Educational stratification is not the unfair distribution of educational resources in the usual sense, for example, developed areas and wealthy people account for more educational resources.
Educational stratification is mainly reflected in three levels:
In a macro sense, the education and training paths of children and grandchildren in the bottom, middle and top society are differentiated. In this way, the descendants of each level can only be in their own class, and it is difficult to cross to a higher class.
Typical class society:
A person's class is determined by blood, and has nothing to do with wealth and social status. However, China has never had a real class society since ancient times.
The imperial examination education in ancient China was the same for everyone in terms of educational content and objectives. There are differences in educational resources, but there is no differentiation in educational purposes. The imperial examination (college entrance examination) system promoted the opening of society and the mobility of the upper and lower classes.
Under the system of community autonomy, property tax provides education, so the educational resources in poor areas and rich areas are very different.
The mainstream social elite in America is the Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP). Ivy League private schools (rattan schools) are essentially the environment for elite communities to cultivate future generations. Rattan School has achieved two goals through various requirements for quality education:
China people often can't get the admission to the rattan school when they meet the standards in all aspects. For example, the Yu-Wen Wang case rejected by Harvard.
Characteristics of private university enrollment:
In order to exclude other ethnic groups, a series of thresholds have been set up:
At present, in the United States, the main ways to get admission to rattan schools are:
In this reality, it is difficult for the descendants of non-elite class to enter the rattan school system, and Matthew effect solidified the society. In contrast, under the exam-oriented education in China, social mobility is greater.
Measures to avoid poverty
However, the poor in America can't do it. Rooted in community influence and cognitive limitations:
The thinking and cognition of the poor determine their inability to change their destiny. The poor rely more on the sense of security, and it is more difficult to break through their own status quo.
The factors that affect a person's cognitive level are: educational background, parents and friends, and social community.
Everyone's name is limited by their own cognition. It is also difficult for the middle class to break through its own limitations and understand the thoughts of the upper elite. Refuse to change your mind.
The essence of class stratification is the stratification of ideas.
The stratification of education is mainly reflected in three aspects:
Educational objectives of three classes:
The training goal of the middle class is to become better and be chosen. It's like mass production of high-quality handicrafts, not works of art.
The training mode of private schools does not emphasize discipline. Education learns to appreciate, choose and change the world.
It can be seen that the higher the social class, the more important the role of the family. Education has become more of a continuation of the development of family groups.
The stratification of wealth in China society has basically taken shape, and the stratification of education has not yet started obviously. The inevitable factors of social stratification:
Facing the inevitable trend of social stratification, it is more and more important to constantly improve one's cognitive level-cognitive upgrade (Luo Pang advertisement).
No matter how the class is divided, there are people beyond the times in every era, and we call them heroes.
Beyond one's own class and beyond one's own cognition.
Social differentiation and educational differentiation are inevitable trends.
Educational stratification is an inevitable choice for the elite to maintain its dominant position.
Through the existing advantages, we will occupy the future development resources and avoid the end of "being rich for three generations".
My present struggle determines the starting point of future children, and my cultural quality affects the origin of children.
They try to change themselves:
Change the next generation:
To be responsible for the future, we must constantly improve our requirements for ourselves. Improve yourself and upgrade your cognition.
