Li Hua (a pseudonym), a fourth-grade parent, both graduated from Tsinghua University. The couple have a lot of complaints about the suspension of the Olympic Cup. "We all come from small cities and have won the first prize in various Olympic Games since childhood. If there is no Olympiad, how can we poor students go to Peking University Tsinghua? Without the Olympiad, China's mathematical genius was not cultivated from then on? "

My son is currently studying in a public primary school in Shanghai, and his mother Li Hua has never enrolled him in an Olympic math training class. However, when the child was in the third grade, she consciously collected some Olympic math problems for her children to learn by themselves. "He really belongs to the kind of child who has the spare capacity to study and likes mathematics."

Li Hua introduced that in the third grade, the children won the first prize in the "naked test" central cup and the small clever cup (the four Olympic cups in Shanghai). This year, Li Hua, who originally wanted her children to try cups, found that the competition could not even be registered. "Small clever cup was suspended; The Central Cup is said to be registered secretly, but we missed it. I signed up for the Walking Beauty Cup and stopped before the exam. I finally signed up for the National China Cup and was stopped. "

The suspension of the "China Cup" made Li Hua "sad" most. She and her husband are big fans of China Cup. Thanks to their outstanding performance in the "China Cup", both of them entered the highest universities in China after the college entrance examination.

In fact, not only in Shanghai's "junior high school" stage, but also in the national college entrance examination stage, the results of the Olympic Games are the "reference values" with the highest gold content.

Before 20 15, if the five disciplines can win the first prize at the provincial level, they will have the opportunity to walk to famous schools such as Tsinghua, Peking University and China University of Science and Technology. Since 20 15, the Ministry of Education has cancelled the provision of extra points for the Olympic Games awards, but the Olympic Games awards can directly qualify for the reduction of points for independent enrollment in colleges and universities.

"Every child's situation is different. Some children really have the hope of becoming top students in mathematics, and they can't be broken. " Li Hua represents the attitude of some parents of top students. "If there is no Olympic Games, how can top students prove their abilities?"

The reporter learned that Orsay has indeed selected a large number of high-quality innovative talents around the world. For example, the students of the basic disciplines of mathematics and physics in the international Olympic Games provide a continuous reserve force for innovative talents and academic talents from all walks of life. Take the Fields Medal, the highest prize in the academic field of mathematics, as an example. According to statistics, from 1.990 to 2005, this prize was awarded to 26 mathematicians, among whom 1.3 was a former gold medal winner of the International Mathematical Olympiad.

"Originally, we took Huayu (a private junior high school in Shanghai-reporter's note) for Xiaoshengchu, and felt that children could enter on their own. I'm fine now. I can't even get my certificate. How can I get into a prestigious school? Depend on relationships? By money? " Li Hua said that the parents of primary school students are all born after 70 s and 80 s, and they will not force their children to learn Olympic Mathematics when their children have strong resistance and dislike mathematics very much. "It's all about choosing a school. What's the use of stopping the Olympic Games and not choosing a school? "

Li Hua noted that the Ministry of Education only temporarily suspended the Olympic Games to further sort out the norms, not permanently suspended the Olympic Games. "I suggest that the competitions organized by government departments can continue in the future, and the competitions organized by training institutions should be strictly controlled."

Desalinate the exam, there will be a series of supporting policies.

Tang Xiaojie, deputy director of the Institute of Private Education of Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, has long noticed the parents' mentality of "competing for a prestigious school without a certificate". He told reporters that this is a normal "painful period" that may occur after policy changes.

"The Education Commission has long had a policy that private primary and secondary schools in Shanghai are not allowed to enroll students according to the results of the Olympic Games. However, there are always individual schools that violate the rules, which has caused parents' anxiety to some extent. "Tang Xiaojie said that the fundamental means to solve parents' anxiety and chicken blood should be to achieve compulsory education as balanced as possible. "When the level of public schools and private schools is similar, parents may not fight like this."

In fact, this year, Shanghai has introduced a new policy of "residents moving together". More and more parents are beginning to weigh the pros and cons-is it worth giving up a good public school in order to get into a prestigious private school?

Tang Xiaojie revealed that the future trend is to "encourage admission nearby" and downplay exams. "The enrollment quota of private schools will also be controlled. In some districts, the enrollment ratio of private schools has reached 20% to 30%, which is unscientific. " He also revealed another possibility-going to a private school by drawing lots. "Nanjing and Hangzhou have tried to go to private schools by lottery, and schools are not encouraged to' pick students' through the cup."

265438+Xiong Bingqi, Vice President of the 20th Century Institute of Education, began to pay attention to the connection between the Olympic Games and admission as early as 10 years ago. However, over the years, on the one hand, the education department has repeatedly applied, on the other hand, the competition is still fierce. "Some schools and training institutions cooperate to carry out' secret exams', and some competition organizers use the school's recognition of competition results as competition propaganda."

He believes that although the Olympic Games will be temporarily suspended, there will be a new "Olympic Games" if the school's illegal enrollment cannot be severely investigated and the school's responsibility can be investigated. In real life, this is difficult to implement. "Some private schools have too many applicants, and the local education department requires private schools to enroll students without holding a written test. Just need an interview. From the actual situation, private schools should select outstanding students from so many applicants. Will they not know about the students' winning in the competition? "

Xiong Bingqi's view is just the opposite of parents' idea of "encouraging the government to host the Olympic Games". He thinks that the competition supported by the government should stop. "This kind of competition is dominated by the government, and the administration gives authority, which will breed various problems." He believes that as long as non-governmental organizations standardize competition organizations and provide evaluation reference for students, students can choose independently. "There is no reason for government departments to stop."

Experts and parents agree that as long as there is a choice of schools, there will be tools for choosing schools. Cancel this tool, there will be another tool, cancel the open competition, there will be underground or cottage competition.

"The children are very bitter. I see many primary school students have no rest days from Monday to Sunday. This trend must be curbed first. " Tang Xiaojie said that parents want their children to become "dragons and phoenixes among people" through reading, but there is no absolute connection between "reading well" and "success", and the Olympic Mathematics is not suitable for children of primary school age. "People are not only IQ, but also EQ. In the Olympic environment, children have become bookworms. What hope does the country have in the future? "
