What is good education? Perhaps in the hearts of modern parents, a teacher who can teach their children good grades is a good teacher. But in fact, education is not only about imparting knowledge to students, but more importantly, it is about establishing students' correct world outlook and values. For a long time, our schools have always used the purpose of pursuing scores and often evaluated students and teachers based on their performance. On the one hand, this improves students' grades, but also brings a lot of negative things.
Recently, Gansu Province promulgated the revised " Gansu Province Compulsory Education Regulations ", which clearly stated in this regulation that prohibits the setting of key classes, fast and slow classes and experimental classes in any name, and does not evaluate schools and teachers based on student test scores and admission rates. Of course, the promulgation of this regulation has also triggered enthusiastic responses from netizens.
Many netizens believe that this move is not advisable. If this happens, who will teach seriously in the future teachers?
1. If you don’t evaluate students based on your grades, why should you select students? Feel based on impressions?
2. If you don’t look at the grades, what should you look at? Does it depend on the relationship between the teacher and the leader? This is even more unfair to most teachers?
3. Do you still look at the scores in the college entrance examination and the middle school entrance examination? If you still accept it by score, why can’t students and teachers be evaluated by scores?
I have to say that what netizens are worried about is not unreasonable. Although all education is not scores, scores are still very important in the face of college entrance examinations and high school entrance examinations. But as an educator, I still want to say that education should return to normal, and education that pursues scores excessively is definitely not good education.
First: The main reason why our children’s learning burden is difficult to reduce is that all regions are evaluating schools and teachers based on scores.
Now, we all know that children have a heavy burden on learning. Even if the double reduction is implemented, the burden on children has not been reduced. Many people say it is because of the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, but in fact, the main reason is that all regions are evaluating schools and teachers based on scores.
The main basis for the education department to evaluate schools is scores. Look at the college entrance examinations in various places. As long as the admission rate of which high school has a high admission rate, the principal will be able to improve quickly, and so will primary and secondary schools. As long as the admission rate of which school has a high admission rate, the principal will be commended. But in this way, the principal will also frantically ask the teachers for grades.
As long as the school evaluates teachers based on their grades, the teachers will try every means to ask students for grades. They may assign a large amount of homework, may corporal punishment and disguised corporal punishment of students, or may let students purchase teaching aid materials in various ways. In short, the burden on students will only get heavier.
Look at the current schools, this is basically the case. No matter how the above advocates reducing the burden, no one can implement it when it comes to the school. Looking at the double reduction policy proposed by the Ministry of Education, several schools have truly achieved it, so this evaluation method ultimately harms our children.
Second: If we want to cultivate comprehensively developed talents, we cannot evaluate our children based on scores as the only criterion.
In fact, each of us knows that it is absolutely wrong to evaluate our children with grades as the only criterion. It's very simple. Every child is unique and has his own highlights. Some children may be good at sports, some children may be good at painting, and some children may be good at music. The role of education is to discover the highlights of every child, but the current education is about scores. Even if it is a sports teenager, as long as the scores of Chinese, mathematics and foreign countries are not high, they are still a poor student in the eyes of teachers in various subjects.
Our schools have never lacked all kinds of talents, but why do we only evaluate our children based on the results of cultural courses? Good students with good grades in Chinese, mathematics and foreign countries. Are they not talented people with excellent physical and artistic music?
Our education has long proposed to cultivate talents with comprehensive development, but if we only evaluate our children by scores, how can they develop their other strengths? Look at the current schools, why no one pays attention to physical, music, beauty and other courses? It is because these courses do not take exams, so many schools and teachers do not pay attention to them.
only attaches importance to exam subjects, which is an abnormal phenomenon in itself. If students and teachers are continued to evaluate grades, then the phenomenon of not paying attention to physical, music and beauty in the future will only become more serious, and the ultimate harm will be our children. There are policies and countermeasures on
. Although this regulation is beautiful, it is difficult to implement in various places.
Ideals are beautiful. If this regulation in Gansu can be truly implemented, of course it will be good. But in the current educational environment, it is really difficult to fully implement it.
1. No one dares not to pursue grades in various places, and even more so, school teachers dare not.
What should I do if I don’t pursue grades and the grades in the college entrance examination are very poor? Can you be worthy of so many parents and children? Will parents scold the school and teachers?
2. If you don’t evaluate schools and teachers by scores, what is the evaluation?
This is the most important thing. No matter what, there must be a standard. But except for the score, the others are not easy to quantify, and they are even less likely to be evaluated. But our education department cannot ignore schools and teachers, so how should this standard be formulated?
at the end:
As a teacher, I certainly support this change in the evaluation system. But in today's exam-oriented education, can parents who do not pursue scores be satisfied? Today, when scores are still the only admission criterion for the high school entrance examination, is it really worthy of students if you don’t pursue scores? So the real reform must be thorough unless a better evaluation method is proposed.
