As a special educational institution, international schools have unique advantages in cultivating students' international literacy and diversified thinking. However, with the news that "my daughter was taken to an international school and was broken", it attracted public attention and thinking. In this article, we will examine the pros and cons of international schooling, as well as the relationship between parents and schools, and the impact of the educational environment on students' physical and mental development.
The International School is characterized by providing an international curriculum, a multicultural Xi environment and all-English teaching, aiming to provide a more comprehensive cultivation of students' comprehensive literacy and cross-cultural communication. At the same time, however, the relatively high tuition fees of international schools make them an option for a relatively small group of people. Parents often need to have the strength and financial resources to afford the higher tuition fees of these schools and the expenses of studying abroad in the future.
The reason for the high tuition fees of international schools is that they provide world-class educational resources and services. In addition to the advantages of faculty and curriculum, international schools often have state-of-the-art educational facilities and Xi resources, such as libraries, laboratories, art studios, etc. These high-standard facilities and resources provide students with a better educational experience. In addition, international schools usually organize students to participate in international exchange activities and summer camps to enhance students' cross-cultural communication skills and global perspective.
However, in the face of high tuition fees, parents need to seriously consider their financial strength and the actual needs of their children. Some families may struggle to provide their children with better educational opportunities, but others may give up on choosing an international school due to financial pressures. Therefore, choosing an international school is not an easy task, and parents need to make comprehensive trade-offs in many aspects such as economics, academics and life.
Parents whose daughter attends an international school were initially delighted that their child had a broader international perspective and was developing multilingualism. The international environment and multicultural education of international schools do provide great opportunities for children to grow. However, as the parents revealed that their daughter had been taken to the international school, it raised public questions about the international school.
Parents expect their children to develop intercultural skills, English proficiency and an international mindset in an environment where their children are able to develop intercultural skills, English language skills, and an international mindset. They often use international schools as a shortcut to improve their children's overall quality and future development. However, when seeing their daughters gradually change and assimilate in this environment, parents begin to feel confused and worried.
The environment of an international school can have a positive or negative impact on the physical and mental development of students due to its international nature and the intersection of multiple cultures. In this example, the daughter was negatively influenced by her classmates and gradually pursued morbid aesthetic standards.
In an international school environment, students are often faced with the challenges and opportunities of intercultural communication. They are exposed to classmates from different countries and cultures, and have the opportunity to learn Xi and respect different values and mindsets. This multicultural exchange allows students to broaden their horizons and develop cross-cultural communication and cooperation skills.
However, there are also some negative effects of the international school environment. Some students may pursue their external image and aesthetic standards too much, put unnecessary pressure on their own bodies, and even adopt unhealthy methods. To a certain extent, this reflects the existence of students' pursuit of beauty and social pressure.
Faced with the negative impact on their daughters, parents must understand the root cause of the problem and take appropriate measures to address it. In this example, the daughter's gradual assimilation is due to her desire for the active closeness of her peers and her fear of isolation. After a long talk with their daughter, parents promise to have an equal dialogue and guide their children's ideas correctly. At the same time, considering the current situation of their daughter, parents are already considering changing the environment for their children to avoid the continuous development of negative influences.
International schools do not guarantee that every student will become a top student in an instant, and natural Xi learning ability and individual differences still exist in this environment. Students and parents may feel academic pressure and make up classes out of concern about filling gaps in subject knowledge. Therefore, parents need to have a correct understanding of international schools and avoid having too idealistic illusions about schools and children.
As a special educational institution, international schools have unique advantages in cultivating students' international literacy and diversified thinking. However, while enjoying the advantages of international schooling, parents should also recognize the impact of the international school environment on their students' physical and mental development, and actively guide their children to cope with the challenges. At the same time, parents also need to take a correct view of the advantages and disadvantages of international schools, as well as their own financial strength and the actual needs of their children, and make comprehensive trade-offs and decisions.
