Qin Feng, a teacher from the School of Surveying and Mapping Science and Technology, Xi'an University of Science and Technology, reported recently that in January this year, after the final results of the courses he took were released, a parent of a student who did not pass the exam asked the student to revise his grades and threatened the teacher verbally with the excuse of "affecting the future of the child" and "causing stains", according to cnr. cn. The relevant personnel of the college also mentioned that the parent had "background" for many times and asked the teacher to modify the score. (Detailed report: The score is modified according to "noisy"? A college teacher in Shaanxi said he was repeatedly asked to revise his students' scores ）
Final exam scores can also be modified? If it is said that the marking teacher made a mistake in marking, it should be corrected. However, if the college presses teachers to modify their grades on the grounds of "affecting the future", it will break through not only the principles and bottom line, but also the public awareness. The reason is simple enough. If the scores can be modified according to "noise" or "need", what will be done in the exam?
Dialogue between students' parents and teachers. Photograph provided by respondents What's more, it is suspected of violating laws and regulations by modifying exam results and practicing fraud. Article 18 of the Regulations on the Administration of Students in Ordinary Institutions of Higher Learning issued by the Ministry of Education stipulates that "schools should improve the management system of students' academic achievements and student status files, truthfully and completely record and issue students' academic achievements, and mark the achievements obtained through make-up examinations and retakes." Truly recording students' achievements is a teacher's right and is more responsible for students.
In recent years, there is a worrying phenomenon: some parents seem to be more and more involved in school education, and even interfere with teachers' teaching. It is understandable that parents care about their children's learning and future, but education should have a clear boundary, that is, let professional people do professional things.
The college set up a supervision group to review all the test papers. Photograph provided by respondents How to teach a lesson, how to arrange homework, and how to set test questions are teachers' own work and their expertise, which should ensure that college teachers have full autonomy. According to the official website of Xi'an University of Science and Technology, Qin Feng is an associate professor and master's supervisor. The course he teaches is his main research field. In other words, even in colleges and universities, Qin Feng should have more power to explain and speak about this course.
It is worth mentioning that, after being questioned by parents, in order to ensure the fairness of the exam, the college concerned set up a supervision group to review the exam papers. According to Qin Feng, "the result of the review is that my questions meet the requirements of the outline, with moderate difficulty and no problem in marking the paper."
One student of the class also told the reporter that only one of the six students in his dormitory failed. If so, who can blame the failing students? If children are not good at learning and fail to pass the exam, shouldn't normal parents urge their children to study hard? How dare the school change its grades?
Letter on investigating and verifying teachers' teaching accidents. Provided by respondents The reason why this event has aroused heated debate is that it happened among college students, parents and colleges. College students are all adults. Professional teaching in colleges and universities is also very different from basic education in primary and secondary schools. Parents should let go when they should. This is not to question the parents' inability to "interfere" in college education, but to respect the autonomy of colleges and universities, and let their children learn to take responsibility for themselves, which may be more important than their achievements.
There are some details in the report that cannot be ignored. Qin Feng reflected that he had received calls and WeChat messages from the academic administrators and leaders of the college, asking to revise his grades for the student; In order to modify the score of another make-up student, the college transfers the permission to enter the score of the course from the system, and other teachers modify the score. It is necessary to investigate whether these statements are true and whether there is any abuse of power and collusion of interests by relevant personnel.
At present, the relevant staff of the school's propaganda department said that the school has set up an investigation team. The examination results are serious, and the investigation team is expected to find out the facts and clarify responsibilities as soon as possible. This is not only about the seriousness and fairness of examinations, but also about the rights and interests of teachers and the dignity of higher education.
