Why do parents send their children to American missionary schools?

When choosing a school, many parents begin to turn their attention to church schools. The reason is that in addition to providing some care for people who have just arrived in the United States, Chinese churches have gradually become a social place for Chinese people. In addition, Chinese parents believe that under the influence of religious ethics in church schools, the possibility of their children contracting some bad habits will be reduced. The original article is excerpted as follows: The United States has relaxed its visa review for Chinese students. International students from China have poured into the United States in large numbers, and the age of international students has gradually decreased. In the past, most of them were studying for postgraduate and doctorate degrees, then they were studying for undergraduate degrees, and now they are studying for high school and junior high school. Although various problems regarding young international students have been discussed repeatedly, parents are still flocking to them. Private schools in the United States recruit international students to make up for the lack of funds. Not only is it a reason not to do it, but it is already a necessity for some schools. International students are restricted from entering primary and secondary schools in the United States. Generally speaking, they can only study for one year before transferring to a private school. Although the top private high schools in the United States welcome international students, they also have quota limits. Therefore, many parents turn to ordinary private schools, among which church schools are beginning to gain popularity. In the United States, religious beliefs are very common, and the proportion of believers in the population is much higher than that in developed countries in Europe. In many European countries, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, taking Catholicism and Christianity as examples, most worship services are dominated by elderly believers, with few middle-aged people and even fewer young people. On the other hand, in the United States, there are believers of all ages, and the church has become an important part of American life. Affected by this, the number of Chinese religious believers and church organizations in the United States is so large that Chinese immigrants in other countries have never seen it. The religious beliefs of the Chinese are partly related to their cultural background, such as their belief in Buddhism, and a large part of them are influenced by mainstream society and have joined Christianity. Joining a religious organization after immigrating is a special phenomenon among Chinese immigrants, especially new immigrants from mainland China. Many new immigrants or those who have just arrived in the United States are unfamiliar with the country and have many difficulties. They enter the church through the introduction of relatives and friends and receive a lot of care and help, especially spiritually. Therefore, Chinese churches are very different from churches in mainstream society - Chinese churches are not only religious places, but also social places in Chinese society. This special nature makes Chinese churches more attractive among Chinese believers. Chinese churches It can also show great strength at certain times. For example, the Chinese church in California demonstrated its organizing and rallying ability when it opposed gay marriage. Many Chinese voters who had never cared about politics or voted came out to vote enthusiastically under the call of the church, which is eye-catching. Emphasis on education is a characteristic of the Chinese, as is the emphasis on the moral education of the next generation. Many Chinese churches have Chinese language and talent classes to attract children. Parents are also willing to send their children to churches because they feel that it is not easy for their children to be influenced by religion and morality. This view of learning is bad has been spread by word of mouth among Chinese believers, and many domestic parents have also been affected.
