Why do some parents send their children abroad to study at high tuition fees?

I'm glad to answer this question. As a parent and an educator, many parents around me, including their own students, want to study abroad. Why is this happening? I have been thinking about this problem myself, and I think it is mainly due to these reasons:

First of all, I feel that foreign teaching concepts are advanced. When many parents in China talk about schools, they think that foreign education is better than domestic education, and foreign education resources are sufficient. Education conforms to children's nature, so that children can fully cultivate their hobbies. The most frequently heard example is that domestic teachers teach children to draw apples, but the teachers draw one directly on the blackboard, and then the children below draw as they please. The foreign teacher gives each child an apple for them to observe and guide them to draw. The teaching concept attracts parents and makes them willing to pay huge tuition fees to send their children abroad.

Secondly, I feel that the quality of teaching abroad is better, the reputation is better and it is easier to be recognized. Many children in China, especially those who are studying for graduate students or doctors, yearn for foreign countries. They think that foreign academics are excellent, the experimental conditions and learning environment abroad are good, and they are willing to go abroad for further study.

Third, I feel that there is little pressure to study abroad. At home, it is full of competition from primary school, from junior high school to university, all the way down, children are constantly competing, and good teaching resources are limited. If you want to enter a good school, you must stand out from the fierce competition.

Finally, it conforms to the domestic obsequious psychology. I feel that my children are returnees after they come back from studying abroad. It is more advantageous to work in domestic enterprises. Think of this as a kind of capital for future work and job hunting.

This is my personal shallow understanding, and I hope it will help everyone.

At present, this question can not be answered by the words of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things. Because as far as national conditions are concerned, the so-called "foreign countries" have nothing to brag about. Let me start with the things around me and talk about many considerations that parents give their children to study abroad at all costs.

If you say "spending money lavishly", for example, small international students studying in Britain and the United States can count. I don't fully understand the mentality and consideration of such parents, but I should have an idea that I can better integrate into the local culture if I go early. There is a policy in Britain that you can apply for permanent residence after ten years of continuous residence. Is it also related to such regulations to study abroad at such a young age? Off-topic, chinese baby had better let his childhood teenagers receive authentic China Putonghua education, which can't be bought at a lot of money in the future. Another situation, which is also the original intention of many parents, is to let their children escape from the complicated studies in the domestic basic education stage. In fact, parents can hardly bear all kinds of psychological burdens and pressures brought by the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. I have a neighbor across the street. My child is a junior high school student and was sent to the United States for junior high school in the second half of last year. The mother of the child has also experienced a long choice. She started a company of her own and is usually too busy to care about her children. In primary school, children have always been open management, easy to learn, and their grades are upstream. However, when entering junior high school, homework in all subjects comes to me, and the children can't adapt completely, and gradually decline, which will not change the status quo for a while. So I went abroad.

Tell me about those who study in international high schools. I have come into contact with this category more, mostly because children's junior high school grades are average, and some are even worse. China University is difficult to enter, especially the first-class universities. Even if these children go to high school, it is difficult for them to compete with excellent students and eventually enter the so-called last-class universities, making it difficult to find jobs. What shall we do to go abroad like this? Applying for a university abroad is not as rigorous as the college entrance examination. For example, if you go to the United States, as long as your language performance meets the requirements of the school, it is not difficult to get the Offer from the top 100 school. These universities are quite good, and their international rankings are similar to those of well-known universities in China. For various reasons, parents in China are reluctant to let their children go to technical schools or technical secondary schools. Whenever possible, they will send their children to college, even if it is a large sum of money.

Finally, talk about graduate students going abroad, or applying for going abroad in their sophomore and junior years. I am in favor of this way of going abroad. First, the cost will not be so much, and the cost performance is high. For example, a graduate student who goes to the UK for more than one year can spend 500,000-600,000 RMB. Secondly, children have grown up, and they are quite good at self-reliance and self-discipline. There will be no accidents, and you can broaden your horizons. Third, the domestic postgraduate examination is similar to the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. I don't think it is necessary to go the same way if conditions permit. You can experience different admission modes. People who are about to enter the society will try to travel far and live independently before going to work. I don't think this has anything to do with worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things. When I was young and my parents were still in their prime, I went out for a walk.

So times have changed, and China people's attitude of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things has become a thing of the past. If some people are really cowards, they are not even qualified to be China people. Speaking of metropolises, Shanghai is comparable to new york. Go out, just to see the world and think about how powerful China is. Ha ha.

As a parent of two children, in view of where I live now, objectively and fairly speaking, my children's school is private, with a lot of homework every day and the teachers are quite responsible. Most boys are slower, and they need to write their homework to 10 with the progress of the teacher every day, so they have no time to think for themselves. The school was also the first to write 10! What about public schools? The proportion of public schools admitted to key high schools and universities is extremely low. How do parents choose? I definitely want to go abroad, of course, when the economy allows, so I think going abroad is to give children time to think and really express their ideas, not to let students from famous schools go abroad. Most of them work for Indians, and everyone has different views on going abroad in different environments. This is normal. If the world is the same, will the colorful world still exist?

I am a kindergarten teacher who has worked for more than ten years. Let me talk about my views from the perspective of kindergarten:

10 years ago, most of our third-and fourth-tier small cities were private parks with bosses and directors, and few kindergartens joined Beijing. Six years ago, the number of chain kindergartens opened from Beijing increased. Five years ago, the number of international kindergartens increased, and wrobel, Montessori, Original Ecology Education and Waldorf were introduced from abroad. ...

1. Parents pay more and more attention to education.

With the improvement of per capita living standard, the family's requirements for children are gradually improved, and children are expected to receive better education.

In order to meet the needs of parents, kindergartens constantly look for the needs of parents and give them psychological and external satisfaction.

2. In order to meet the needs of face.

The children of colleagues in the office all attended international kindergartens. If my children don't go, it will prove in disguise that they are not knowledgeable enough, have insufficient financial resources and have shallow thoughts.

In order to prove yourself, send your children to an international kindergarten.

I like beautiful appearance and fancy facilities.

In order to make children have a better happy learning and living environment, kindergartens will focus on investing in hardware facilities.

When parents choose a kindergarten, they intuitively feel that the place is large, the facilities are complete and the environment is beautiful, so they are willing to pay a good price to send their children to places with beautiful scenery.

Conclusion: Some imported education is worth learning. Only by understanding the advantages of other countries' education can we "localize" foreign high-quality education and combine it with the essence of our education to cultivate talents in all aspects of our country.

1. What you are familiar with is the same old story. Might as well go out and receive a quality education.

Everyone has lived and educated in China for decades, and they know the advantages and disadvantages of China very well. Because they know the domestic education model too well, they will send their children abroad to absorb different knowledge in order to let them receive a better education.

2. Avoid the pain caused by "examination trial".

Due to the large population in China, only a few people can enter key universities for further study.

In order to get into a good university, children have studied hard for more than ten years. Parents have sharpened their heads, bought "school districts" at high prices, and even handled "household registration transfer" for their children, paving the way for their children to enter key universities.

This road to success is too narrow, too many people and too difficult.

China welcomes "international students" and provides them with many job opportunities and generous treatment.

"Gold-plated" college students and graduate students are easy to find jobs when they come back, and their wages are high, which is one of the reasons why parents send their children abroad.

To live abroad in the future.

In order to prepare for the family to move abroad in the future, let the children adapt to life abroad in advance.

Everyone has different views on education. Every parent wants his children to get better and better. It is understandable to send children to places that they think are most conducive to their education. Our children and I are both in China, and we can't understand their thoughts.

It is common sense for many people to send their children abroad if conditions permit.

First of all, we can broaden our horizons and learn about different cultures and histories of other countries. What you get on paper is so shallow that you never know what you have to do. If you want to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, you must go out.

Second, you can get more exercise by living independently abroad. Learning ability, survival ability and social ability determine whether a person can live happily and succeed in his career. Living abroad for a few years, your ability must be good.

Third, you can find a better job. Returning from gold plating abroad is a sea returnee, holding a foreign diploma. No matter where you go, whether you go to private enterprises or state-owned enterprises, you must be highly valued. It will be easier to find a job and the pay will be better.

Fourth, if you have a foreign status, it will be even more wonderful. Being an international friend after returning to China, it is certain to enjoy super-national treatment. Want to go to Tsinghua, Peking University to study or work, may be a word.

Fifth, when children go abroad, parents earn face. The praise and envy of friends and relatives make people intoxicated, and even jealousy makes people happy.

I think the reason is nothing more than the following: 1. Sending primary school students abroad at a high price is nothing more than child immigration; 2. After children get foreigners, they can easily enter top universities in China such as Tsinghua Peking University as foreigners; 3. If parents want to immigrate, they should send their children to master the language first, and finally achieve the goal of family immigration; 4. Foreign high-quality education, so that children have an international vision and international background; 5. The entry threshold for foreign universities is relatively low.

This problem has been quite common in recent years. When family conditions permit, many parents spend a lot of money to send their children to study abroad for gold plating. This is not only the influence of going abroad, but also the helpless choice of parents. Of course, there are also factors that parents want their children to receive better educational resources. Specifically:

The first is the tide of going abroad. With the development of domestic economy, more and more families have the ability to bear the cost of their children studying abroad, and the threshold for studying abroad is getting higher and higher. Many parents have witnessed the children of their relatives and friends studying abroad, and naturally want to send their children abroad to study. Worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries has always been a deep-rooted concept of Chinese people. In their eyes, the sky abroad is blue, the water is clear, the trees are dense, the grass is patches, the air is fresh, and the quality of people is extremely high, which is simply an ideal paradise. This phenomenon has a great market among a large part of parents. In particular, parents who have no experience in going abroad pin their hopes on their children, and they can send their children abroad to study if they have the conditions, but they should also send them if they have no conditions to create conditions.

The second is the helpless choice. Some children in China have really poor grades. Even getting into two books is a problem, and getting into the better three books is difficult. Parents have no choice but to spend high tuition fees to send them abroad. At least they can study abroad and get into a good school. After graduation, they can also get foreign diplomas and find jobs with dignity. Friends and colleagues around me have many examples of children.

The third is to receive better educational resources. The basic conditions of such families are very good, the children's personal qualities are also very high, and parents' expectations for their children are also relatively high. Studying abroad is mainly to receive better educational resources, expecting children to have higher and better development abroad or back home in the future.

In a word, I think we should treat the matter of sending our children to study abroad rationally. After being a blogger in the United States, a younger brother said in a chat that he had just arrived in the United States and felt that the quality of people there was better than that in China. After staying for a period of time, I deeply feel that human nature is the same, and the quality of Americans is just like that. This is the phenomenon of besieged city. People outside want to go in and people inside want to come out.

My friend talked about her children. Her children are studying in Shandong. As we all know, Shandong is a big province for college entrance examination. The children there study very hard. A friend's child has average academic performance, and the child has no self-confidence, so he is asked to send him abroad to attend high school.

My friend couldn't bear the child's request, so he managed to spend a lot of money to send his child abroad to attend high school. As a result, after reading for three years, the child achieved nothing, even failed to learn English well, which is equivalent to reading for three years in vain.

And friends can't accompany their children abroad and bear all kinds of expensive expenses such as children's tuition. Only grandma is with her children abroad, and both husband and wife have to work hard to make money at home. Now I have such a result, but I didn't expect it. I sighed and said, I really don't know if this money is worth it.

This phenomenon is also many. Many parents spend a lot of money to send their children to study abroad, but the results may not be satisfactory.

1. More recognition of foreign education

There is no denying that some high-tech fields are still leading abroad, especially in the field of higher education. It is an indisputable fact that there are many senior and established famous schools. Many people will spend a lot of money to send their children abroad for gold plating, hoping that their children will add more luster to their resumes.

This family is very rich.

The most important prerequisite for spending huge sums of money to send children to study abroad is whether they can afford it. If the family can't even afford to sell iron, I'm afraid all of them will die. Therefore, there are more people who send their children to study abroad in relatively rich areas. Generally speaking, compared with northern cities, the south became rich earlier and there were more wealthy families, so more students went abroad to study.

3. In order to avoid the pressure of college entrance examination competition

The pressure of college entrance examination in China is still quite great. Many children fail to meet their expectations or are in the middle stage. Parents feel that these years have been wasted, and it is better to send them abroad to study directly if they have that economic strength at home. So now the number of small international students is on the rise.

4. Conformity psychology or comparison, good face psychology

Many people have herd mentality in doing things. A friend's child insisted on going abroad in his freshman year. Later, when I understood his thoughts, I realized that he thought all his classmates had gone abroad to study, so he wanted to go.

As parents, I actually have similar thoughts. When they see the children of their neighbors or friends going abroad, they want to send them abroad. They may not consider whether the child likes it, whether it is suitable, whether it is safe or not, whether it can learn, and so on.

5. The needs of family migrants

6. Consider welfare policies and foreign environments such as aviation retirement.

Many families will also consider the problem of providing for the aged in the future, and want to find a country with good air quality, slow pace of life and low housing prices, such as Canada and Australia, to become their dream after retirement. This kind of arrangement in advance costs a lot of tuition, so that children can study in these countries, then settle down there and enjoy the sunshine, beaches and air.

However, on the other hand, China's strength is increasing year by year, with a vast territory and abundant resources. In winter, you can go to Hainan to bask in the sun, and in summer, you can go to cool Harbin or Inner Mongolia prairie, without a visa or passport. There are abundant fruits, pears and peaches all year round, and shopping is also a street. The internet is particularly convenient, which is really beyond those small western countries. Education is also improving and employment opportunities are getting better and better. After many people go abroad for a walk,

One last thing. Those children who think they are not good at studying at home and want to study abroad are often not good at studying abroad, because their study habits, self-discipline, self-control and other abilities will not be learned automatically abroad, and their grades may be worse.

I participated in a study abroad exhibition before, and many foreign universities came here to recruit students, including some immigrants and study abroad institutions. I took a closer look and found that there are primary schools, middle schools and universities in the foreign schools at the exhibition site, and most of them are not famous schools, which is what we commonly call "diploma workshops"!

It is such an exhibition, but many parents participated. At that time, they also gathered in the parents' group, and these four topics were the most discussed by them:

Even all the schools on the scene, including intermediaries, were related to immigration, which shows that the proportion of this reason was very high at that time.

I once asked a parent curiously that she was going to let her primary school children study abroad. She told me, "those children who don't want to emigrate overseas, who come here to participate in the exhibition, can't wait to have the ability to take the exam directly." People who come here have to spend a lot of money to study abroad, ultimately for the right of permanent residence or foreign nationality. "

I think this should be an important reason why most parents send their children abroad to study at high prices.

In fact, in my opinion at that time, it was also very puzzling. What should I do if I go abroad and get foreign nationality? Do parents have to live abroad with their children? Are parents really used to this?

It's the same parent Because my parents are familiar with my family, I also accompanied her to the exhibition. She puzzled me again: "Who said that immigration is to live abroad? Don't you know that the motherland has preferential treatment for foreigners? " Including entering famous schools in China, some laws and regulations, and entrepreneurial support are all very helpful. Thanks to your grandfather or returned overseas Chinese, you should know all this! "

Yes, I do know that the government supports and helps foreigners, especially returned overseas Chinese and their relatives, but in fact these are two different natures. My grandfather is a returned overseas Chinese, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, but these are mainly aimed at Chinese who have returned from overseas, that is, those who have given up their foreign nationality and returned to China, as well as overseas Chinese who have China nationality but have lived abroad for a long time!

What's more, as my grandfather said, what if the government gives more discounts? Finally, you have to rely on those who have the ability and the inability to give you 10 million, and you may not be able to make a name for yourself!

As for the management of foreigners, it is another department, so I don't really know. What are the specific preferential policies? But at least one thing is clear: China has always been friendly to foreigners.

As for most people who give up their China citizenship just for profit, returning to China is not as simple as you think.

I can understand that children want to go abroad to see the world when they go to college, but I really can't figure out why children of a few years old can be sent abroad alone, separated from their parents for a long time, and let them live the life of left-behind children overseas. I think even if the children grow up in the future, there will be an insurmountable gap between them and their parents. Therefore, instead of getting unwarranted "benefits", it is better to find ways to improve your grades and comprehensive ability!

I heard that foreigners can go directly to Peking University without taking exams. Going to Dongda can also provide beautiful women, Bandu and high scholarships. I don't have this ability. If I have the ability, I will send my children abroad. It is better to study hard at a cold window for more than ten years than to have a dead letter. Look at the children now. It is good to get up at six in the morning and finish your homework before nine in the evening. It's hard to go to college so hard, but if you have a piece of paper. You can go not only to college, but also to institutions of higher learning. Who doesn't want to take shortcuts?
