How to divide freshmen into classes in Wuwei No.4 Middle School?

The summer vacation is over and the new school year is coming as scheduled. At this time, the placement of new students is a big problem for parents to "care about chaos." Many parents will do their homework in advance, "say hello" everywhere, rack their brains and take great pains.

Why do you spell it like this? In fact, it is easy to understand that in ancient times, there was a "three moves to Meng Mu" just to provide a good environment for children. Nowadays, parents spare no effort to let their children go to prestigious schools and try their best to "choose" classes, which are all the same.

Of course, apart from being eager to "protect calves", placement is also a silhouette of parents' educational anxiety. In the eyes of many people, the placement of freshmen is very mysterious, and they always feel that there are dry Kun, which is unspeakable. For example, some schools have no fast and slow classes in name, but there are differences between different classes, and high-quality resources always tend to be "good classes". It can be said that parents are full of "inner play" on the issue of class placement, which reflects their potential worries about educational fairness; The placement of freshmen seems trivial, but for parents, it is a big problem that affects their children's future and is related to educational fairness.

So, how should freshmen be divided into classes?

"A bowl of water is flat" should be the minimum requirement. As early as more than two thousand years ago, Confucius put forward the concept of "teaching without class", which means that the objects of education should be treated equally, regardless of category. But in reality, some schools simply divide students into three or six grades, and also teach students in accordance with their aptitude and encourage competition. It should be said that high-quality resources are always scarce, but the word "fair" at least means equal opportunities. In this regard, many schools have accumulated a lot of experience. For example, the combination of "snake placement" and "teacher drawing lots" is very popular. In addition, when allocating teachers, the school tries to consider the differences in teachers' qualifications and professional level, and strives to match and balance ... Therefore, "a bowl of water is flat" is not difficult. The hard part is that some people pretend not to understand "No Child Left Behind", and they try their best to "have the cheek".

In addition, transparency should be "standard". Some parents "have illusions" about the behind-the-scenes stories of new students' placement, which is directly related to ignorance and unclear. Therefore, the school may wish to make the ideas, practices and procedures of class placement as open as possible, do a good job of communication and explanation, and eliminate parents' uncertainty about relevant information; At the same time, schools can also encourage parents and community members to participate in it, thus improving the transparency and credibility of class placement. For example, a few days ago, the head teacher of the new junior high school attached to the provincial high school "drew lots to set classes" in front of six parents' representatives-because they witnessed it with their own eyes, the parents' representatives expressed "great satisfaction" with the drawing process.

Of course, science and reason are indispensable. At present, students and parents have various requirements for placement. Some hope that the teacher is strict enough, and some hope that the head teacher will teach Chinese ... In all fairness, these requirements of parents are understandable, and education should face diverse individuals. For their various needs, the higher level is to meet their reasonable demands as much as possible.

Computer random distribution, lottery, etc. Although nobody says anything, it may not satisfy everyone. In this regard, schools can try to collect more information through questionnaires and other means, combine the lottery with personal wishes, and allow "adjustment" instead of "one-time sale". A few days ago, Xingang Primary School in Huangpu District was divided into classes according to students' hobbies, and then the teacher drew lots. There may be more such attempts and bigger steps.
