Why do more and more junior high school students go to the United States to attend high school?
Some parents are far-sighted and send their children to the United States for high school after graduating from junior high school. So ... many people have questions. After all, studying abroad is a relatively expensive and long-term project investment. Why not wait until your children graduate from college before going to the United States? In this way, children can take care of themselves, and secondly, the cost is relatively small. Of course, studying in the United States in high school is different from studying in the United States in undergraduate course. Here, I briefly analyze why it is wise for students to study in the United States in high school. First, the American education system. As we all know, American education methods and methods are the best in the world. American education teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, and the courses are divided into elective courses and compulsory courses. In addition to the necessary elective courses, students can also choose courses according to their learning level and interests. In this way, compared with the cramming study of domestic high school students, the purpose is only for the college entrance examination. American education can give full play to students' initiative and consciousness in learning and let children study in a stress-free environment. Second, American education actively cultivates children's creativity, ability to find and solve problems, so in the process of learning, teachers don't tell you how to do it directly, but let students explore it themselves, so that high school students need to run the library, consult materials, do research, write papers and make reports themselves. In China, it is estimated that only college students will think of the library if they want to write papers and reports. So at this point, American children's ability to solve problems by themselves is indeed stronger than that of China children. Third, American high school extracurricular activities are rich and colorful. There are various clubs in the school, such as drama, art, school magazine, computer, chorus, dance, football, track and field, basketball, tennis, badminton, swimming and so on. Social activities are also an important part of senior high school life, including student union, sports meeting, concert, dance, small Tongji Association and community service, which can give full play to children's imagination and cultivate a sound and balanced personality. Fourth, many high schools in the United States have AP courses, so that children can take AP courses as college preparatory courses after completing compulsory courses. Good pre-university grades are very helpful for getting into a prestigious school, so that children can beat other students at the starting line. In addition, famous universities attach great importance to students' participation in community activities and voluntary services when enrolling students, while domestic high schools generally pay more attention to grades and rarely have extracurricular activities or community activities. Therefore, attending high school in the United States can greatly increase the chances of entering famous American schools, and at the same time cultivate students' creative potential and social activity ability. Fifth, finally, the younger a child is, the stronger his ability to learn a language and the more he can integrate into the diverse environment of the United States. In addition, through the collective life of the school, we will create more opportunities to contact local students in the United States and adapt to the local environment faster. So to sum up, children can lay a more solid foundation for the future and make better plans for their lives after being baptized by American high school education methods.
