In such a big city with a population of more than one million, there are only a few key high schools, but junior high schools are dotted around. The running quality and employment rate of vocational high schools are not satisfactory. This will inevitably lead to the phenomenon that thousands of troops will cross the wooden bridge and the past few will be torn down. There is a bottleneck phenomenon that the bottle is big and the neck is thin, which is the inevitable result of the serious imbalance in the scale ratio of junior high schools and senior high schools in cities in China.

There are too many people, there is no hope of employment, and the quality and reputation of running a school are not satisfactory. The only promising way for middle school students is to enter key high schools and universities! In fact, despite the efforts of 100% students, 100% parents and 100% schools every year, the success rate is basically unchanged, that is, at most 15% junior high school students can become "winners"! (Some schools may publish a larger proportion because of technical treatment. For example, the second day, persuasion? How many people are diverted to the denominator of vocational high schools, such as "remarriage halfway" or "transfer school" or mobilizing graduation, who are too late to regret it? How many are forced because key middle schools are out of reach? It is conceivable that 85% of junior high school students are losers! That's pathetic! This is the sorrow of junior high school education in China!

How can we solve or alleviate this contradiction? The best way is to appropriately expand the enrollment ratio of key high schools and provide a more relaxed education and teaching environment for junior high schools, so that junior high school students who are interested in taking the college entrance examination can basically distract their energy and time in junior high schools, and consider and prepare for the "X" or "synthesis" of the future college entrance examination based on their hobbies, which expands the time and space for quality education in junior high schools. It can be seen that the urgent task is to expand the capacity of key high schools (increase the number of students enrolled), that is, to expand the scale of running schools!

There are several problems to be solved in the expansion of key high schools.

1. Solve the problem of school buildings. Squeeze some money into the municipal budget and build one or two teaching buildings, which is not a big problem. Even if there is a problem, the general public can actively subscribe by issuing bonds.

2. The solution to the problem of teachers: Some teachers with strong professional ability in junior high schools can be competent for the teaching of key senior high schools, especially after the disintegration of the previous senior high schools into junior high schools. Some outstanding teachers have both junior high school teaching experience and senior high school teaching experience after teaching in junior high schools; It will be like a duck to water to transfer them to key high schools after expansion; Turn the existing ordinary high school into junior high school, in which excellent teachers are diverted to key high schools; Another advantage of staying in junior high school (from ordinary high school to junior high school) is to alleviate the contradiction of excessive class size in junior high school. The class size of junior high school is an important factor affecting the implementation of quality education. How can there be sixty or seventy students in a class in primary and secondary schools in developed countries? At present, there are too many classes in junior high schools in urban hotspots, which are not a class at all, but an enhanced "platoon". Even reached the level of "company". This will inevitably lead to extensive education management, and it is difficult to carry out intensive education management. Secondly, the distribution of undergraduate graduates is also a source.

3. The enrollment rate and the absolute number of students entering higher education. The enrollment rate can really reflect the teaching quality of a school and affect its social reputation. Therefore, some people will think that lowering the admission line of key high schools will definitely reduce the enrollment rate of college entrance examination, thus reducing the reputation of key high schools. Undoubtedly, the enrollment rate of key high schools will decrease after the expansion. In order to maintain the enrollment rate, is it one in a hundred? This is a laurel at the expense of the interests of most middle school students. If the "senior high school entrance examination" is one in a thousand, the enrollment rate of key high schools is likely to be 100%. Can you explain the high quality of your school? If a hospital only treats patients with headaches and colds, then the cure rate of this hospital must be 100%. Can you say this hospital is a first-class hospital? If the enrollment rate decreases by 10 percentage point after enrollment expansion, and 5 out of 100 students can be admitted to universities, then the social benefits can fully compensate for the losses caused by the "decreased enrollment rate"; Of the 65,438,000 students who have increased their abilities, 95 have not been admitted to universities, but their personal qualities have been improved to varying degrees through education in key high schools. It has laid a solid cultural foundation for future employment, and also eased the contradiction that a large number of junior high school graduates flock to the society as soon as they graduate, thus reducing the social pressure. Junior high school graduates are in the eventful autumn of life, and a large number of junior high school graduates flock to the society, which is also one of the sources of social instability. The crime rate is inversely proportional to the education level, so letting more people receive high school education is of great benefit to reducing the crime rate in the future society. This is also one of the measures to ensure long-term social stability.

To sum up, the expansion of key high schools can not reduce the quality of running schools, and it is feasible and has immeasurable social benefits. Changing the bottleneck phenomenon of conical bottles in urban junior and senior high schools into wide-mouth bottles can avoid congestion and give quality education a broad and free space.

Second, you are absolutely not allowed to have a second chance to take the senior high school entrance examination.

There is a "senior high school entrance examination" every year. However, every year when junior high school students arrive, there is only one chance to take the "senior high school entrance examination". This will inevitably cause great psychological pressure on students and parents. In their minds, the senior high school entrance examination is more supreme than the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination still has a way out. This year, they have fallen into Sun Shan, and they can still take the exam next year, but the senior high school entrance examination is not. If they can't get through, it's all over.

Such an examination system is simply too cruel for young junior high school students. Who hasn't made a mistake? Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the days of the "senior high school entrance examination"? Thirteen-and fourteen-year-old children are playful or inexperienced, don't realize the importance of learning, and often wake up before graduation. This is normal. However, this time, the "senior high school entrance examination" did not provide children with the opportunity to try "failure is the mother of success". Is it too hard on children? One of the signs of social progress and civilization is to provide everyone with many opportunities to try to succeed. The more opportunities, the more progress and the more civilization! Therefore, it is suggested to reform the "senior high school entrance examination" system, allow previous graduates to apply for the exam, allocate a small number of places to previous graduates from the total annual high school enrollment, and implement a mechanism in which the admission scores of current graduates and previous graduates coexist. The admission rate of previous graduates is lower than that of recent graduates. In principle, the admission score of previous graduates is higher than that of recent graduates. This is bound to reduce the psychological pressure of junior high school students and their parents. Letting former junior high school graduates take the "senior high school entrance examination" will make the "senior high school entrance examination" go down several steps in the minds of students, teachers and parents. In their minds, they can allow the "X" in the "3+ X" in the future college entrance examination, and they can also allow the "comprehensive" in the "3+ comprehensive". "X" or "synthesis" will occupy a place in the psychological space of students, parents and teachers. Otherwise, students can only have the quality of "3" (number, language and foreign language). Who will think about "X" (biology, geography, history, art and labor skills)? Let alone learn "X".

In my opinion, if the two problems of low admission rate and previous junior high school graduates can apply for the exam are solved, to a certain extent, quality education in the junior high school stage of nine-year compulsory education can be implemented, with both emphasis and foothold. Otherwise, quality education in junior high school is just a slogan and a fashionable package at best!

Third, open sesame? Key high schools are for every junior high school graduate.

The enrollment expansion of key high schools will break the pattern of serious imbalance in the scale of running junior high schools, so that every junior high school graduate has the opportunity to receive high school education, liberate junior high schools and untie the fetters of taking exams. So as to fully implement the education policy and offer courses prescribed by the state. Parents, schools, students and teachers will no longer be eager for quick success. In order to meet the college entrance examination, for the children's future and for the children's sustainable development in the future, we must consider the "X" or "comprehensive" in the college entrance examination. There may be the idea of getting the first move. According to children's hobbies, future value orientation and value development trend, we should urge and guide children to "learn" geography, biology or history in the nine-year compulsory education stage ... In view of the actual scale of key high schools, junior high school graduates can't get what they want if they want to go to high school. How to solve this problem in a short time? The author believes that the system of charging and granting scholarships to all senior high school students can achieve the best of both worlds. All students who receive high school education have to pay fees and be placed in classes according to the normal placement method. According to the total number of graduates in that year or according to the appropriate charging standard, this fee will not exceed the current charging standard, which is recognized and borne by parents (preferential loans that individual students cannot afford) and does not violate relevant laws and regulations. After students finish high school to take the college entrance examination, according to the number of students admitted to universities, or according to the situation of exceeding the score line of the college entrance examination, scholarships are formulated and distributed as appropriate, and the amount is equivalent to or not less than the amount of money paid for entering the first year of high school. Those with excellent grades can appropriately increase scholarships. The author believes that if the government has this reform measure, buildings will rise in a year or two, and teachers will not be a constraint. All elite soldiers will gather in key high schools. By then, the junior high school campus will become a paradise for quality education, rather than the packaging that requires both examinations and quality education today. There will be no serious partiality in high school campus, because every student, every parent, every teacher and every school knows the role of "X" or "synthesis" in the college entrance examination.
