Objectively speaking, although international schools have developed rapidly in recent years, there are still problems such as irregular running and imperfect system, so international schools are not perfect. Relatively speaking, due to the time advantage and the gradual improvement of China's education system, public schools are not so terrible, so they are not binary opposites. International schools pay more attention to stimulating children's subjective initiative, while public schools pay more attention to children's basic knowledge. Whether it is an international school or a public school, parents should weigh the pros and cons, and don't blindly oppose the two. Choosing the right one is the most important thing.

If you don't do enough research and preparation in the early stage of choosing a school, when the children encounter various problems in the learning process, the parents' first reaction is-the school has problems, the school is not good, I want to complain, and I want to transfer the children ... This result is undoubtedly a "fatal" blow to the children's academic career. Therefore, we should be cautious and cautious in the process of choosing a school, and it is best to give it to a professional teacher for guidance.

Myth: Studying in an international school reduces the burden on children.

In the high-pressure competition, reducing the burden on children is an important purpose for many parents to choose international education. In public schools, there are full loads of homework, uninterrupted competitions and exams, but choosing international schools pays more attention to the all-round development of students, and there are relatively few homework. Parents will take it for granted that they can reduce a lot of burdens.

Teachers who have been deeply involved in international education for many years and students attending international schools say, "International schools are not easy at all!" Although there are few repetitive assignments in international schools, there are many exploratory assignments. It is not uncommon for many homework to look up information on the internet, refine opinions, do it well, and stay up late to do homework. In addition to the knowledge of school textbooks, students also need to spend time on social practice and interest cultivation, which requires us to have strong independent learning ability and time management ability.

Myth 3: You can escape the competition for further studies.

Whether it is public education or international schools, competition is everywhere. Many students studying in public schools aim at Peking University, Tsinghua, 985, 2 1 1 and other schools, but now students and parents who choose international schools aim at the top 100 schools in the world that are more difficult to enter than domestic universities.

International schools pay more attention to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality and advocate holistic education, which does have its advantages over exam-oriented education, but it also means that we will face different challenges!

If you really enter the circle of international schools, you will find that many parents who attend international schools attach great importance to learning, and many students are very smart and diligent. Therefore, if you choose this road, parents should adjust their mentality in time to help their children establish a good sense and concept of competition and bravely face more intense competition.

Myth 4: In an all-English environment, English will definitely be learned well.

Many parents think that international schools teach in English, and they choose international schools to let their children learn English well. A good understanding of English by parents means a strong English listening and speaking ability, which really needs a good environment to help children learn. But we put more emphasis on the application of English, such as learning knowledge in English. What we want to learn is academic English. There is only one trick for young people to master academic English, and that is hard work. It has little to do with any language environment. I have come into contact with many young international students. Some of them studied for two or three years, some in America, some in Canada and some in Australia. Their language environment is better. But I found that their English ability is not ideal, even poor.

Misunderstanding five into the international school = into the world famous school.

Some parents think that choosing an international school can get into a famous university. Many students in international schools go to Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge every year, so can my children go to international schools and be admitted to world famous schools? First of all, there are individual differences among children. Even if you enter a top international school, you can't guarantee to enter a top university. With the upsurge of studying abroad, in recent years, there are more and more applicants from prestigious schools, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger. For example, the difficulty ranking of this application is the proportion of candidates who get an offer after applying for a British university. The top three are: Oxford University, with an admission rate of only 23%; The admission rate in university of the arts london is 30.2%; At Cambridge University, the offer rate is 3 1.2%, and only one or two hundred offers are issued by famous domestic schools every year. It can be seen that studying abroad is easy, and it is quite challenging to get into a good university!

Myth 6: The curriculum system is not very different.

The curriculum system of international schools has its own characteristics. To a great extent, choosing a school is also choosing a curriculum system suitable for children to lay a good foundation for their future study career. We all know that the mainstream courses at present include A-Level courses, AP courses and IB courses, and each course has its own complete evaluation system and advanced process, which even determines the general direction of studying abroad in the future. Therefore, in terms of curriculum system, parents must consider in many aspects, clarify the characteristics of different curriculum systems and their own learning direction, so as to prevent children from finding problems such as inadaptability when they start learning after entering school.

No matter which education path you take, it is essential to work hard to stand out from the crowd. If you choose international education out of an escape mentality, you are wrong from the beginning. There is no turning back from inside the system to outside it. We must have the courage to look back, at the same time, we must have the ability to control the overall situation and understand the children. In addition, all factors should be fully considered when choosing a school.
