Fancy "good news of the college entrance examination" frequently appears, really take the ban as air?

  "This year, the school's mango trees have an excellent harvest. There are 1,320 ripe mangoes, and there are more than 100 of them over 600 grams. Gu ××, a freshman in the third year of high school, picked a mango with a net weight of 696 grams, which is the fruit of the fruit market in Qinzhou City this year. Wang, the two major fruit merchants in the capital have heard the news and came to snap up."

According to media reports, recently, a middle school in Qinzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was suspected of using the weight of mangoes as a metaphor for college entrance examination scores, causing concern.

A staff member of the city's admissions and examination institute said, "The Education Bureau has notified the school and told them not to post it."

  In recent years, the state and local governments have issued three orders and five declarations, and it is strictly forbidden to publicize and hype "the top scorer in the college entrance examination", "the good news of the college entrance examination", "the rate of admission to the college entrance examination" and "high score candidates" in various ways.

In October 2020, the "Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council made clear requirements for similar speculation: it is strictly forbidden to announce, publicize, and hype the "Top Scholar" and enrollment rate in the college entrance examination. Those with prominent ecological problems and serious social impacts shall be held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations.

  But the reality is that some schools and teachers, out of consideration for promoting "political achievements" and attracting high-quality students, changed their tricks to perfunctory bans, and some local authorities also turned a blind eye.

As a result, there are all kinds of "black words" and "code words" that make people laugh and laugh.

Judging from media reports and netizens' revelations, in addition to mangoes, oranges, pineapples and other fruits, lotus flowers, rice dumplings, precipitation, etc. have also appeared, and various places have alluded to the scores of candidates by their number or weight.

If it is not curbed in time, this kind of fancy "good news of the college entrance examination" may emerge in more places.

The relevant ban will also be a mere formality, and may even form a "broken window effect".

  The "top scorer complex" and "high score complex" are common psychology that has been formed over the years. The reason why the relevant departments are resolute in this regard is precisely because of its harm and orientation - over-hyping high scores, top scorers, etc., not only may create and harm It will aggravate the anxiety of education, and will promote the misconceptions of "only grades", "only for further education" and "only for prestigious schools".

Such an educational ecology is not a good thing for all students, parents, and society as a whole.

  Emphasize that it is better to punish once a thousand times.

Some places have begun to punish and hold accountable for illegally hyping "the top scorer in the college entrance examination" and "good news of the college entrance examination".

For example, last year, a middle school in Shanxi was notified by the local education bureau for illegally promoting the college entrance examination champion and results. At the same time, the principal of the school was disqualified from evaluating models and promoting positions within five years.

This year, the documents in some places also made it clear that the units and individuals who hyped this kind of hype will be canceled all kinds of qualifications for evaluation, and they will be seriously investigated and dealt with.

This should arouse reflection and vigilance in more places and schools - be clever in implementing the ban, and sooner or later will "overturn".
