The United States and Canada also have higher education, as well as school choice and school district housing. The only difference lies in the diversification of needs under the development of personality, and only a few people consider letting their children squeeze into the elite. Some children who want to become elites are very China. Before going abroad, I learned from various channels that foreign education is very relaxed. Many foreign mothers are worried about their children's future because of their generosity. Because of the looseness, many mothers who can't afford it at home send their children abroad Judging from Anne's class time and homework in Canadian public schools in recent years, foreign children are indeed much more relaxed than China children. Behind this relaxation, there are actually two problems. One is that the core goal of public education in North America is civic education for all children, rather than cultivating elites. On the other hand, even if you want to be an elite, you should start from the bottom of the pyramid and learn to be a social person. This is the basic requirement of the whole society for elites. For children who want to become elites, there are generally the following ways. Gifted and TalentedEducation, which are crowded into public education, are also called gifted classes. This plan is confirmed by legislation in the United States, but the implementation methods in different States are different. Some began to select from the first grade, and some from the third grade. Judging from the situation in Canada, we didn't pay much attention to this problem because Anne was still young at school. However, for junior and senior high schools, it is still a good choice to know about the Minischool in Vancouver's public education system because of my friends' personal experience. Part of this plan focuses on leadership; Some focus on art; Some focus on science. One of the projects graduated two years ahead of schedule and went directly to UBC (Vancouver University of British Columbia, Canada's top university). In Toronto, Canada, according to friends, the selection of gifted programs is relatively common, and the selection rate of children in China is also very high. There is no external information about the specific criteria for selection, and neither the recommended teachers nor the parents of the selected children can refer to any auditing criteria. The topic is completely open, no review is needed, and it is carried out in a natural state. There is a saying that it is related to children's language development ability and logical thinking ability. Not the existing knowledge, but the future development trend. I feel that Asian families, especially China families, still attach great importance to this project, but some white families will refuse to participate. Speaking of reasons, perhaps people have different understandings of elites. White families tend to pay more attention to personal interests rather than relying solely on academic performance. We think that the prestigious schools with high academic qualifications are not worth paying a particularly high price for a large part of them. For example, going to an Ivy League university in the United States, Chinese or other Asian families rarely give up as long as they can apply. But many foreign families can calculate the economic accounts. Some children will choose to attend a community college for two years, and then transfer to a rattan school in the last two years to reduce the pressure on tuition fees. In addition to the genius plan of public education, more families with economic foundation will choose private schools. In North America, public education is free, but private education is expensive. Generally, the tuition fees of good private schools are above $30,000 per year. The average annual salary of ordinary people in the United States and Canada is so much. In addition, in order to become an elite, all aspects of talent training are essential. This aspect is also a big expense every year. Therefore, even if the average white family attaches importance to education, it will not lose everything and give up the life needs of the whole family for the sake of children's study. Especially the average family has two or three children, so it is unrealistic for ordinary working-class families to go to private schools. Therefore, some families will choose to go to public schools in primary schools, and then wait until the middle school starts to see that their children really have this potential before sending them to private schools. This is also the choice of a white classmate's family when Anne went to school in Vancouver. Because at that time, their sister was about to graduate from primary school. According to the parents of the children, they were also like this when they were young. If a child can't attend private schools or gifted classes, many families also take the form of good public schools plus extra-curricular classes in order to give their children a good future. The ranking of public schools in North America has always been the data concerned by parents who attach importance to education, especially Asian parents. The famous tutorial school-Official Document School is also very popular, and its main source of students is Asian children. However, many children who go out from the mainland generally train with domestic Olympic math problems, hoping to gain an advantage through mathematics. In recent years, due to the large increase of immigrants from the United States and Canada, the trend of social education differentiation is particularly obvious. In the communities where Asian children are concentrated, especially in China, the ranking of schools has risen obviously, which has also brought great pressure to white families in China. However, African-American, Hispanic and other concentrated areas generally pay insufficient attention to their studies. Different goals lead to serious differentiation of students. The same North American education, some people say it is good and some people say it is not good, which is also related to this. I remember that a few years ago, a data published by a primary school in Toronto was circulated on the Internet, and the future income was predicted according to the current situation of students' study at school. The highest is China children, and the average annual income is predicted to be above 80,000 Canadian dollars, while the lowest ethnic group is below 30,000. I think elite education in North America is actually stratified education. People from different classes have different requirements, so the whole society has not formed a sense of urgency and anxiety for the elite, especially for entering the elite ranks through prestigious schools. Some people say that education in North America is an ignorant policy, which makes people of different classes feel that they have a good life. Based on this social atmosphere, many ordinary people are concerned about which position will be more stable, with higher salary and better security. For those children who don't plan to go to college, it is their goal to have social skills. From the social environment, the social status of blue-collar workers is not low. For example, the income of some blue-collar skilled workers is higher than that of white-collar workers. Therefore, a white mother said, "I am very satisfied that my son can become a bus driver in the future." Such a position does not require a bachelor's degree, and naturally it does not require everyone to strive for the 15% elite quota. Because the enrollment of famous schools values team spirit, heartfelt interest, persistence and patience in the process of pursuing interest, and the values of serving the society and serving the public, these are as important as academic performance. Therefore, children must be balanced and balanced on the road to the elite. So many people think that a good high school in North America is like purgatory. It is a prerequisite to spend a little time doing well in school, and the rest of the time should have various skills and social activities. Under this evaluation standard, children who can enter famous schools are often battle-hardened, and may continue to adapt to the high-intensity university life of famous schools without being eliminated.
