A few days ago, a survey on the reasons for immigration by a domestic portal news website showed that among nearly 500 respondents, nearly 80% chose immigration mainly for the education of their children.

According to the data disclosed by BBC, in 20 13 years, the number of China people who invested in the UK and obtained immigrant visas increased by 80%, and the immigration project10 million pounds, and 30% of the applicants came from China.

According to a survey conducted by local Chinese media in the UK, educational immigration is one of the main reasons for the increase in the number of China applicants who choose to immigrate to the UK.

The result of this choice undoubtedly reflects the traditional educational thinking mode of China family-all for children. However, when paying a high price, coming to a strange environment, starting a new life and trying to integrate into the local society, will parents reflect on whether such a choice is worthwhile for their children?

A home that separates the two places

In China, children are faced with the shortage of various resources and the resulting competition before they are born. With the arrival of the post-80s baby boom, it is not easy for expectant mothers to find a bed in a well-known maternity hospital to give birth smoothly. It is often necessary to dredge the relationship between hospitals and make various arrangements in advance to ensure that there are beds for children to be born smoothly. Otherwise, you can directly pay a high fee to stay in a private hospital to solve the problem.

After the baby was born, various problems followed, and various concerns about milk powder purchasing, air quality and food safety stumbled all the way. Only when I was promoted to kindergarten did I find that even going to kindergarten had to pay tens of thousands of sponsorship fees.

Needless to say, the sponsorship fee for key primary schools is 10 thousand yuan a year, which is not small until the children graduate from primary school.

More importantly, children's schoolwork burden and the pressure of further education are very great. Although the first and second grades of primary schools in China have lightened the schoolwork burden, the endless classes after class have evolved into a part of the skills for further studies, not just for hobbies.

In this way, the burden on children has not been alleviated at all, and parents accompanying various cram schools often struggle between work and taking care of children, feeling stressed.

In this case, many parents have no choice but to emigrate for further study. Mr. Wang's son, who is doing business in China, graduated from primary school this year. Because his family has traveled abroad, he is very familiar with the overseas environment. Before emigrating, he also specially inspected the secondary education in Britain for his son to study abroad.

Mr. Wang's family chose the 6,543,800,000 investment immigration project in the UK, and soon got an immigration visa, and his son's enrollment procedures were quite smooth.

Seeing that my son's school environment is good, and the number of students is strictly limited in China, don't worry that children can't grow up in an English environment. Mr Wang's family is still very happy.

But at the same time, another problem has arisen, that is, Mr. Wang Can can't get away from his business in China, and he can only fly between China and England. In Britain, the wife takes her son to study, and the couple can only live a life of separation, and the time for family reunion is getting less and less, so a complete home is divided into two halves.

Immigration can solve the problem?

Teacher Wang's original intention is to make children's living environment and educational environment better than that in China. Fresh air and safe food can ensure the healthy growth of children.

Open space and positive environment give children space to create thinking, and children can plan their future development direction according to their own interests.

At the same time, in school, children can get in touch with children from different cultures, races and backgrounds, learn tolerance, respect and acceptance more easily, and their social skills are constantly improving.

Undeniably, all this is very beneficial to children's growth, and it is also what parents who can't go out in China are most eager to have.

However, in the environment where children grow up, a complete family is particularly important for their physical and mental health.

Many immigrant families have fathers who work at home and mothers who accompany them abroad full-time. Many children have only their mothers at home for a long time, but they lack the care of their fathers.

The vast majority of relatives and friends at home are also in Britain. Such an unbalanced environment does not play a very good role in promoting children's physical and mental development, which often leads to the formation of unsociable personality characteristics of children from an early age.

China people's educational thoughts are often bound by the concept of "all for children". Although in the eyes of parents, their choices and sacrifices are for their children, in fact, they are not all the same in the eyes of children.

When I first arrived in England, I made friends with several aunts. I found that when they talked, 99% of the content was around children's activities, such as how many A+ s they were still taking and how many A+s famous universities their children were admitted to, but they rarely mentioned their hobbies and work contents.

Later, I thought about it, which may also be the common fault of China's parents. When they have children, they forget themselves, especially their mothers.

I always pin all my hopes and future on my children, but as a child, children want to see a parent who has made achievements in his career and has good personal interests, so that parents can keep good communication with their children at any time and communicate harmoniously with them without being left behind by their children.
