19 17 years, Liang Shuming failed in the Peking University entrance examination. Cai Yuanpei, then president of Peking University, appreciated Liang Shuming's talent and invited him to be a lecturer in Peking University. Liang Shuming lived up to Cai Yuanpei's hopes. He studied hard, and later caused a sensation in academic circles with the book "Chinese and Western Cultures and Their Philosophy", and eventually became a famous professor and scholar.

I would like to ask: If Liang Shuming didn't meet Cai Yuanpei, who "drops talents without sticking to one pattern", and met an examiner who only looked at grades but not abilities, would he still be a lecturer at Peking University? Presumably, it will become a victim of "only points are lifted".

Does the score equal the ability? I was thinking.

Throughout history, we can find that there are very few top students in high schools in history of qing dynasty, and even fewer middle school students. Perhaps you still remember Zhang Ji, who failed in the list, stayed up all night beside Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City and wrote the well-known a night-mooring near maple bridge. However, who will remember who was the number one scholar of to beno. 1?

"Mr. Liao Zhai" Pu Songling experienced numerous imperial examinations in his life, but he tried again and again. However, this does not prevent future generations from recognizing his ability. It is the most pertinent evaluation of his works by later generations that "writing ghosts and people is better, stabbing greed and stabbing abuse to the bone"

This shows that people with strong ability are not necessarily people with high scores, so people with high scores must be strong? Not exactly.

Chen Danqing, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, wants to recruit graduate students by herself, because she found that the graduate students recruited by the school have a high level of English, but their painting level is average. Facing the graduate students who can't even translate a classical Chinese, a history professor at a university in Shanghai exclaimed: "We need talents who can solve practical problems with historical knowledge, not mediocre people who only memorize history textbooks."

Zhang Fei, a genius in college entrance examination, was admitted to Peking University twice and Tsinghua once in four years, but was expelled from Peking University Tsinghua because of his infatuation with the Internet. A person who can "dominate" the college entrance examination can't resist the temptation of the internet. Is this Zhang Fei's personal sorrow? Or the sadness of China's talent selection criteria?

Just as "money is not everything, you can't do anything without it", for contemporary China students, "scores are not everything, but you can't do anything without them". However, to what extent scores can reflect a person's ability, and how to make everyone's ability best displayed through scores should be a problem that educators should actively think about.

It is true that strong ability does not necessarily mean high score, and high score does not mean strong ability. However, if our education department can make some adjustments to the selection criteria so that the ability can be reflected in the scores to the maximum extent, I believe it will be of great benefit to the selection of talents. Fortunately, the relevant departments have realized this problem. The reform of new curriculum standard is being carried out everywhere, and the proposition trend of college entrance examination is also changing from emphasizing knowledge to emphasizing ability. We have reason to believe that with the deepening of curriculum reform, our talent selection criteria will gradually change and our talent quality will continue to improve.
