Maybe everyone thinks it's easier to have fewer students and fewer teachers. You don't have to change your homework so much. Class management is much simpler. Anyone who has been a teacher will understand that there are too few students, there is no atmosphere in class, asking a question is silent, and you can't even play a game. Teachers' sense of gain and accomplishment is greatly reduced, and classes are really boring.
Of course, this situation is not only in our school, but also in other small villages in our central school. Two village-level primary schools naturally died because there were no students. According to the current situation, the other seven villages are also in jeopardy, and it is only a matter of time before they die. Optimistic estimates are only five or six years.
Village or that village, where have all the students gone? With the deepening of urbanization, many farmers have become? Citizen? The family moved to the county seat, even to the provincial capital and developed coastal cities, and the rural population gradually decreased, so the number of students in the school naturally decreased.
Nowadays, it has become an ethos in the village to send children to school in the county. Many parents try their best to find acquaintances to send their children to school in the county even if they don't buy a house in the county. Most of the students transferred from our school every year are transferred to county schools, so now the county schools are overcrowded and the students in rural schools are dying. This situation is not unique to us, but a common phenomenon.
In our school, left-behind children are either in difficult family conditions or their grades are really unsatisfactory, and county schools refuse to accept them. For example, there are six children in my class, one has mental problems, one has hearing problems, and two have returned from the central school because of poor grades. Only two students can reach the normal level. In the final exam every year, the average score is only thirty or forty points. It's not that the teacher doesn't work hard enough, it's really a clever woman who can't cook without rice.
Teachers, like students and parents, attach importance to grades, because every semester our central school will organize a unified final exam for the whole town and rank it. The students can't see the final exam results, but the teacher is very concerned. The average score is far from other classes, which is not only shameful, but also affects work performance and performance pay. Therefore, the teachers in our school are still very attentive in teaching, wishing that they could become monkeys, get into students' minds and stuff all their knowledge into them.
In reality, these teachers are often hurt, and they may not be able to make achievements if they work hard. Although the high scores are not bad, how many of them can't stand it? Single digits? Coupled with the small number of classes, the average score is naturally far from other classes. The average score is too low, the learning atmosphere is not strong, parents are not at ease, and everything that can be transferred out is transferred out. Village primary schools fall into such a vicious circle until they die.
In recent years, departments at all levels have actually invested a lot in village-level primary schools. With the standardization of school buildings and the upgrading of teaching hardware, the campus has become beautiful, but the students have disappeared. One by one has become a teaching point, and finally naturally disappeared. It's really sad to look at those newly-built school buildings. I have to say that this is the embarrassment of rural education. The key to rural education lies in students. What's the use without students, beautiful school buildings, perfect teaching facilities and dedicated teachers?
