Recently, Jiang Ping, a 17-year-old student of Jiangsu Lianshui Secondary School, made a splash in the global mathematics competition held by Alibaba, and entered the top 12 finals with a score exceeding the doctoral results of Qingbei and other world-famous universities, which attracted widespread attention from the society. Jiang Ping's success not only amazed her mathematical talent, but also triggered a reflection on the mainland's education system.
Jiang Ping's success undoubtedly proves her extraordinary mathematical talent. For such a genius, we should give enough respect and affirmation, and should not overemphasize her status as a secondary school student. The reason why Jiang Ping was able to stand out was because of her talent and hard work, rather than the identity label of the secondary school.
Jiang Ping's success also reflects the problems caused by the diversion of the high school entrance examination under the mainland education system. Is it a waste of talent for a mathematical genius like Jiang Ping to be shunted to a secondary school because of unsatisfactory test results?
Of course, Jiang Ping's success is an example, and it does not mean that all vocational schools can cultivate geniuses. The main responsibility of vocational schools is to train technical talents, not academic talents. When choosing a school for their children, parents should choose rationally according to their children's actual situation and interests, and not be deceived by the misleading propaganda of vocational schools.
A netizen in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province said: A native of Huai'an, Jiangsu, more than ten years ago, the village basically couldn't get into high school when he studied secondary school, and he was young, so he had to go to the secondary school to transition. Those classmates came back and told me that there were a lot of fights, early love, and early pregnancy. One hundred go to the so-called junior college, and in the end there is a high probability that they will go to society in advance, go to the factory, and do odd jobs. 2 There is only one neighbor's sister who has been self-taught, and later started a business and made a fortune, and the others are difficult to explain. Therefore, children can go to high school to study in high school, and the transition to secondary school can be, and learning can not stop, even if it is to learn a useful craft.
Some netizens said: Some time ago, the bullying incident in Yidu Vocational High School in Hubei Province made parents feel extremely distressed,...... Seven or eight children beat and whipped a boy for two hours, I really don't know what kind of life these demons raised, I just hope that these demons will be imprisoned as soon as possible. Let the children and grandchildren of experts who call for "vocational high schools can serve the country" go to such vocational high schools.
Further, the overall direction of the current secondary school is correct, but in practice it is very contradictory, and the fact is that the vast majority of secondary schools receive lower scores than high schools, which determines that this group of students is generally not good at learning and learning habits.
Through Jiang Ping's success, we have brought the following enlightenment:
1. Respect your child's personality and strengths
The purpose of education is to cultivate the all-round development of students, respect children's individuality and strengths, and teach them according to their aptitude. Parents and teachers should pay more attention to their children's interests and provide them with necessary support and guidance.
2. Avoid excessive chicken behavior
Chicken baby behavior is a quick way to educate children, which not only kills children's interest, but also takes a toll on their mental health. Parents should be calm-minded, accept their children's ordinariness, support their interests, and let their children grow up happily.
3. Reform the education evaluation system
The current education evaluation system in mainland China places too much emphasis on test scores, which leads many students to abandon hobbies for the sake of scores, stifling creativity and innovation.
The premature diversion has buried many young people with personality and talent, and our education system needs to be further reformed to discover more "Jiang Ping".
