「第一志願」的迷失

是「第一志願」的悲哀?
我們觀念的悲哀?這個社會的悲哀?
杰士特索瑞

最近的新聞:「一個家住中壢的建中資優生自殺的新聞….」心裡有些感受。

我記得教改有一個目標:「高中社區化」,這個目標有一重點:「要去除明星高中」。
執行得怎樣,你我都心知肚明。為什麼一個中壢的孩子必須每天從中壢搭車到台北市去上高中呢?

這種狀況不用多說,大家都清楚,為了擠進那個號稱全國最明星的高中---建國中學。這個叫做「第一志願」,有很多人想擠進去還擠不進呢!不只台北地區如此,新竹地區、台中地區、台南地區、高雄地區都有屬於他們自己的「第一志願」。一樣有千里迢迢,搭火車、搭公車、在外租房子的外地學子。

為什麼?為什麼他非選這個「第一志願」不行呢?因為這個「第一志願」提供了某種保證,保證你可以考上國立大學,甚至是醫科、法律系、電機系。為什麼一定要上這些系所呢?因為畢業以後,前途無量!!

於是乎,專屬於台灣的「第一志願」系列一直是這樣的:某個明星國小、國中,考進某個明星高中(就是建中、北一女),再考進某個明星大學(就是台清交),再考進某個明星產業(如醫生、律師、工程師)。

這樣的「第一志願」系列從古至今一直沒有絲毫的動搖。這也是很難撼動的「觀念」!捫心自問:當孩子可以讀建中,您會讓他讀武陵嗎?當孩子可以讀台中一中,您會讓他讀豐原高中嗎?會的人只是少數吧?絕大部分的人,都還是不能免俗地選擇「第一志願」吧!

以前看教改的相關研究與報導時,有個印象是「多元社會」───期待社會可以更多元一點,期待可以打破單一思考模式。所以才會有多元入學方案,期待打破一試定終生的聯考制度;才會有一綱多本的教材,期待可以打破單一思考的教材;也才會有師資多元化,期待可以打破單一師資來源。
這些期待今日看來,完全失敗。因為我們的社會依舊這麼單一,我們的觀念依舊這麼單一。

我們似乎只能不由自主地選擇這個「第一志願」,選擇這個「第一志願」系列。無法抗拒、無法拒絕、不能免俗。

「如果留在武陵,會快樂一點吧?」
是「第一志願」的悲哀?
我們觀念的悲哀?這個社會的悲哀?

單一思考模式 is the biggest problem in Taiwan. People are still trying to find the best way to do things. When we still believer there is "一試定終生的聯考制度"? What is the best? Even the Olympics gold medal does not warrent a athlete to be recognize. How do you rank other things? Why don't we let our children to try their own, and guide them to what they like to be.

Everyone has their freedom to pursue his dream, as long as it is his own dream. Who are we to put our dreams in our children? How many of us try to make sure our kids are doing better than us? Maybe I need to learn how to be happy about ourselves, then think about what to expect from our children, our next generation.

-Sorry, the size limit forced me to post three times.  Please bare with me.

That extra 0.5 point got me into 建中 chagned my life. I had no idea what 建中 was all about. I believe most high school students are as naive as I am.

We have to recognize, some students are ready to leave their home for better education, some do not. Getting in 建中 is not the only way to be successful. You still need to find your way after that. I decided to live at home and commuted because I knew I still needed my parents' guidance. I accepted the fact that I might not be able to maximize my study time to get into 大.  In  建中 I learned about being humble, learned about getting into the basic when I did my study. I learned about how pretty the music was, how beautifull all those ancient philosophy works were. We even tried to get the to find books about "228 incident" and "Communism".

I kept telling my students, not getting into 大 might be the most critical point in my life. I was able to teach them swimming and befriends when them for the whole life. I was able to open up my mind in Southern Taiwan. Why cares about where you study, and all?

建國中學 offers more than just 保證醫科、法律系、電機系. I like it because it provided a the freedom of learning. 建國中學 was where I learned about leadership, and how I learned about seeing myself. 建中 was where I learned that how much I love physics.

None of my classmates went to 電機系, one of the rare thing happened at 建中, but most of us are doing pretty well. We were able to find what we love but exploring. The reason caused the 「第一志願的迷失is the attitude of the parents, and attitude of the big society. Not the school, not the student, not the system.

教改

越改越亂

越改越糟糕

苦的是學生

快樂的是政府、廠商

我覺得這是台灣教育體系下的錯誤, 學校沒有教學生若沒考上也不會怎麼樣, 而是一再灌輸學生說, 一定要考上某學校才能算得上第一自願.  這世界上有365行  行行出狀元, 並非一定要唸明星學校才有出路.  有些讀明星學校出來的EQ 很低, 眼睛長在頭頂上,  反倒是唸別的學校的學生 較謙虛較願意替人著想.  所以我是個比較重視人格的人  成績好與壞  或者是他考什麼學校, 對我來說不是最最重要的事
