女兒的高三 都在拚學測…

聯合報╱謝東森/國小教師(新北市)】2013.03.29 03:58 am
由於陪女兒走過學測、繁星、個人申請過程,加上國二兒子又遇到基北區放話要進行PISA特色招生,真是前院失火,後院放火,讓家長忙得不可開交

My comments: I once asked my mother how she brought her five kids up.   Her answer was that she was so busy with the housework then that she just left us alone.  Nowadays, because many people have only one or two children, they put all their focus on taking care of the kid(s). 

隨著大學個人申請備審資料送件告一段落,個人心得只有一句話:台灣的高中教育,已被大學繁星、個人申請入學搞垮了。為什麼呢?


學測只考高一、二範圍,女兒在高三上學期根本無心課程,只忙著複習學測範圍。寒假考完學測,高三下學期一開始,女兒只想等著學測成績揭曉,看能不能靠繁星申請進入大學。


My comments: A friend of mine told me her daughter still worked hard on the new courses during the first semester of her third year.  She didn't fail the SAT; instead, she passed the test with flying colors.


女兒繁星沒過,家人又開始規畫,如何根據學測成績,依據篩選倍率,選擇夢幻、實際的校系。等通過第一階段篩選,接下來都在請假狀態製作備審資料。現在送件告一段落了,又要開始準備四月上旬的面試甄選,及等待四月下旬放榜


如此的流程設計,根本就等於要高中生放棄高三學業,全力準備學測。如果繁星、個人申請都沒有成功,才會認命利用最後二個月時間拚指考了!


請問如此的流程設計,是不是白白浪費高中生一年時光嗎?學測流程真的需要提前到高二暑假開始起跑,也就是暑假期間,高三學生考指考、高二學生考學測。七月底八月初一同放榜,繁星、個人申請一、二階段則在八、九月陸續完成。


My comments: It's true that quite a few high school students learn little new things in the third year.  I would rather there were only one entrance exam in July for high school graduates and that the students had two options--applying for admission to college according to their high scchool performance plus the grades of the entrance exam and an interview, or being directly designated to a proper university based only on the result of the exam.


雖然暑假期間,高三學生考指考、高二學生考學測人力支援、工作量可能要加倍,但這會比高中生喪失一年的學習損失大嗎?
