When filling in the volunteers before the junior secondary examination, my son told me that several of his good friends wanted to fill in the first volunteer Linchuan Middle School, Ganzhou Middle School and other foreign schools, and he also wanted to.
"Why do you also want to apply for out-of-town middle schools?" I was mixed feelings, and I was torn in my own mind. The overall level of teachers in foreign schools is certainly higher, the concept of school management is also more advanced, school education and teaching resources are richer, education and teaching methods and means are more diverse. More importantly, the level of students must be higher, there must be a lot of bulls in all aspects of the child's growth will have a great help and influence. However, after all, just a little boy, self-control and self-care ability are still very insufficient, coupled with the distance from parents, any problems, especially the heart can not be timely relief, will certainly in turn affect the learning. Weighing the two, it is really difficult. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it, and I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
? "Everyone says that teachers in outside schools have a higher level of teaching, so I think it must be more helpful for learning." My son said.
? "Let's do it this way. Anyway, the time to fill in the volunteer has three days, mom first inquired about the fill in the outside high school will not affect the admission of the county's key high school, if not, we will fill in a little is not impossible." I thought it was prudent to be cautious with so much at stake. My son thinks it makes sense, because I heard that he also just want to try, and I'm not sure if I can get in, in case I don't get into the county high school and not admitted that would be a disaster.
? By checking with the Secondary School Admissions Office, I am sure that filling in the field school does not affect the admission of the local high school, I promised my son can try to fill in his preferred school - Ganzhou Middle School. I also thought that having a higher goal to lead may be more motivating for his final sprint in the midterm.
Fortunately, with the hard work of the teachers and the hard work of my son, my son was able to get into the elite class of the local high school, and at the same time, with a better score on the midterm exam, he was able to get into Ganzhou Middle School, which was the school that he had originally enrolled in. The question before us is the choice of school, where to go from here?
I first had a serious discussion with Piggy's dad, and we agreed that it would be more appropriate for our son to attend a school close to his home county, but his son has always preferred to attend Ganzhou Middle School, especially since his best friend, Liu Yuxi, has already made a decision to attend Ganzhou Middle School. How to convince his son?
Just as we were getting worried, Chongyi Middle School conducted a 10-day brainwashing program for their elite students - letting them enroll in the school beforehand after the midterm exams, to learn about the school culture, to penetrate the concept of proximity to the school, and to shake their resolve to study outside of the city. From my perspective, I agree. Although the school's approach is largely due to the pressure of losing the best students out of the country, but for students who do not recognize the problem y and comprehensively, at least it is helpful for them to consider the problem more comprehensively.
? With the school work laid out, we were slightly relieved. Though my son didn't seem to be relenting, if we broke down the pros and cons to him, he would make a more appropriate choice. So, a serious family meeting was held.
The meeting was chaired by me, and the three of us sat around the coffee table in the living room, all looking very serious.
? "Today we're going to focus on where to go to high school. First of all, let's state that maybe we each have a different point of view, but we must listen to each other to finish our words first, think rationally, and ultimately the decision is still in the hands of you, son, because it's your high school life, and what's in your heart is most important." The reason why I have the courage to say that I will leave the decision to my son is that after careful preparation and rigorous analysis by both of us, we feel that our son will approve of our point of view - to go to the nearest school. Of course, if our son is adamant that he wants to attend Ganzhou Middle School, we will really show our respect and then we will contact one of my girlfriends at the school to be a temporary guardian and do the best job possible, which is the next best thing.
My son expressed satisfaction at my opening statement.
"Son, go ahead and tell us what you think and why." The head honcho had his chest out and took a high stance to let his son speak first.
"I still want to go to Ganzhou Middle School like Liu Yuxi. That school our family has been there more than once, you have also seen the campus environment is very great, teaching facilities are also very complete, the teacher's teaching level is also witnessed ****, the quality of teaching these two years the college entrance examination results are very good, and dry mom works there, you can also rest assured. Besides, it is the city's center of excellence, the high level of students will also be very helpful to me. These three years of my junior high school, Liu Yuxi gave me a lot of help, this you guys also know."
"That's right. Classmates classmates, is to learn together, classmates high level, can certainly drive themselves up. Your analysis just now makes sense." I nodded appreciatively, and the conversation turned, "However, we can't just look at these objective conditions. You have to know that it's not only the objective conditions that affect a person's learning-otherwise, why would there be such a big difference in the academic performance of students in the same class. The most important thing in learning is still the individual's subjective factors, which is why many countryside middle schools with difficult conditions can also produce one or two top-notch talents."
"I think the old mom shell child is right. From the objective conditions, attending Ganzhou middle school is to be better. But we also have to consider another problem, Ganzhou Middle School is not all teachers are better than Chongyi Middle School's teachers; similarly, there will be many students in Ganzhou Middle School who are not as good as Chongyi Middle School. Our current midterm scores do not allow us to be placed in the top class at Ganzhou Middle School, which means that we will not be able to enjoy the best teacher resources and study with the best students there. We can only be placed in the second tier of classes, and the second tier is definitely weaker, perhaps not as good as the teachers in your elite class at Chongyi Middle School, and the same goes for your classmates. Since that's the case, there's no superiority in studying outside, and there's no need for it." The chief said slowly and methodically.
The son listened attentively, after a while, he said: "Ganzhou Middle School's ambitious class is rolling, maybe I can enter this class soon after my own efforts, will not be able to enjoy the best resources? Moreover, their school has many exchange student places with the UK every year." My son still can't get enough of it and is trying to convince us.
? "So, next we'll just have to discuss your personal suitability for studying abroad." I handed my son a bowl of chilled mango sago soup, his favorite summer dessert, which is easy to make, looks beautiful, and tastes sweet and refreshing. Eating and talking at the same time soothes the seriousness.
? "Truth be told, son, your self-control is not strong enough to need someone around to remind you all the time. Besides, everyone has inertia and likes to take it easy, so in case there is no one to supervise you, it's a bit hard for you to learn by your own volition." Inuyasha said seriously, and his son's face turned slightly red. I hurriedly said, "Dad and I don't mean to criticize you, we're just being realistic about the facts, so don't feel pressured. In fact, we adults are also like this, if everyone is super conscious, then still want the leadership for what, not in advance into the ****productivist ideal society?" The son smiled at this and expressed his acceptance.
? "If there is no good self-management ability, there is no strong desire for self-learning, mom and dad really do not feel comfortable with you studying alone in Ganzhou. You know, mom and dad both have jobs, is unable to go down to Ganzhou to accompany the study. If you study in Chongyi, the teachers in the elite class are the best in the whole school, which is no less than the level of the teachers in the second level class of Ganzhou Middle School; since the county is so small, everyone is familiar with each other, so your mom and dad can communicate with the school and the teachers in a better way; we can take better care of you in your daily life when we are beside you, and if you have any problems in your heart, you can tell your mom and dad in time, and if you have a better mood, you can study more easily. So, mom and dad hope you can stay in Chongyi for high school, which is more suitable for you."
? The son held the glass bowl, did not say anything, sago dew half eaten. He thought for a while, put the bowl down, resting his hand on his cheek, his eyes staring at the bowl of sago dew, he still needed time to think. The chief and I looked at each other, tacit understanding, get up, gently leave the living room, let my son think about it, this brainstorming is difficult enough to choose.
The next day, my son said, "Mom, you find the results of the entrance examination of Ganzhou Middle School and Chongyi Middle School in the past two years for me to see, okay?"
"The information may be found. However, there should be no comparability." I said.
? "Go ahead and find it, I have my own use for it." My son was about to go downstairs, there said, "Better, it would be better if we can also find the high school entrance examination results of our Chongyi in the past few years who studied abroad."
"It's not easy to find the individual's high school entrance examination results, but I can inquire about what universities most of the people examined."
"That's fine too."
After a few days, I gathered most of the information he asked for, but didn't organize it into text, just gave him a general idea. I don't know how he utilized this information, anyway, he said to us one day very calmly: "Dad and Mom, Ganzhou Middle School's acceptance letter will be kept as a souvenir, I decided to stay in Chongyi Middle School to read." After saying that, I could see that there was some faint regret on his face.
? Dear son, I can't say whether our decision was right or wrong, because life can't come again. All I can say is that for you today, this decision is the best for you.
