Looking at the above content alone, it is not that the parents concerned can't see anything unusual, can't see what impact this policy has on parents, and why parents are anxious and painful.

There are several problems with this policy, which make the parents of hundreds of outstanding students in the province feel very anxious and have great difficulties.

1, 20 12 In July, the Hunan Provincial Department of Education issued the Notice on Resuming Enrollment of Changsha No.1 Middle School and the High School Affiliated to Hunan Normal University.

Document of Provincial Education Department 2065438+02 July

However, in the actual implementation in recent years, the four famous universities in Changsha have selected students by issuing their own papers, organizing their own or entrusting institutions to organize examinations. Every year, thousands of local students actually sign up for the selection exams of various schools. The four famous universities select students who are mainly in mathematics and physics through papers that are more difficult than the senior high school entrance examination and various competitions organized by the departments.

For example, Chang Jun organized the Chengchi Cup and the Rock Climbing Cup. Through several procedures, such as preliminary competition, semi-final competition and final competition, several rounds of screening were carried out, and students with outstanding professional expertise in mathematics and science were selected to sign the contract. In recent years, there are about 500,000-600,000 junior high school graduates in the province, and 400 outstanding children have been selected. It can be said that he is a truly outstanding student in a thousand.

In previous years, this group of contracted students can enter the four famous schools in advance before the winter vacation in the third grade at the earliest, or learn the high school content in advance under the guidance and planning of the four famous schools. Some students began to participate in the five major disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information.

In recent years, this group of students from all over the city who have been screened into the four prestigious schools are all excellent. According to online parents' incomplete estimation, these students will account for 40-45% of the outstanding achievements in five disciplines competitions of four famous universities in Changsha.

Therefore, for the four famous universities in Changsha, these students are an important part of the outstanding students in the school, and they have to fight for it every year. For the parents and children who have been selected and signed up, this is not only a form to prove the Excellence of their children. It is a great honor to train several students who can sign up for the four famous schools in Changsha in a year in the junior middle school of the city. It is also an important step for students to enter a prestigious school in the college entrance examination.

This signing is the dream of some outstanding children in the city to study in junior high school for three years. Many children have made great efforts to this end, and their parents have also made great efforts and financial resources.

The mother of a pair of twin girls in Hengshan County, Hengyang City, said that the two daughters were excellent since childhood and were admitted to a private junior high school in Changsha at the beginning of junior high school. Because I was too young to give up, I finally chose a local private school and promised them that I would go to Changsha if I was admitted to Changsha No.4 Middle School in the senior high school entrance examination. ...

The mother said that as a rural woman with a junior high school education, the pressure to raise three children is very, very great. In the past three years, she has worked hard to be admitted to No.4 Middle School of Changsha University.

The educational resources in the county are limited. In order to be admitted to the fourth grade, last summer vacation, in order to catch up with the curriculum content of the third grade, the teacher was asked to attend classes alone, physics, chemistry, mathematics and English, in the afternoon and evening, for a whole month. Even though last year's flood went backwards every day, they were not tired of shouting. ...

Before, I was worried that one of them could not pass the exam. More importantly, the two children got solid grades, and the gap was not big, because after all, the improvisation of the exam was uncertain.

In the end, after all kinds of hardships, both daughters were admitted to Yali Middle School, which is the pride of their mother.

However, after the introduction of the new policy of the education department on June 29, all this has changed greatly!

First of all, the New Deal denied these children's previous contracts with the Big Four, so all the efforts made by the children for the Big Four selection and the multiple rounds of selection examinations they participated in were invalid. Now, at the moment when the senior high school entrance examination is about to take place, a new policy has been issued, which requires cities to be re-ranked according to their senior high school entrance examination results. So in recent years, these children have not only learned that the content beyond the difficulty of textbooks is useless in the selection of reading, but also delayed the study of in-class courses, which not only has no advantage, but also has a huge disadvantage.

Parents all know that the senior high school entrance examination is not difficult. Being able to enter the top few and top ten among tens of thousands of people requires not only strength, but also very good luck.

And strangely, the enrollment of key middle schools in cities and counties ended before the end of June. These children will naturally give up local key high schools because they have enrolled in four prestigious schools in Changsha. Now these children who have signed up for the Big Four in Changsha, if they can't come to Changsha, they won't even get into the local key middle schools. It is very likely that they can only enter the local ordinary high school with a passable senior high school entrance examination result.

The deadline for the New Deal to apply for Changsha University IV is tomorrow (July 15), and the confirmation and admission time will be postponed until the end of July and the beginning of August. At the end of July and the beginning of August, ordinary high schools in various cities should fill in the report immediately after the results of the senior high school entrance examination come out.

Imagine, in this case, if the children who signed up for the Big Four in Changsha were not accepted in the end, where would the children go?

As the mother of the twin girls said above: In the past, our county could fill in Hengyang High School, but this year we can't cross the county, so we can only enroll students independently. On June 9, Hengyang No.8 Middle School (a famous Hengyang school) called many times to invite our children to study at school and gave them a cash reward policy free of tuition. Finally, we refused. But now, it is very likely that we will not go to Yali Middle School, and even the retreat of Hengyang No.8 Middle School is broken.

That's a big circle ... If the child can only attend an ordinary high school in the county, then why should I spend so much energy, manpower and financial resources ... At present, the child is convinced that he will definitely go to Changsha, and I dare not say too much for fear of affecting the senior high school entrance examination.

I think, if we think about it carefully, we can all feel the great anxiety and helplessness of this mother.

There are many situations like this mother. In this case, children and parents are under great pressure. In the past, others looked at these children with envious eyes, but now they are sympathetic. The child didn't say anything, but he felt very uncomfortable. After the senior high school entrance examination, it is difficult to guarantee that some emotions of children will not break out.

In the past few days after the introduction of the policy, parents who have signed up for Changsha Big Four encouraged each other, comforted each other and learned information from all sides.

However, it is said that in this matter, the main meaning of the hall's reply to parents is: first, there are problems to communicate with Changsha's four major universities; Second, wait until the results of the senior high school entrance examination come out at the end of July, and then give a formal reply.

Parents interpret the reply of the provincial office as: looking for the big four, the big four have no right to decide. Waiting for the results of the senior high school entrance examination, the day lily is cold.

The problem is far from dissatisfaction with the signing parents.

According to the news, the overall reform direction of education at present is: promoting education equity, promoting the allocation of places at the starting point of junior high school and enrollment nearby, and restricting the cross-regional school selection at the starting point of junior high school. Then on June 29th, the document made it clear that four universities in Changsha could enroll students in local cities 100. Is this in line with the overall direction of education reform?

Before April, four famous universities in Changsha organized entrance examinations according to the plan approved by the previous education department, selected outstanding students in the city, and signed contracts with students according to the usual practice. After the policy of the education department (allowing schools to organize unified testing and selection of 1000 registered students after the senior high school entrance examination) was promulgated in early April, it seems that there is no problem to inform the contracted students and arrange the selection after the senior high school entrance examination according to the policy of the education department.

However, the sudden introduction of new regulations on June 29 not only denied the practices of the four famous schools in the past few years, but also denied their own policies just introduced in early April. Because the four probabilities can't select the students who want academic specialties, the follow-up work of a pool of contracted students is left to the school.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Big Four to recruit students this year.

Also, the local education bureau said, what about local education if this policy is introduced to recruit local students?

Therefore, this is a new policy that many parties find difficult!

It is predicted that, under this policy, the number of winners in five disciplines competitions of four famous universities in Changsha will drop by more than 50% every year, and dozens of students in Hunan Province will be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University.

His analysis is like this, and Lao Wen feels very reasonable.

On the one hand, there is no shortage of environment and resources for learning the five major subject competitions in middle schools in cities. Most students with scientific expertise in cities cannot enter the top four through the results of senior high school entrance examinations and are scattered in middle schools in various cities. In the absence of professional competition coaches and competition resources in local middle schools, schools will not attach importance to subject competitions, and it is difficult for students to dare to invest too much energy in the study of subject competitions. Therefore, it is difficult to stand out from the increasingly fierce academic competition on a strong foundation.

On the other hand, when children enrolled in Changsha are studying academic competitions, a considerable number of children who have been trained in advance need to occupy 100 places in the city to enter the four famous schools. Now that this access is gone, junior high school students in Changsha should give priority to the six-year senior high school entrance examination before they can enter the prestigious academic competition.

In this way, in fact, children who learn the competition will start later than others, and it will be more difficult to gain a competitive advantage in the national competition. Naturally, some of these children will not fully study the competition.

In addition, because of the decrease of competition students, the overall quality of competition students in various schools will naturally decrease. Relatively speaking, the rest of the children who study in the competition have no better competition learning atmosphere, and the possibility of achieving excellent results is reduced.

Now that the new deal has been introduced, it is natural to implement it. In the face of current difficulties, Lao Wen has several suggestions:

For the students who have signed up for the big four, I won't say much about comfort. I think:

1. It is appropriate, necessary, meaningful and valuable to actively maintain communication with various channels and seek suitable solutions.

2. At the same time, we should fully keep in touch with the four famous universities, not only fully understand their positions and difficulties, but also sincerely explore solutions that are in line with policies and have characteristics. After all, the four famous schools have been famous for many years, and the school can think of angles and programs that parents can't think of.

3. Communicate with children more, maintain the best parent-child relationship, and spend the most painful and psychological gap together.

For junior children who are interested in applying for the four famous schools in Changsha and those who are interested in learning the competition in advance in junior high school, Lao Wen thinks:

Through the New Deal on June 29th, we can see that the trend of education has really changed.

The year after next year, the opening of special entrance channels for special students in academic competitions is getting narrower and narrower, which is basically out of reach.

In the lower grades, it is extremely important to give priority to ensuring Excellence in all subjects, especially liberal arts courses such as Chinese and English. It's getting harder and harder to get ahead only in math and physics.
