Parents are strongly demanding that schools publish test results, but there are also opposing voices
Parents strongly demanded that the school release the test results, netizens: At first, you were against it.
The college entrance examination across the country has ended, and the scores of students have been revealed. However, many schools use a grading system rather than specific scores. This practice has caused dissatisfaction among some parents, who have strongly demanded that the school publish their child's specific scores.
One parent said:
There is a strong demand for schools to be transparent about students' final exam scores: Are students working hard throughout the semester, or do they just want a grade? Students want to know if their grades have improved, but no matter how much they ask, teachers shy away from talking about it.
Many netizens expressed their opinions on the parents' **.
So why do schools still insist on using grades instead of specific scores? Actually, there are several reasons for this.
First of all, the use of differentiated evaluation can effectively protect students' self-esteem and avoid labeling students too early. Why use differentiated reviews? Mainly to protect students.
If individual students' grades are made public, it is likely that they will be labeled with all sorts of negative labels and hit their self-esteem. Primary school students are in the growth stage and have strong psychological plasticity. Their current academic performance is not commensurate with their future level of learning. Prematurely classify them as"Poor students", which will seriously hurt their psychology and even affect their future development. Everyone has self-esteem, and so do children. For the sake of the child's healthy development, it is best not to expose their grades.
Of course, with the implementation of graded teaching, people's understanding of scores will gradually fade. Over time, it is also possible that people will gradually lose the importance of grades, and the pressure and burden on students will be reduced.
Second, almost all developed countries do not publish the academic performance of students in compulsory education, but use scores to measure students' academic performance. A good education should focus on the healthy physical and mental development of students. In fact, many developed countries have implemented evaluation systems, but China has just started, and many people are not used to it.
Strictly speaking, students' grades are private and only teachers and parents have the right to know. China has a long tradition of making student results public. But in recent years, college students have become more and more burdened with study, more and more stress, and more and more people suffer from depression. If student grades continue to be published, it may cause more psychological harm to students. Therefore, it makes sense to implement graded evaluation.
Overall, the evaluation system is effective for students, but why are parents still dissatisfied? The reason is relatively simple.
Although we all know that graded exams are good for children, the reason why parents are not satisfied is that we follow the model of test-oriented education.
While assessment criteria have been introduced at the compulsory education level, at the upper secondary level, assessments are still based on specific scores. Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE)"Entrance examination") and the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE)."College Entrance Examination") is still based on scores and rankings. If parents don't know their child's specific scores and rankings, how can they set learning goals for their child? For example, an A grade equals 80 points or more, but the difference between 80 and 100 points is significant.
Because of these two tests, parents are reluctant to take placement tests, unless the advanced level test also uses a placement system. In other words, the current grading system is largely designed to save face for poor students, causing a lot of dissatisfaction.
Verdict. In general, I personally do not support the publication of specific scores for students. Although our education system is still test-led, students are more burdened with learning than they can handle. Judging from the increasing number of suicide and depression cases in recent years, even if we cannot change the status quo of the college entrance examination and college entrance examination for the time being, we can at least appropriately alleviate their anxiety, which is what we can do at present.
Evaluations may not be perfect, but at least they can protect some students' self-esteem and allow them to grow up healthy and happy. From this point of view, this measure is very fair.
