I changed my Chinese to grade five this time. The class with the highest average score in the town is 69 points, and the passing rate is about 70%, while the class with the lowest average score is only 48 points, and the passing rate is only 20%. This result is really not ideal, but it is not surprising, because the average score of fifth-grade Chinese in the whole town has been around this score for the past two years.
Students teach in primary schools in the city. They also teach Grade Five. The final exam papers are unified in the whole region, and some comparisons can be made. According to the data provided by him, the average score of Chinese in grade five in their school this year is 82, and the passing rate is generally around 90%.
Compared with urban schools, it is not difficult to understand that there is a gap in performance between rural schools and urban schools. After all, the teaching software and hardware in urban schools are good, and parents attach great importance to education. More importantly, it is common for children in urban schools to attend various cram schools, so their grades will naturally be better.
But the gap this semester is a little wider than before. Why? Is it because the teacher's teaching ability has declined? Or is it because the management level of the school can't keep up? I think the quality of teaching in rural schools is gradually declining for the following reasons:
The first is the problem of students. At present, there are about 2000 primary school students in our town, including about 1200 students in the central headquarters and 800 students in the following ten small villages. Two or three years ago, there were more than 4000 students in our township. There were 12 small villages at that time. No village primary school has more than 100 students, or even more than 300 students.
In recent years, with the deepening of urbanization, more and more rural people have bought houses in cities. Many parents buy houses just to let their children study in the city. Most parents who buy a house in the urban area attach importance to their children's education, have certain economic strength and are willing to invest in their children's education. Therefore, students who transfer to urban areas generally get better grades.
Most of the students who stay in township primary schools have poor family conditions, some parents have no time to take care of them, and they don't pay much attention to their children's education. Some schools in the city are also unwilling to accept them because of their poor grades. The decline of students' quality is an important reason for the decline of rural teaching quality.
Secondly, the problem of teachers. Rural schools are remote, with inconvenient transportation and difficult living conditions. With the aging and retirement of a generation of middle school students, young teachers newly recruited and distributed in rural schools have become the main force. They are not used to rural life and want to leave when they come.
These young teachers can't stay for a year or two. Some of them left despondently after passing the selection exam, some found a relationship, and some simply resigned to see the outside world. Teachers came one after another like leeks, and parents were very helpless. They called them "iron camps and mobile soldiers", and finally they remembered that they had another teacher.
Teachers are frequently transferred, and those with a little teaching experience are constantly supplemented by normal students. Rural schools have become "new teacher training centers", and the teaching quality is naturally difficult to improve.
Of course, another reason is also very important, that is, there is a gap between rural parents' educational concepts and their emphasis on education. There is a new teacher in the school who insists on posting homework in the group every day and asks parents to upload homework to the group for inspection every day. This should be a common practice in urban areas. But in less than a week, the teacher was angry and cried by his parents, who angrily denounced the teacher for wasting his parents' time, having no teaching methods, not wanting to teach well, and trying to make trouble with his parents ...
Many rural parents think that education is a school matter. Parents are only responsible for logistics, and children can't be frozen and hungry. Teachers communicate with parents about students' grades. Parents often say: there is too much work at home, and children's teachers should worry more. Our level is limited and we really can't control it.
Other parents think that reading is not important, as long as they can study, they can work to earn money to support their families, so they are indifferent to the students' grades, and the teachers ask more questions or even get impatient. They never care about their children's homework during the holidays, so how can they improve their grades?
It is an indisputable fact that the quality of rural education has declined. There are many reasons, including educational environment, parents, teachers and so on. The development of education needs to be balanced, and how to make rural children enjoy high-quality educational resources is a very urgent problem.
