"Why send your children to study in the United States"

Nearly 60% of the report’s respondents are considering investment immigration, while 27% of billionaires have completed investment immigration. Last year, an article in the "Yangcheng Evening News" titled "It's better to go abroad to fight for your parents than to fight for your mother." The article said: Among the various reasons for immigration, children's education has become a priority for 80% of "middle-class" families. First choice. What kind of magic does American schools have that makes Chinese parents who “hope their children will succeed” flock to them so much?

In fact, many students and parents are very confused about why they go to the United States to study. The purpose of studying abroad is not strong. Most parents just think that American education is better than Chinese education. What is so good about it? Most parents and students don’t know much about it before actually going abroad. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for some students to adapt to the United States even though they may be able to do well in China. Also because of this lack of clarity, some parents don’t know at what stage they should send their children out - we often see stories about “little international students” negative reports.

Dr. Lu Jun teaches at a university in Beijing and is a well-known education expert. He once planned the best-selling book "Send a Letter to Garcia". He vaguely felt that there was potential public demand for the topic of American school education. He spent several years interviewing many students who had returned from the United States. He also personally traveled to the United States many times to communicate with principals and teachers of local schools. When the material was almost ready, he found his friend and senior publisher Wang Shui and expressed his desire to write a book and do a research project on the differences between American education and Chinese education. Wang Shui had studied for a doctorate in China and had study experience in the United States. Naturally, he was deeply aware of the differences between Chinese and American schools and strongly supported the manuscript Dr. Lu Jun was going to write. However, he believed that there were too many publications on study abroad guides, and suggested that Lu Jun first understand what the public needs most before writing. After that, the two spent half a year consulting and conducting surveys with different audiences in bookstores, schools, coffee shops, seminars, streets and alleys, etc., and sorted out a set of issues that parents are concerned about, such as how to spend the money invested in their children’s education. How to spend money so that children can learn the most useful knowledge, what can be learned by studying in the United States, what are the disadvantages of studying in the United States, what is the purpose of spending money for children to study abroad, etc. Dr. Lu Jun also took the opportunity to talk about his understanding of these issues. As expected, parents with different education levels, different occupations, and children in different grades expressed their enlightenment and enlightenment with his words of wisdom.

This book took three years from planning, writing, revision to publication. In the past three years, there have inevitably been some fine-tunings in U.S. education policies or schools, and some detailed data cannot be updated in real time. However, the desire of Chinese students’ parents to understand American students is even stronger. Moreover, the book does not use mysterious educational theories or boring data comparisons. Instead, it uses an easy-to-read language style from beginning to end to reveal the American students from kindergarten to kindergarten. When it comes to postgraduate education, the characteristics of different stages deserve our attention, as well as whether Chinese students can adapt to such teaching methods when they arrive in the United States. For example, Professor Lu Jun discovered that American education is elite education, while Chinese education is mass education. There are many educational elites in the United States, but there are also many mediocre people. As for the students educated by the Chinese education system, most of them are quite satisfactory, with few outstanding elites and few particularly poor ones.
