History of Datong No.6 Middle School

In the 1990s, Datong No.6 Middle School moved its campus to Datong Confucian Temple, where only Dacheng Hall, Shenchu, Shenku, Xiangxian Hall, Minghuan Hall and Jimen were left. In 2005, the cultural relics department carried out an overhaul of the two halls of Datong Confucian Temple. In 2008, Datong started the protection and restoration project of Wenfu Temple. On July 20th of the same year, Datong No.6 Middle School moved out of Wenfu Temple, and the teaching building, which was less than 15 years old, was also demolished.

September 1 day, 2008, is the first day after Datong No.6 Middle School moved from the former site of Confucian Temple at No.3 Fuxuemen Street to the new site of the former Datong Nanyang School at No.30 Binxi Road. This day when everything started with a brand-new look and a brand-new feeling is destined to write a brand-new chapter in the development history of Datong No.6 Middle School.

On the morning of September 2, the autumn sun was shining brightly and the sky was crisp. The widening and reconstruction of Binxi Road is coming to an end, spacious, open and open-minded. Although it was not open to traffic at that time, this impression has made people feel particularly distinct. As soon as I entered the Sixth Intermediate People's Court of New Datong City, I saw a huge flower bed full of flowers and two huge colored balloons hanging on both sides of the school gate, which added a lot of festive atmosphere to the campus. The teaching building and office building have all been completely painted, and many workers are busy repairing and renovating the library, gymnasium and fully enclosed playground. When the bell rang, the children cheered and ran to the open space between the two teaching buildings to play games. The reporter asked two female senior high school students: "Do you like the new campus?" "Of course, the conditions here are very good." "Are you used to studying in the new campus?" "There are many students who go to school a little far from home, but everyone likes the new campus very much. I'm not used to it. We like this change! " In the sun, in front of the flower bed, the smiling faces of the two girls are particularly bright.

Indeed, such a change is great for Datong No.6 Middle School. The former Sixth Middle School was built on the site of the Confucian Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty, full of traditional cultural charm, while the new campus is European-style and lively. The original No.6 Middle School was deeply hidden in the old-fashioned residential area, and the road was winding, which always seemed a little crowded and closed. However, the new campus is on the edge of the modern bustling commercial street and beside the thoroughfare avenue, which is quiet and has an open mind.

The change of No.6 Middle School originates from the change of the city, which highlights the change of Datong education pattern. In 2008, Datong is carrying out large-scale protection and restoration of the ancient city. According to the protection plan of the ancient city, Datong No.6 Middle School, which occupied the former site of the Confucian Temple, decided to relocate. No.6 Middle School, with outstanding teaching achievements, has gradually become a prestigious school in the ancient city, which is yearned for by many students and parents. However, the narrow and cramped environment limits the further development of No.6 Middle School, and whenever students go to school, the congestion caused by narrow and winding paths often becomes more difficult. This situation is common around many "famous schools" in Datong ancient city, such as No.1 Middle School, No.2 Middle School and Experimental Primary School. The changes in the sixth middle school provide an excellent example for solving these problems in a package. The change in the Sixth Middle School is not only the revival of the Confucian Temple, but also the cicada change in the Sixth Middle School, the integration of educational resources in Datong and the rebirth of the campus that has been idle for three years.

Xiong Xiangquan, the principal of No.6 Middle School, told the reporter: "Now, the teachers and students in No.6 Middle School are all in high spirits and want to do something new. On the one hand, the conditions and facilities of the school are much stronger than before, which makes everyone more confident. On the other hand, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have invested heavily in the relocation of the school. Everyone hopes to repay the good conditions and new opportunities created by the municipal party Committee and the municipal government for the development of the school with practical results. "

The overall relocation project of No.6 Middle School is not only vigorous, but also extremely fast. From July 26th, 2008 to 3 1, in just a few days, all the teachers in No.6 Middle School fought day and night, moved all the teaching facilities to the new community in just a few days, and completed painting and external decoration during the summer vacation. Many teachers have been fighting day and night in the new campus all summer, presenting a brand-new and clean No.6 Middle School to the students at the beginning of school. In the old campus of No.3 courtyard of Fuxuemen Street, the demolition project is also vigorous. With the demolition of a loud teaching building, it shows the unique charm of the Confucian temple after hundreds of years of vicissitudes.

There are many large residential quarters around, and the relocation of No.6 Middle School has made this once overgrown campus overgrown with weeds. Accompanied by Jia, director of the teaching and research section of No.6 Middle School, the reporter once again carefully walked around this beautiful campus. Jia's introduction is like a few treasures, and it is difficult to hide his joy: "The school now has 70 or 80 classrooms. In the first day of this year, four classes were expanded to become 16 classes, and only 40 classrooms were used in the third day, leaving enough room for the subsequent development of the school. " "On the fourth floor of the East Teaching Building, all the latest and most modern facilities have been adopted, and 3 language labs, 3 multimedia classrooms and 4 microcomputer rooms have been renovated." "In the past, there was only one library converted from a classroom in No.6 Middle School. Now there is a real library with two floors. " "The gymnasium is also very big, which can not only allow students to carry out sports activities, but also carry out various cultural activities." In the interview, I met Li Yang, a Chinese teacher in Senior One. When she learned that the reporter had come to interview the changes in No.6 Middle School, she said, "We are very happy, we are very confident, and the future of No.6 Middle School will be better!"

After the relocation, in order to inherit the unique history and culture of No.6 Middle School and maintain the continuity of Chinese studies education, the school rebuilt the white marble statues of Confucius and the Twelve Philosophers, the antique zhaobi and the music fountain on campus in line with the school-running philosophy of "creating a harmonious environment and promoting national culture". On the front of Zhaobi, the principal wrote eight characters "Never tire of learning, never tire of teaching", and there are ten copies of The Analects on the back. In order to give full play to the functions of campus facilities, the school has re-planned the layout of playground, library, canteen and gymnasium, set up a podium, updated audio equipment, added reception room and activity room, installed campus street lamps and some fitness equipment, and replanted a large number of flowers and trees. Now it is basically achieved that there are flowers in spring, green in summer, fruit in autumn and green in winter. In addition, a small garden with an area of about 1.200 square meters has been built, with pavilions, rockeries, pines and cypresses, lawn flower beds and winding paths, which are very elegant and become a good place for teachers and students to exercise. 20 12 September, No.6 Middle School merged with No.14 Middle School of Datong City to form No.6 Middle School Group. The original Nanyang School was renamed Datong No.6 Middle School, and the original No.14 Middle School was renamed Datong No.6 Middle School. Xiong Xiangquan was appointed president of Datong New Sixth Middle School Group.

When the Youth League School of Datong No.6 Middle School was just established, people in Zhenhua South Street raised more and more questions: all the recent graduates of Datong No.6 Middle School 14 moved to the North Campus to study and live in the same campus as the students of Grade Two and Grade Three of Datong No.14 Middle School. Will this arrangement affect the grades of the graduating class? Will the overall teaching quality of the school decline? And so on, there are even cases where parents of junior three students in Datong No.6 Middle School openly oppose moving into the North Campus. Faced with these different voices and parents' doubts, the management team of Datong No.6 Middle School turned pressure into a driving force for continuous exploration. In order to ensure the quality of teaching, the school has made great efforts in the integration of teachers and the implementation of teaching and research work. The classroom teaching reform in Datong No.6 Middle School has been carried out for 10 years, and various classroom teaching modes have been formed. After the merger of the two schools, the enthusiasm of the teachers in the former No.14 Middle School was unprecedented. They actively studied the new teaching mode, changed the teaching strategy in time, and cooperated with the teachers in No.6 Middle School to learn and develop, thus realizing the mutual benefit of the high-quality teaching mode. In just a few months, the gap between the grades of the six graduating classes in the original No.14 Middle School and No.6 Middle School is gradually narrowing. Nowadays, the campus environment and students' appearance of Datong No.6 Middle School North Campus have taken on a new look. Wang Xiuying, vice president of Datong No.6 Middle School Group, described the reform experience in the past six months as follows: In retrospect, bitterness is sweeter. Because we directly answered two core questions that people are generally concerned about with conclusive facts: First, running schools in groups did not dilute "milk". Second, running schools in groups with the aim of "let more children receive better education" is really promising. "With the rapid expansion of the school scale, the construction of teaching staff and the professional growth of teachers are the key to steadily improve the quality of education and teaching." Sun Bo, vice president of Datong No.3 Middle School Group, said in an interview that the teachers in these two campuses are composed of three parts, namely, the former No.3 Middle School teachers, the former No.15 Middle School teachers and the new teachers recruited by the education department from the society. Because of the combination of management mode, the teaching and scientific research activities in the school are also piecemeal, and each campus arranges its own school-wide activities to maximize the enjoyment of high-quality educational resources in each campus. At the same time, well-known backbone teachers should carry out effective mentoring activities regardless of campus to promote the growth of young teachers as soon as possible. When talking about the future development of group schools, Sun Bo said, "Group-run schools", "prestigious schools run branch schools", or whatever other names have been popularized as a new mode of running schools; It is an objective fact that this new mode of running a school is good or not. Moreover, this new school-running model has effectively alleviated the contradiction of people's "difficulty in going to school" and shortened the process of balanced and fair quality education. These should be indisputable facts. Therefore, what we need is not to argue, but to study how to innovate management methods, improve management efficiency, and strive to make every school a truly prestigious school.
