afternoon.
In Qin Yi's office.
"Mayor Qin, the current situation is like this. More than a hundred parents went to the Education Bureau to report and hold up banners. They also established a reporting group with hundreds of people." Lin Kai told the whole story of the incident.
"Are there only these hundreds of parents?" Qin Yi asked Lin Kai.
"Currently, it seems that only these hundreds of parents do not agree with charging for tutoring. Some of these people think that if it is free, they can accept it. But if it is charged, they would rather not give tutoring to their children."
Qin Yi nodded slightly after hearing this: "Director Lin, I want to hear your views and opinions on the matter of paid make-up classes. I want to hear the truth!"
When Lin Kai saw Qin Yi saying this, he hesitated slightly and said bravely: "Free make-up classes are definitely not feasible. Even if you make up one month of make-up classes during the summer vacation and half a month during the winter break, the make-up classes will not only take up the time During these teachers’ holidays, they have to teach students for free, which the teachers are definitely not willing to do.”
"People are as good as steel, and teachers also have to be careful."
After hearing this, Qin Yi agreed that teachers are not saints, they are also ordinary people, but their profession is to teach and educate people, and they also need money in their lives!
Charged make-up lessons are equivalent to teachers getting overtime pay, and students also gain learning from make-up lessons, which is equivalent to a fair transaction!
"If you want to make up lessons for free, unless our finance side pays the teachers, it's not like you don't know the economy of our Haitong City. Many of the companies we just brought in have not yet started production, so the finance side can't provide it." So much money is subsidized to the teachers." Qin Yi said in a deep voice.
After all, there are many high schools in Haitong City, including the counties below, and so many teachers are not a small expense.
"What Mayor Qin said is true, so if you want to make up classes, you can only make up classes for a fee. This is what our Haitong City has done in the past ten years."
"But things are getting a bit big now. If we continue to charge fees, I'm afraid things will get even bigger."
"But our Haitong City is not a developed city, and there are no key high schools in the province. Because our Haitong City is underdeveloped, the economy is average, and the salaries offered by the school are not high, resulting in the overall situation of our Haitong City. The teaching staff is not strong!”
"Under this situation, if we don't make up classes during the winter and summer vacations, I'm worried that our candidates' scores in the college entrance examination may decline in the future." Lin Kai expressed his true thoughts.
Qin Yi sighed slightly after listening to Lin Kai's words.
The issue of making up classes for junior high school students and high school students has always been a difficult problem.
It is illegal to charge for make-up lessons.
But what if you don’t make up the class?
What will those students do about the college entrance examination?
It is true that in developed cities and cities with good education, junior high school students and high school students have the same holiday on Saturdays and Sundays, and they will not make up classes. They even don’t have to study at night every day. They give you the freedom to arrange your time. .
Why can these cities achieve such a relaxed learning environment?
First, if a country's economy is good and the economy is good, it can attract many excellent teachers to take up posts. If the economy is good, the teachers in the city's schools will be good!
The teachers are good and the teaching quality is high. In this kind of first-class excellent teacher, you only need to teach you once, maybe you can understand it. If it is an ordinary teacher, he may have to teach you ten or eight times before you can understand it. Understand.
Therefore, in the presence of excellent teachers, students can learn quickly and easily. After learning, do they still need to study late at night? Do I still need to make up classes on Saturday and Sunday?
unnecessary!
This is the gap!
On the other hand, those backward cities have poor teachers. The teachers are all teachers from ordinary undergraduate schools, or even poor college level. Their teaching ability is limited, and the course content taught to students is very general, which will lead to these students themselves It takes many times more time and experience to learn and practice to understand it.
So this requires self-study at night, make-up classes, and make-up classes!
Because diligence can make up for clumsiness.
second.
Big cities and developed cities are all cities where elites gather. The students in these cities are naturally better than those in small places. The students themselves are better than those in your small place, and they also have better teachers.
As a result, the gap between the two sides widened again!
This is why big and developed cities do not need to study in the evening, do not need to make up classes on Saturdays and Sundays, and during winter and summer vacations.
What about small places?
In small cities, when you went to primary school, the schools were poor. Many of you even went to rural primary schools. I believe everyone knows how bad the teachers in those primary schools are.
The foundation of elementary school is poor, and the foundation of junior high school is also poor. When you reach high school, if you no longer spend several times the time to study hard as the children in big cities, your gap will only get wider and wider!
In the previous life, all the high schools in Sanjiang County at that time were the same as the current Haitong City. During winter and summer vacations, and on Saturdays and Sundays, all high schools provided free make-up classes.
Later, parents made a fuss and reported paid make-up classes. The commotion was so big that the Sanjiang County Education Bureau decided to stop charging make-up classes and no longer make up classes.
The students are relaxed.
It was fine in the first year, but problems gradually appeared in the second and third years.
That is to say, the number of students who pass the exam will decrease year by year.
Five years later, the number of students in Sanjiang County who have passed the first-level entrance examination will not be as high as that of a high school in the neighboring county!
In other words, the number of people who passed the exam in a key high school in the next county is more than that in your entire county!
Not to mention, all the teachers with excellent teaching quality in the high schools in Sanjiang County were poached to a county-level city next door.
Why did Sanjiang County develop like this in just five years?
First, if you don’t make up classes for five years, the students in these five years will have a poor foundation. After they don’t make up classes, their grades will naturally become less and less ideal.
Second, teachers no longer have to make up lessons, which is equivalent to losing an extra amount of overtime pay. Teachers' salaries are not high in the first place, so many young teachers see that Sanjiang County does not make up lessons, so they choose to go to other places. Apply for jobs in the county town.
This leads to a gap in the quality of new teachers.
Third, those excellent teachers saw that fewer students passed the first-level exams every year, and their bonuses also became smaller. In addition, the city next door poached people. After they ran away, the teaching staff was not good at first, and it became even worse in the future. !
In fact, in Qin Yi's view, in such a city with backward education, charging for supplementary classes is actually a win-win matter of cooperation!
The students have received make-up lessons and the opportunity to improve their grades. The teachers have also received overtime pay and will be able to keep them here.
In the end, the students were admitted to the ideal school and the parents were happy.
