On Examination Superstition

These two days have been screened by the college entrance examination. See the video of the teacher cheering for the candidates and see the pictures of parents anxiously waiting for their children. Suddenly found a very interesting phenomenon. It turns out that when reason meets reality, it is a complete failure! Superstition is everywhere, lovely! Let's look at these superstitious ideas. How many precious teachers and parents do you have?

First, the class teacher in senior three wears cheongsam, which means winning the flag. It is not unusual for female teachers to wear cheongsam. These two days, a male class teacher wore a cheongsam and asked each student to cut it from the fork with scissors. It seems that the higher the slit, the higher the scores of students in their class and the better the exam!

Second, the class teacher carefully prepared red envelopes and red masks for the students, and red symbolizes good luck. There is a black charcoal pen for candidates in the red envelope, and the words Wenchang are printed on the head, so that students can use this pen to answer questions, so as to test their concentration and get ideal scores.

Three, a few days before the college entrance examination coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, giving children jiaozi, which means "senior three". Every family wants their children to be admitted to an ideal university.

Fourth, the breakfast for two days of college entrance examination is a fried dough stick and two eggs, which means full score 100. I believe that children are drunk when they see their parents' breakfast.

5. Two days before the college entrance examination, the family members' WeChat avatars were all changed to "to be the first in the exam" or "to be possessed by the exam". I hope that in this way, children can get all the correct answers in the exam.

6. When candidates come out, many parents will send a bunch of flowers. There are one or several sunflowers in the flower, which means first, winning the championship in one fell swoop and taking its harmonious and beautiful meaning.

Seven, of course, some parents will go to some temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, or find some fortune tellers to ask for the blessing of some gods, hoping that their children can succeed in their studies and be admitted to an ideal university.

I thought only ordinary people would be superstitious about these things and seek psychological comfort for themselves. Today, I accidentally brushed Mo Yan's article "The whole day of college entrance examination with my daughter". He wrote: "We are very lucky. Our daughter's examination room was arranged in our school, and an air-conditioned room was booked at the school in advance, which not only familiarized her with the environment, but also saved the pain of running back and forth. The wife who believes in Buddhism says it is the blessing of Buddha! I also said, yes, this is the blessing of the Buddha. Sitting in a taxi, I was secretly pleased to see the ending of the license plate number in front of me. Maybe I can get 575 points, so I can go to a key university. When the car was waiting for the light at the intersection, I looked at the car next to it. The mantissa of the license plate number is 268, and my heart suddenly becomes heavy. If I get 268, it will be terrible. "

After reading it, I was secretly pleased. It turns out that senior intellectuals also have such superstitious psychology, and even fantasize that children's scores have license plates. It seems that the college entrance examination not only tests students' knowledge reserves, but also tests parents' psychological quality. I don't know how many people will regret not choosing a lucky number when they take a taxi!

Although this superstitious practice is a bit cliche, it has no scientific basis. But at the critical moment of children's life turning point, the starting point of parents and teachers is understandable. In addition to psychological comfort, it can also inspire children to study hard, live up to the expectations of teachers and parents, and draw a satisfactory full stop for their high school life. It can be said that it is well-meaning.

I wonder how many of your teachers and parents won? What other "ritual" methods have you seen? Welcome to share your message.
