Hebei Province has such a national famous super school, which was born under the system of exam-oriented education. Strict and cold management not only makes students stand out, but also makes many onlookers feel terrible. That is Hengshui.
Hengshui is a well-known name for educational circles, media, families and even the unrelated public. There are many discussions and contradictions about it. Some people look forward to it, some people are mixed with criticism, but they are more on the sidelines, only giving a terrible sigh during the college entrance examination, a terrible enrollment rate and a terrible teaching model.
The emergence of Hengshui is mainly due to its "public" mode. No matter how famous the national high schools are, the scale will not be very large. There are only 1000 students in each session, mainly because there is no financial support, so one school can't be monopolized and the teaching balance in the province can't be destroyed.
However, Hengshui has taken a loophole. There are public Hengshui and private Hengshui. The two schools enjoy normal education, the enrollment scale is greatly expanded, and huge tuition fees are charged.
The funds are invested in teaching and research such as teachers, and the large-scale "top-notch" enrollment of schools has an absolute advantage in Hebei. Many parents are eager for their students, and other middle schools in Hebei can only lag behind.
A large part of the controversy in Hengshui comes from the "militarized management" she adopted when she advocated the "humanized management" of schools on a large scale throughout the country. Before dawn, the young students in the dormitory are waiting for a new day in their sleep. At 5: 30, the wake-up bell rings, all the students bounce, hurry up and tidy up, and start running according to the schedule at 5: 45.
Students should fold the quilt, get dressed and wash in these fifteen minutes. According to military standards, the quilt is tofu-shaped, and the bed can't be wrinkled ... but in fact, many students have arrived at the designated location at 5: 38, and no one asked them to pick up their textbooks and read them aloud. During running practice, the queue is neat, the distance between front and back is kept at 10 cm, the arms are attached to the arms, and the books are sandwiched between the arms. Every class rang out loud slogans.
"High morale" and "self-improvement". Such a spectacular scene will even attract people who spend hundreds of dollars on tickets to visit. At 6 o'clock, the students officially began to read early. Under careful management, everyone stood and read aloud. At half past six, all grades can eat at the wrong peak. At 6: 50, the teacher counted the number of people. If you don't have time to finish eating, you can only dump it. In class, students must concentrate, and jokes and fights are not allowed in class.
Interspersed with running exercises and lunch breaks, it is also very demanding. Lights out in the classroom at 2 1: 50 and in the dormitory at 22:00 10. Students should rush back to the dormitory to wash and sleep within 20 minutes. After nearly 17 hours of intensive learning management, the students finally got a rest, but it was only one day, three years in high school, and this kind of life had to be continuously circulated.
The management of Hengshui is to unify and militarize students. In school, everything is included except the topic of study, and certain content is arranged every time, which is tightly controlled. Learning is unforgettable by students and becomes a conditioned reflex.
Ordinary schools are full of youth. Here, except for the immature faces of the students, everything else is difficult to reflect. Students are chatting and joking during the break, and Hengshui is completely absent. It is this harsh management and the arrangement that all time periods serve learning that makes the public feel terrible.
Hengshui can only have a few graduates from Tsinghua Peking University from the very beginning, increasing to more than a dozen, 1998, and won the title of the top science scholar in Hebei Province for the first time. In 2000, the college entrance examination rate of Hengshui Middle School reached 96.9%, the undergraduate entrance examination rate reached 79.6%, and the rate of attaching importance to the original curriculum reached 56.2%. Tsinghua Peking University enrolled * * * 12 students, all of whom surpassed other middle schools in Hebei and became the leader of the college entrance examination.
"If you can't change the environment, then adapt to it." This is the widely spread view of Hengshui. Hengshui is located in a remote area with underdeveloped economy. Students have no choice but to study hard to get ahead. The outside world marveled at its poor performance and management, and questioned fairness and freedom. But in any case, the details of Hengshui have been exposed more and more, which has become a complicated example of education in China, and it is worth thinking about by people all over the country.
