The harshest truth in education: the Matthew effect also exists between universities

author:Zion Torch

In fact, it is undeniable that many people today lack logical thinking and like to reverse the effect as the cause. For example, many people think that the achievement of Qingbei graduates is much better than that of ordinary undergraduates. So I came to the conclusion: that is, most of the people who graduated from Qingbei are promising. But in fact, the real reason is that these people themselves are excellent people, so they can be admitted to Qingbei, not because they have achievements after graduation.

The harshest truth in education: the Matthew effect also exists between universities

In other words, Qingbei is the best university in China because these two institutions absorb the best students. Even in colleges and universities like Qingbei, the top students in the college entrance examination in various provinces are in a state of oblivion. For example, Liu Dingning, the top student in the college entrance examination in Liaoning Province from 2013 to 2014, expressed many years after graduating from Peking University: I feel very ordinary and under a lot of pressure when I am in Peking University. Because the real high-quality students in Qingbei did not enter through the college entrance examination channel at all.

In fact, taking Liaoning Province as an example, in recent years, the top students in the college entrance examination in Liaoning Province rarely appear in the top cities in the province such as Shenyang and Dalian, but frequently appear in cities such as Benxi, Chaoyang and Panjin. The fundamental reason is: really high-quality students, people don't take the college entrance examination!

The harshest truth in education: the Matthew effect also exists between universities

Let's hypothesize: the source of students from Tsinghua University and Peking University is replaced by college students with a score of about 300 in the college entrance examination. Then, even if Qingbei has good teaching resources, it is estimated that it will become a garbage college. Therefore, prestigious schools and students are in a state of mutual fulfillment. Only with high-quality students can the quality of prestigious schools be guaranteed. Similarly, prestigious schools should also provide the best teaching resources for high-quality students.

In fact, the harshest truth of education is that there is also the Matthew effect between universities. In addition, the essence of education is the screening mode, so the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination streams must not be canceled.

1. Triage and screening

First of all, people are not the same as human talents. Taking the college entrance examination as an example, with the same high school and the same educational resources, why can some people be admitted to Qingbei Fujiao, while some people can only take the junior college exam? The root cause is the difference in talent.

The objective existence of talent differences also means that education needs to have a screening function: that is, through continuous screening, the best quality students are selected and allocated to the best quality teaching resources.

And the first level of screening is the high school entrance examination. Since elementary and junior high school is compulsory, there are too many students in the school who do not have the talent to learn cultural courses, as well as a large number of ruffians and scum on campus. Most of the school bullying is contributed by this kind of scumbag. Of course, most of the scum in junior high school have very average academic performance, so in the spirit of my own life, I am finished, but I also want to ruin the lives of others and harm other middle students.

And the function of the high school entrance examination is detoxification: kick these problematic students, like, out of the general high school. Objectively speaking, the middle job has indeed played the role of a trash can. Of course, the middle job will also need to be purified in layers in the future.

2. Distribution of resources

In fact, for ordinary migrant families, they are the most enthusiastic about the college entrance examination. But in fact, if you think that studying in college after the college entrance examination is a quest for knowledge, then it does not meet most of the circumstances. Because contemporary college students, from the mainstream point of view, are all non-985 and 211 groups, and the mainstream is basically going to college to play games and then look for a job. Therefore, for most college students, the purpose of studying in college is to mix diplomas, and then mix up the capital to find a job. As for real talent, that's all too much to think about. As for self-positioning as a talent, it is even more of an idea. After all, the talents of 985 and 211 are enough to meet the market's demand for talents.

And ordinary college students outside this system can only continue to compete for some low-quality living and working resources while not having access to excellent educational resources.

This is the cruelest truth.
