Huanhu No. 1 Middle School is a provincial model high school. In the new school year, principal Fang Kaiyuan went to Peking University for further study. The Education Bureau designated Vice Principal Mo Gufeng to act as principal. Mo Gufeng knew that in the environment of examination-oriented education, if he wanted to gain political achievements, he must increase the enrollment rate in the short term, so he implemented extreme examination-oriented education measures in No. 1 Middle School. Weekly examinations were conducted in all grades. All evaluations of teachers and students only looked at test scores and nothing else.
Reader comments
This book truly reflects the current situation of key high schools and makes me feel the same way. I like the students in the book who work hard for their dreams. I am very inspired by their efforts. But I hate principals like Mo Gufeng who only care about scores. His education method is too extreme. However, this book did make me think more deeply about high school life.
This work uses realism and romanticism to write about some practical problems in school education and solutions to some educational problems. It is very down-to-earth and worthy of careful reading and study.
The author's writing style is very, very good, and I can feel his intentions, which is also consistent with what he said before: "My deep love for education is the only way I feel the deepest responsibility. My heart can only be expressed by God, and my love for an innocent child can only be proved by words." . Maybe it's because I've been poisoned by exam-oriented education for a long time. I have an instinctive objection to canceling weekly tests and not writing extracurricular questions. I always feel that without these results, I will fall. This book is designed to change this idea.
I very much agree that Ark's teaching concept is based on classics and cultivating a sense of literature. Because today I went to listen to a class by a famous primary school teacher, and they were talking about "Spring Fun in Red Mansions". I had no impression of this article, so I treated it as a formal reading today. This is a skimming text. Logically speaking, it would only take one class to cover it, but the teacher spent two or three classes on it. After listening to his class, I had an urgent urge to savor the Dream of Red Mansions. He led me to deeply analyze this article, no longer limited to the superficial words, but to go deep into the interior of the article. He guided the students to answer the questions throughout the whole process. He was not anxious if the students couldn't answer, and just continued to guide them. Unlike the teachers in ordinary classrooms who directly reported the answers. I think such a class is meaningful and in-depth. He has fulfilled the editor's goals and expanded a lot of content beyond the text. His philosophy is "based on textbooks and beyond textbooks." I wonder if a student met such a teacher, would he not be interested in reading this book carefully? I think they have buried their interest in literature subconsciously. I hope that more teachers like this can no longer stick to the surface and cultivate students' literary literacy. If there was such a good article about "Water Margin", I wouldn't have read it until now.
It's very real and very similar to the real education system. I like it very much. The stories in the book seemed familiar to me, because living in them was actually even better than the descriptions in the book!
It is very realistic and describes the shortcomings of abnormal education in those years; there is a lot of content worthy of repeated consideration and reflection. It is a very high-quality book.
It's so well written and good, it's worth reading by all parents and teachers, especially the leaders of the education department!
I am a front-line teacher. To be honest, the author's ideas are good, but they are not very realistic and most of them are taken for granted.
A very in-depth book, worthy of repeated reading and consideration, the author's writing style is profound! Looking forward to recording the live version~
Ok ok ok
Very nice 🤩Recommended
Ark's educational thoughts represent the wishes of the general public, and we hope that our education department will pay attention to educational reform!
Very good. Although more than ten years have passed since the book was written, it is still very inspiring.
Funny, humorous, sharp and profound! But teachers who are used to crazily taking exams won't like it! [Laugh]
Very realistic and super nice!
Teach children to be filial and actions are most important.
I mourn the brief moment of my life, and hate the endless exams.
This book is beautiful and talks about each teacher's teaching methods.
True, sharp, and satirical about the shortcomings of Chinese education
