Going to an interest class without taking an exam is tantamount to going to school for nothing?

Issued the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Education and Teaching and Improving the Quality of Compulsory Education in an All-round Way, stating that "it is strictly forbidden to use the scores or certificates of various examinations, competitions and training as the basis for enrollment, and students shall not be selected in the name of interview and evaluation". However, according to a survey conducted by reporters in the past two months, in some places, interest classes and grading institutions are under the banner of "national certification" and "extra points for further studies", encouraging and implying parents to seize the "advantage of further studies" early. In this way, children's hobbies are kidnapped and locked by the "training" of the exam, and the exam has become an unavoidable "pit" in children's interest learning. In the elaborate "one-stop" and "format design" of "training, grading and further education", parents and children are struggling to cope with the "extra points for further education" that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

You can't learn new courses without exams, and interest classes make money by training.

"Mom, what's the use of the exam? I am so tired! " Faced with two hours of taekwondo pre-test training, the son of Changchun citizen Ma Yan kept complaining. Ma Yan said that in order to strengthen his son's physique, he enrolled his child in Taekwondo classes. But after studying for less than half a month, the coach mobilized the children to sign up for the exam.

Not only taekwondo, calligraphy, art, dance, go? Almost all interest classes are organized for grading. Examination fees are charged by the examination institutions, and interest classes are profitable by offering examination training classes.

Teacher Chang, an enrollment staff member of an art training school in Changchun, told the reporter that the exam training class is different from the daily course. According to the art grading rules, students will concentrate on 2-3 hours of courses to train them to complete examination works, which is 2-3 times that of daily classes and double the class fee.

In order to let students take more grade exams, some training institutions even use grade exams as a standard to evaluate whether students can learn new courses. Wang Mengyang, a citizen of Changchun, said that her daughter had been learning dance for less than three months, and the training school asked her to report to the dance level. She disagreed, and the school teacher said, "There is no way to prove that children can learn without taking the exam, but only practice the previous movements."

It can take exams, skip advanced grades and bet questions, which also surprises parents. Teacher Wei, who is in charge of grading in an art training class, is outspoken. He will take four out of 12' s works when making a proposition, but the teacher of this school 100% can hit the nail on the head. As long as you practice four paintings, you can "draw a gourd ladle" on the spot. In addition, the training class also encourages children to take the advanced placement exam, and they only need to pay the 200 yuan for each level.

The coach judges the same person, which makes people question the fairness and authority of the exam. Zhang Yiyuan (pseudonym), who has been running an art training school for many years, revealed that on the surface, training schools and grading examination institutions charge their own fees and are independent. However, many grading examination institutions will "list cooperation" with training schools, designate "training schools", and even invite school teachers to serve as grading judges, or use schools as examination rooms.

Don't let the anxiety of entering a higher school become the "booster" of the exam.

"The key to further studies", "Learning chess can enliven children's minds, and many middle schools have specialized chess enrollment", "Taekwondo can get an international black belt and get 20 points in school" and "You can choose any good middle school, which is recognized by College Entrance Examination 46"? The gold-lettered signboards of major training institutions hit the pain point of children's further education.

Although such bonus points have been cancelled in junior high schools and senior high school entrance examinations in various places, and many middle schools and education authorities interviewed by reporters in half a month denied that certificates were linked to further studies, such "true and false" propaganda still made many parents flock to it.

"No parents are unwilling to invest in their children, and training institutions have actually grasped this mentality." The person in charge of an education consulting institution in Beijing bluntly said that only by combining training, grading examination and continuing education and giving parents clear expectations will parents be willing to pay the bill. "Otherwise, I have studied for so many years, and I can't see any results. Parents don't admit it. "

"While the country is standardizing the examination research, the most fundamental thing is to control the school choice fever. Because there is a school selection fever, there will be school selection tools, and the scoring behavior is a school selection tool. " Xiong Bingqi, an education expert, said that the education department should standardize local competitions and examinations, focusing on cracking down on the industrial chain formed by training, examinations, competitions and school selection.

Tian Dan, vice president of Jiefang Road Primary School in Changchun City, Jilin Province, believes that a major reason for the chaos in interest classes is the lack of management. At present, the false propaganda behavior of interest classes has not been well managed.
