When it comes to exams, there is probably no other region where students face the same amount of pressure as their domestic counterparts. Recalling when he was in school, a classmate once said that his friend was among the top in the city after studying abroad, even though his academic performance was mediocre.
At first, I didn't believe in this, but it wasn't until I came into contact with foreigners that I realized that the difficulty of their basic education courses was really not comparable to that of China.
However, due to the fierce competition and the relatively single track, the phenomenon of involution of our students has become more and more obvious, which has become an indisputable reality. Before the college entrance examination, the high school entrance examination had already shown its cruel side. One parent expressed his frustration.
Parents of middle school students: Sending students to vocational high schools regrets it, and the "promotion class" will not help. I overheard a conversation between two parents of secondary school students, one of whom has a son who is currently studying at a vocational high school. In fact, this boy is not useless, but because he did not lay a good foundation before, coupled with his average talent, there is only a slight gap between the score of the high school entrance examination and the public high school.
Originally, there were some private schools in the vicinity, but due to the relatively high tuition fees, considering that the parents were ordinary migrant workers, they couldn't bear to let their children go to school. Nowadays, the competition for the high school entrance examination has become more intense, and many middle school students are just a little bit out of the ordinary high school.
These students are reluctant to learn technology directly and still want to get into college. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of this type of school, many vocational high schools have set up "promotion classes" or "college entrance examination classes".
In order to allow students who take the college entrance examination to concentrate on the cultivation of subject knowledge, and at the same time to clearly distinguish themselves from the technical students who graduated directly, the preparatory class has been established. This setting is not only conducive to targeted teaching, but also ensures a good atmosphere for the preparatory class, which gives parents more peace of mind.
The parents were intrigued when they heard about the plan, especially considering that the tuition fees were much lower than those of private high schools, and she thought it would be a good choice to send her son to a vocational high school.
However, after only one semester, parents began to regret it, and admitted frankly: "Preparatory class" did not play a big role, and there is still a gap between it and ordinary high schools; It's just that I didn't expect the gap to be so big.
In the vocational high school promotion class, compared with the ordinary high school, there is an obvious gap, don't wait until the enrollment to realize this Whether the propaganda means of vocational high school are too fascinating, or the concept of parents is too simple, in short, until the son enters the school, parents have a deep understanding: vocational high school and general high school are completely different, even if students enter the promotion class, it may affect the academic effect.
First of all, there are certain misunderstandings in the cultivation thinking of "rather being a chicken head than a phoenix tail", and the key is to judge the level of this "chicken flock". The admission criteria for vocational high schools and general high schools are very different, and even if you excel here, you do not have a substantial advantage outside of school.
Secondly, the teaching goal of ordinary high schools is mainly based on the college entrance examination admission rate. They have formed a relatively stable training model, while the "good class" of vocational high school is only in the exploration stage.
Unless it is a first-class national exemplary vocational high school, the training experience of teachers is relatively limited. Normally, the teachers recruited by vocational high schools are not as strict as those of ordinary high schools. Even if students put in the effort, they may be limited by this.
From the perspective of the overall student population, the college entrance examination classes in vocational high schools are relatively small, accounting for only a few classes, while ordinary high schools require all students to take the exam. It can be seen that there are significant differences in the learning atmosphere on campus.
This is not a prejudice against the origin of vocational high school students, but in fact, the probability of "bad students" in vocational schools is indeed high. If you are an honest and serious classmate, you may become a thorn in the eyes of others.
Maintaining good academic performance is already a challenge, and ensuring that you are not bullied is no longer easy. One parent expressed concern that her son's personality had become even duller than before when he entered a vocational high school; Perhaps he himself can feel that the teaching level and campus atmosphere are completely different from the previous junior high school.
What worries parents even more is that such a state is likely to make it difficult to get into the ideal university when taking the college entrance examination in the future. Although they saved some tuition, they felt that their original decision had buried some hidden dangers for their son.
For students who cannot afford to pay for private high school tuition, the only way to avoid this dilemma is to maintain good academic performance. If you were the parent of this boy, how would you respond to this situation? Some people think that the mother was short-sighted and made the wrong choice in order to save on tuition. It is not that the propaganda methods of vocational high schools are too good, but that parents themselves have such intentions that make them susceptible.
It was an obvious fact that vocational high schools were not the first choice over regular high schools, but she couldn't see this fact clearly at the time. However, it is true that the cost of education in private high schools is higher, and in addition to tuition fees, the usual miscellaneous fees and workbook fees are often marked high.
Therefore, for junior high school students with relatively ordinary family backgrounds, in order to avoid falling into the above predicament, it is necessary to realize the severity and cruelty of the high school entrance examination as soon as possible. Strive to be admitted to a public ordinary high school, and work harder in normal times, maybe you won't miss the opportunity because of a few points.
Many boys mature late in junior high school, and may still be in a playful state in the first year of junior high school, and fail to lay a good foundation for learning. Although it may become a dark horse later, due to the large gap in the early stage, the upper limit to be made up will encounter a bottleneck. Parents need to be nurturing and it is best to start with a good accompaniment at a young age.
