Chapter 30 Some Unfairness Concerning the College Entrance Examination

readx;?“ I think about it, a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sometimes, I don't know what I'm thinking. ”

Chen Yadong nodded in understanding, sometimes he felt the same way.

Liu Wei asked, "Is our education fair?"

Chen Yadong frowned, this question is not difficult to say, it is simple but it is not easy to answer, at least for Chen Yadong, there is no better wording for a while. However, as far as China's current situation is concerned, it should be regarded as basically qualified, although there are still relatively large gaps in educational resources between urban and rural areas, but socialism is developing, and we must believe that tomorrow will be better.

Liu Wei said: "What did I get back in exchange for more than ten years of youth, energy and money? When I was in junior high school, I worked harder and sweated more than most people, and finally got the letter of the first high school. However, when I stepped into the gate of No. 1 Middle School, I saw countless familiar faces, the garbage in the eyes of those junior high school teachers, and they jumped in front of me with joy. ”

"Uh..." Chen Yadong didn't react for a while, and what he was thinking about in his heart was a little different from what Liu Wei wanted to express. Soon he nodded in agreement, sometimes not all of them talk about grades, money is king.

"I was like, 'Why is that?' No one answered me, and no one could answer me. Maybe I don't need someone to answer, I know the answer myself, but I don't want to accept it. So I'm angry, I'm resentful, I hate the school, I hate this society. It's just a pity that I'm just a person, an insignificant person. What can I change? I was told that at least I had saved a lot of money through my own efforts, that unknown expense...... Haha, we're poor sticks, dirt buns crawling out of some mountains where birds don't, we're going to care a lot about the money, that's astronomical for us. It's just that the money is nothing in the rich people's homes, and once it is a drop in the bucket, they won't care about taking out the money at all. How many people's efforts are they trampling on what they don't care about? All the sweat we put in can't be worth the others? A big wave of the hand and a splash of money. Then I'm thinking, this is the case for three years in junior high school; Then I worked hard for three years of high school and finally stepped into the university gate, will it be the same result? I worked hard in college and stepped out of the university, is it the same fate? ”

Chen Yadong was silent, he had never thought about what Liu Wei said. It's just that the reality is that they can't do even the slightest insignificant change, the only thing they can do is to adjust themselves.

Liu Wei said again: "Hard work is not as good as gold paving!" I don't have any money, and neither do my mom and dad, so I have no choice but to accept my fate. So I had to work harder to change my fate. Don't you think it's funny? ”

Chen Yadong didn't laugh, and he didn't think it was funny, he himself thought so. It's just that the phrase 'hard work is not as good as gold paving' sounds particularly harsh.

"However, many times I ask myself what else I can do besides knowing how many questions and writing a few words. Nothing, no money, but only money. Scores don't mean IQ, and sometimes I really think I'm a fool. What else can I do besides doing questions and papers day and night, after all, I still have to take the university entrance examination, and I can't relax. ”

This is not just his feelings, Chen Yadong suddenly looked at Gao Ming, and remembered that night a few weeks ago, it was also on this playground, he once said: Some people see that college may not be the best way out. With a surging heart, they are determined to go out of school and do something big. However, the moment they plucked up the courage to put down the book, they saw not life, but destruction; Not hope, but doom. They were always thinking about the college entrance exam, and they still cared about the scores, even if they didn't have much impact on his determination. They will be at a loss, they will see the light but they will not dare to move forward, and they will never be able to let go. It was like a big gamble, and yet they didn't have the courage to gamble it. Although knowing that not gambling and losing gambling are the same result, they are both nothing. However, deep-rooted thinking has restrained their steps, even if it is a million profits, they are also discouraged, but they are in reality, and stop at the capital. In the end, they will pick up their textbooks and seek a sense of peace of mind in the muddy.

These words were best confirmed by Liu Wei. However, he has lacked the ambition to become stronger, and he is destined to be mediocre in this life...

What about myself?

Sometimes I feel that others are vulgar, and I am just trapped in it.

Chen Yadong himself didn't realize that the once brilliant indignation had unconsciously penetrated into his heart and influenced some of his ideological directions.

Although no one accosted him, Liu Wei knew that Chen Yadong was listening, so he asked himself again: "Is the college entrance examination fair?" Some people say: In view of the huge base of the current Chinese population, judging from the current number of people, the realization of the college entrance examination is a more reasonable way to select talents. ”

Indeed, the Chinese population is too large, so it is suitable for mass production for the time being. Of course, this is not necessarily fair to people who have different ideas and opinions.

"Bullshit, the college entrance examination is just a result and a few numbers in the final analysis. And college admissions never look at the process, they only look at the results, and the result is the score, which is those numbers. ”

Chen Yadong said: "But these few numbers have killed many people's dreams."

Liu Wei asked again: "How do you get the college entrance examination scores?"

Chen Yadong can answer this question, he has heard people say it. "One relies on one's own efforts, and the other relies on the geographical location of the college entrance examination."

Liu Wei said: "Yes, even if you have never learned, as long as you can copy someone else's last time, everything will be fine." The college entrance examination is very strict, I think I am also a person from the past, so I can understand it somewhat. ”

Chen Yadong asked, "Are you a repeat student?"

Liu Wei nodded in acknowledgement. He added: "The invigilator in the college entrance examination is not like a supervisor, but more like a nanny to serve the candidates. As long as you don't go too far, it's better for them to do more than less, turn a blind eye. Because to determine a candidate to cheat, they need to come up with evidence and a few thousand words of explanation, who do you say will do these boring things when they are full? ”

Chen Yadong looked at him suspiciously. Liu Wei added: "The college entrance examination is not as sacred and solemn as you imagined. You'll understand when you've attended. Every year, there are always some unexpected dark horses in the college entrance examination. I have a classmate whose father is the owner of a company, and before the exam, he said that he had asked someone to arrange his seat for the college entrance examination. The front row is the city's top students. In the end, he didn't study, and it was not surprising that he put on two books. ”

Chen Yadong sighed deeply, he hadn't imagined that the college entrance examination was so dark before.

"However, some of them are not satisfactory, and students who usually work hard to do well in the exam are not feeling well that day or are nervous and perform abnormally, so they can only miss out on the university. It's just that no one remembers them anymore then, because they are losers.

Do you think it's fair? ”

It's not fair!

But so what? The college entrance examination only looks at the results and does not look at the process, and those people can only deserve to think that they are unlucky.

"Have you heard the teacher say that the college entrance examination is revised? If nothing else, I'll talk about composition. It takes us at least an hour to think about it and then write it down. In addition to establishing an argument and determining a center, it is also necessary to write a style. Not to mention that what we need to write has been limited (see: Han Han), even if I write it down appropriately, do you know how long it takes for the teacher to correct? No more than twenty seconds. What is the concept of more than ten seconds? I can't read it even if I wrote it myself. The teacher is not a god, but they can not only grasp the thoughts and emotions in these ten seconds to read it, but also appreciate the literary style and judge the score. Can you? ”

Chen Yadong was silent, he had nothing to say.

"The saddest thing is that no matter how good the argument is, no matter how novel the subject matter, no matter how incisive the analysis, all of these are measured by a score. Other than that, it's worthless. The voices of the students were ruthlessly ravaged and brutally trampled by them!

This in itself is unfair to students, so what else can we talk about?! ”

Liu Wei raised his head and took another sip of wine, although there were three bottles of water on the ground, but there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes. And he speaks very clearly.

He said indignantly, "Of course there are others!"

"Scores are the last word in determining whether a student can get into college and what level of university they can enter. However, the score is not completely obtained from the examination room, and the score can be 'added'. 10 points, 20 points are not conspicuous, but it is not trivial to add to the head of the college entrance examination, it has the magical power of turning stones into gold and transforming life. Therefore, if there are conditions to add points, it is ironclad to add them; If there are no conditions to add points, create conditions to add them.

The college entrance examination pursues the principle of "everyone is equal in front of the score", and it is clear how many points are scored on the test paper and what kind of university you can go to. Although fractionalism may not be a good solution, it is at least not satisfactory in maintaining educational equity. But that extra bonus policy is not accurate. In practice, it has quietly eroded educational equity. ”

Admittedly, this is true.

"It is always a small number of special candidates who can enjoy this care, such as provincial three good students, provincial athletes, Olympiad winners, small inventors, ethnic minorities and so on. The problem is that there are 360 lines in the world, and there are cattle in every line, and if you add points to the cattle in this line, you have to add points to the cattle in that line, otherwise it will be unfair. You're good at math, and I'm good at writing. You're strong, and I have a beautiful voice. However, in the bonus point policy, there is no provision for additional points for candidates with any special skills, so unfairness arises. Olympiad winners were given extra points, but essay winners were not; The little inventor added points, but the little singer did not.

We are students from poor and backward areas, we do not have the conditions to participate in the Olympiad training class, we do not have the conditions to carry out invention and creation, we belong to the disadvantaged groups in education, and we should be the object of preferential policies. Isn't it a deliberate attempt to widen the gap in education and create inequality in education? ”

Chen Yadong still laughed and laughed, but not Liu Wei.

Because it is a small number of candidates who enjoy extra points, adding 10 points or 20 points is so important for the college entrance examination, and some parents of candidates who are not eligible for extra points have begun to "create conditions": cheating. Needless to say, this is again some rich and powerful people, who are closest to power, or buy power, go up and down, and reverse black and white. Ethnic minority candidates can add points, so some people change the ethnic composition; Good students can get extra points, so there are fake good students; Little inventors can add points, so there are adults who help children "invent and create". The result is a misery for those candidates who are truly eligible for extra points. There is no need to give examples one by one, there are enough of them in reality.

It is impossible to change the most basic fact: the bonus is essentially to give "privileges" to some people, artificially creating a huge gap in personal destiny. And facts have proven time and again that some extra points in the college entrance examination have been completely alienated into "rent-seeking" by powerful families in some places.

As the naked students said, they can't lose at the 'starting line', but they lose at the 'finish line' unconsciously, the college entrance examination has not yet begun, and others have successfully obtained 20 points. Adding 20 points to the gaokao brings one person to heaven at the same time as sending another group of people to hell. ”

"The unfairness of the starting point is the greatest injustice, and the bonus points reinforce the unfairness of the starting point again and again. It is my dream to work hard to change my destiny, to strive for the future, and to flow "upward" through normal channels such as education, employment, and personal efforts. It is impossible for everyone with dreams to sit back and enjoy it, but fairness can provide opportunities for every member of society, and equality of opportunity can give rise to other equality. But when such dreams become a flash in the pan, when the unequal starting point becomes an insurmountable chasm – if this means despair for us, then what does it mean for society? ”

"Each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and it doesn't matter if others have frost on the tiles. People are selfish and think about themselves. So do I. When injustice is everywhere, there is nothing that can be changed by the power of one person alone. But some injustices can only beget a few. And this part of the people feel more sad than any hard-working student.

Twelve years of hard work was finally tested by an exam, and the high scores naturally cheered, and the low scores could only cry silently and shed tears. However, some people experience these two states of mind one after another, and this is what makes them sadder than others. It's not that they didn't get in, but after 12 years of hard work, they got satisfactory results, but in the end, they were not admitted, which is no different from failing the list. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Wei's expression fluctuated greatly. There was endless desolation in his eyes.

"There's a word for it, it's backshifting. (Withdrawal means that the number of candidates' files accessed by the institution is generally controlled within 120%, and the school specifically determines the proportion of file transfer, and the school decides whether the candidate is admitted or not and the major he is enrolled in, and is responsible for the interpretation of the unadmitted candidates and the handling of other remaining issues.) Colleges and universities will not drop out high-scoring candidates and admit low-scoring candidates for no reason. Generally, there are three situations in which high-scoring candidates are withdrawn: first, although the candidate's score is higher than the school's admission score line, it does not reach the admission score line of the major applied for and does not obey the adjustment; second, although the overall score is higher, the relevant subjects are poor; Third, the physical condition does not meet the requirements of the reported major. )”

Chen Yadong asked: "Are you a retired student?"

Liu Wei gritted his teeth and said: "I was admitted to XX University of Finance and Economics, but I was withdrawn because I did not obey the professional adjustment. Otherwise, how could I still be here now, reduced to this point?! ”

Isn't it just a year of restudying, Fan De is so excited? It's just that Chen Yadong didn't say this.

"Is it fair to back down? I would like to express my views on certain situations: First, if the score does not reach the professional score and does not obey the adjustment, then you should not apply for the school. If you transfer to a major you don't like, then you might as well not admit it; Second, the relevant subjects are poor, of course, it is very simple, the same is not a file, but some people have a full score in the relevant subjects, and other subjects are rejected with zero points, I want to ask what is wrong with our education; Third, if the conditions do not meet the requirements, the school should not put in the file, if the candidate really fills in like this, it can only mean that he has a problem with his brain. As long as you don't pitch, it depends on the student's next choice. There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, leaving a broader choice for students, which is also a respect for their efforts in the past ten years!

Someone has to ask: What should I do if the school doesn't apply and can't recruit people?

The school is a place for teaching and educating people, and its main body is the students, and everyone should think about the students. If a school wants to meet its own enrollment targets and complete its own tasks, but does not care about the feelings of being a dropout student, then the same school is too selfish.

Isn't there too much of such a selfish university? But who can deny that there are many selfish people? The environment makes humanity. Education itself is sick, how can we hope to teach sound people? When the grim reality is in front of us, our government's first thought is not how to solve the problem, but how to keep it under the water. ”
