But this is an important primary school mathematics textbook in basic education, and this problem has become the target of public criticism, not just the art problem.
Because even an ordinary book wants to be published formally, it has to go through examination and approval, review and proofreading, among which review and proofreading are very important links. What's more, this is a primary school math textbook, and the pictures are completely ugly. I don't think the publishing house is responsible for perfection
Let me talk to you about auditing and proofreading.
In fact, it is very troublesome to check and proofread ordinary books. After proofreading, it should be reviewed, submitted to the superior and reviewed again.
If it is a teaching aid, the review process will be more complicated. The technical terms are "Three Examinations (Examinations), Three Schools (Schools)" and even "Three Examinations and Five Schools". Each round of review and proofreading has a different person in charge, who will sign for confirmation after review. If there is a problem in any link, it will be called back for revision.
The concrete steps of "three trials and three schools" are: the first trial of the chief editor, the second trial of the chief editor and the final trial of the executive chief editor; Three schools are one school, two schools and three schools. After the third proofreading, check the proofs. If no major revision is needed, it shall be submitted to the chief editor and the executive editor for approval, signature and date. After approval, it will be returned to the responsible editor and submitted to the responsible editor for word-by-word modification. After checking that there are no errors, the PS file will be released.
It can be seen that the publication of a book is really time-consuming and laborious, involving many details and steps, and it takes a long time to complete a whole process.
Of course, this is still an ideal state. Is there any problem? I don't know. For example, this primary school mathematics textbook should be flawed. For example, although it is signed by the person in charge, it is not impossible to pass it without careful consideration.
Another possibility is that the process of making books is too long, and each link takes a long time, which means it takes an editor a long time to earn money for a book. If we compress some links, publication will be faster. This phenomenon exists, but it must not be generalized.
People's Education Publishing House must face up to these problems. Primary school mathematics textbooks are related to the future of the motherland's flowers and should not be underestimated. In fact, neither illustrators nor auditors can understand truth, goodness and beauty, can they? You don't understand mainstream values, do you? But why is there a problem? Never avoid what is important, but pay attention to it.
At present, you can see that People's Education Publishing House has issued a statement, humbly adopting opinions from all walks of life, and is also preparing to redraw the cover and illustrations, which will improve the quality of illustrations in the future.
You should know the story "Bian Que meets Cai Huangong". I hope People's Education Publishing House won't wait for Bian Que to run away before thinking about treating diseases. Adhering to the social motto: dedication, preciseness, unity and innovation!
