……
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the thunder exploded, making people overwhelmed.
But for Uncle Fan, who pays attention to education, these are not a matter of fact.
In Uncle Fan's view, the biggest melon was the sudden dismissal of Principal Wang Zheng.
13 years later, Principal Wang Zheng fell into the same pit again
The principal of Shenzhen Middle School and the principal of Peking University Affiliated Middle School have these two titles, and the 57-year-old Wang Zheng is fully qualified to occupy the C position in the phalanx of China's middle school principals. After all, Shenzhen Middle School and Peking University Affiliated Middle School, one south and one north, are all famous schools in the local area and even the whole country.
To become the helmsman of these two famous schools successively, Wang Zheng must have had a few brushes. Moreover, this middle-aged man who belongs to the dragon was admitted to the Physics Department of Peking University from Peking University Affiliated High School in his early years, and he was a proper scholar.
Unfortunately, however, with only 22 days left to enter 2022, a document from Peking University brought Wang Zheng's career as president to an abrupt end.
The payment is Peking University, and the school issue [2021] No. 244 document issued to the affiliated middle school of Peking University has one sentence: "The school has decided to dismiss Wang Zheng from the post of principal of the affiliated middle school of Peking University." ”
As the saying goes, "the fewer the words, the bigger the matter", how did President Wang, who had been in the position of Peking University Affiliated High School for 13 years, suddenly be dismissed? He is still three years away from the statutory retirement age of 60 years, not to mention that he is in the context of "double subtraction".
Therefore, this dismissal order is quite a bit of a depth bomb feeling, suddenly and explosive, the sound is dull but powerful, whether in the Peking University High School or in the society has caused a lot of repercussions.
Some people may say, you think too much, this is a normal personnel change. However, although the position of president of Peking University Affiliated High School is not high-level, the position is too important and prominent, so it has to be imagined.
Haidian District of Beijing is known as "the most intensive district in the country's intellectual resources", and Peking University Affiliated High School is located in Haidian District, together with Renmin University Affiliated Middle School, Tsinghua Affiliated Middle School, Beijing 101 Middle School, Beijing Eleventh Middle School, First Division Affiliated Middle School and known as "Hailong Six Schools", which is a famous school where many middle school students and their parents want to drill into it.
In the era of taking the college entrance examination as the absolute baton, the "name" of the "famous school" of the "Hailong Six Schools", including Peking University Affiliated High School, in addition to the campus environment, teaching facilities, teaching staff, learning atmosphere, and historical evolution, is derived from the college entrance examination promotion rate.
In the "Eight Education" network to see a document, some netizens made a comparison of the results of the 2022 and 2021 college entrance examinations of Peking University Affiliated High School.
At a glance, the overall strength of Peking University Affiliated Middle School is indeed great, and all 419 candidates in 2021 have passed the line of the college entrance examination. However, on closer inspection, it seems that the top students are not particularly sharp, for example, there is only 1 in the top 100 in Beijing, and only 13 people are admitted to Peking University Tsinghua with naked scores, both of which are lower than in 2020, and these two data are not high in 2020.
It has also been reported that the promotion rate of Peking University Affiliated High School, especially the number of people admitted to Peking University Tsinghua University, is far behind that of the Renda Affiliated Middle School, which also belongs to the "Hailong Six Schools" camp.
This seems to confirm from one side that President Wang went away without the crown, and the probability is related to the decline in college entrance examination results.
It can be speculated that Principal Wang Zheng, who is fully committed to the reform of secondary school education, re-enacted a scene in Shenzhen that year.
In March 2009, Wang Zheng left his post at the end of his seven-year term as principal of Shenzhen Middle School. Later, someone made a statistic: during Wang Zheng's tenure, the focus rate of Shenzhen middle schools dropped from 72.63% in 2002 to 67% in 2010, and the admission score line of the middle school enrollment also showed a downward trend from 2005 to 2009.
Obviously, with these two data as the "case background", it is not an easy task for President Wang to continue his term. Just in time for the olive branch extended by Peking University Affiliated High School, is it possible that President Wang will go down the slope and walk with a grand sound, without any sense of violation?
Principal Wang Zheng's teaching reform, whose cheese has been moved?
President Wang can be called a "madman" in China's secondary education reform.
In March 2002, Wang Zheng became the principal of Shenzhen Middle School, and as soon as he took office, he first changed the school motto.
Different from the usual 8-character or 12-character school motto, the "Wang's" school motto of Shenzhen Middle School is a big vernacular that is long to read, brain-burning to memorize, but has a very straightforward meaning: "Cultivate outstanding citizens with distinct personalities, full of self-confidence, dare to be responsible, and have ideological, leadership and creativity." They are passionate about serving society wherever they are, and show respect for nature and care for others in it."
Subsequently, Principal Wang embarked on a drastic reform with the first and second grades of high school as the main battlefield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Replace the traditional class system with a unit system, and set up a unit leader, who is served by a teacher. Each unit consists of a mix of one class each in the first, second and third grades of high school.
-- Teaching implements the course selection system and the course walking system. Students can take courses of interest across classes and grades.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Student Union is positioned as an autonomous institution for students, and a supervision department composed of students has been set up to supervise the work of the Student Union.
——Students run their own "Nirvana Weekly". From topic selection, drafting, editing, printing to distribution, the whole process of this publication is taken care of by students, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses.
Although Shenzhen is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up, and President Wang's reform practice in Shenzhen Middle School is also consistent with the tone of the city of Shenzhen, it has to be said that the intensity of these reforms is still far beyond the imagination and endurance of many people.
Therefore, while many people applauded Principal Wang, the sound of complaining did not stop for a moment. At the worst time, some parents who were embarrassed and angry directly shouted on the Internet: "Drive away Wang Zheng!" "Save Shenzhen Middle School, save Shenzhen Middle School!"
In this regard, Principal Wang laughed, and he did not pay attention to these arguments.
Because, he is the arrogant "Don Quixote King"!
Transferred to Peking University Affiliated Middle School, President Wang has intensified, and the pace of reform is so large and fast that he has to dump Shenzhen Middle School several streets.
In addition to the implementation of the shift system, the tutor system, student autonomy, encourage students to create and join various clubs according to their own interests, but also changed the school's teaching system to four colleges, eight colleges, students can set their own curriculum.
The hottest thing is: allow students to bring mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products into the campus, students can play games at school; allow students to fall in love.
As a result, students of Peking University Affiliated High School can openly play "League of Legends", and "Have you made progress" has become a popular high-frequency code word among students, which translates to "Are you in love?"
You know, playing video games, early love, in other middle schools that is 100% forbidden area!
Seeing this, perhaps many netizens, especially parents, will say that President Wang is "fooling around", indeed, there are many parents in Peking University High School during this period.
However, Principal Wang has his own reasons.
Wang Zheng's concept of religious reform can be summed up in three sentences:
-- At the high school level, general education should be promoted, and learning is not directed to majors and occupations, but to improve students' literacy and cognition as the foundation.
——To cope with the college entrance examination, only one year of preparation is enough. We can think of the college entrance examination as a game, and we have to participate in this game and do this game well.
-- True learning is not confined to coping with the college entrance examination, but with interest, in-depth study, independent thinking, different insights and in-depth inquiry.
Obviously, Wang Zheng's educational ideals are very different from the traditional concept of secondary education, which runs counter to the original intentions of many students and parents who have entered Shenzhen Middle School and Peking University Affiliated High School.
Because, going to a key middle school and taking a key university has long become the most important expectation of countless parents for their children, how can this cheese be easily moved?
Of course, President Wang naturally understands the importance of the college entrance examination, and his teaching reform has to succumb to the baton of the college entrance examination. As a result, whether it is Shenzhen Middle School or Peking University Affiliated High School, in the "Wang Zheng era", the high schools of the two schools have been divided into "2+1" two seasons. The first and second years of high school are the "teaching reform season", and the third year of high school is the "college entrance examination season".
In the "teaching reform season", students can be happy and believe in the reins, but once they enter the "college entrance examination season", they will enter a closed state and go all out to enter the college entrance examination preparation stage.
However, the divine beast that has been "playing" for two years, in the last year to achieve "reins and cages", is really "concubines can't do it", at least not every child can have enough self-control to read only the college entrance examination, not to mention that competitors from other schools have been waiting for three years to meet the college entrance examination. In this way, in the face of the college entrance examination scores earned by "time and sweat", it is not surprising that the top students of the two schools are not sharp.
In fact, President Wang's teaching reform is not new, in the end, he actually borrowed from the introduction of some foreign practices, which have long been implemented by the international department of many key middle schools in China, the difference is that President Wang's steps may be bigger.
The reason why these practices work in the International Department of the Middle School, but they do not work in the Headquarters of the Middle School, in the final analysis, is that they have encountered the obstacle of the college entrance examination. In other words, the biggest BUG that President Wang encountered in the process of teaching reform, the BUG that cannot be bypassed, is precisely the annual, lifelong college entrance examination!
What is certain is that as long as the content and method of the college entrance examination remain unchanged, as long as the selection standards and methods of Chinese colleges and universities remain unchanged, President Wang's teaching reform is doomed to die, and President Wang himself is doomed to escape the fate of being dismissed!
The trend of the college entrance examination is increasing, will high school students lie flat? Unless you don't plan to go to college in Your Country.
It's that simple.
Principal Wang turned the page, where is the middle school teaching reform?
Before Wang Zheng's term of office as principal expired, before leaving Shenzhen Middle School, his student, a reporter from Nirvana Weekly, asked him a question: "Why do you have to go after two terms?" Do you want to emulate the tenure system of the President of the United States? ”
In this regard, Principal Wang's answer can be described as light and cloudy: "If there is really such a regulation, it is okay." But I also have a purpose to see if what I can do after I'm gone. If what I've done can't be done after I'm gone, what I've done in those years hasn't meant much. So if I don't go, how do I know if what I've been doing over the years can continue after I leave? ”
Shenzhen Middle School has inherited and developed how much of Principal Wang's teaching reform efforts, Uncle Fan does not dare to talk about it, but Uncle Fan noticed a detail, the school motto on the official website of Shenzhen Middle School has been changed to "unity, enterprising, truth-seeking, innovation" at some point.
Uncle Fan also noticed a piece of news information, according to the "First Financial Magazine" disclosed, the courier cabinet at the entrance of Peking University Affiliated Middle School has been changed to a mobile phone cabinet, and every student must turn in his mobile phone when entering the school. In the era of Principal Wang, no one ever cared about whether students brought mobile phones or not. And this change is less than a month before President Wang left Peking University Affiliated High School!
Pity? Embarrassed? Sigh?
Although President Wang Zheng's practice of education reform has come to an end, although Uncle Fan does not fully agree with President Wang Zheng's education reform measures, his efforts and efforts are still worthy of respect and respect. Because, secondary school education reform is imperative.
However, this reform involves all aspects and thousands of households, and is an extremely complex system project, especially to fully take into account the adaptability of students, the ability of parents to bear, and this is a "soft landing" process.
The difficulty of education reform is not in the teaching method, but in people's cognition of education, the cognition of talents, and the recognition of success.
The "double reduction" that has just started is also facing the embarrassment of applause and not calling for seats, many teachers of off-campus training institutions have become "underground workers" overnight, and the collective training of classes in the past has become one-on-one home tutoring, the reason why there are policies and countermeasures at the bottom, in the end, it is because parents and some teachers have doubts about reducing the burden, worried that their children or students have lost on the starting line.
Therefore, the "double reduction" should start from reducing the psychological burden, and the education reform should start from changing the perspective of education.
"Double reduction" is not easy, and it is reduced and cherished.
It is not easy to teach and reform, and it is changed and cherished.
