Is there no pressure for foreign children to go to school?

Besides public schools, there are more and more private schools in China. However, it is an indisputable fact that good public schools are extremely difficult to enter and private schools are generally expensive. Tell me about England. I know a little about it. Schools in Britain are also divided into public schools and private schools. Public schools, like domestic schools, are completely divided according to school districts, and the quality of school teaching is mixed, with a big gap in ranking. Good public schools have limited enrollment each year, and there are many people waiting in line. Students in some school districts even queue up at school when they are born, and may not be able to go to school. Under the same admission conditions, according to British law, schools must admit students according to the number of years their families have lived in the area and the distance from the school. There is no difference between Britain and China. Good schools in Britain also have strong pressure to enter higher schools to maintain the annual school rankings, and the competition between good schools is fierce. Most private schools in Britain are divided into private primary schools or private secondary schools, and some private schools can graduate from kindergarten to high school. The quality of teaching in private schools is generally good, but tuition, school uniforms and examination fees are very expensive. In recent years, the economic downturn, soaring prices and increasingly expensive tuition fees have driven many families who can barely afford to send their children to private schools out of private schools. There is another school in Britain, called grammar school, which is actually a grammar middle school. Only 1 1- 13-year-old students are admitted from public schools or private schools after passing the examination of our school. The teaching quality of the school is excellent, and the coefficient of going to a famous university is very high, but it belongs to a public school and does not charge tuition. According to the British natives, grammar schools are public schools with the teaching quality of private schools, which are aimed at outstanding students who can't afford to attend private schools or are unwilling to continue to pay the high tuition fees of private schools. In other words, they are "free private schools" in Britain. Except for extremely wealthy families, most parents of primary school students aim at grammar schools and let their children choose schools when they are young. Students in grammar schools must pass the school exams before they can be hired. Under the same test scores, the school is bound by other quantitative indicators according to law. The entrance examinations organized by these schools are usually difficult, and the enrollment ratio is extremely low, sometimes reaching 15: 1. Because the proportion of its graduates going to college is quite high, compared with private schools, tuition fees are not charged, so the number of applicants is large, and students from public and private primary schools come to take the exam. In addition, according to government regulations, such schools must have a certain proportion of students from public schools every year, which further increases the competitiveness of grammar schools. Unless you are extremely rich and can pay for the tuition and fees of private schools where your children graduated from kindergarten to high school for more than ten years, you will choose two ways, as most parents think: either choose to let your children go to public primary schools and attend intensive classes at the same time to help them take grammar schools when they graduate from primary schools; Or, let children attend private primary schools and intensive classes at the same time to enhance their competitiveness when they graduate from primary schools and take grammar schools. Moreover, the competition on these two roads is comparable to the intensity of domestic xiaoshengchu. From this, we can imagine how many parents of students in public and private schools in Britain are thinking about letting their children take this grammar school every year. Can you imagine how fierce the competition is? ! I know an English mother. Her three daughters all study in the same private primary school. After class, she signed them up for intensive training courses. Every time she graduated from primary school, she took her daughter to take entrance exams for several grammar schools, just in case. Her two daughters have been admitted to two grammar schools. According to her, this saves her family more than 50 thousand pounds in private school fees every year! Her youngest daughter is only in the first grade of primary school, and has already started to follow the path of her two sisters. The headmaster of a well-known private primary school told me personally that the parents of two graduates from his school had a big fight in the parking lot for one of them to be admitted to the grammar school and the other in the same grade failed. Of course, if you want your child to finish primary school, junior high school and senior high school in any public school in the school district, then you can expect your child to graduate from high school effortlessly, and there will be no pressure anywhere! Like all parents in China, parents in Britain want their children to succeed in their studies and go to a good university in the future. Faced with so many schools, parents in Britain, like parents in China, make various comparisons and then decide whether to send their children to public schools or private schools, and then send their children to an intensive class with official documents in their spare time. Even the children studying in private schools, since the first grade of primary school, most of them have signed up for Kumon class. This intensive class is not organized by the school. Most of them attend classes once or twice a week, then take home a lot of homework and practice intensively every day, which has nothing to do with interest. Most schools in Britain have little homework, and lower grades have half an hour's homework every day. However, in the face of increasingly fierce competition, parents can't calmly face the rhythm, intensity and difficulty of school study. Therefore, like domestic parents, most parents will give their children extra burdens in their spare time. After school at three o'clock every day in the middle of the week, many mothers will rush to send their children to interest classes or intensive classes. Therefore, in the face of the same school selection competition, never say that foreign children or parents have no pressure, they just have different attitudes and forms of expression. I know an English mother. Her son has been sent to Kumon class since he was three years old. Now, in the second grade of primary school, his grades in listening, reading, writing and arithmetic are the first in the class. One of my girlfriends enrolled her daughter in a Kumon class in the first grade of primary school in a private school, and accompanied her six-year-old daughter to do more than ten pages of exams and exercises every day. She was exhausted and didn't talk about it. Many times, her daughter was very reluctant, and she was forced to go to Lacrimosa. It can be seen that parents in Britain and China are under equal pressure in choosing schools and entering higher schools, but there is one thing that is absolutely different between Britain and China. That is to say, whether in public schools or private schools in Britain, there are absolutely no circuitous ways such as school selection fees and sponsorship fees, and there will be no circuitous ways such as red envelopes and gifts beyond the various fees stipulated by the school. This is worth learning! However, look at the domestic atmosphere, as parents, don't daydream!
