6月是高考季节,上海今年又有11．38万名考生走进各自的考场,接受知识和心理的双重考验。今年上海普通高校计划招生总数为9．11万人,高考录取率基本维持在80％。但即使绝大部分考生都能被录取,但是在家长眼里,高考依然是一道“关”。社会的关注、媒体肆意的炒作使高考被无限放大。与媒体的喧闹形成鲜明反差的,是考场的安静,考场里甚至不再有教师皮鞋敲击地板发出的踢踏声了,考场外工地打桩声、汽车喇叭声、行人喧闹声也都静了下来。然而,无论是媒体的喧闹,还是考场的安静,这一切似乎又在强化着高考的重要性,让原本心态正常的考生和家长无端加入到紧张、焦虑的队伍中。我们已经无从考证是谁第一个把高考比作独木桥,但这一比喻确是深得人心。如今,教育事业的发展已让这座独木桥越变越宽,其他形式的桥也多了起来。春季高考、“三校生”高考、六校自主招生、复旦和上海交大的自主招生……桥多了,拥堵就会变得畅通,天堑也会变通途。桥多了,考生和家长的选择也就多了,也就不再舍近求远,而是选择离自己最近、走起来最方便的一座。本期,让我们一同关注架在高考路上最新和最老的两座“桥”,从中寻找高考“桥”变的规律和方向。 June is the college entrance examination season. In Shanghai this year, another 113,800 candidates entered their respective examination rooms and accepted the double test of knowledge and psychology. This year, Shanghai’s general colleges and universities plan to enrol a total of 91,100 people, and the college entrance examination admission rate is basically maintained at 80%. However, even if the majority of candidates can be admitted, but in the eyes of parents, the college entrance examination is still a “off.” The attention of the society and the wanton media hype make the college entrance examination infinitely enlarged. Contrary to the tumultuousness of the media, it was the quietness of the examination room. There was no longer a tap of the teacher’s leather shoes knocking on the floor. The piling noises, car horns, and pedestrian noise from the examination site were all quiet. . However, whether it is the buzz of the media or the quietness of the examination room, all this seems to be reinforcing the importance of the college entrance examination, allowing candidates and parents who were originally in a normal state of mind to join the nervous and anxious team. We have no idea who is the first to compare the college entrance exam to a single-plank bridge, but this metaphor has indeed won people’s hearts. Today, the development of education has made this single-plank bridge wider and wider, and other forms of bridges have also grown. The spring college entrance examination, the “three-school students” college entrance examination, the independent enrollment of the six schools, Fudan University, and Shanghai Jiaotong University’s independent enrollment... There are many bridges, congestion will become smooth, and Scorpio will become a thoroughgoing journey. There are many bridges, candidates and parents will have more choices, and they will no longer want to go far, but choose the one that is most convenient and closest to oneself. In this issue, let’s look at the latest and oldest “bridges” on the college entrance exam road, and look for the patterns and directions of the “bridge” changes.
