Is it better to send your children abroad for high school or college?

Is it better to send children out to high school or college? More than one friend has asked me this question recently. To tell the truth, I have never met this child who is going to study abroad, and my understanding of him/her is only a few words introduced by his/her parents. I really dare not give an answer rashly. If the child is extroverted, has strong independent living ability and learning ability, has been exposed to and likes foreign education methods, and the family hopes that he will go abroad to work or even immigrate in the future, then it may be more appropriate to send the child out to high school; If the child is not ready in these aspects, and the family also hopes that the child will return to China for employment in the future, then it is recommended to study abroad at the undergraduate or postgraduate level. As a bystander who has been writing news about studying abroad for many years, I can only give such advice according to my understanding. Then I will advise parents to take their children to consult a professional study abroad consultant. In fact, many friends told me privately that the reason why high schools choose to send their children to study abroad is mainly because of the relaxed educational environment and the concept of quality education abroad. Fundamentally speaking, it is also because they can't bear the pain of the college entrance examination. How bitter is the college entrance examination? Only experienced students and parents will feel deeply. For those who have never experienced it, just look at the heroic scene of the college entrance examination every year, and there will be some feelings. Perhaps it is precisely because many parents have this idea that the trend of studying abroad at a young age is becoming more and more serious. I don't know that studying abroad actually avoids a difficult problem, but it has to face more problems. According to the recently published blue book "Report on the Development of Studying Abroad in China (20 12)", the number of students studying abroad in China shows a trend of younger age. Relevant data show that in 20 10, the number of students with high school education or below in China was 76,400, accounting for 19.8% of the total number of students studying abroad that year. 20 1 1 year, the number of high school students studying abroad was 76,800, accounting for 22.6% of the total number of students studying in China that year, and the proportion increased year by year. At the same time, the safety problems of international students are frequent, and the safety of studying abroad has attracted more and more attention from all walks of life. Not only is it safe to study abroad, but the problem of returnees waiting for the sea has also caused many parents a headache. I don't advise students to study abroad immediately after graduating from high school. I've seen too many painful lessons. Not long ago, a senior executive of study abroad agency who faded out of the study abroad circle spoke frankly in Weibo. When this statement came out, it attracted different responses. Supporters and opponents have their own versions. Personally, I think one of the viewpoints is more pertinent, mainly depending on the children's own abilities. No matter what age you study abroad, you should make plans at least 2-3 years in advance to cultivate your children's abilities in all aspects except learning ability, living ability, social ability and character cultivation. Probabilistically speaking, the younger the child, the more problems there are in studying abroad. However, whether they can adapt to the foreign educational environment and study abroad successfully varies from person to person. If every family with a plan to study abroad can make careful planning and preparation before sending their children abroad to study, and pay attention to international vision, learning ability, independent living ability, social skills and language, then studying abroad is not a high-risk thing. Finally, give a piece of advice to students and parents who are interested in studying abroad: there is no real shortcut to education, and so is studying abroad. Don't stir up trouble, don't interfere. If every family with a plan to study abroad can make careful planning and preparation before sending their children abroad to study, and pay attention to international vision, learning ability, independent living ability, social skills and language, then studying abroad is not a high-risk thing.
