Data map A few days ago, an article about "Shanghai Yousheng had a small interview, but parents were stunned by the test" was screened in the circle of friends. A private primary school in Shanghai gathered parents in several large classrooms while interviewing children, so that parents could use their mobile phones to do questions. Many parents can't do it, and they are worried that they will be delayed by the baby. They are very depressed. The truth of this news has yet to be verified, but many parents in Guangzhou are "worried" and have forwarded it. Various private primary schools in Guangzhou will also start interviews in the near future. "Will private schools in Guangzhou also test parents?" Many parents asked anxiously, and also teased whether to make up lessons urgently.
To squeeze into private schools, parents spend 10000 yuan on "surprise classes" for their children
On May 6 and 7, the most popular private primary school in Guangzhou conducted enrollment interviews in batches. According to the school notice, after the interview, we started yesterday afternoon to notify the admitted freshmen through the office phone, and the freshmen started to pay fees this morning. The school recruited about 200 students through interviews, and this year it is said that more than 1000 children participated in interviews.
"The elimination rate is so high that we can go to the interview without any preparation, basically without thinking about it," said Ms. Chen. Before the children went to the big class, Ms. Chen kept them in free range. "My daughter can read no more than ten words. I asked her how much 4+4 is, and she would count her fingers." However, after the children were promoted to the big class, Ms. Chen found that parents had already bought a degree room and were ready to send their children to a famous public school, or had early started the connection between childhood and childhood, and vowed to send their children to popular private schools. Ms. Chen's real estate is located in an ordinary primary school. She suddenly felt that she was too irresponsible for her children and decided to find a way to send her children to a private primary school near her home.
She learned that there was a very popular kindergarten and primary school connection organization near the school, and the proportion of children who had been trained in the school was very high. Parents pushed their children into the school, but Ms. Chen "realized" too late, and there was no place for the training class. Later, she heard that there was another "surprise class". She took four classes and charged 10000 yuan for the children's surprise training by collecting the real interview questions of the school over the years. If you feel that your child is still lacking after the surprise training, you can continue to add classes for free until you think the child interview is "interesting". This "shock squad" is also very popular. Ms. Chen found a circle of people and finally pushed the children into it. On the morning of May 6, Ms. Chen's family accompanied the child to an interview. The child spent a total of 20 minutes from entering to leaving. When the child came out with a smile and said, "Everything will be done", the family was relieved.
School also "test father"? Examining parents' educational ideas in chatting
In fact, in Guangzhou, there are also private schools that interview parents in the process of interviewing children.
Wu Bo, President of the Foreign Language School affiliated to South China Normal University (score line, specialty setting), said that the school, whether in primary or secondary schools, should communicate with parents when students are interviewed or taking exams. "We have an interview with parents, definitely not for the purpose of testing parents. The interview is mainly about chatting." Wu Bo introduced that in the process of chatting, the recruitment teacher needs to understand three aspects: parents' educational philosophy, parents' expectations and goals for children's education, parent child communication between parents and children, and parent-child relationship. "We need to find parents who can reach a consensus with the school on education concepts, so as to be more conducive to cultivating students and sending them to a more ideal school," said Wu Bo.
In March this year, a private school in Panyu District, Guangzhou, announced in the notice of enrolling primary school freshmen that parents should have bachelor's degree or above, which caused a public outcry. Some netizens believe that the school is private and has the autonomy to run a school. It is justifiable to require students' parents to have a bachelor's degree. However, some parents believe that the requirement of "enrolling only the children of undergraduate parents" seems to be the freedom of enrollment of private primary schools, but it is actually the naked discrimination against people with low academic qualifications. "This behavior of schools has violated the essence of education, and will the students be good"?
After the event, Panyu District Education Bureau said that although private schools have the autonomy to run schools, the school violated educational fairness in this enrollment publicity. In line with the principle of "teaching without discrimination", fairness and justice to all students and parents, and the requirements of private schools to run schools in accordance with the law, the bureau made a serious criticism of the school, asked it to immediately stop the propaganda behavior, and proposed rectification measures. In the future enrollment work, we should do a good job in the enrollment brochure filing work in accordance with the law, The enrollment behavior shall be standardized in strict accordance with the relevant regulations and work arrangements of the superior education department. After that, the school removed the relevant publicity announcements.
High proportion of elimination
Last year, there were popular private schools with 7 students and 1 student
In recent years, the popularity of private primary schools in Guangzhou has continued to increase. In 2016, for the first time in Guangzhou, public and private schools at the stage of compulsory education uniformly applied online, including 297 private primary schools. Among the 100 private primary schools with more applicants than planned, Guangzhou Experimental Primary School of Huanggang Middle School has the largest number of applicants, 1934, and the number of applicants of the foreign language school attached to Guangzhou University of Foreign Languages has reached 1804.
Among them, the most competitive private primary school is Liwan District Overseas Chinese Foreign Language Experimental School, with an enrollment ratio of 1:6.97, followed by Taijing Chinese and English Primary School, with an enrollment ratio of 1:6.64, and Baiyun District Sanyuanli Experimental Primary School with an enrollment ratio of 1:6.07.
Different from the simple interview in public primary schools, the interview in private primary schools is selective, and the popular private primary schools often have a 50% elimination rate, which makes parents dare not take it lightly. For children aged six or seven, it is not easy to stand out if they do not have some interview training. The popularity of private primary schools has given birth to the popularity of "kindergarten kindergarten connection". For many parents, kindergarten kindergarten connection is not enough, and they have "increased" their children's enrollment. Last year, the number of students enrolled in the preschool transition class of an education and training institution in Guangzhou was 634, but this year it has surged to 1500.
