When it comes to exams, there are probably few places where there is as much pressure as domestic students. I remember when I was studying, a classmate once told me that his friend had mediocre academic performance, but after studying abroad, he was among the top in the city.
At the time, I didn't believe it, but it wasn't until I came into contact with foreigners that I realized that the difficulty of their courses in basic education was indeed not comparable to that in China.
However, due to the fierce competition and the relatively single track, the competition among students in our country is becoming increasingly fierce, which is already an indisputable reality. Before the college entrance examination, the high school entrance examination had already shown its cruel side. One parent expressed frustration.
Parents of middle school students: I regretted sending my children to vocational high schools, and the "preparatory class" did not help I heard the conversation of two parents of middle school students, one of whom had a son who was studying in a vocational high school. In fact, this boy is not without learning ability, but due to his weak foundation and average talent, his score in the high school entrance examination is only slightly lower than the admission line of public ordinary high schools.
Originally, there were some private schools around, but due to the high tuition fees, these parents were ordinary salarymen and could not afford this burden. Nowadays, the competition for the high school entrance examination is becoming more and more fierce, and many students with intermediate levels miss the opportunity to enter ordinary high schools.
They are reluctant to study technology directly and still want to fight for university. Therefore, in order to cater to the needs of such students, many vocational high schools have set up "preparatory classes" or "college entrance examination classes".
In order to participate in the college entrance examination, they are grouped together and focused on developing subject knowledge, which is distinguished from those who choose to graduate directly from the technical students. This approach not only allows for targeted instruction, but also helps to maintain a good atmosphere in the preparatory class, thus reassuring parents.
After hearing about this model, parents became very interested. Coupled with the fact that the tuition fee was significantly lower than that of the private high school, one mother decided that it would be more appropriate to send her son to a vocational high school.
However, after only one semester, parents began to regret it, admitting that the "promotion class" did not have much effect, and there was a clear gap between it and ordinary high schools; The size of the gap is unexpected.
There is still a big gap between the promotion class in the vocational high school and the ordinary high school, and you can really understand it after entering the school I don't know if the propaganda of the vocational high school was too attractive at the beginning, or the concept of the parents was too simple; In short, it is not until after the child enters school that parents deeply realize that a vocational high school is a vocational high school, and a regular high school is an ordinary high school, and even if students participate in the preparatory class, it may have a negative impact on the learning effect.
First of all, the cultivation thinking of "rather being a chicken head than a phoenix tail" is itself misleading; It depends on the level of the "flock". There is a huge difference between the admission standards of vocational high schools and ordinary high schools, and even if vocational high schools have the advantage of advancing classes, they may not have a competitive advantage outside of school.
Secondly, although there are problems in ordinary high schools, the main goal is to take the college entrance examination as the main goal; They have formed a relatively stable training system, while the "good class" of vocational high schools is still in the exploratory stage.
Unless it is a first-class national model vocational high school, the training experience of teachers is relatively limited. Moreover, the teachers recruited by general vocational high schools are not as strict as those of ordinary high schools. No matter how hard a student tries, he or she may be limited.
From the perspective of the overall student body**, there are only a very few classes in the college entrance examination class of vocational high schools, while ordinary high schools require all students to take the exam. It's not hard to imagine that there is a clear gap between the two in the learning atmosphere on campus.
This is not a prejudice against the origin of vocational high school students, but the probability of "bad students" in vocational schools is indeed high. If you are an honest and attentive student, you may become a thorn in the eye of others.
Maintaining grades has become a challenge, let alone avoiding being bullied. One parent mentioned that her son's personality became even more dull than before when he entered a vocational high school; Perhaps he himself can feel that the level of teaching and the campus atmosphere are completely different from the previous junior high school.
Parents are more worried that if they continue in this situation, they will gradually adapt to an unsatisfactory environment, and it will become very difficult to take the college entrance examination in the future. Although they saved some money on tuition, they felt that their decision might have laid a hidden danger for their son.
For the parents of this boy, what would they do when faced with such a difficult situation? Some people think that the mother was short-sighted and made the wrong decision in order to save on tuition. It's not that the propaganda of vocational high schools is too good, but that parents themselves have such a willingness and are willing to listen.
It is an obvious fact that there is a gap between vocational high schools and ordinary high schools, but she was confused for a moment at the time. However, the cost of education in private high schools is higher, and in addition to tuition, the usual miscellaneous fees and workbook fees are usually relatively expensive. Therefore, if junior high school students from ordinary families want to avoid the above difficulties, they need to realize the severity and cruelty of the high school entrance examination as early as possible. Strive to be admitted to a public high school, and work harder, maybe you can avoid missing opportunities because of a few mistakes.
Many boys are late maturing in junior high school, and may still be playful in the first year of junior high school, failing to build a solid foundation for learning. Although it is possible to become a dark horse in the later stage, due to the large gap in the early stage, the upper limit of making up has encountered a bottleneck. Parents need to be aware of the need to be nurtured, and it is best to accompany them as a child.
