What do parents who are now trying to get their children to study abroad think?

My daughter went abroad to study last year and went to high school in Canada. Now, I have classes online at home. Ask me what I think now: I am glad that I made the right choice. At least, there is no problem with the child's emotional state, and we are never tired of watching it now.

I think, if possible, children should have the experience of studying abroad. Regardless of the content and level of the course, life experience, including educational experience, is rich. Foreign education is conducive to giving children opportunities for self-education and independent growth, which is seriously lacking in domestic education.

It seems that the epidemic has brought a lot of worries about studying abroad. However, this is only temporary, and it is a reason not to give up eating because of choking, and the world order will eventually return to calm. The epidemic did not reduce parents' demand for quality education, nor did it immediately improve domestic educational resources. The demand for studying abroad is still there. Especially the children in domestic intermediate high schools, their learning ability is not much different, but there are too many people in China, and the standards are too uniform and strict. Going abroad is the biggest opportunity for academic planning.

My child came back after half a year. She has her own opinions and doesn't have to worry about her studies. Her credits are among the best in the whole school, and her spoken English is also very slippery. She is willing to try things she didn't want to try in the past. Her so-called opinions and spirit are comfortable and rich.

Of course, parents' wallets are another problem.

I am a teacher and a parent who is going to let her children study abroad. There is no doubt that it is a tangle now, it is hard to say!

As a person who has studied and lived in Britain for nearly 20 years, I will answer your question.

First of all, there is a report on the economy, saying that the epidemic may have caused great harm to the global economy, but the speed of recovery must be much faster than the economic crisis in 2008.

It can be seen that public health emergencies really make people panic, but they recover faster.

Therefore, studying abroad is a rigid demand, and it will not be very different in the long run. Even many people are discussing whether the admission of some schools will be simple this year. I think this is unlikely to happen. Of course, after this epidemic, people may have multiple views on the significance of studying abroad, or the value of going abroad needs to be re-examined.

However, it is undeniable that studying abroad has a positive impact on children's life experiences, challenging children's self-independence ability and even expanding their horizons and thinking.

Therefore, as a guardian since 20 12, after communicating with some parents, I think there may be no great difference.

I'm glad to answer your question. Many parents feel that studying abroad is much more advantageous than staying at home. Then let's analyze the advantages!

First, language advantage. We have learned our mother tongue well in China. If we go abroad, we can learn other languages. Under the influence of foreign language environment, staying for three months is worth learning the language in China for one or two years, not to mention staying abroad for three years, so we have great advantages in language. Sometimes we can even master three languages when studying abroad.

Second, work experience. Studying abroad, most of them will have work experience. Different from China, foreign former students can apply for their own professional internships. You can be a teacher at the Confucius Institute or a Chinese teacher for foreigners. You can even volunteer when domestic leaders visit the country. This is work experience that domestic students can't get.

Third, the academic level. Foreign universities are generally based on extensive construction, and people generally choose to go abroad for further study. A country that is more advanced in some ways. Since it is more advanced, there must be more places worth learning.

Fourth, salary. If you graduate from studying abroad, your relative salary will be high, and it will be much easier to buy things, whether you have enough money or not.

Fifth, it is easier to settle in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. When you return home after graduation, you will get a discount when you settle down. After studying abroad for a master's degree, if you return to China, you can enjoy the preferential policy of settling in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Everyone must know the difficulty of settling in these cities in China.

Sixth, learning knowledge has achieved something. If you learn the technology and theory of developed countries and carry these things forward after returning to China, you will generally get very rich profits, which is the result that everyone wants to see. For example, Ma, Ma Yun and He are all successful examples of returned overseas students.

This may be the reason why parents try their best to let their children study abroad.

This is not a psychological problem. I think the point is that some actual situations in China really don't meet my own requirements, especially I think the current situation is very tense, which means great pressure in China, including every exam, college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination and so on. It is not that foreign countries are really much stronger than domestic ones, but that overseas practicality and overseas experience are stronger than domestic ones. His requirements for admission are lower and he does not need to take exams.

Then, many children, in fact, have a tendency to immigrate to work from the beginning. There is too much pressure at home, and they are employed in all aspects. Therefore, with this requirement, parents will also influence their children, and then parents will choose to emigrate to work. In other words, the trend of studying abroad at a younger age and the necessity and inevitability of studying abroad have become the affirmative answer.

As for the parents who try their best to let their children study abroad, what are their thoughts or psychology? In fact, it seems to me that this is a very normal thing. Everyone has the right to choose their own life or study. If there are conditions at home, it is not a bad thing for children to study abroad. Children can get more from all aspects, such as knowledge and insight.

There will be some parents, that is to say, they want their children to study abroad, probably because they think that the education and mode in China are somewhat different from overseas. At the same time, I feel that the quality of education in China is different from that in some overseas countries. Perhaps it is the information they learned through various channels that studying abroad will make children gain more and get more things, or perhaps it is because children can't go to well-known colleges or institutions with high educational quality in China because of various factors, so they want to let their children study abroad.

So I don't think. Some parents who let their children study abroad have some psychological problems, or what their children are like. On the contrary, I think they are trying their best to give their children the best educational resources.

Studying abroad has been hot in China for nearly forty years. Why is it still hot? It shows that studying abroad outweighs the loss, otherwise it would have been long ago.

As for the parents of children studying abroad, what do they think? I have to ask myself. If I can figure it out, it is that most people are looking forward to the early end of this epidemic, so that their children can successfully complete their studies and become useful people to society.

Many people on the internet say that those parents are regretful. Personally, I feel that this may be a bit too much. Compared with the needs of lifelong growth and education, short-term difficulties will not be the decisive factor. Even if there are many difficulties and obstacles today, treating it as a kind of hardship in life may be a lifetime wealth.

As the person mentioned in the question, let me share my current thoughts. Like many parents whose children are studying abroad now, I am also worried about the severity of the epidemic abroad. My son is now in the second grade in Texas, USA. The school was at home on holiday, and there was an online class a month ago. The summer vacation in American schools usually begins on June 3rd. Judging from the current epidemic control, schools will not start again in the last month or two.

A month ago, my family received an evacuation notice from the China Embassy in the United States and asked if we had any thoughts of returning to China. To tell you the truth, my mood is a bit complicated. I'm not worried that it's fake, but only minors are allowed to go home. How to make a child of 13 fly halfway around the world by himself? Fortunately, my son is accompanied by his family, and there is no situation in which small British students are not allowed to stay unattended. So we replied that we should give the opportunity to evacuate overseas Chinese to our compatriots who need it more.

A friend asked him why he sent his children to study abroad. This has something to do with the situation of each family. Because of work, my son followed us to study in the fourth grade in Canada, the fifth grade in the United States and the sixth grade in China. The idea at that time was to let children know this different world. Isn't there a saying? The world is so big, I want to see it! As a parent, especially a boy's parents, I hope my child will grow into a person with a good world outlook, values and cosmology. As the saying goes, good people are rewarded. Since he has such an opportunity, he has also consulted his children, and he is willing to study in the United States by himself.

Our generation was basically educated in China. From primary school to university, we have been receiving ideological and political education and various forms of education, lacking the thinking of looking at problems from the world. This is also an important reason why I support my children to study in the United States. Hard times can best reflect the characteristics of a nation. I hope he can have a deeper understanding and cognition of Americans and American culture through this epidemic.

Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching that fortunes depend on each other and fortunes lurk. The more difficult it is, the more positive it is. The more prosperous, the more cautious.

The video "Houlang" broadcast on the May 4th Youth Day stirred people's hearts. We live in a beautiful era, and everyone is no longer busy with simple material life. On the contrary, human beings began to think about how to make life more meaningful.

No matter where we are, no matter what kind of living conditions we face, as long as we have confidence and determination to overcome difficulties, we will be one step closer to the meaning of life.

Foreign students can live, study and develop their language skills with their classmates in their country.

Students with weak language foundation will face problems in different language environments. If we can't guide their adaptability correctly, their grades will inevitably decline. Therefore, parents should discuss with their children before sending them to study abroad, do not make decisions without authorization, respect their opinions, and consider whether their children are independent and suitable for studying abroad. Then stealing chickens and eating rice is not worth the loss.

After the epidemic, we may have to re-examine the original plan! There are too many things that have changed, need to change, are changing and will change! Think about it before you make a choice. The purpose of children studying abroad is not to stare at others, but to give full play to their strengths and achieve their goals.
