Is Xuemen Middle School in Ganxian County suspected of breaking the law?

The behavior of "persuading poor students" in this middle school is suspected of breaking the law. The Compulsory Education Law clearly stipulates that no individual or collective has the right to deprive school-age children and adolescents of the right to receive nine-year compulsory education. Hongxuemen Middle School in Ganxian refused to enroll Xiao Zhang, and repeatedly persuaded children aged 15 to go home, which seriously violated Xiao Zhang's right to receive compulsory education. It is outrageous that a school whose responsibility is to teach and educate people knows the law and breaks the law.

In recent years, with the approach of the senior high school entrance examination, some junior high schools often try to persuade students with poor grades to go to vocational high schools. The reason behind it is also very simple. On the one hand, if the "poor students" are expelled from the classroom in advance, schools and teachers can put more educational resources and energy on the children who can rise, which will not only help improve the school's enrollment rate, but also ensure the completion of the KPI of "5: 5 job-to-general ratio". Driven by political achievements, school leaders are cost-effective. On the other hand, in order to ensure the source of students, some vocational high schools have introduced a policy of entrance examination-free, and they will indeed enroll students in junior high schools in the spring. From this point of view, students like Xiao Zhang really don't need to stay in the classroom. It doesn't make any sense to report to high school except to reduce the enrollment rate of the school. No wonder, no matter how Xiao Zhang and his parents protested, Xuemen Middle School in Ganxian was unmoved. The school even came up with a "win-win" rhetoric. From the utilitarian point of view, the school seems to be "winning" in the short term. What about the students? The so-called "win" of the school actually sacrificed Xiao Zhang's rights and dignity. Although the results can't keep up with the itinerary, Xiao Zhang and his family actually have a strong desire to continue studying and take the senior high school entrance examination. However, a 15-year-old child, who went to school in the new semester, didn't get a book, didn't report his name, didn't pass the exam, and was directly persuaded by the teacher to go home from the classroom. It's hard to imagine how much psychological harm these behaviors of schools and teachers will cause him. "Win-win" is just lip service, but in fact, how can it be considered by children? Kick "poor students" out of the classroom, and only junior high school students who can be admitted to high school can stay in school. This utilitarian and vulgar education is both illegal and against teachers' morality.

In an interview with reporters, the teacher of Ganxuemen Middle School in Ganxian County said that Xiao Changcan participated in the spring enrollment of vocational high schools, but some local education departments also issued relevant notices in response to this phenomenon, prohibiting vocational high schools from registering secondary vocational students for candidates who have not completed compulsory education. If Xiao Zhang doesn't continue to study and complete compulsory education, does it also bury a pit for future enrollment? Of course, some people think that if Xiao Zhang's grades are really poor, even winter vacation homework can't finish writing, then take the advice of the school and go to vocational high school is also a way out. Under the background of 50% admission to the senior high school entrance examination, it is doomed that half of the middle school students will not go to high school. It is better to go to a vocational high school, learn a trade and get a job early. However, it is up to Xiao Zhang and his family to decide whether to go to vocational high school or not. The school has no right to decide the direction of Xiao Zhang's life, let alone to drive him out of the classroom unscrupulously. If we want to put an end to the phenomenon that schools discourage junior three students, I'm afraid we have to find the reasons from a higher level besides investigating the responsibility according to law. It is worth noting that the person in charge of Ganxuemen Middle School mentioned to the media that "the superior has pressure on the school and the school has pressure on the teacher". From the policy background, in recent years, the education department has been emphasizing "adhering to the general ratio of vocational education to general education", "strictly grasping the ratio of vocational education to general education" and demanding "increasing the enrollment ratio of secondary vocational education". In this way, it will save time and effort to persuade poor students in grade three and realize KPI assessment. Why not do it? To achieve a world where only the "poor students" in grade three are injured.

In the final analysis, under the background that the society should vigorously develop vocational education, it is not impossible for schools to guide students to apply for vocational high schools, but to pay attention to methods. For example, for some students with really bad grades, the school can provide them with high-quality vocational high school information, analyze which career has more prospects, and let students choose rationally after consulting their parents according to their own specialties and hobbies. This is a "win-win". Simply driving the so-called poor students out of the classroom will only produce more social problems.

From a more macro point of view, parents and children are reluctant to go to vocational high schools, and the fundamental reason is that the quality of vocational high school education is mixed. Many vocational schools look tall, but in fact, the teachers are weak and the overall learning atmosphere of the school is also very poor. Coupled with the poor quality of students, it is a waste of time to send children. If you can't find a job after graduation, you may get into some bad habits. Therefore, to ensure the ratio of vocational education to general education, it is imperative to increase investment in vocational education and improve the quality of education. If vocational high school is really a way out, do their children need school advice as long as they are rational parents?
