The normal students in the eighties were the worst, or is the current 211 comparable to middle school teachers and students?
The academic ability of normal students in the eighties.
In the 80s of the 20th century, normal students were seen as a group of students with poor learning ability. Taking the 1988 college entrance examination as an example, the national reference number was 2.72 million, and the number of admitted students was 670,000, and the acceptance rate was only 25%. According to the 1988 Hebei Provincial College Liberal Arts Enrollment Pitch Line, the score line for key universities is 489 points, the score line for general universities is 468 points, and the score line for provincial colleges is 459 points (Tangshan Normal College score line is 454 points), and the high school score line is 445 points. These data show that the results of normal students in the college entrance examination are relatively poor, belonging to"The last stream"Player. However, if you compare their grades with the higher education enrollment rate of school-age youth across the country, the acceptance rate for normal students is actually one in a hundred, and at least it can be used"Half"to describe. If we compare it with the national population born in 1970, we can extrapolate that the number of school-age youth admitted to colleges and universities in 1988 was 245 per 10,000 people. Based on the national population born in 2004, we can extrapolate that the number of school-age youths in tertiary education per 10,000 people in 2023 is 6905. Analyzing a set of comparative data, in 1988, there were 670,000 students enrolled in various colleges and universities in the country, compared with the whole country in 2021"985 "with"211 "The sum of the students enrolled in colleges and universities is 70290,000 people. It can be said that if you go back in time, the normal students at that time were fully capable of being the same as the present"985"、"211 "College students compete against each other.
However, this data does not fully reflect the academic ability of normal students. The main reason for the relatively low grades of trainee teachers is that they choose the teaching profession in a higher number and the entry requirements for the teaching profession are relatively low. As a result, the overall level of normal students may be slightly lower than that of other students. However, in terms of individual ability, there is a great deal of variation among normal students. Some normal students are fresh graduates, and their comprehensive ability and potential are often stronger than those of non-fresh graduates. Even if they are both fresh graduates, some may enter the normal major because of unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination, while others have better grades and become an unexpected joy when they enter the normal major. Therefore, the difference in the personal abilities of normal students will be more obvious after work.
Trainee teachers' performance in the workplace.
Graduates of pedagogical colleges in the 80s of the 20th century were the backbone of basic secondary education in the 80s and 90s. Graduates of pedagogical colleges are welcomed by workers, peasants, soldiers, cadets, normal students, and teachers of private schools. While teacher training college graduates are more popular, they are in smaller numbers. After graduating, I took three graduating classes of liberal arts in the No. 1 middle school in a city. At that time, most of the teachers in the graduating class were teacher training graduates. Many years later, by chance, I met an old colleague from No. 1 Middle School, and learned that most of the normal students who graduated around 1990 were rated with senior titles in 2010, which was enviable. Back then, when we were in the normal school, there were 12 boys in the class. Today, 4 of them hold senior positions in county (district) administrative organs, 1 has become a professional writer, 3 have served as directors of county education bureaus (schools), and 2 have held middle-level leadership positions in state-owned enterprises (public institutions). In addition, there are two students whose details are not clear to me.
Secondary school teachers are a group of people I admire very much. In the 80s of the last century, middle school students were mostly placed in primary or secondary schools, and normal students were mostly placed in middle schools or high schools. Teaching middle school, especially high school, is more likely to achieve excellent grades and honors than teaching middle school or sixth grade. But in reality, secondary school graduates in the eighties also achieved a lot when they went into other careers. For example, twenty years ago, my city had an executive vice principal and four other vice principals, all of whom had been teachers in the past. One of the vice-principals is a trainee teacher, and the other four are graduates of the Secondary Normal School. On one occasion, the trainee teacher was late for a meeting in the principal's office. When he opened the door to the conference room and saw that everyone was waiting for him, in order to hide his embarrassment, he made a joke:"A group of elementary and middle school students"。Nowadays, this group"Elementary and middle school students"All of them are department-level cadres (including the fourth transfer).
Although there are differences between probationary teachers and secondary school students in terms of their academic backgrounds and the jobs they do, the latter is not inferior in ability and performance. Trainee teachers excel in the field of education, while secondary school students excel in other areas of expertise. This proves that although the intern teachers of the 80s were slightly inferior to the middle school students in terms of academic ability, they were still able to make full use of their strengths in practical work.
Personal summary. Looking at the normal students in the 80s of the last century, their academic ability may be slightly lacking at that time, but their performance and achievements in the workplace should not be underestimated. Although the development path and career choice of normal students are limited, they have achieved remarkable results through continuous hard work and study, and have played an important role in the field of education. At the same time, there are also significant differences in performance and skill performance between normal students and secondary school students. Normal students and secondary school students are both groups of students who have outstanding performance in different fields, and together they have made important contributions to social development and education.
