And the front page article of the last issue of Southern Weekend, "Poor children have no spring? -Why are children from poor families getting farther and farther away from first-tier universities? He also expressed concern about the social phenomenon that it is difficult for poor families to have more children. The family history of the post-50 s and post-60 s is inseparable from the keyword "poor children in rural areas"; After 70 s and 80 s, rural children went to cities to work and start businesses, creating a new term "Phoenix Man"; Why do people born after 90 s and 00 s encounter the embarrassment of "it is difficult to give birth to a child in a cold door"? Is it really difficult to have a baby in a poor family?
Weibo investigation
More than half of netizens think that "it is difficult to live in a cold door."
Netizen linyang222 claimed to be a middle school teacher. He said the post was "not sensational" and expressed concern that "the children of the poor really might be marginalized".
Linyang222 said that in a city where he lives (also a special economic zone, but not Shenzhen), "the top students in the school, or the top students in the college entrance examination, have basically good family conditions ... most of the top students in the school also have excellent family economic conditions. They are monitor or study committee members, and they are well educated. In fact, their grades are all good, except for tutoring. ! "Linyang222 lamented that at that time, his good grades were almost inversely proportional to his family conditions, but the situation has obviously changed in recent years. "It is not enough for children from poor families to suffer hardships if they want to get good grades. In terms of knowledge, the starting line has been lowered by one level ... "
Sina and Tencent are doing a survey in Weibo, which proves linyang222' s personal feelings. As of 15, on 10, Sina Weibo had 19488 netizens who voted, and 58% of them thought it was the inevitable result of unbalanced educational resources. 12% people think that children should not be expected to get ahead without money; In addition, 18% people disagree with this view. They don't think being the number one scholar is necessarily the way out. There are also 12% people who think that learning depends on themselves.
Nearly 7,000 people voted in Tencent Weibo, and 52% of them thought it was difficult for poor children to get the same education treatment. 13% people have their own understanding that good grades do not mean "your son"; There are also 12% people who think that gold can shine everywhere; 23% people think that the factors behind it are complicated and difficult to say.
Netizens are worried.
Zhou Qifeng's "myth" is hard to reproduce?
From 65438 to 0965, Zhou Qifeng, a native of Shangbu Village, Long Fu Town, Liuyang, was admitted to the Chemistry Department of Peking University with excellent results. From his hometown to Changsha, he walked barefoot for two days and nights. Forty-three years later, the poor boy became the president of Peking University. Not only Zhou Qifeng, but also Pan Shiyi and Yu are all poor people ... Once, there were countless such examples.
But now, most netizens think that such a "myth" is difficult to reproduce. Because of the growing educational differences, it is not enough for poor children to suffer hardships if they want to get good grades. Linyang222 bluntly said, "Poor students lost at the starting line of education."
His views have won the support of many netizens. Some netizens said: "Good education really needs a lot of money, prenatal education needs money, early education classes need money, and various interest classes need money. My relative's child is only 5 years old and has invested six figures in education, learning piano, ballet, painting, English and so on. " Now the junior high school exam is not about academic performance, but about Olympiad and English. Parents have to spend money on these two courses to give their children training courses.
20 1 1 a study on the equity of higher education in China shows that the proportion of rural students in key universities in China has been declining since the 1960s. The proportion of rural students in Peking University has dropped from 30% to 10%, while rural students of grade 20 10 in Tsinghua only account for 17%. Jin Jun, a lecturer in the Social Sciences Department of Tsinghua University College of Humanities, conducted a two-year survey of Tsinghua students. The typical image of a Tsinghua undergraduate is as follows: born in a city, parents are civil servants or teachers, travel with their parents at least once a year, and even have high school study abroad experience.
Educator Yang Dongping's research shows that rural students are mainly concentrated in ordinary local universities and colleges. "The proportion of rural students in our school accounts for 70% to 80%." Wang Shifeng, director of the Admissions and Employment Department of Hunan Industrial Vocational and Technical College, said that it has become the expectation of many rural parents to let their children learn a skill and let them settle down. Ye Lizu, vice president of Hunan Vocational College of Information Science, also said that about 70% of the students in the school come from rural areas.
expert opinion/advice
Poor students can become "aristocratic children" as long as they work hard.
In a recent home visit, a middle school teacher in Changsha found that poor students have few extracurricular books except textbooks, and their reading range is very narrow. Their parents are usually busy making a living, and their education for their children is limited to eating and wearing warm clothes, and their children pay little attention to learning. Nowadays, the society is demanding more and more talents, not only by examination results, but also by comprehensive quality.
Shang Zhongsheng, an associate professor of political science and international relations at the School of Politics and Public Administration of Wuhan University, believes that the phenomenon of "it is difficult for poor families to have expensive children" is objective. First of all, the topics of college entrance examination are not good for rural children, such as some online languages that appear in the exam, which rural children may not have been exposed to; Secondly, most of the "poor students" have narrow information; Thirdly, poor students lack social relations, which is not conducive to their development.
However, Mr. Liu, a professor at a university in Changsha, said that children from poor families can also win the college entrance examination and attend prestigious schools, but they pay more energy and suffer more than children from superior families. People from poor families, although backward in the early stage, can make up for it the day after tomorrow. As long as you work hard, you can still be a "baby boy". For example, he has a notebook for a long time, but he can only play games and chat, and you can learn programming completely; For example, he is a returnee, but he may be addicted to feasting, but you can get what he can't get at home. If you are depressed because you are behind in the start, there will be nothing in the future; On the contrary, people with starting devices and running shoes sometimes run worse than barefoot people.
An education expert from Hunan Normal University believes that being a "noble child" has little to do with whether you are born in poverty or not. Giants can indeed prepare more material advantages for their children, or pave the way for the future, but whether they can really become "baby children" depends entirely on their own nature, relying on their loved ones, and most importantly, relying on themselves.
Hong Zhanhui said.
"It is better to fight than to complain."
Hong Zhanhui, a figure who moved China and a national moral model, said that "it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble child", which reflected the unfairness of current educational resources. "I am a child of a poor family in rural areas and I am deeply impressed by this matter. In our generation, if hundreds of children go to school in a village, only a few people will go to college. "
"Poor students in rural areas really don't have many advantages at the starting point, and they can only make up for it by paying more. But I also think this matter is not so absolute. Although we are not as good as rich children in resources and environment, we have our advantages in spirit and ability-especially tenacity and persistence. " Hong Zhanhui encourages poor students to have a good attitude under any circumstances, never underestimate themselves and never give up easily.
"Our present does not represent our future. Instead of complaining about this and that, we should work hard and shoulder our responsibilities to make everything better. If there are still people who complain that parents and grandparents have not let you live a good life, then we must start from ourselves and strive to make parents and children live a good life in the future. " Hong Zhanhui said.
Students from poor families
"I became a laggard in the information age"
He, a 2009 student of Chinese Department of Central South University, comes from the mountainous area of Guizhou. "After entering the university campus, I found that many new things around me had never been touched by myself, and many answers could not be found in books. I feel that I am a laggard in this information age. " He said to Xiao Wei.
In the dormitory, He Xiao Wei was very silent. "I don't know the topics that many students talk about, and I don't know how to interrupt." He envied one of his roommates, Changsha. He is good at speaking, presiding, debating, playing the piano and singing ..... "I am determined to catch up with them by my own efforts, although I know this distance is far away." He said to Xiao Wei.
Walk with extra points, and most of the indicators are taken over by famous universities in provinces and cities; Self-enrollment examination, which benefits students with comprehensive quality in the college entrance examination, has also become a mirage that poor students can't eat. In this network era, poor students in rural and urban areas have become information deserts due to limited economic conditions, and their "thirst for talent" has become more and more prominent.
"I can solve the problem of why the cup lid and the sewer lid are round, but don't ask me' what is the cloud' or' what does embarrassment mean'." On July 5 this year, outside the comprehensive evaluation admission examination room held by Central South University, Xie Yong, a "top student" of a rural middle school in Huaihua, told reporters with an uneasy expression, "I seldom surf the Internet on weekdays. In school, in addition to books, I have been making up network hotspots these days. " Because of his outstanding performance, he was very nervous when he was recommended by the school to participate in the comprehensive evaluation. He kept rubbing his hands and his pants were sweaty. In another examination room, Chen Zhuoren from Changsha used his performance to relieve his nervousness, and stood in front of the podium and sang the network hit song "uneasy", which won a lot of applause.
