points, points, points, students' lifeblood; Exams and exams, the magic weapon of teachers.
Scores are related to whether students can go to college and whether they can change their own destiny, which is a major life event, and who dares to slack off.
In '94, the state proposed that all localities should grasp the experimental zones for quality education, and carried out preliminary explorations, and by '97, the first batch of 10 pilot zones for quality education had been established in the country.
This year, quality education has begun to be a strategic decision of the state, and has entered the stage of national promotion, key breakthroughs, and comprehensive implementation.
Although there are policies above, it is not easy to implement them nationwide.
In other words, without the reform of the college entrance examination, there will be no way to talk about quality education.
Quality education does not mean that it does not pay attention to scores, but does not use scores as the only means to measure students, so that students can develop in an all-round way and cultivate students' creative ability and self-learning ability.
Criticism of the schooling model in China has always existed.
Some extreme parents do not allow their children to go to school and teach them themselves at home, one famous writer even wrote his own teaching materials, and some parents send their children to study abroad.
These practices are all resistance to test-oriented education and do not believe in school education.
This is a bit of controversy, and everyone thinks they have a point.
In particular, this year, the Ministry of Education has clearly proposed to deepen educational reform and comprehensively promote quality education, and the media has discussed it quite enthusiastically.
In this context, there happened to be an incident of Han Han's repetition.
Han Han is the contradiction between quality education and exam-oriented education, and it can only be said that he was accidentally hit by this era.
It was this collision that brought Han Han, a freshman high school student who was originally not well-known, into the public's field of vision and became a man of the hour.
It can be said that it is a coincidence, and it can also be said that such a character is needed in this era.
As a judge of the first New Concept Essay Competition, the person who strongly advocated for Han Han to take the make-up exam, a reporter called Lin Zixuan to ask about Han Han.
The media generally believes that it is precisely because of Lin Zixuan's persistence that Han Han was able to win the first prize in the essay competition.
"How do you say this, I don't think the media should report too much, he is still just a sixteen-year-old child, how much pressure does your report add to the child, can he bear it, have you thought about this? Enough is good for everyone. Lin Zixuan responded.
"Then Mr. Lin, what do you think about quality education?" The reporter changed the subject.
"Quality education is a good thing, and I support the promotion of it by the state." Lin Zixuan said simply.
"Now that there is still exam-oriented education in school, will you let your children stay at home to study? Or do you want your child to go to school abroad? The reporter asked.
There is a precedent for this.
There is a famous writer in China who believes that school education makes children have no dignity, and uses test scores as a rating system, and schools have no spiritual education, and quality education is a mere formality.
So, this person let the children receive education at home, and personally compiled ten textbooks, focusing on the cultivation of traditional culture.
In order to allow children to develop holistically, subjects such as philosophy, law, health, and self-help have also been added.
"There may be some problems in school education, but I will still let my children go to school, which can enhance children's communication skills, and I hope that children can have a healthy growth environment." Lin Zixuan said, "As for whether to study abroad, I think secondary education should be in China, and going to university depends on the child's own choice, and she should have the ability to judge herself at that time." ”
This is Lin Zixuan's true thoughts.
With his financial ability, it is no problem to hire a tutor for his children at home, and in the eyes of some people, family education is elite education, and school belongs to mass education.
But Lin Zixuan doesn't want children to be disconnected from society, and school is the last stop for children before they step into society.
In school, you learn not only knowledge, but also basic interpersonal relationships.
The media did not stop reporting on Han Han because of Lin Zixuan's words, and once the topic of quality education and exam-oriented education was involved, Han Han would be taken out as an example.
They don't attach much importance to Han Han, but Han Han has just become a synonym.
The reporter's interview with Lin Zixuan was reprinted by a number of media, and the comments from all parties were mixed.
Lin Zixuan had no intention of participating in the discussion of education topics, did not respond, and continued to be busy with his own affairs.
In less than a week, he received a letter from Hucheng, written by Han Han.
In the letter, Han Han thanked Lin Zixuan for his concern, and told his distress and confusion, he didn't want to go to school, he felt depressed in school, and he didn't want to see the teacher's disdainful gaze.
But I don't know what to do, and I am full of confusion about the future.
At the end of the letter, Han Han mentioned that he was writing a novel about his experiences in school, and he hoped to get Lin Zixuan's guidance.
Lin Zixuan sent a letter back to Han Han, encouraging him to continue to create, and at the same time not to give up learning.
For Han Han's novel, Lin Zixuan promised to recommend it to the publishing house, with Han Han's current popularity, as long as the quality of the novel is not too bad, there is no reason not to publish it.
If the publishing house uses Han Han to hype it again, it is not impossible to become a bestseller. (To be continued.) )
