Really good schools are approaching the essence of education - child-centered learning.

A truly good school is not about the building, laboratory or air-film pavilion, but about the principal and teachers.

Really good schools, they adapt to the children's nature and achieve very good results.

A truly good school is not a military camp or a prison; both teachers and children love their school.

On the road of education, there is never a perfect school; the school that is suitable for children is the best school.

How much do families pay for their children to go to a good school: millions or even tens of millions of dilapidated degree housing, decades of personal connections, gifts given out over dinner parties, children attending cram schools and interest classes, and desperately striving for grades.

Rankings, participation in various subject competitions to obtain rankings, literary and sports specialty examinations... In the end, the whole family struggled for three to five years, vomiting blood, and restlessly, in exchange for the most ideal result, which is to be able to attend a good school!

But, what kind of school is a good school?

These four criteria are usually used to measure whether a school is a good one. Usually, the criteria for a good school in the minds of parents are mostly the following: First, it must be well-known.

Fame is something that has been accumulated over a long period of time. In the minds of parents, it has the effect of "just hearing the name makes you feel awesome."

In Beijing, there are primary schools such as Jingshan, Zhongguancun No. 3 Primary School, Experimental No. 2 Primary School, Shijia Primary School, etc.; middle schools such as the "Haidian Six Little Strong", "Xicheng Four King Kong" and so on.

Every place, whether it is a first- or second-tier city or a small county town, has such famous schools.

Second, the ranking is high.

There are many methods for ranking schools, both official and private.

For example, schools are divided into first-class, first-class second category, second-rate first category, second-rate second category; there are provincial key, municipal key, district key; high-quality high schools, model schools... Then, those schools that are not ranked are not first-rate schools.

, non-key ordinary schools, non-high-quality weak schools... To be honest, seeing this ranking and classification method, no parent would want their children to go to a sub-class, ordinary, or weak school.

Third, good grades.

This is the most hard-core, and good results are mainly reflected in two data, one is the number of top picks, and the other is the average score.

All schools know that this is the most convincing data.

However, when it comes to academic performance, there is only one school.

Therefore, many schools will try their best to create many "categories" on their own so that they can win many firsts.

For example, the performance of a single subject, the excellence rate, the number of people admitted to prestigious schools, etc.

Of course, international schools are also very similar. They will show the number of applicants to prestigious foreign schools as a result to parents.

Similarly, many different categories will be divided so that the school can achieve several firsts.

Fourth, the source of students is good.

This is also simple. It mainly depends on the admission score into this school.

In the past, many prestigious schools felt that unified examinations were not enough to select the best students, so they chose the Mathematical Olympiad, which is said to be the best measure of IQ, as their admission criteria.

Their theory is that "children with high IQs are actually good at learning anything."

Now, because Mathematical Olympiad is only used as a screening tool, it wastes a lot of social resources and has side effects on many children. After being severely suppressed, many schools will adopt various spontaneous "training" and "interviews" with children and parents.

to select high-quality students.

Of course, there are also some schools that use nationality and tuition fees to set admissions thresholds, which can also screen students.

Two other criteria for measuring a good school: 1. Where do good grades come from.

When children go to school, parents are most concerned about their children's grades.

A school with good results is not necessarily a good school; but a truly good school must have good results.

What's going on?

Let me tell you a personal experience.

A middle school principal said frankly: "We have many ways to improve students' performance, but we must also consider the law of growth. For example, in the first grade of junior high school, we pay more attention to the development of children's study habits.

Instead of just focusing on improving grades right from the beginning, after developing good study habits, we are very confident that we can improve each child's grades in the second and third grades.

If you are too anxious because your child's grades are temporarily poor, don't worry about the high school entrance exam every day just after entering the first grade of junior high school.
