In recent years, in order to reduce the learning burden of students, reduce pressure, and create a better learning environment, the relevant departments have made various efforts. In the modern education model, instead of focusing on student achievement, more attention is paid to humanistic care for students. Protecting students' self-esteem and making them feel respected is key to increasing their interest in learning.
To this end, in addition to measures such as reducing homework and prohibiting elementary and junior high school students from taking make-up classes outside of school, the number of internal examinations in schools has also been reduced, especially for students in the lower grades of primary school, and even mid-term and final exams have been abolished. For students in the upper grades of elementary school, even if they take exams, the rankings are no longer published, and only students are allowed to know their own test scores, but not the grades and rankings of other students.
Since rankings cannot be set and student results cannot be published, some schools require teachers not to make mistakes on test papers, and can only grade students in the form of ABCDs. This way of converting grades makes it difficult for parents to understand the real level of their students' exams, and even causes some confusion.
As a result, parents find out that their child's test score is A, only to find that almost all the students in the class are A's and are confused. Since they can't know the real grades, some parents consult the teacher by phone, only to find that the teacher can only remind the "class PK" column behind the report card to present the students' relative grades and rankings in a percentage way.
This method of ranking has caused some controversy, with some parents arguing that it is cultivating students who are too vulnerable, and that the abolition of rankings is actually a manifestation of educational progress.
In order to alleviate the learning pressure, encourage students to learn independently, avoid excessive competition, and help cultivate students' understanding and application of knowledge, as well as choose future development direction according to their interests and hobbies.
This modern approach to education is more in line with the concept of the new gaokao model, which emphasizes the cultivation of well-rounded students, rather than focusing only on scores and rankings.
Grades and rankings are not the ultimate goal of education, but to cultivate students with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, so that they have the qualities of knowledge, wisdom, and debate.
In today's society, students will be able to choose their subjects more independently, pay more attention to the understanding and application of knowledge, and better plan their future development direction according to their interests and hobbies.
