"I want to go back to Beijing to go to school
One year after returning from Beijing, Sun Junfeng, who had
just finished his first year, will be dismissed by the school because he is
playing mobile phones in his bedroom. Sun Junfeng once went to school in a
migrant school in Haidian District, Beijing. Because he had no hope of the
college entrance examination in Beijing, he returned to school in August last
year.
This result is unexpected. In the impression, Sun Junfeng is
not a troublemaker. Playing mobile phones will not be serious enough to drop
out of school. The only thing that can make her think is "scores."
He Wei is the head of the New Citizens Program Mobile
Children's Xiaoshengchu Group Tracking Project. In the past year, she tracked
the changes in Sun Junfeng's class after the election of Xiaoshengchu in
Beijing. Almost all of the 25 returning children have experienced a decline in
performance.
However, the change in academics is only a visible point on
the iceberg, and more hidden worries are still under the iceberg. For most of
the children who work in Beijing, there is no way out in Beijing, and returning
home means variables. They are often at a loss as they adapt and build new
networks of relationships.
According to the data provided by the New Citizenship
The program, in 2017 alone, the number of non-Beijing students in Beijing Xiaosheng
decreased by 23,411, accounting for 45.5% of the total number of non-Beijing
primary school graduates.
He knows that most of them will choose to return to school,
but she wonders what they will experience? How will the change happen?
First,
leaving Beijing - the choice that has to be made
In the sixth grade last semester, Sun Junfeng, who had been
attending school for migrant children, he learned that he would return to school.
He asked if the mother could go back together. Still not married," Sun
Junfeng said nothing. His father sent a takeaway at McDonald's. He went out at
8 or 9 in the evening and arrived home at 90 in the morning, almost all year
round.
Sun Junfeng grew up in Beijing. A family of three rented a
the single room of 1,500 yuan/month in Qinghe South Town of the North Fifth Ring.
There was only one bunk bed in the room. The upper bunk was full of debris. The
1.2-meter-wide lower bunk was the mother. When Sun Junfeng rested at night, the
ground was covered with luggage. "I feel the rhythm of running at any
time." When He Wei first went, he sat without a seat and could only stand
and talk to Sun Junfeng.
In the past fourteen years, in addition to the most
important things, Sun Junfeng rarely returned to his hometown of Zhumadian,
Henan Province. In Sun Junfeng's class, nearly half of the students grew up in
Beijing. They followed the steps of their parents' work in Beijing, and some
have not returned to their hometown for four or five years. Since March last
year, He has selected a six-year class in the nine-year, nine-year migrant
school as a sample of interviews, observations, and records.
She counted the whereabouts of this classmate after
graduation. Of the 43 people, only 18 were left, including 3 to go to Hebei to
go to school and 1 to go to Beijing. The remaining 25 people are returning to
their hometowns, and more than half of them want to stay in Beijing. Their
parents are generally engaged in cleaning, take-away, construction, etc., and
only a very small number of college graduates.
Parents are very clear that, contrary to the policy, the
migrant children in Beijing will only have two career paths in the future.
Parents worry that the school will face the risk of demolition at any time,
just like the group renting houses they live in. Also, the increase of 500 yuan
per semester and nearly 10,000 tuition fees per year is not a small expense for
the working families.
Although returning home can adapt to the teaching of the
home in advance, preparing for the college entrance examination, but this
the decision is not good.
Chen Qiuju and her husband came to Beijing for the past ten
years. They contracted a newsstand in a university. The children were brought
by their grandparents in Henan’s hometown before the age of 8. The results were
not satisfactory. After coming to Beijing, they were between the public school
and the migrant school. Twisted, the results did not improve, Chen Qiuju quite
regretted this. However, if you return home together, the source of your
family's life will become a problem. If you iron out your heart and let your
child return home alone, can you stay in the environment and learn the rhythm?
To alleviate this concern, Tian Miao’s mother is one of the
few parents who decided to return home to accompany her. “I want to bring my
child to my side, and I have to teach well when I am born.” She inquired about
the teaching materials used in her hometown school very early. Let the daughter
get familiar with it when she is free.
This is also what He wants to observe and record. She has
provided financial and technical services to teachers of hundreds of migrant
children's schools across the country and has contacted tens of thousands of
migrant children. She is quite clear about the current situation of migrant
children's schools, but she has not yet There has been a detailed study of the
changes in the lives of migrant children returning home. "We may see some
conclusions, but no one knows how these changes happen."
According to He Wei’s statistics, 14 of the guardians of
returning children are taken care of by their ancestors. There are 5 parents or
unilateral guardians, and 5 of them return to their hometowns. There is a need
for relatives to take care of them. The father of the child has six brothers
and sisters in his hometown. In the words of the child, "I don't know who
is standing at the school gate on the day of school."
Second,
return home - the whirlpool of student status
The trip back home is not going well, and most students are
stuck in the first step.
He Wei had recorded that Li Yiyi’s family had found her a
private high school with a good rate of enrollment in Anhui. Yiyi’s excellent
English scores were quite confident in Xiao Sheng’s interview for oral English
assessment, but the results fell.
After Yiyi’s family found the school teacher, they learned
that the school registration form provided by the school did not have a school
seal. “The registration form is filled with the Beijing XXW School. The school
records show that the JQ school in Henan is not worth mentioning, and both
schools are private schools, which is very informal.” Other children who have
been transferred from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang public schools have
complete procedures and are admitted.
Li Yiyi’s migrant school does not have a school permit. The
student’s student status is linked to a private school in Henan. This may be
subsidized by local schools, but the move is outside the regulations and the
seal is left. It is quite difficult. He Wei believes that the school only
provides services for student registration. As for the transfer of students and
stamps, the school does not care.
The student’s status also made the mother of Tian Miao, who
also returned to Anhui, suffer. Tian Miaoyuan could enter the town’s middle
school according to her home, but for better education, her mother rented a
house in the county and borrowed the landlord’s The real estate license office
has gone through the formalities of the county public school.
I never thought that the students who requested the transfer
from the school must issue a “transfer certificate, a student card, and a stamp
from the local education bureau”.
Tian Miao had twice sought the principal of the Beijing
school but was told that the transfer from across the province could be
operated online, and the school could not open the certificate, but the people
in the hometown told us that without these materials, the school could not get
in, and many people struggled, Miao Miao, I also looked for He Wei, ask if you
can get down from the next official seal on the Internet, but he refused.
In desperation, Tian Miao found the school in Henan who was
affiliated with the school but was told by the school teacher that the chapter
was in the hands of the legal person, but she could not find the legal person.
They began to ask the hometown to find the "relationship" in the
Henan education system. After checking the school records of Tian Miao, the
other party found that Tian Miao had graduated from graduation in July 2017.
The admission should be directly on the second day, which made Tian Miao mother
panic.
Sun Junfeng was also stuck in this. Because his grades were
not satisfactory, his father had let Sun Junfeng stay for one year, but he did
not know that there was no special reason for the policy to not allow the
grade and he did not apply. When returning home, Sun Junfeng faced two
choices, either directly on the second day, or returning to the original school
to find the principal and the local education bureau to write proof and seal.
However, from the above situation, the latter is very difficult.
Li Yiyi and Tian Miao took a turn around and used a lot of
relationships. They can be counted in school. Sun Junfeng also entered a public
school in Biyang County, Henan Province, but the student status is still
pending.
Third,
adapting - mutual fan slaps become logical
The school that entered the hometown has only just begun to
return to the children.
Back to the public school in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, Li
Zhongjin was stopped on the first day. The security guard asked him to go back
and change his clothes. The reason was that his jeans had broken a few holes.
This dress was specially prepared for his return home. His family is better, he
often sports a famous brand, and the family finds a relationship to let him
enter the school rocket class.
During that time, Li Zhong was relatively closed and did not
want to communicate with others. "They felt that I was wearing a cold, and
I entered the Rocket class by relationship." The other party swore and the
two played one. Sun Junfeng will also encounter the provocation of "the
greatness of coming to Beijing", but he does not think that his classmates
are malicious, which is the same as when he sees his classmates throwing
garbage and swearing. Sun Junfeng is introverted. He has more than 1,000
schools and more than 60 class members. But now, he has not spoken to most girls
in the class.
He Wei said that Beijing's life will leave a mark on migrant
children. The online shopping experience, behaviors, and dressing often make a
difference with students in their hometowns. It will also cause certain
pressures and even make it difficult for friends.
Sun Junfeng knows what the purpose of his family is to send
him back. He said that he has worked hard. "I don't know how to learn, no
one tells me how to do it, how to learn, and can't keep up." In the
previous two months, Sun Junfeng Passing the English, all others hang "red
light",
On one occasion, He Wei went to the school to find Sun
Junfeng, and was regarded by the mathematics teacher as his "sister of
relatives". At the door of the classroom, He Wei was trained. "How do
your parents, when you throw this child? At home, nothing happens, learning is
so bad, homework is not done, and the scores in our class are all lowered. I
don't know whom to look for, why send him back?"
He Weihui: Because there is no way to take a test in
Beijing, there is no student status.
The math teacher said, "It doesn't matter. As long as
the grades are good, you can return to the exam in the third grade. You are now
sending him back and throwing it at home. Do you think you can take high
school?"
Every weekend, Sun Junfeng’s mother will call him. He also
thought about reciting classes for Sun Junfeng, but he would take more than two
hours of bus from home to the county and the school would not provide accommodation
on weekends.
Without the support of all parties, Sun Junfeng’s
performance has almost become inevitable, and Miao Miao, who was the first in
Beijing’s regular test has been poured cold water after returning to a private
school in Anhui’s hometown. The first monthly exam, because of the sixth-grade
textbooks are not the same, her mathematics only scored 66 points.
According to the project team, after returning to the
hometown and staying in Beijing, the returning group has an average of 4 more classes
per day than the staying Beijing group, and the writing time is about 2 hours
longer. The teacher should be stricter.
In many counties in China, the exam is still the mainstream
of the school. The rate of enrollment often becomes a hard indicator. The
performance of the teacher is directly related to the student's performance.
Therefore, the tactics and punitive measures that are forced out are all
overwhelming.
Miao Miao's English teacher will check the words. If he
doesn't write, he will ask the same table to slap the slap. If the sound is too
small, the teacher will have to do it. In the beginning, Miao Miao feels that
this is embarrassing, but the training has been long. The best students are
also beaten, and everything seems to be a matter of course. Because of the poor
grades and unfinished homework, the "squatting board" is not a small
number of students returning home.
This is different from the near-stocking status of Beijing
migrant children's school students. Ningning, who stayed at the migrant school,
said that the teacher looks very busy and tired, and does not pay much
attention to the students. "The last class will let us study
ourselves.". Ningning’s performance is very bad.
He said that this is related to the government's lack of
support for migrant children's schools. "Beijing public schools have an
average of tens of thousands of students, and most of the labor costs of
migrant children's schools come from the market." Thousands of tuition
fees per year for teachers to solve teacher upgrading and school construction.
All aspects of the problem are a drop in the bucket. The treatment is low, the
good teacher can't stay, and only the secondary school education,
interdisciplinary, and inter-school year teaching is widespread. "The
school is more fulfilling the functions of custody and care."
Parents who are serious about academics are dissatisfied
with the quality of teaching in the children's schools, but He also stressed
that in terms of curriculum richness, due to the supplement of social
organizations, some quality courses will also enter the migrant children's
schools. Compared with the schools where the old students are pure exams,
"the foundation of quality education is still there."
In the summer activities of returning children organized by
the New Citizen Program, more than a dozen returning students share the ideal
teachers and most of them hope to have a strict teacher, can survive the
students, and rarely involve the teacher's business ability.
Fourth,
fleeing - habits of companions lost and unfamiliar
When he first returned home, Sun Junfeng’s weekend was spent
in a lounge provided by his brother’s unit. He said that his brother had taught
him to study. When he was not, his brother still used him to do things. He
often recited things for learning. Sun Junfeng was bored, but soon his brother
was transferred to the city because of his work. Sun Junfeng had to return home
alone. This is no small test for him who has never lived in his hometown.
When I took the bus home from the county for the first time,
Sun Junfeng accidentally passed the station. My brother opened the car for five
hours before finding him in a village that could not be named in the middle of
the night.
Sun Junfeng's home is a two-story building. His father
thinks that Sun Junfeng is so big, life should be able to take care of himself,
but this is not the case. When he arrived at his house, the weather was a bit
cold. She found that Sun Junfeng’s bed had no scorpion. He would not cook. He
had no regular diet. When he was hungry, he went to the supermarket in the town
to buy snacks and quick-frozen dumplings. The clerk is his relative, he can't
name it, just smile, nod, pay the bill.
Sun Junfeng’s weekend home is like a home in Beijing. The
activities are only a few kilometers away, and few people are walking around
with neighbors, like living on an island. Sun Junfeng’s mobile phone does not
leave, and there will be loneliness when the game is tired. However, he still
does not take the initiative to contact friends in Beijing. He Wei noticed that
this phenomenon is not rare. A student who stayed in Beijing complained to her.
A few friends who returned home clearly showed that qq was online, and there
were screenshots of the game on the dynamic, but they did not return his
information, so he did not want to contact.
He Wei once asked Sun Junfeng, he answers that he did not
have time to look at the mobile phone, but he was very timely in returning
information. She also noticed that four or five students returning home quietly
exited the qq group. He Wei has seen the relevant research on the “companion
relationship” of the children of migrant workers returning home. The scores of
the “companion alienation” of the returning children are significantly higher
than those of the migrant workers who stayed behind.
He Wei recalled the mustard heap. In April last year, she
entered the school early to observe the emotions of the children who were about
to return home but found that there was not much turmoil. She speculates that
children who have long-term mobility and frequent changes to their homes and
schools may have been “accustomed to losing their companions at any time”.
However, after leaving the country for more than ten years,
it is not easy to make it easy for distant relatives to make up for it quickly.
When I returned home, I stayed at Dan's house for a while. My grandfather, who
was in her 70s, came to see her from a three-hour tricycle in the countryside.
She wanted to get closer to her granddaughter, but she looked at her
grandfather and moved outside the sofa. Then, with the mobile phone ran out, He
Wei, who was watching at the side, felt very angry at first, thinking that she
did not respect people, but she said that she did not live with her grandfather
and felt very afraid of him, while another partner felt that Taking care of my
ancestors' patriarchal situation, I feel that "I don't want to communicate
with them at other times unless necessary."
Resisting and fleeing seem to be the stress response they
often make in the face of the new environment, and more often than not.
A child returning home because of his self-study on Monday
night was too late to stay at his grandfather's brother. He Yan observed that
the child is very unnatural in the living room. "If you sit on a needle,
you are more cautious than me." Buy some snacks and put them in your
child's bag, but the children at home will go to pull his bag and take things
away, but he won't stop it. The reason is: I live in someone else's house.
Isn't he supposed to take something? ?
5. The cow
that is constantly being hammered: "If there is no way, then it is like
this."
“Homecoming children often take themselves out of social
relationships, distinguish them from the environment around them, and cannot
cope or construct new social networks in a new environment.” He said that
parents have little or no ability to teach. They deal with these situations.
But the channels for children to seek help are often not parents and teachers,
but mobile phones. Like a mother who is returning to school and lacking
friends, the articles in the WeChat circle of friends have suddenly increased.
He Jun had Sun Junfeng sorted the importance of mobile phones and parents, and
Sun Junfeng did not hesitate to choose the former.
In contrast, children with left-behind experiences seem to
have higher acceptance of returning home, preferring to get along with each
other, and among the students who are in contact with each other, it is more
convenient to show that the home is more convenient, and they can help to take
care of the elderly by the way. My ancestors, some say that after returning
home, "the pressure of being forced by parents to learn is small." Of
course, there are also Tucao. "Parents who sell vegetables in Beijing get
up early every day, and they can't disturb their rest and can't find people to
speak at home on Saturday and Sunday." That kind of loneliness, in their
eyes, it seems more comfortable to return home and grandparents.
A survey by He Wei showed that children who grew up in
Beijing and returned to their hometowns had an average of more weekly calls or
video interviews than their parents. They were only received in Beijing after
school and returned home again. Child. Most of the children returning home are
more willing to return to Beijing after one year, of course, if conditions
permit.
The increasingly obvious trend is that there have been
experiences of migrant children, the inability to enjoy equal educational
rights in Beijing, the separation from parents for a long time, the inability
to return after returning home, the increase in various uncertainties, and the
consequences are gradually The child appears, and the feeling of decadence is
often seen in these children. They seem to accept all kinds of disappointments
that have been added to their bodies. "If there is no way, then it will be
like this," like a cow that is constantly hammered...
Mingtai also had to return home in the new semester. Before
she took care of her younger brother, she continued to study in Beijing for the
first day. To keep up with the teaching progress in her hometown, her family
let her stay for one year and returned to Sichuan Nanchong to live with her
aunt next semester. On the street, the mustard piled up to ask her about her
impression of life in Beijing. She said one thing, to the effect that
everything in Beijing is like the dream/glass, disappearing and fragile. Ming
Tai almost participated in all the summer activities of returning students in
Beijing, as if to catch the tail of the last memory.
Sun Junfeng still doesn't know where to read next semester,
but he tells the mustard pile that he doesn't want to bring a smartphone
anymore. He Wei said that when the questionnaire was filled in the activity,
Sun Junfeng put a blank on which column is more important to you. Before that,
he chose a mobile phone.
