Outside the consulting room of a key middle school in Beijing, the parents of twenty or thirty students were waiting anxiously with a thick stack of resumes in their hands.
On March 15, more than half an hour before going to work, twenty or thirty parents gathered outside the consulting room of a key middle school in Beijing, each holding a thick stack of resumes and waiting anxiously.
When the reporter asked them why they contacted junior high school only a few months before graduating from primary school, a parent hit the nail on the head: "It's too late to start now, and many parents of our children's classmates have gone to several key middle schools!"
Resume, grades, certificates, no more or less.
How many rich life experiences can a teenager have? The reporter glanced at several student resumes brought by parents. Almost every resume records the achievements of a primary school student in various subjects every semester, various competition awards and endless honorary titles. Even the simplest and smallest resume has 10 pages. The front cover, back cover and material binding are carefully planned by parents, and the thickness and exquisiteness are almost the same as those of job-seeking college students, in order to impress the material examiner and give the children a chance to enter the next round of competition. Ms. Chen from Haidian District told the reporter that in order to send her daughter a resume, she went to this school three times. "The first two resumes always don't meet the requirements of the school. This time, I finally put the information together! "
The same is the resume of primary school students, but the gap in "gold content" is not small. As soon as Ms. Lin, who lives in Dongcheng District, took out her son's resume, she immediately attracted envious eyes. "Look, there are so many award certificates for other children!" "It's all municipal, you must choose!" A parent with a district-level award certificate can't help sighing softly. After all, these certificates will become a quantitative basis for evaluating a child's struggle experience in primary school in the near future. For parents at the moment, they seem to be a prophecy of their children's future life path.
The staff of the consultation office carefully checked the resume information brought by each parent, and after checking it, they sent each parent a registration form for parents to fill in on the spot. The reporter lied that he was collecting the registration form from the parents of the students, and the answer was that he did not give the form without resume information, and he could not get all the resume information. The reporter asked whether the school should be officially registered. The staff member replied: "Parents can submit students' resumes first. "
"The' Spring Festival Cup' has been stopped. Where do the children go to get the certificate?"
Although Ms. Liu, who lives in Fengtai, holds a thick stack of various award-winning certificates and grade certificates in her son's primary school, her heart is still not practical. "I heard from many parents that the school still pays more attention to the results of the Olympic Games," Ms. Liu told reporters. "But now that the Spring Festival Evening Cup has stopped, what else can the children learn? Where to get the certificate? "
During the interview, many parents felt a little helpless about the "Spring Cup" being stopped. A parent who came to consult a child about to be promoted enthusiastically supported the parents of the child from primary school to junior high school, telling them what kind of awards can best highlight the potential of the child to win glory for the school in the future. "Now the exam and interview results are actually not so important. The key is to see how many awards you have won."
"Without the Spring Cup, what competition certificate is more useful?" Parents have asked this "experienced person" for experience. "General schools pay more attention to mathematics, and good mathematics can enter the experimental class. Cancel the' Spring Cup', the foreign language science and technology award is more important! " The "experienced person" also earnestly reminded the parents present.
"Reducing the burden", a forgotten topic
"Hey, it's really nice that your child has passed CET-2." A transcript of Ms. Cao's pet public English exam attracted the envy of many parents. On the award that is particularly arrogant in the eyes of many parents, there is an inch photo of a little boy in the middle of the dense English: thick lenses are attached to his immature face, and behind the lenses are a pair of dull eyes. Ms. Cao said that in her son's class, English level 2 is not uncommon, and some children have passed English level 3. Although the public English test is geared to the needs of the society, primary school students refer to it a lot now. More than half of her son's examination rooms are primary school students and junior high school students.
English, painting, music ... almost every parent has proof of their children's grades, from grade one to grade four and grade five. Although children try to get it in their spare time, many parents are not sure how much it can play in resume screening. Although the voice of "reducing the burden" has been called for many years, we can't see that children are a little relaxed from these grade certificates and award certificates alone.
During the interview, many parents were upset that there was no academic competition in the sixth grade, but after all, there were still several months before their children graduated. I believe that every parent will not give up any opportunity to increase their competitive capital. 12-year-old children will leave extremely busy memories in the last semester of primary school.
A parent's words may represent the voice of some parents: "How dare we' reduce the burden' on our children?
