家长们,你们是否有很多问号?
到底是选择口碑好的学校,还是选择离家里近的学校?
公立还是民办?
国际学校好不好?

为孩子选择适合的学校一直是家长困扰的问题,既然说到了择校,那么我们必须得充分了解了众多选择,是让孩子读国际学校将来出国留学,还是让孩子读普通学校,接受应试教育,许多家长还处于摇摆不定、选择困难之中。这时候,最好的办法就是回归问题根源,试问自己:为什么一定要去国际学校?
It has always been a problem for parents to choose the right school for their children. Since it comes to school selection,we should fully understand various choices,whether to let children go to international schools and then study abroad in the future,or to let children go to ordinary schools to receive examination-oriented education. Many parents find it difficult to make a choice. At this time,it is the best to return to the root of the problem and ask yourself why international school is a must-do choice.
真正理想的教育并不是孩子取得什么样的成就,而是在教育过程中孩子成长为健全的人格,健康的身心。获取适合他个性发展的同时,也能适应现代发展的知识、能力和素养,是真正能够激发他的内在动力和潜能。
The real ideal education is not what kind of achievements children have made,but in the process of education,children grow up with a sound personality,healthy body and mind. What really stimulates his internal motivation and potential serves as to acquire the knowledge,ability and accomplishment suitable for the modern development during his personality development.
区别于其他高中的是,国际高中实施的是“无痕德育“的方式,这是一个“润物细无声”的过程,可以悄悄渗透在任何教学活动甚至是日常生活中。每届新生入学前参加的国际领袖锻造营,这就能更多地让孩子感受到领袖人物的付出和牺牲,感受到牛津剑桥式的贵族精神是一种肯为他人付出和牺牲的可贵精神,这为他们日后的人生成功打下了至关重要的坚实基础。
Different from other high schools,the international high school implement the non-trace moral education,a process of moistening things silently,which could quietly penetrate into any teaching activities or even dAIly life. New students every year will participate in the international leader forging camp before entering school. It will let the children feel more about the leader's sacrifice and be aware of the valuable spirit which is willing to pay and sacrifice for others in Oxford and Cambridge. It lays a crucial and solid foundation for their future success in life.
再从就业上来说,根据Boss直聘的数据发现,与同龄应届生相比,海归相对收入偏高,薪资优势明显:2017年,海归应届生获得的平均薪资比国内同等学历的应届生平均高出17.2%。在高薪人群比例方面,海归优势更为显著。2017年,有26.3%的海归毕业后在国内首份工作薪资在1万元以上,较本土应届生高出2倍,有4.2%的留学生首份工作薪资突破2万元,较国内比例高出3倍。”
In terms of employment,according to Boss Zhipin,the relative income of the returnee is higher and the salary advantages are obvious compared with the same age fresh graduates.In 2017,the average salary of overseas returnees was 17.2% higher than that of domestic students with the same degree. In terms of the proportion of high-pAId people,returnees have a more significant advantage. In 2017,26.3% of overseas returnees earned more than 10000 yuan for their first job in China after graduation,two times higher than the local students,and 4.2% of overseas students earned more than 20000 yuan for their first job,three times higher than the domestic proportion.
这样看来,绝大部分海归都很认可留学的价值,不管是在薪资方面还是在晋升方面,海归相对仍有优势。但是是不是要去留学,性价比仅仅是一个考虑方面,还是得看孩子的性格是否合适以及家庭计划。
Therefore,the vast majority of returnees recognize the value of studying abroad,and they still have advantages in terms of salary and promotion. However,whether to study abroad or not,cost-effectiveness is only a consideration,we should consider the personality of children as well as the family planning.
升学率才是第一要义,弯道超车是否有效?
我们从升学率的角度看,体制内风险更大。就算勉强上了重点高中,可能只能考一个普通的国内一本、二本院校;那么还有很多只能考上普通高中的孩子,升学之路又在哪里?
From the perspective of enrollment rate,the risk in the system is greater. Even if the child is admitted to a key high school,he/she may only be admitted to the first or second tier universities. And what about other children who could only enter ordinary high school?
教育部近期公布了2020年高考为防控新冠肺炎疫情的需求而延迟一个月举行。并且公布了今年参加高考考生人数为1071万,与2019年的1031万比,增加了40万人。高考是人生中的一大转折点,有人说,只有经历了高考的独木桥,我们才能顺利走向知识的高等学府。也有人反思,中国的应试教育给学生太多的负担,中国学生常常被课业压的喘不过气,填鸭式教学在本质上就不适合一些孩子的成长。可是由于大背景如此,我们没有办法改变国情现状,但是我们可以改变自己的未来,未来是把握在自己手中的。
Recently,Department of Education has announced that 2020 National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is postponed for a month due to COVID-19. There are 10.71 million candidates this year,an increase of 400,000 compared with 10.31 million in 2019. NCEE is a turning point in our life. It is sAId that only through the unique bridge of NCEE can we move smoothly to the higher institutions of knowledge. It is also reflected that the exam-oriented education in China has put too much burden on students. Chinese students are often overwhelmed by the pressure of their schoolwork. Cramming teaching is not suitable for the growth of some children in essence. But because of the background,we have no way to change the current situation,but we can change our future,which is in our hands.
回想一下我们的中学时代,是不是每个人都想进入一所优秀的高中?因为一所优秀的高中意味着,我们能离梦想中的大学近一些。另一方面来看,高中也只是下一个阶段的开始,它并不是结束。
Looking back on our high school days,does everyone want to enter an excellent high school? Since a good high school means that we can get closer to our dream university. On the other hand,high school is just the beginning of the next stage,it is not the end.
是不是每个人都想考取我们国家的“985、211”院校?因为一所好的大学意味着,强大的师资、优秀的教学资源、优美的校园环境。只有这样,我们的人生之路或许才能走的顺畅一些。
Does everyone want to be admitted to the Project 985 or 211 universities in our country? Since a good university means excellent teachers,great teaching resources and beautiful campus. Only in this way,we are likely to have a favorable life.
我们先来看看一则数据:
Let’stakealookatonepieceofdata:
2019年全国高考人数1031万,回顾一下2019年全国考生录取率:一本录取率仅为6%,也就是说,不管能考上什么样的一本学校,都已经是16选1的精英了;211院校的录取率为2.41%,这些考生已经是40选1的超级精英了;985院校录取率仅为0.79%,也就是说,考上985高校实际上是战胜了99%的同龄人;清北录取率低至0.03%,考上这两所中国TOP2高校的考生,万里挑三,可谓天之骄子了。
In 2019,there were 10.3 million candidates for NCEE. According to the enrollment rate last year,only 6% of candidates were admitted to the first tier universities. That is to say,no matter what kind of the first tier university was,the candidate was the elite,1 out of 16. The admission rate of 211 project universities was 2.41%,and the candidate was the super elite of 1 out of 40. The rate of 985 Project universities was only 0.79%,thus the candidates have defeated 99% of its peers. And that of Tsinghua University and Peking University was as low as 0.03%. The candidates of the top 2 universities in China are the most favored.
江西山清水秀、人杰地灵,自古以来才子辈出。共有进士10495名,占全国的10.99%;有状元41名。文学、艺术、史学、科技大师辈出,有如夏夜星空灿烂、光耀夺目。陶渊明、欧阳修、王安石、晏殊、黄庭坚、杨万里、文天祥、汤显祖、陈寅恪、傅抱石……数不胜数,一位又一位的文化巨擘,撑起了中国优秀传统文化的半壁江山。
Jiangxi Province possesses beautiful scenery and outstanding people,as well as a large number of talented people since ancient times. There are 10,495 Jìnshì(a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) from Jiangxi,accounting for 10.99% in the whole country,and 41 Number One Scholars (title conferred on the one who came first in the highest imperial examination). Numerous masters of literature,art,history,science and technology are like stars shining and dazzling in summer night,such as Tao Yuanming,Ouyang Xiu,Wang Anshi,Yan Shu,Huang Tingjian,Yang Wanli,Wen Tianxiang,Tang Xianzu,Chen Yinke,Fu Baoshi and so on. Countless cultural giants support half of China's excellent traditional culture one after another.
就现在而言,真正的能给到江西学子的升学资源十分稀缺,机会甚少,在江西的我们可能要花费几倍的精力,才能和生源地在北上广的学子同台竞技。事实就是,我们并不缺乏认真苦读的孩子,可是为什么江西的重点高校录取率依然不高?
However,the real resources for Jiangxi students to enter the university are very scarce at present. Opportunities are few,so it may take us several times as much energy in Jiangxi to compete with the students from Beijing,ShanghAI and Guangzhou. The fact is that we have many children who study hard,but why the admission rate of key universities in Jiangxi is still low?
再来看一则数据,2019年江西的高考人数是42.1万,全国高考人数排第10名,一本录取率10.4%,211院校录取率6.46%,985院校录取率1.55%,而江西考生考入清华北大的比例约为0.05%。由此江西高考的竞争激烈程度可见一斑。
Let’s have a look at another piece of date. In 2019,there were 421,000 NCEE candidates in Jiangxi,ranking 10th nationwide,with the admission rate of 10.4% for the first tier university,6.46% for 211 Project university,1.55% for 985 Project university,and about 0.05% for Tsinghua University and Peking University. Therefore,the NCEE is fiercely competitive among Jiangxi students
孩子能从国际教育中得到什么?
清华大学的校训是“自强不息,厚德载物”,北京大学的校训是“思想自由,兼容并包”,这俨然已经成为这两所学校的“魂”,代代相传,熠熠生辉,感召着所有的师生甚至全国人民。
The motto of Tsinghua University is Self-Discipline and Social Commitment,and that of Peking University is Freedom of thought and all inclusive. They are the soul of the two universities,and are remembered by generations. The motto is shining and inspiring all teachers and students,and even the whole nation.
那么作为一所国际学校,我们也是有自己的“魂”,天行秉承着“办中国一流国际学校”的办学目标,培养具有A(ambitious雄心壮志)、B(bold勇敢无畏)、C(caring乐于助人)、D(devoted奉献精神)、E(erudite博学多识)这五种特质的学生。
As an international school,Teensen also has its own soul. Teensen adheres to the goal of running a first-class international school in China,and cultivates students with five characteristics,ABCDE (A for ambitious,B for bold,C for caring,D for devoted,and E for erudite).
由于天行采用的是小班教学,一个班不会超过20个人,师生配比1:4。老师能及时关注到每个学生的变化,每一天的学习情况都会及时反馈并与家长进行沟通。一旦发现学生没有跟上的情况,老师会进行一对一的全程辅导。以教学为主体,officetime为辅,帮助学生解决个别知识点的问题。对基础弱的学生,夯实基础;基础好的学生,提高难度。最好的实现学生的个性化学习。
As Teensen adopts small-class teaching with the ratio of teachers and students 1:4,no more than 20 students in a class. Teachers could pay attention to the changes of each student in time,and feedback and communicate with parents every day. Once it is found that the students do not keep up with the class,the teacher will give one-to-one guidance. In Teensen,we take the class as the mAIn part and office time as the auxiliary,in order to help students solve the questions. For students with weak foundation,we consolidate the foundation. And for students with good foundation,we improve the difficulty. We try the best way to achieve personalized learning.
同时,每位学生都拥有独家定制的属于自己的课表,能够让充分发挥学习优势,很多学生在初中开始就渐渐偏科,在国际教育里面,偏科不一定是一件坏事,我们很多人都知道“木桶原理”,然而,其实还有一个相反的理论叫做“长板效应”。木桶能装多少水,完全是由短板决定的吗?未必!有时候,发挥了长处才能达到更好。国际教育的理念,就是让学生的长处发挥到极致,并且能合理的运用长处。并结合个人的喜好来进行选课。为此,无论是喜欢理科还是文科,在天行均能够找到自己喜欢且适合的课程,最终取得很好的学习成绩,申请到世界名校。
At the same time,each student has its own curriculum,which can give full play to his learning advantages. Many students tend to go overboard on one or some subjects in junior school. In international education,it is not a bad thing sometimes. Many of us know the barrel principle. However,there is actually an opposite theory,long board effect. How much water can a barrel hold is entirely determined by the short board? Not necessarily! Sometimes,it is better to develop your advantages. The concept of international education is to maximize one’s talents in a reasonable way and arrange the courses with personal preferences. Therefore,whether you like science or liberal arts,you can find a course that you like and suitable for in Teensen. Finally,you will get a good academic performance and manage to famous universities in the world.
根据天行目前的录取数据表明,高考能考取一本的学生,通过三年在天行的学习,极有可能被全球排名前50的大学录取(清华、北大2020U.S.News世界大学排名分别为36和59);相当一部分高考能考取二本院校的孩子,通过三年在天行的学习,极有可能被全球排名前100的大学录取(复旦大学2020U.S.News世界大学排名为171)。
According to the current admission data in Teensen,students who are able to be admitted by the first tier universities in the university entrance exam can basically be admitted by top 50 universities in the world through three years of study in Teensen. (According to 2020 U.S.News,Tsinghua University ranks 36 and Peking University ranks 59.) Students who are able to be admitted by the second tier universities in the university entrance exam can basically be admitted by top 100 universities in the world through three years of study in Teensen. (According to 2020 U.S.News,Fudan University ranks 171.)
在这样一个特殊时期,是家长少有的能静下心来仔细思考的时间。择校是一个双向选择,再回到教育的本质,其实不就是那句简单的,“让每一个孩子成为更好的自己”吗?
In such a special period,it is a rare time for parents to calm down and think carefully. School selection is a two-way choice. When we go back to the essence of education,it is actually the simple sentence,to let every child become a better self,isn’t it?
选择天行,未来可期。
Teensenpromisesyouabrightfuture.
