The college entrance examination is like the stars holding the moon, and thousands of troops and horses are rushing across the single-plank bridge, which is by no means an exaggeration. Getting into university is not an uncommon feat, and the competition is more intense than ever for the institutions and highly sought-after majors that are in the competition.
The arena of the college entrance examination not only tests students' grades, but also integrates many other factors, such as application intentions, policy advantages, examination paths, and so on. Every small difference can make a student miss out on the university of their dreams, and parents have to think carefully to ensure that their students have a bright future.
Art exams have become an alternative for many parents to prepare for their children. Nowadays, the improvement of material living standards has made parents pay more attention to education, and the scope of education has long gone beyond a single cultural course to cover art, sports and other aspects. Cultivating artistic talent from an early age is regarded as a college entrance examination road favored by parents.
There are many art schools in China, and even top universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University also offer art and sports majors. As we all know, the cultural requirements for art candidates are relatively low. Before the reform of the new college entrance examination, students with a score of 400 may only be able to enter a junior college under the traditional examination system, but in the art examination system, the same score is enough for students to enter a prestigious art college and have a prominent status.
For candidates with a score of more than 300 points, applying for a first-class college is a reluctant choice, but choosing the art examination can get a good undergraduate opportunity. This glaring disparity is heartwarming for many parents, especially those of students who did not do well in high school culture classes. In search of a way, these parents have asked around for a temporary solution.
In addition, it is well known that art schools usually recruit students in early batches. Even if the candidate fails to pass the art examination, this will not have a negative impact on the subsequent normal voluntary filling. Compared with ordinary students, this is equivalent to providing candidates with an additional opportunity, which can be described as an opportunity for "resurrection". As a result, art exams are seen as an alternative path for many parents to prepare for their children. However, with the development of the times and the gradual improvement of the fairness of the college entrance examination, is the art examination really a "retreat" for students?
I thought it was a way out, but I found out that it was a cliff", the reflection of a parent of an art candidate resonated. Whenever someone asks like this, Sister Liu always shares her opinion. Once, she also thought that the art examination was a shortcut, and it seemed very cost-effective to let her child go to undergraduate with three or four hundred points. However, once they decided to choose the path of art examination, parents realized that it was not an easy task.
Sister Liu is a vendor who runs a department store, while her husband is a worker working in a state-owned enterprise. The family conditions belong to the well-off level, and it is precisely because of this foundation that Sister Liu has the courage to choose an art exam for her child. After inquiring from many sources, she learned that the training time of art majors is relatively short, and the recruitment scale of candidates is large. Therefore, in the first year of high school, Sister Liu's daughter officially began to set foot in the field of painting.
Although the child lacks a strong interest in painting, she is still a sensible child and understands that her parents' intentions are for her future. So, even though the various painting tutoring and training camps weren't particularly interesting to her, she persevered. After three years of study, she had mastered the basic skills enough to cope with the demands of the art exam, but there did not seem to be a significant breakthrough in talent.
In the past three years, Sister Liu spent more than 200,000 yuan, and finally succeeded in getting her child into college. However, due to her average skills in painting, she was not admitted to a well-known art school, and at best she could only be regarded as a second school.
Sister Liu's vision was quite forward-looking, and although the possibility of her child becoming a painter in the future was not high, it seemed like a good choice to open an art training class or become an art teacher. However, she misjudged the extent of involution in this area. After graduating from college, her daughter used to apply for jobs in many training schools, and even the famous Eight Academy of Fine Arts directly rejected her. The work in the primary school, although the pay is poor, is complicated. Therefore, the road to employment for her daughter is extremely bumpy.
Like many college students, my daughter experienced a long career selection period after graduation due to poor employment. Eventually, she found a design-related job, but due to the mismatch of her major, she started as an intern with low pay and often had to work overtime. In this regard, Sister Liu deeply regretted that she thought that the art examination was a reliable way out, but found that it was a cliff in the end. spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to train, and now her daughter's salary is still far less than the income of the old couple.
Sister Liu's words reflect the feelings of many parents of art candidates. Some people used to regard the art examination as a shortcut, but now parents should also recognize the facts: the art examination is no longer a retreat, and like the ordinary college entrance examination, only students can truly love and go all out to move towards a better future.
The difficulty of art exams is increasing year by year, and parents should be more cautious when choosing. Nowadays, the difficulty of the art examination is no less than that of the ordinary college entrance examination, and one of the reasons is the surge in the number of applicants. Taking art students as an example, the eight major art academies plan to recruit a maximum of 1,000-1,500 students each year, however, since 2013, the number of applicants has exceeded 10,000, and some popular art academies have even exceeded 50,000 applicants. In such a fierce competition, candidates may be eliminated if they have a slight gap.
In addition, the art college entrance examination has undergone several reforms. From the double guarantee of the unified examination and the school examination in the past, to provide more opportunities for candidates to be selected, now the school examination is gradually canceled in various places, so that candidates can only compete in the unified examination, and the chances of success have become more limited.
The cultural performance requirements for art students, who are often criticized, have also increased in recent years. Want to get into an undergraduate university with only 300 points?Even celebrities are difficult to enjoy such treatment. Therefore, today's art candidates not only need to cope with the continuous adjustment of policies, but also need to pay more attention to both professional ability and cultural performance. Compared with the ordinary college entrance examination, this road is not easy to follow, so parents should carefully consider before making a choice, first to assess whether the student has artistic talent and ability, and then consider whether the family can afford the relevant expenses.
