Chapter 172
Su Miao thought about it and said with a smile: "Then why don't I just not go to the key class? I'm used to studying on my own anyway. Key classes and regular classes are the same to me. I can relax more in regular classes, and I don't want to be too nervous."
In fact, she also felt that there was no need for her to join the key class. Just like when she joined the junior high school training team before, she was still studying according to her own progress. In this case, she would rather choose a more relaxed and pleasant environment.
"Are you sure? The teaching methods and pace of regular classes and key classes are different, and the learning atmosphere is also different. You have to think carefully. In fact, we are not in the same class, but we can still go to and from school together and talk together during breaks."
"Don't worry, Sister Jiayin. I have my own considerations. I know the limits of my abilities and what kind of learning method is most suitable."
Seeing her so confident, Ye Jiayin nodded with relief. Although Su Miao was young, she had opinions and maturity beyond her peers.
Many times she even felt that Su Miao's thinking was far more comprehensive than that of an average adult.
After the scores are released, everyone can wait for the admission notice at home. Generally speaking, the admission notice is sent to each candidate by post.
However, there have been too many cases where candidates did not receive admission letters due to various reasons, such as maliciously hiding letters, impersonating others, etc. After all, the current high school admission rate is only a few percent, and an admission letter can bring honor to the family.
Some poor students in the village who are admitted to high school will open an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and the villagers will spontaneously raise tuition for them. It is not easy for a village to have a high school or technical secondary school student.
Due to the above problems, many schools now send the admission notices to the Academic Affairs Office and then notify students to pick them up.
At least the candidate himself and his parents should be informed. As for whether he will go to school in the future, every family has its own problems, so it depends on the discussion of the whole family.
While waiting, Su Miao received a letter from Li Yuanyuan. The sweet words were as if the person was right in front of her.
"Miao Miao! Happy mailing! Congratulations on winning the top spot in the city's high school entrance exam! Don't ask me how I know, everyone knows. On the day the results were announced, a red sign was hung at the entrance of No. 1 Primary School, and the younger students were all congratulating you, their alumnus!"
I heard from our teacher that you are the first top scorer in the high school entrance examination in our county. Not only the primary school, but even the Education Bureau’s bulletin board has posted your good news. It’s a pity that you are not in Ning County, otherwise you would definitely be in the news.
Oh right! Which school did you choose for your high school entrance exam? Did you choose a high school or a technical secondary school? You should probably choose a high school. After all, your grades are enough to get you into college, maybe even an undergraduate program!
My family has already started discussing it. My parents hope I can get into a normal school, but the competition is so fierce! If my grades aren't good enough, I'll apply to a grain school. The score requirement there isn't as high as a normal school, but the positions offered are pretty good.
If I can pass the exam, I might start working around the same time as you! Luckily you skipped a grade, otherwise you would still be a student when I was working!
Construction has started on the Riverside Plaza. They say they are going to expand the area of the original plaza and demolish the old houses next to it. One of my classmates was not only allocated a new house after being evicted, but also received a large housing subsidy. It's really enviable. If our family hadn't moved two years ago, we should have received it by now.
..."
After reading the letter, Su Miao wrote back to Li Yuanyuan:
"Yuanyuan, Zhan Xinjia! Thank you for your blessing. I didn't expect that the leaders and teachers of No. 1 Primary School were also celebrating for me. Next time we return to Ning County, let's go visit our homeroom teacher together.
My aspiration is to go to No. 1 High School, and my future goal is to go to University A.
You must have confidence in yourself. If you have set a goal, work towards it actively. With two years left, and your current ranking, admission to a secondary normal school will be no problem.
I have compiled some study notes, which contain the key points of knowledge in various subjects that I have summarized. I will bring them to you next time I go back.
..."
After finishing writing, Su Miao put down the pen and thought about the current application situation.
From the 1980s to the early 1990s, the popularity of applying to technical secondary schools was even higher than that of applying to high schools.
Because the college entrance examination is difficult and the admission rate is low, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Although high school is already a high level of education, if you fail to get into college, you will need to find a job for yourself.
If you pass the exam to become a "secondary technical school student or a secondary normal school student", not only will your tuition be waived, but you will also enjoy food and oil rations and living allowances. After graduation, the state will also provide you with a job and you will enjoy cadre status.
If the candidate has a rural household registration, he or she can also achieve "agricultural to non-agricultural" status, which is quite honorable.
Such good treatment makes technical secondary schools the first choice for many outstanding students, especially those with rural household registration. This increases the competitive pressure on applicants and also makes the technical secondary school entrance examination more difficult.
To the extent that at one point the admission score for technical secondary schools was even higher than that for key high schools.
As far as Su Miao knows, there are many candidates in the key classes of No. 1 Middle School who choose to apply for technical secondary schools.
Because they have good academic performance and a high chance of passing the exam, they can start working in an organization a few years earlier than if they were assigned a job after graduating from university.
Those whose families are better off and have some connections will continue to support their children to go to high school and take college entrance exams.
After all, even if technical secondary school students and college students are assigned to the same unit after graduation, there will be differences in their positions. Technical secondary school students are generally assigned to grassroots positions, while many college students are directly assigned to leadership positions or management training positions. After a little movement, they will have a stable career path.
Li Yuanyuan's family all have jobs, and they most likely hope that their daughter can have a stable job, not work too hard, and live a safe and smooth life.
If you can be assigned to a unit where your elders work and have them take care of you, your life will be stable, so there is no need to take the college entrance examination.
According to the general public's perception, Su Miao's family already has a stable industry, so even if she stops studying, it will not have much impact on her life.
After all, they do not rely on academic qualifications to obtain job opportunities. Doing business values practical ability and experience more. For them, diplomas and knowledge are just an additional advantage, not a necessity.
However, Su Miao has different ideas from ordinary people. In her previous life, when she entered University A to study, she truly understood what it meant to "there are always people better than you".
She was surrounded by a huge treasure trove of knowledge, striving to absorb every bit of it. However, due to her family's financial situation, she had to devote her energy to earning tuition and living expenses, thus missing out on many valuable opportunities for academic exchange and advancement.
After her rebirth, she never held on to the idea of not making progress. The world is vast and ever-changing, and she must keep improving.
In this life, without financial pressure, she wants to enjoy her study time in a top university!
