Chapter 2 of the so-called stratification
When I was a freshman in high school, the math teacher assigned to my class was a male teacher in his thirties, with 28-minute hair, small eyes, and a smile on his part. But every time he laughs, I always have a sense of incongruity, embarrassment, and I don't know why. Because his surname is Fan, everyone calls him "Old Fan" behind his back.
Lao Fan is the leader of the mathematics group, and he usually gives people a feeling of clouds and mountains and fog in class, and he is not good at lecturing on the topics, in his words, "I don't teach you how to do the problems, but teach you why you do them."
To put it bluntly, he only gave a rough idea of how to solve the problem, and almost did not explain it in detail. The rest of the time is basically promoting his educational philosophy.
Of all his educational philosophies, the most admired is hierarchical teaching.
In the end, with his repeated efforts, the school leaders agreed to the teaching reform plan he proposed and began to implement hierarchical teaching. In our sophomore year of high school, we successfully became one of the first experimenters in hierarchical teaching.
Here we need to talk about what is hierarchical teaching.
The so-called hierarchical teaching is divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the students' academic performance in each subject. For example, if there are 40 students in a class, then the single subject score ranking 1 to 10 is the A level, the 11 to 20 is the B level, the 21 to 30 is the C level, and the 31 to 40 is the D level.
There are a total of 8 classes throughout the academic year, with classes 1 to 6 being science classes and classes 7 and 8 being liberal arts classes. The first four classes and the last four classes just form two groups. When classes are divided into levels, the four classes in the group are successively divided into class A, class B, class C and class D, and students go to the corresponding level of class according to their own level.
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English are graded, while Chinese and other subjects are not stratified and are still taught in their own classes.
Don't I feel confused, but what can I do, when I run around the classrooms with books, my heart is also broken......
When the first time I was divided, it was based on the ranking of the students in the overall score of the class, and because I was in the top 10 of the class, I was temporarily placed in class A for the time being. At the time of the monthly examination, the level will be re-divided according to the results of individual subjects.
In other words, if you don't do well in this monthly exam, you are likely to be transferred to a lower class to listen to the class.
Of course, if you do well in the exam, you may also be transferred from a low-level class to a higher-level class.
However, the facts prove that the difficulty of adjusting from a low level to a high level is like climbing to the sky, and even if you do well in the exam, you need the consent of the high-level teacher. And often, teachers are reluctant to accept such students.
Why? Because of different levels of classes, the content of the teacher's lecture is different, and the higher the level, the more difficult the lecture content will be, and the more knowledge points will be imparted to the students. Students who are transferred from lower-level classes are difficult to keep up with without this part of knowledge.
As a result, in addition to facing heavy study pressure, we also have to face the pain of class placement after the monthly exam. And perhaps even harder for teenagers to withstand is the frustration that comes with relegation.
In such an atmosphere, I really feel like I'm about to run out of breath......
