-Let's talk
"Do you really want to study at Hua 2 Junior High School?" On May 1, a tweet from a WeChat public account of a private junior high school in a city brushed the screen. The school concerned reminded the students and parents in the article that they should "learn" themselves through multiple dimensions such as parental quality, academic pressure, and economic endurance before registering. This was interpreted by many netizens as "dissuading the poor" and "not allowing famous schools to pinch them for being anxious." At present, the school concerned has apologized and deleted the article. When the district education bureau has seriously criticized the school, it will be held accountable.
The school claims to have a "very powerful team of parents", and even clearly reminds parents that the school's spring and autumn tours have always been places like Disney. Every semester, they have to go to the Grand Theater to see performances, and international study tours are also expensive expenses ... … The article reminds repeatedly that “private education is a fee-based education, you have to think clearly” and “the ones that are suitable are the best, and the ones that are reluctant are suffering.”
It can be said that whether it is the arrogance and superiority embodied in the writing, or the idea of the school's admissions policy "pinch", the tweets are obviously inadequate, and the resentment caused by public opinion is also reasonable. in. After attracting public opinion, the local education department handled the matter in a timely manner, whether it was required to delete the article, seriously criticize it, or to pursue accountability.
In fact, netizens are constantly controversial about this enrollment article of the school in question. Some netizens lamented that such tweets are full of copper smells, and they deviate from the basic educational value concept of "teaching without class". However, some parents and netizens "supported" that the school was just telling the truth, but the truth was a bit "hearted."
The controversy of netizens is behind a different understanding of the New Deal for Compulsory Education Admissions, but despite the need for parents to differentiate their choices, we can hardly tolerate the secular utility of this school.
Now, after the local education department initiates accountability, it is believed that the uproar caused by the admissions article of the school concerned will gradually subside. But we should also pay attention to how to meet the differentiated choices of some parents after the implementation of the new enrollment policy; how to promote the diversification of private education after running schools without pinch-pointing, these series of issues are worthy of continuous discussion.
Essentially, to truly solve the problems reflected in this enrollment tweet, and to truly recognize the way of number-sharing enrollment, we must continue to promote the balance of compulsory education and narrow the quality gap of public schools, so as to truly solve the "school selection fever "," Private schools run by pinches "phenomenon. But this is obviously not in conflict with criticizing the secular utility of education.
