The secret is that the children of wealthy families all go to aristocratic schools. The homework in these schools is very heavy and academic performance is also highly valued. However, the requirements for ordinary primary and secondary schools are very low, giving people the impression that Western education is not important.
The illusion of grades. But in the end when they are about to enter college, the gap is completely revealed. It is not that Americans only study hard when they get to college, but that only Americans who work hard can get into a decent university.
The difference between education in the United States and China is that American education mainly includes more assessment content such as social practice and extracurricular interests. This is not difficult for children from rich families, but it is difficult for children from poor families to afford to exercise these
skills required, so they need to learn
Only if they are obviously better than their classmates from rich families in terms of academic performance can the adverse effects be offset by a small margin. In other words, poor students in the United States need to study harder than poor students in China in order to have a chance to get ahead. Who can say?
Studying doesn’t need to be hard? Test scores aren’t important?
However, after listening to more feedback, Hu Weidong still made some modifications to the original education reform plan. For example, primary school, especially before the third grade, should focus on cultivating students' learning interests and good habits, and should not impose too much
learning pressure, and also the number of exercises
Strict restrictions were placed on the number of examinations and exams to prevent primary school students who were far from mature mentally from becoming tired of studying due to excessive study pressure. In addition, Hu Weidong also stipulated that teachers in the unified examination question group were not allowed to test students' knowledge reserves and application abilities.
Offenders who fail to answer relevant questions will be eliminated.
However, starting from the fourth grade of primary school, students' academic pressure begins to increase significantly. They must complete courses in two years that are almost equivalent to three school years of primary school in later generations. After entering junior high school, the academic pressure becomes even heavier.
At the same time, due to the end of compulsory education, students will also begin to face cruel entrance exams.
Since China will have a long-term shortage of middle and senior teachers for at least 20 to 30 years, although the nine-year compulsory education was implemented much earlier than in history (in fact, it was largely at the expense of lowering the quality of teaching), based on
Given the national conditions at the time, it was worthwhile to do so.), but starting from the high school, primary school level. The number of schools
Compared with primary schools and junior high schools, the number of students enrolled is significantly reduced. On average, only one in every five junior high school students can be admitted to high school or junior high school (Note 1), and among high school students, only one in 10 can be admitted to junior college.
Among them, no more than 5% are admitted to undergraduate colleges, so one can imagine how cruel the air-to-air and college entrance examinations are at this time.[
And unlike later generations in history, Chinese students in this time and space cannot easily get into college. Considering that graduate students in this era are already expert-level talents, it is understandable that the postgraduate entrance examination is more difficult, but
Less than half of students graduate successfully(
Note 2) This is indeed an exaggeration. As a result, China later became the only country in the world where universities were “strict in and out”. Even decades later, due to the rapid increase in high school enrollment rates and the small and technical secondary schools,
With the disappearance of special schools, it is still very common for college students to fail to graduate.
However, if you pay, you will be rewarded. Not to mention that college students have a bright future after graduation. Even during college, they can also receive subsidies from the state. Although the amount is not very large, it is enough to maintain the daily expenses of college students if they are more frugal.
It's more than enough. If I do some more work-study work, I can support my family during college.
It is also worth mentioning that although Hu Weidong comes from a later generation, he firmly supports the state's distribution after graduation from college, because only the state can ignore the lack of work experience of college students and have enough patience to wait for them to experience and grow. And later generations
Those foreign companies, private companies and even township companies care more about immediate interests (not
Not even possible. One result of the country not guaranteeing distribution is that it is easier to change jobs. No one wants to make a wedding dress for others, so they generally prefer ready-made talents. Therefore, college graduates, especially those majoring in science and engineering, are guaranteed distribution system.
The cancellation was not one mistake, but two mistakes.) When recruiting people, they often ask for work experience.
Experience has shown that a considerable number of college graduates are forced to change careers in order to find employment, especially positions such as civil servants, which waste professional talents, attracting everyone to flock to them (in fact, compared with the original package distribution, it was just that the state used to pull college students into it)
system, now college students have to rush in. In order to be able to go abroad,
Those who work in enterprises and clamor for the abolition of the package distribution system don’t know how they feel now. Of course, they will not regret it, because it is only the later generations who will suffer.) Many good talents who could have become scientific and technological experts have been wasted because of this. If this situation happens in
This reappearance of time and space is definitely something that Hu Weidong, who had experienced the pain of his own skin back then, could not tolerate.
However, Hu Weidong did not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Students can refuse the allocation, provided that they apply when they enter school. The price is that they must give up all welfare conditions such as subsidies and tuition exemptions. In addition, as long as university graduates who accept state allocation do not enter
After working in a key department for three years, you can freely change jobs. Therefore, except for those students with excellent family conditions, few people are willing to give up all the benefits they received while studying in college for just three years of freedom.
Note 1: Before the policy adjustment in 1957 in this time and space, the original junior high schools were withdrawn and upgraded, most of China’s outstanding middle school students generally chose to apply for junior secondary schools instead of high schools, because they could start working earlier and reduce the burden on their families.
burden, and because of the seniority wage system, the income in the later period is not much worse than that of college students, and the college entrance examination in this book is
It is open to members of the public, and not only high school students can participate (of course, because members of the public often have difficulty preparing for the exam wholeheartedly, and most of them have not received a more targeted high school education, they will inevitably suffer some disadvantages in the college entrance examination, but considering that they participate first
You should pay a little price for the advantage of working.) Therefore, the attractiveness of high school is far inferior to that of junior high school.
Note 2: A failed course can be retaken, but the standard must not be lowered, and each course can only be retaken twice at most. If you fail the test twice, you will be expelled from the university. In theory, if you are expelled, you can take the college entrance examination again, but you will lose the
It’s still a big problem, and after experiencing this setback, it’s hard for most people to feel that way again ()
