Chapter 355: PEASE's Pressure

(Part of the international school content in this chapter is because I had dinner and talked a lot with a friend who came back from studying abroad a few days ago, and I felt it for a while, so if you don't like to read it, you can skip to the next chapter directly, and it will not affect your reading.) )

"As for me, I may have been spoiled a little too much when I was a child, I had a bad temper when I was a child, I liked to bully others in school, and I couldn't learn what I was taught in class, so I just couldn't sit still." PEASE'S EYES DARKENED, AND SAID, "BECAUSE OF A FEW FIGHTS, MY FATHER HELPED ME FIND A LOT OF RELATIONSHIPS, AND TRANSFERRED SEVERAL TIMES, EACH TIME I WENT TO THE BEST SCHOOL, ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY IN CLASS, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY A TUTOR SINCE I WAS A CHILD, AND MY ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IS STILL VERY GOOD, BECAUSE I AM AN ONLY CHILD, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TREATED AS A LITTLE EMPEROR AT HOME, EVERY TIME I HAVE A FAMILY GATHERING, I WILL BE BLOWN TO THE SKY BY MY FATHER, AND EVERYONE REGARDS ME AS THE BEST CHILD, I feel very uncomfortable. When I was in elementary school, it was nothing, but when I got to junior high school, my grades couldn't keep up, and the problem of not listening to classes made me fall directly to the bottom of the class, and my relatives began to slowly disappoint me, only my father was still supporting me and encouraging me, and I was really stressed. When I think about all the things that the old guys are nagging about every day, I can't learn at all. ”

"There are more and more courses pulled down, but when I slowly become sensible, it is too late, and I can't understand the class at all, so it is estimated that there is no point in going on like this, so when I was in high school. I gave up the high school entrance examination, tired of the domestic exam-oriented education system, and longed for the foreign education system recommended by everyone. My father helped me transfer to an international school. "Most of the international schools in China are the kind of test-oriented education schools in the name of international schools, and Chinese teachers teach English and mathematics in English, with Chinese in English, which is convenient for teaching and easy for students to understand." Those minor subjects that are not important are taught by foreign teachers. The content of the class is similar to that of a cram school, and compared with ordinary high school, the pressure is only greater, not less. In fact, this is understandable. After all, the most important thing in a school is the promotion rate and the quality of teaching. If students fail to integrate into pure foreign education, the admission rate and teaching quality will be very poor, so the wise Chinese teachers have developed an international school that is educationalized for the exam, and the SAT test, which tests students' comprehensive ability, is regarded as the college entrance examination. Attack each test center. To put it simply. Didn't learn much about real knowledge. I've been learning how to take the SAT. ”

Hearing this, Liu Songnian was stunned for a moment, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Since it is an international school. Why do we still need to use the teaching system of exam-oriented education?

"It's rote memorization, but compared with ordinary high schools, English teaching is more important, and the amount of words memorized every day is very high, because if Chinese want to go to American universities, they must have TOEFL and SAT test scores, TOEFL is an English test only for Chinese, testing the English level of Chinese, and SAT is equivalent to the American college entrance examination." "Although the TOEFL and SAT have high requirements for English, in fact, the content of mathematics and science in foreign high schools is very shallow, and most of the content has been taught in junior high schools in China, so most of the three years of high school in such schools are helping to tutor in English, and then the secondary courses are taught by foreign teachers to slightly improve students' listening and speaking." ”

"Because foreign teaching tests students' all-round comprehensive ability, SAT test scores can only be regarded as part of the evaluation criteria for applying to universities, and your enthusiasm in class, attendance, and homework completion rate in the three years of high school, as well as the results of the usual tests will be counted in the grading criteria. Of course, even if you have good grades in all aspects, if your oral communication skills are too poor, you will fall through the interview. THEORETICALLY, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE THE TOEFL AND SAT EXAMS, THEY ARE OFTEN ABLE TO COMPLETE THE SAT IN THE SECOND YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, AND THE REMAINING YEAR IS TO TAKE AP COURSES, THAT IS, COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSES, WHICH CAN INCREASE CREDITS WHEN APPLYING FOR COLLEGE. ”

"That is why, when enrolling, they will generally pat their chests to ensure that they can enter the top 100 universities in the world or something, but students who come out like this will be difficult to survive in foreign countries, because the real foreign classroom is very active, and students who can only take notes and exams will not survive at all, whether it is the United States or other foreign countries, the number of people in each class is very small, about 20, and then the classroom of each class is different, there is no fixed classroom, every class has to run around, and there is no lunch break, THERE IS ONLY A BREAK FOR LUNCHHOUR (ONE HOUR AT NOON). However, school is often released early, some are released at 3:30, and some are released at 4:30, which is much earlier than in China. "Most Chinese students go abroad, and they often want to speak after thinking about all the answers in class, which has an amazing effect of not saying anything, but they never have the opportunity, because they don't think too much abroad, and they will say any ideas and questions directly. Teachers will have students more likely to engage in group discussions. There will be no complicated homework, most of which are creative homework, and the questions are questions that require students to think independently and have no hard answers. ”

"I used to study British A-Level and IGCSE courses in international schools, but British education is still more similar to domestic exam-oriented education, and it is very similar in all aspects, so there are so many international schools with British education in China, but I don't like the relatively rigid environment. But after I switched to an international school with a real American atmosphere, instead of the Chinese school in the skin of an international school, I still couldn't learn. "Of course, I entered a real international school, but without a little Chinese education in English, it is still difficult for me to understand, although I know that once I integrate, it will be very beneficial for me to rely on foreign universities in the future, whether it is listening or speaking." But eventually, probably because of the pressure, I started to give up on myself and become addicted to the game world. I finally chose to drop out of school, I was addicted to LOL at the time, and I only wanted to be a king and play professionally, but I finally did it, and entered AS with my personal ability. ”
