【Chapter 783】 American-style Education (Subscription Requested!)

The implementation of the aid project is not an overnight thing, and the 'Ginkgo Foundation' needs to cooperate closely with Haizhou in order to improve step by step.

For the 'Ginkgo Foundation', doing charity is not just about taking out the money and finishing the work, but also about the implementation, adjustment and even post-event supervision of each project. Whether it is the money of the Xiao family or the money invested by other wealthy people, the 'Ginkgo Foundation' has the obligation to use good steel on the blade, which is the purpose of charity.

You can't always do bad things with good intentions, which will have a great negative impact on the reputation of the 'Ginkgo Foundation'.

Therefore, in the coming period, Xiao Xiao and Benjamin will devote considerable time and energy to the operation of the aid project, and strive to achieve some results within this year.

…………

Xiao Xiao is busy with the implementation of the aid project, and Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, who are on the other side of the ocean, are not idle, they are busy preparing for Nini to go to kindergarten.

Early childhood education in the United States is different from that in China, and the so-called school districts do not exist, but everyone agrees to send their children to the nearest kindergarten to their homes.

Of course, Xiao Feng could send Nini to Helena, 40 miles away from the 'Dream Ranch', where the kindergarten facilities are better, but it is too much trouble to go to school.

After weighing the situation, the couple decided to send Nini to a kindergarten in Palm Town, after all, the gap in early childhood education is not as big as in higher education.

Nini's English doesn't have to worry about Xiao Feng, she was born in the United States, and the language she was most exposed to when she was a child was English, even after returning to China. The locale is also quite strong. Now, Nini's English and French are good, and she even learned a few words of Japanese from Lin Watanabi.

Therefore, Nini's language barrier is not a problem, the key is to find a suitable kindergarten.

"Why does Lao Mei's kindergarten look similar to an amusement park?" Xiao Feng flipped through the colorful promotional materials of several kindergartens in the town. A little doubtful.

In Ginkgo Village Kindergarten, some commonly used words, new words and arithmetic will be taught, but only the kindergarten in the United States is purely a nursery.

"America is like this, the younger the child, the less pressure they are under!" Xu Mengyao was very aware of the educational differences between the United States and Huaxia, and explained to Xiao Feng with a smile.

Before higher education, children in the United States experienced very little stress. There is not as much schoolwork as there are Chinese students, and the school pays more attention to cultivating children's thinking expansion ability and logical ability.

It is normal for middle school students who come to the United States from China to completely crush their American classmates in mathematics, natural sciences and other subjects.

The difference in education between the two countries is not good or bad, after all, both countries are the most competitive opponents on the planet, maybe each has its own right?

A child like Nini who is less than five years old. In the kindergarten, there are more than a dozen people in a class, and the teacher takes the game all day long, takes a nap at noon, and can pick it up in the afternoon.

It is unlikely that kindergartens in the United States will teach children more knowledge.

Don't look at Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao discussed the colorful information for a long time, in the end, it was still up to Nini to choose by herself, Xiao Feng had to take her to each kindergarten one by one. The doll is satisfied.

If you were in China, the child didn't have so much power, but he came to the United States. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's education methods are also gradually moving closer to Western-style practices, and the Chinese-style feudal patriarchal system is no longer suitable.

Therefore, after initially delineating a few ideal goals, Xiao Feng and his wife drove Nini to Palm Town, and let Nini experience the feeling of American kindergarten one by one.

"Kindergartens here in the United States are very demanding, and they need not only state approval and licensing. And teachers have to undergo strict training and assessment before they can take up their posts!" Xu Mengyao is still very familiar with many situations because she has studied in the United States for five years. Xiang Xiao Feng introduced: "In addition to strict legal restrictions, kindergartens in the United States are also subject to the supervision of various departments. Even ordinary employees who work in kindergartens have to undergo a criminal record check, and once they have some bad records, they can't go to work!"

Under Xu Mengyao's explanation, Xiao Feng found that the kindergarten system in the United States is quite strict, which is in stark contrast to China China.

Over the years, with the deepening of the industrialization of education, private kindergartens have sprung up in the country, and a house, two or three grass terrace teams can open kindergartens in some rural areas. These kindergartens without professional qualifications often have many hidden dangers, and there are often various negative reports in the news.

Fortunately, because of the huge financial support of the 'Jinghu Group', the 'Ginkgo Kindergarten' is one of the best in southern Yunnan Province in terms of infrastructure and software conditions.

In recent years, many domestic industries have looked to money, which has not only given it strong vitality, but also brought many hidden dangers.

However, Lao Mei here still adheres to strict standards in many details, although it is a little old-fashioned, but it can be reassuring.

The longer he stayed in the United States, the more Xiao Feng was able to find the difference between the two countries, perhaps, this is the difference in national conditions.

Kindergartens in China basically draw all kinds of cartoons on the walls and houses, and they can't wait to identify themselves with everyone who passes by.

But in the United States, there is not much difference between the kindergarten and the surrounding houses, and if it weren't for the white railings in the yard with slides, trampolines, and other toys, you really wouldn't be able to see it.

When he arrived at the kindergarten, the principal took Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao around to visit, and Xiao Feng was still quite satisfied with the facilities inside, especially when he noticed a detail, all the toys were made of environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials, and the places that were easy to rub were also covered with soft rubber.

As for Xu Mengyao, she pays more attention to the qualifications and level of kindergarten teachers, and has been communicating with those teachers.

As for Nini, she quickly integrated into the kindergarten children, and played with the little pot friends by herself, which made Xiao Feng not worry about her integration.

Actually, in many cases. It's all because we adults think about children's problems too complicated, and how many problems can children who are not yet five years old take into account? For them, as long as they can have fun, as for each other's family background, skin color is not in the scope of children's consideration.

I like it here. The software and hardware of this kindergarten are not bad, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao did not hesitate too much, and decided to let Nini enter this 'Katie Kindergarten'!

There is a well-known tradition of naming businesses, schools, etc., in the United States, often after the founder or a person who has made a significant contribution. The same is true of this 'Katie Kindergarten', which is said to be the name of the first principal, who founded it 60 years ago. In the end, the name has been carried on ever since.

After the decision was made, Xiao Feng signed an enrollment agreement with the current principal, Ms. Aurora, and Xiao Feng also wrote a check, $300 a week, plus meals and various expenses.

Count it out. The kindergarten here in Laomei is not cheap, almost 8000rmb a month, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Afterwards, Xiao Feng learned that 'Katie Kindergarten' is one of the best kindergartens in Palm Town and even the whole Helena, and the fees are naturally much higher than ordinary kindergartens. In other kindergartens in Palm Town, the cost is less than three or four hundred dollars a month, which ordinary salarymen and even cowboys can afford.

After signing the agreement, Ms. Aurora also confirmed with Xiao Feng the issue of Nini's transportation to school. The kindergarten has a school bus for pick-up and drop-off, and the child only needs to wait at the door at the designated time.

However, because it was too late to enter Nini's information into the school bus system today, Xiao Feng would have to send Nini to the kindergarten first tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be fine.

When she left the kindergarten, Nini was still a little reluctant, it seemed that she still liked this kindergarten, which made Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's hearts half relieved.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Xiao Feng sent Nini to 'Katie Kindergarten' on time, and the bulky yellow school bus also arrived at the same time. A group of small radish heads suddenly made the whole kindergarten lively.

watched Nini enter the kindergarten easily, and did not forget to wave her hand and say goodbye to herself. Xiao Feng didn't stay outside the kindergarten and drove away.

It's rare to come to town. Xiao Feng first went to the gun shop to play, and after enjoying himself, he added some ammunition to the family, after all, his father has recently become obsessed with target shooting, and he consumes a lot of ammunition every day.

Back at home, Xiao Feng found that his parents were a little restless, and after asking, he learned that the two old people were a little worried that Nini was not comfortable going to Lao Mei's kindergarten for the first time.

The love between her father and mother also made Xu Mengyao a little nervous, she looked at her watch frequently, and she couldn't wait to pick up the child immediately, don't look at Xu Mengyao's appearance as a strong woman in the 'Jinghu Group', but in the final analysis, she is still a mother.

"Don't worry too much, if there's any problem, Ms. Aurora will call us!" Xiao Feng was also a little crying and laughing, these guys were concerned and messy.

Xiao Feng's words also played a big role, and the lunch was a little more stable, but it was only a little.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the three guys urged Xiao Feng to open the GMC at home and go to the kindergarten to pick up Nini!

The appearance of my father and mother is still excusable, and Xu Mengyao is a little bit of a loss, which also makes Xiao Feng shake his head, so he can only go to the garage to drive silently.

For the sparsely populated western United States, 10 miles is a short distance, and there are not many cars on the roads in excellent condition, Xiao Feng only took 20 minutes to reach the palm town.

My parents were afraid that Nini would be hungry in the kindergarten, so they also brought a small snack made by Aunt Maria and fresh milk from the pasture, and Xiao Feng shook his head.

At four o'clock, the kindergarten opened, and the other children would take the school bus home as usual today, except for Nini, who walked out under the guidance of Ms. Aurora.

"Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma!" The little guy's eyes narrowed when he saw so many people coming to pick her up!

"Ms. Aurora, thank you for your hard work!" Xu Mengyao took Nini from Aurora's hand and thanked her.

"Nini's table is very good, very caring, and enthusiastic!" Aurora is also very fond of Nini, the smile on her face has not been broken, and said: "Nini's table xiàn and Jian yì I have written them in the feedback book, you can just look back!"

At first, when she heard that the young rich man of 'Dream Ranch' was going to send her child to 'Katie Kindergarten', Aurora was still a little worried, but Nini's language ability and other aspects of the performance made her shine.

From Nini's usual words and deeds, it can be seen that the family education she received is not bad, which shows that the Xiao family is not the kind of nouveau riche with a shallow background.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Ms. Aurora, the family said goodbye to her, and the family left Palm Town in a low-key and luxurious MGC to return to the 'Dream Ranch'.

After returning to the ranch, Nini, who had not been able to play with her ponies for a day, asked her grandfather to take her and her younger brother to the stable to ride horses, while Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao opened the school's feedback book.

is not what Xiao Feng imagined, the feedback from American kindergartens is not like the domestic one, which puts forward various homework requirements for children, but hopes that parents will increase their care for their children in some details, such as telling stories to children every night, reducing the time for children to watch TV alone, and spending as much time as possible with children.

Compared with the domestic table that pays more attention to schoolwork, kindergartens in the United States are more based on care and love, so that children's childhood becomes happier and psychologically healthier.

"Husband, the task of telling stories to the children will be handed over to you in the future!" After reading the opinion book, Xu Mengyao gave Xiao Feng a task.

In fact, this matter has always been done by Xiao Feng, but it was not very stable before, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

Now, with the kindergarten making clear requirements, Xiao Feng has to treat it as a job that must be done every day, and read at least half an hour of storybooks to the children every day in the future.

"No problem!" Xiao Feng did not have any objection to this.

Compared with going to rich and star-studded parties, Xiao Feng prefers to stay at home with his family, and his attributes as an otaku will not change because of the explosion of wealth.

The couple talked for a long time about Nini's education, and always hoped that the child could grow up in a relaxed and happy atmosphere without too much pressure.

If it were Xiao Feng a few years ago, he would naturally not have such delicate thoughts and patience, but after becoming a parent, he suddenly matured.

At this time, Xiao Feng remembered his childhood, presumably at that time, his parents made many hard efforts that he didn't know in order to get a better education and live a better life.

'Raising a child is the only way to know the kindness of parents', this old saying is not bad at all!

ps:ps: I went to ride during the day today, and I owe 2000 to the folks, and I will make up a big chapter another day, thank you!R466
