Core textShort article
取消排名之后发生了什么
Why this text is here: Analyze an education policy change without reducing the outcome to one cause.
一所中学因担心公开排名加重学生压力，决定在一个学期内停止公布全年级名次，只向学生提供分项反馈。政策实施后，部分学生表示焦虑减少，但也有家长担心无法判断孩子在年级中的位置。A middle school stopped publishing grade-wide rankings for one term because of pressure concerns and provided category feedback instead. Some students reported less anxiety, while some parents worried about losing comparative information.
学校没有因此宣布改革已经成功，而是同时比较学习投入、缺勤、心理咨询和考试表现。虽部分指标改善，但不同年级变化并不一致。教育理念可以提出方向，具体政策是否有效仍需要明确目标、连续数据和不同群体的反馈。The school did not declare success. It compared engagement, absence, counseling and test performance. Although some indicators improved, changes differed by grade. Educational principles can guide direction, but policy effectiveness requires clear goals, longitudinal data and feedback from different groups.

两位教师谈评价方式
Why this text is here: Compare educational philosophies using concrete classroom consequences.
我也反对只看名次，但如果完全没有比较信息，部分学生未必知道自己的学习节奏是否合适。I also oppose relying only on rank, but without any comparison some students may not know whether their pace is appropriate.
不是要不要评价，而是评价信息怎样组合，才能既支持学习又避免不必要压力。It is not whether to assess, but how to combine assessment information to support learning without unnecessary pressure.
to implement; to carry out; to introduce (a policy, system, reform etc); to promote; to advance (the practice of an art form, the use of a language etc); to push along (a bicycle etc while walking)
