What problems should be paid attention to when studying abroad in American high schools?

First, the ratio of students to teachers and students. The proportion of students mainly refers to their own ethnic proportion. America is an immigrant country, and students of all races can be found in schools. In one class, the number of students in China does not exceed 15% of the total number. Exceeding this ratio is very unfavorable to students' English (forum) learning and cross-cultural communication. If this condition cannot be met, the minimum acceptable ratio is 1:20.

Second, focus on missionary schools, which is determined by the characteristics of American culture and even western culture. Experts say that when foreigners chat with China people, they don't know who Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Monkey King are, nor do they know Confucius and Mencius' thoughts. Even if their Chinese is very good, it is hard to say that they have integrated into China society. By the same token, in western culture, more than 90% of allusions and traditions come from the Bible. If students don't know saints,

Who are Peter and the others? It is difficult to communicate with mainstream western society in the future. Middle school students studying in the United States don't study professional knowledge like universities. For students to learn the cultural roots of their country, missionary schools are undoubtedly the best intermediate bridge.

The third is to choose the region. Generally speaking, the east coast of the United States has a good cultural heritage and many high-quality schools. Geographical location also involves the difference between tuition and living expenses. Schools on the east and west coasts of the United States are more expensive, with students spending more than 40 thousand dollars a year, while tuition and living expenses in the central region are lower, about 30 thousand dollars a year. In the actual selection process, parents often ignore the choice of high schools in remote areas of the United States. In fact, the difference between urban and rural areas in the United States is not obvious, and the quality of school education will not be significantly different because of the regional differences between urban and rural areas. "The main benefit of choosing a middle school in a remote area is peace of mind." Experts say that big cities have a colorful influence, and students might as well study in the countryside and enjoy the scenery instead of going out to bars in their spare time.
