The main differences between ordinary high school students and vocational school students are:
First, the academic system is slightly different. Ordinary high schools and vocational schools (junior high schools) generally have a three-year academic system, but vocational schools also have two-year and one-year non-academic education and short-term vocational skills training.
Second, the teaching content is different. The teaching contents of ordinary high schools mainly include Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history and geography, while the teaching contents of vocational schools include Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages and specialized courses.
Third, the admission scores are different. Although both ordinary high schools and vocational schools belong to high school education, they all enroll students in the same batch after the senior high school entrance examination, and they all implement the admission policy of "voluntary registration, unified marking and merit-based admission", because people have prejudice against vocational schools, the admission score of ordinary high schools has been higher than that of vocational schools for many years.
Fourth, the learning atmosphere is different. Ordinary high schools are rigorous in teaching and students have a good learning atmosphere, while vocational schools are mostly practice-oriented.
Fifth, the channels for further studies are different. Ordinary high school graduates can only take the college entrance examination and apply for the corresponding ordinary colleges and universities. Vocational school graduates can take the college entrance examination in addition to the general college entrance examination, but they can only apply for higher vocational colleges. Universities and colleges
Sixth, the degree of recognition is different. Although the academic qualifications of ordinary high schools and vocational schools are the same, the knowledge learned in ordinary high schools for three years is the basic knowledge of culture, while vocational schools have learned some basic professional knowledge and skills in addition to the main cultural courses. Therefore, the society thinks that vocational school graduates have certain professional skills and their working ability is stronger than that of ordinary high school students.
In short, no matter what the difference between ordinary senior high school students and vocational school students is, I think the main difference is not the school category, but the students' learning attitude and hard work. Because our destiny is in our own hands.
