The term "super middle school" has been a topic of discussion among many parents and students in the past ten years, especially when the college entrance examination results are released every year. The successful model of "super middle school" can help the school enter a virtuous cycle of "high-quality students come in and famous college entrance examination schools go out" . As a result, his reputation has become more and more famous, and he has become more and more respected by parents. They believe that as long as he works hard to enter a prestigious school, he will not have to worry about not being admitted to a good university.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Super high schools in each province have secured more than 80% of places in prestigious universities in the province almost every year. For example, this year Zhenhai Middle School , 7 of the top ten Zhenhai middle schools in Zhejiang Province, the four famous schools in Changsha have sent more than 260 Qingbei students together, and the school's one-book online rate has remained above 99% all year round; Qingbei only enrolls about 400 students in Hunan a year, and there are countless cases.
At present, the most typical "super middle schools" representatives mainly include: Ningbo Zhenhai Middle School in Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School , Hangzhou Xuejun Middle School ; the four famous schools in Changsha in Hunan Province, namely Changjun Middle School , the Middle School Affiliated to Hunan Normal University, Yali Middle School , Changsha No. 1 Middle School ; Beijing's Beijing No. 4 Middle School , the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, Shaanxi's Northwestern Polytechnical University Affiliated Middle School , Sichuan's Chengdu Almost every province has one or two or even three or four super high schools.
Why these schools can become "Super Middle Schools"
Why can they become well-known super middle schools? It has a history of 110 years now; Changjun Middle School was founded in 1904, etc. It has a long historical heritage. After a hundred years, it has become a well-known school. This no longer requires too much publicity by the school and has become a parent's psychology. A prestigious gold medal school. The college entrance examination gold list every year has become the school's most effective publicity, and all of this is inseparable from the excellent learning atmosphere of a prestigious school.
Secondly, the recruitment requirements for teachers are strict and the remuneration is high : Being able to provide remuneration that is far superior to that of other schools is a very key factor in attracting famous teachers to join the school. For example, Chengdu No. 7 Middle School, teachers of various subjects in the school have high academic qualifications when recruiting. The requirements are very high. For details, you can see this recruitment brochure.
High salary, good reputation, and the ability to realize the desire to be a teacher.This is very attractive to excellent teachers.
Finally, the province searches for high-quality students: "Pinch the top" . This is the most common means for prestigious schools to attract high-quality students. On the one hand, prestigious schools hope that top students can come to their schools. On the other hand, parents, including the students themselves, also I really hope to go to a prestigious school, and even more so, I want to go to a top class in a prestigious school. When I was in high school, the school announced in all the junior high schools in the county that the top 50 students in the county who came to our school for the high school entrance examination would be free of tuition, miscellaneous fees and living expenses for the first year, and we would be provided with single-room accommodation and other measures, and even some special Excellent schools, such as the top ten schools in the county, can also allow parents to come to school to accompany them, allowing parents to solve their work in the school, etc.
The above three points are the three most basic aspects for an ordinary high school to become a famous school. There are many other aspects, so I will not go into them one by one.
So, does the existence of super middle school have more advantages than disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? Are there advantages or disadvantages? From different perspectives, different people have different results.
From the perspective of parents: For their children with excellent grades, parents will think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, because excellent students gather together. , it is easy to form a phenomenon of trying to catch up with each other and helping each other in learning. This can ensure the learning atmosphere, the school's atmosphere, and the environment that the child is in is beneficial to his learning. What about parents whose children have average grades? It is generally believed that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. These parents believe that the existence of super middle schools will lead to the concentration of excellent teachers in a few schools, which will lead to uneven distribution of educational resources in other middle schools. In general middle schools, regardless of the learning atmosphere There is no way to guarantee the school's atmosphere, which will not help improve children's academic performance.
From a social perspective: : Super middle schools are among the best in the province. If you do well in the exam, you should do it. If you do not do well, it is the school's problem. Therefore, all the children's good or bad grades are attributed to the school and to the teacher. Everyone only cares about the children's grades, but ignores the children's own efforts and physical and mental health.
Looking at from the perspective of a super middle school: Gathering the best students in the province, attracting high-quality teachers, allowing the school to enter a healthy development, making the school famous, as long as the school can hand in a dazzling transcript in the annual college entrance examination, Other issues are minor.
Looking at from the perspective of other schools: When the top local students are absorbed by super middle schools in other areas, the number of high-quality students staying in the local area will decrease, and excellent teachers will gradually be lost. The school has to face a choice, whether to spread the higher-quality students and teachers to all classes, balance teaching, or integrate the remaining higher-quality students, and then integrate the high-quality teachers of the whole school and focus on training. I believe that almost all schools will choose the latter, using the latter to sprint for college entrance examination results and strive to be more proactive in recruiting students for the next session. This will also lead to further reductions in the resources that other students with average grades may receive. Regarding such a policy, will Zhenhai Middle School learn to follow up or continue to be the leader in the province?
If you are a parent facing your child’s first grade, what do you think about the pros and cons of super middle schools?
