What social problems do the 10,000 people in the Mao Tan factory reflect?

The scene of thousands of people sending exams is shocking.

On June 5th, Maotanchang Middle School, known as "the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia" in Maotanchang Town, Jinan District, Lu 'an, Anhui Province, once again ushered in the traditional "examination-sending festival". At 8: 08 in the morning, under the leadership of the police car, 28 buses carrying candidates slowly drove out of the school and went to the test center in Lu' an.

It is reported that this year, there are 55 new classes and 67 cram schools for senior three in Mao Tan Middle School, and more than 10,000 students have taken the college entrance examination. Outside the school gate of Maotanchang Middle School, more than 10,000 parents and residents lined up in the streets to bid farewell to the college entrance examination candidates and go to the "front line". Although today's scene is far from its peak, it is still shocking.

The bus that took the test left on time at 8: 08, and nearly 10,000 parents gathered on both sides of the road, watching the bus slowly leave, and inspiring slogans were overwhelming ... The scene was shocking and touching. After decades of hard work, the results will be announced soon. Parents' mood is uneasy, but more is their blessing and concern for their children.

What social realities are reflected?

Behind the grand occasion of sending thousands of people to the college entrance examination is the correct but helpless choice made by parents and students in order to pursue a higher enrollment rate. Under the examination-oriented education, many students struggled for more than ten years and finally lost in the final college entrance examination. It is precisely because of all kinds of failures in the college entrance examination, too many cases of bleak life and uncertain future that parents who are eager for their children's success are even more afraid of the college entrance examination, fearing that if they are not careful, their children's future will cease to exist.

However, countless real-life cases are warning us that success is not limited to the college entrance examination. Although it is somewhat negative, how many undergraduate graduates, even students with higher academic qualifications, eventually work for bosses with lower academic qualifications? This is the sorrow of exam-oriented education. Is the college entrance examination a wooden bridge, a dead end or a smooth road to the other side?

I hope that the parents of the majority of students will treat it calmly, especially in recent days, incidents that affect social stability such as fighting and theft caused by sending exams have occurred from time to time. Sending the exam is the embodiment of family affection, but not sending the exam is also silent support!
