The U.S. education system has various flaws, but starting from the third grade, children are taught that the country has a constitution, that they are citizens of the nation, and what rights and obligations they have. In contrast, China's education teaches children how to be grateful to the Party and even tells them that it is the Party that provides for their families. When the interests of the Party conflict with family interests, they are told to choose the Party. As a result, children brought up this way are unfamiliar with concepts like citizens and taxpayers. When they encounter difficulties in life, they often blame the United States for oppressing us. Therefore, if there's a choice, I'd certainly choose the US education system.

My kid has the same situation. He doesn't hold the Chinese citizenship. But fortunately we apply the Chinese Green Card or PR for him at the last moment of his first year primary school enrollment. At first he was allocate to a very far away primary school. But we went to the education office, and they change the decision and allocate my son to a good primary school which near my home. The education office told us this was the first time they change the allocation decision, and also my kid is the first pr in my district in Guangzhou. I felt so lucky.

It’s funny, I was born in the Houston metro area. Growing up my parents moved us to northern Wyoming and I always wished growing up I could have gone to school in Houston. Fast forward to an adult, I’m SO glad my parents made that choice. I was so privileged to go to school in Wyoming, schools were well funded education was above standard, safe, great gpa. Houston has some of the worst grading and safety levels in the nation which is why most try to go private here. In America if you’re in a city where most choose private, it speaks volumes about the districts you live in.

@davepruitt Ай бұрын

We have a little 3 year old right now. My wife has been thinking about doing one of the options that you considered - basically going to China for a couple of years right around 1st grade or so to help solidify his Mandarin. But we haven't yet made a final decision on doing that. Right now we live in Utah, and a lot of the schools here also have Chinese language immersion - so that's another option we are considering. When I was growing up in Texas there was about 1 or 2 years in which my elementary school did a "year-round" schedule, and we really loved it as well. It worked essentially the same as how you described it in your video.

@albertafu3971 Ай бұрын

Very good video clip. I think you definitely made the right choice for 小麦。I’m a doctoral degree background, and worked in mncs 20 years, my daughter is Chinese American mixture too, I 100% agree that those expensive schools have no values, the only value is your kid can make rich family friends. In the way of academic or basic study, it’s not needed to be too expensive for education, it’s actually bad for young children between 3-15 years old. At the end of the day, overall kindergarten, primary school and high schools. The total knowledge and practices are not much, it does not needed to spend too much money in schooling. As parents we should save more funding for kids from 14-24 years old when they go to higher education, and funding for their work start ups after university.

@sebastiano.6010 Ай бұрын

Totally understand your way of thinking. Right now my daughter (4yo) is in a private kindergarten with mostly Chinese kids. She would also have problems to get into public school in Shanghai. For us as well paying for international school would not be an option considering that our daughter could enter any public school in the EU with ease. Hence, when school time comes, we also are considering a move back to the EU.

@meiyang3185 Ай бұрын

Germans are generally not in favour of private schools, in their opinion educations should be absolutely fair and basic education should be free so that all children can get education, that's why there are private schools, but they are not so popular. My son went to kindergarten in China when he was 5, but after one day he refused to go, the reason was that the classroom was not like a living room like in German kindergartens, and the children had to sleep at noon, they had to sit in a circle and sing and read, and they had ‘have to’ too much.

我女儿（爸爸美国人）出生在上海，5岁到美国乔治亚州北部小镇入学，整个小学charter school体验都是不错的，快乐教育，德智体美，老师和蔼可亲，学校和家长沟通顺畅。但自从开始上中学public school，我们就发现有各种问题，公立学校的老师根本就不在乎学生，没有回家作业，理由是大部分学生不理会作业，所以学校决定取消。只要完成课堂作业，不管质量如何，所有学生都拿A。校园杂草丛生，教学楼脏乱不堪，英文老师一些简单的拼写都不会，招生办的老师公认撒谎，学生染着各种五颜六色的头发，还有男生化妆等等。。这是一家评级A，打分8/10的公立学校，学校重点放在应付各种联邦或州的统考。我们无法忍受，两周后就把孩子转去私立学校，并打算一路读到12年纪。这就是美国公共教育的现状，我们的亲历。

We are in Texas, at one of the best ISDs in the metroplex. Great schools from elementary to high school. Excellent teachers and great students. My kid is an 8th grader, they get 30mins free time at school to finish any homework for the day so they can focus on extracurricular activities after school. There are lots of clubs, sports, music and field trips to keep them busy, kids often have to arrive early or stay late after school for practice. He spends most time on other "homework" like tennis matches, robotics and orchestra competitions, volunteer works-- all required by the school.

美国基本能普遍保证幼儿园和小学阶段孩子的优质的人性化教育，从中学开始会出现很多问题和挑战，对于一个体积巨大繁杂的移民国家来说这已经是一种不错的分层了。因为人类在幼年和童年时的理性成分很少，所以他们接受到的环境影响会直接写入大脑最底层部分，很难通过后来的理性认知调整，因此保证孩子幼儿和童年时期的高质量人性化对待，将稳固其情感基本盘--即这个世界是欢迎他的是接纳他的是允许他舒展自己的意志的。到了青少年时期，理性部分开始逐渐抬头，这个时期受到的更多的是理性认知的影响，既然是理性的影响，那么就可以通过其它的理性认知来调整。因此如果不得不做出选择，应该优先大面积保证幼儿和童年时期的优质的人性化教育。
