Chinese school allows students to borrow marks from 'grade bank' to pass tests

中国学校允许学生从“分数银行”借分数以通过考试



Many of us have been there: hopelessly unprepared for an exam, wishing we had studied more and certain of a failing mark. Now for students at one school inChina, success is guaranteed, but it comes at a price.

很多人都有这样的经历：考试前没好好准备，好后悔当时没好好学习，考试成绩肯定不及格了。现在，对于中国一所学校的学生们来说，成功是可以保证的，但是要付出相应的代价。

A high school in eastern China has set up a “grade bank”, where students who would normally fail a test can borrow points to push them over the line into a passing mark.

中国东部的一所中学成立了一个“分数银行”，要是有学生考试没通过可以从这个银行里借分数，从而保证成绩及格。

But nothing in life is free, and students must repay their borrowed grades with even higher scores on a future exam. Students can also do extra work in the form of lab experiments or public presentations to repay the bank.

但是天下没有免费的午餐，学生必须在下次考试中取得更高的分数来偿还这些借来的分数。学生还可以用过在实验室做实验或者上台演讲的方式来回报分数银行。

China’s education system is heavily dependent on just a few major exams, with entry into college almost entirely determined by one test in the final year of school. Students are under so much pressure to perform, many attempt increasingly hi-tech methods of cheating. Spy cameras and radio devices have been found hidden in jewellery, spectacles, wallets, pens, rulers and underwear.

中国教育系统严重依赖少数的重要考试，大学入学考试几乎只由最后一次的考试决定。学生压力极大，很多人都尝试高科技的作弊手段。在珠宝，眼镜，钱包，铅笔，尺子以及内衣里都发现了秘密摄像机和无线电设备。

“The purpose of exams are for students to uate, correct and improve their studies, not to make things difficult, punish, destroy student’s enthusiasm,” Huang Kan, a director at the school, told the Yangtse Evening News.

“考试的目的是为了让学生评估，调整和提高自己的学习，而不是为了让事情变得困难，也不是为了惩罚和摧毁学生的热情，”该校校长对《扬子晚报》说。

LOL now that's what I call grade inflation.

SO... if your 'china-japan war history' isn't so good, you offset it with your better 'chairman Mao is the best' history scores... makes sense...

所以。。。如果你的“中日战争历史”考试分数不高，你就可以用“毛主席是最好的”历史分数来弥补。。。很有道理嘛。

This is more than a little bizarre. Apart from reinforcing the belief that education is like money - something you can borrow, invest or lose, rather than something you earn - it also allows students to game the system by transferring points from subjects they are strong in to subjects they are weak in. This gives a false impression to university admissions officers that a student has a broad rather than a narrow knowledge base, and it also undermines the integrity of exams which can only - and should always - measure a students' performance on the day.

这太奇葩了。这不过是强化了教育就是金钱的观念——一种可以借取，投资或者损失的东西，而不是某种你可以得到的东西——而且学生还能玩弄这种系统，即将强项学科的分数转移给弱项学科。这会让大学的录取官员产生错误的印象，即某个学生的知识面很广而不是很窄。同时，这种做法还削弱了考试的完整性，即考试只能是测量某个学生当时的表现。

Like the financial system, this grade bank is rigged for the rich and powerful, The so called princelings will "borrow" grades and never pay them back... Just like their parents do from Chinese banks.

和金融系统一样，这种分数银行会被富有和权势的人操纵，这些人的子女会借取分数并永远不偿还。。。就像他们的父母借了中国的银行的钱而不还一样。

That is not a bad idea! When I was in school we had closed book exams but we could bring in a "cheat sheet" that we had to turn in with the exam, there was a penalty for using one and a larger penalty for too much cheat sheet content. The instructors got to see what we thought was important and hard to remember so they could improve their lessons. It was a win-win all around.

这不是一个坏想法。我读书时，虽然是闭卷考，但是我们可以往里面带“小抄”，但是所带的小抄要和试卷一并上交，带小抄是要接受惩罚的，而且小抄上的内容越多，惩罚就越大。通过小抄老师可以知道学生们认为什么内容是重要和难以记住的，这样老师就可以提高自己的课堂教学，双赢。

It's a terrible idea, because it allows students to artificially inflate their grades. Whether they do so with 'credits' earned from other exams is irrelevant. The whole point of an exam (and indeed any form of summative assessment) is to measure a students' performance against set criteria. If they meet that criteria, they do well. If they don't, they don't. Thus has it ever been in education, and no amount of financial gobbledygook concerning a so-called 'grade bank' will change that.

这是个糟糕的想法，因为这让学生人为的膨胀自己的分数。是不是通过其他考试来弥补这不是重点。考试（以及任何形式的总结性评估）的作用在于测量一个学生在某个标准下的表现。如果他们的表现满足标准，那么的学习就是好的。如果不满足，那么学习还不够。这就是教育的本质，这不是所谓的金融官样文章即“分数银行”可以改变的。

How about the ingredients in Chinese food exported to your kitchen, you believe those?
You believe any data coming out of China?
