Q&A: Can immigrants really give children a better education?

The answer is not absolute. However, through the resources of the United States, there is a great probability that children can be provided with a better education.

First of all, we might as well think about it. Why do many people who drift north to Shanghai stay in Beijing and Shanghai? Why can Beijing's school districts get sky-high prices? A big reason is that it can give children a better education. This is because the top primary schools, middle schools and universities in China are concentrated in these two places.

Similarly, although there are not many international students studying in primary and secondary schools in the United States, there are many undergraduate and graduate students studying in the United States. Every year, the top universities in the United States can get more than half of the rankings.

Although American universities are open to students all over the world, if you study in the United States from an early age, you will obviously have an advantage.

First of all, English is direct. Many linguistic studies show that adolescence is a critical period of language. After the critical period, although you can still learn a second language, the efficiency will be much worse.

Secondly, learn American writing "routines". Many foreign students have never understood what kind of composition the marking officer wants when they take the TOEFL GRE. Similarly, there are many international students who don't know how to write an application. These are not just language problems, but differences in culture and way of thinking are more important.

Third, applying for American universities should not only have good academic performance, but also pay attention to extracurricular activities. Studying in the United States, there are obviously more opportunities for such activities.

In particular, some "chicken soup" in the past made people feel that American education was a relaxed and pleasant education. It is true that many schools in the United States do not attach importance to cultural courses. However, as China people who have always attached importance to education, they usually try their best to send their children to schools that attach importance to cultural courses (which is also the reason why China people in famous schools are disproportionate). If there are sufficient resources, parents are willing to work hard to send their children to the United States. First of all, there are more opportunities for quality education.
