The girl's twenty-year-old dream came true, and she put her schoolbag on her back again. In my dreams, I am also reciting books, and I insist on reading articles when I am sick...... "The girl" in the Shanghai opera "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is Wu Peifang, the founder of Jianxiang Primary School.
In 1958, with the support of the policy of "both public and private administration", Wu Peifang and three other housewives who only had a Chinese language in the first year founded the first private primary school in Shanghai, Jianxiang Private Primary School. At that time, the conditions of private schools were poor and the quality of teaching was poor, and many people thought that if they could run the school, the chicken feathers would fly into the sky. Later, after a year of hard work, the three "founders" really made the chicken feathers fly into the sky, and Jianxiang Primary School was known as the "red flag" of private primary schools. Since then, "chicken feathers flying to the sky" has also become the spirit of Jianxiang Primary School.
Today, Jianxiang Primary School has been transformed into a public primary school and is one of the "four public primary schools" in Xuhui. In 1999, the former Yongjia Road No. 2 Primary School was merged into the branch school of Jianxiang, where junior students studied. The two campuses cover an area of more than 7,000 square meters, the students' activity space is relatively cramped, the hardware of the branch campus located in Yongjia Road is also slightly poor, and the main school has art rooms, music rooms, reading rooms, computer rooms, natural knowledge laboratories and other special rooms and libraries, and the facilities are relatively perfect.
As of March 2018, there are more than 80 teachers in Jianxiang, including 6 senior middle school teachers and 51 senior primary school teachers, accounting for about 70% of the total number of teachers. There are 75 students with a bachelor's degree or above, more than 90% of the total number of teachers, and the teacher-student ratio is about 1:15. According to parents, in 2015, three people in Jianxiang were admitted to Huayu Middle School, ranking eighth among primary schools in Xuhui District, and the rest of the years are unknown.
Among the "four major public primary schools" in Xuhui, Jianxiang has the largest amount of homework. Students need about half an hour a day to complete homework in the first and second grades, and the trend has increased since then, with 1.5 to 2 hours for the third grade and 2 to 3 hours for the fourth grade. In fifth grade, 10,000 English words and "uncountable" essays were just part of the summer assignments.
Jianxiang has made great achievements in bilingual teaching and science and technology education. It is the only public primary school in Xuhui District that has hired foreign teachers, and its students have achieved outstanding results in English competitions. In addition, Jianxiang is adjacent to the Shanghai Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has the title of science and technology characteristic school, and many students have achieved excellent results in science and technology competitions at all levels. The school's computer teaching also enjoys a good reputation in the city, the computers in the two computer rooms have relatively top configuration, and the students have participated in various computer competitions in the country and the city for many times, and have repeatedly won good results.
The two high-quality junior high schools in Yuhe City are also an important reason why Jianxiang has attracted wide attention. Bit education is the first echelon of public schools, and the second echelon of the city belongs to the second echelon, if you choose to go to the opposite school, because the small promotion is the computer allocation, so the probability of entering these two schools is the same. Jianxiang's counterpart neighborhood committees (2017) are Jianyue, Taiyuan, Yongtai (partial), Yongjia New Village, Jianxin (partial) and Xicun (partial) in Tianping Street, and the school district houses are Taiyuan Mansion, Baroque Palace, Yueyang Building, Art Apartment, Zhi Building, Taiyuan Community, etc., with prices ranging from 87,000 to 180,000 yuan per square meter. The above price information is as of June 2018.
