Studying in the United States is dangerous: daily challenges, dropouts spread 1.2 million! I look forward to returning to China to study!
Knowledge sharing across borders, in order to maintain a leading position in the field of global education, the United States has many well-known universities, such as Harvard, MIT, etc. In order to successfully get into top universities in the United States, many students choose to continue their education in the United States from high school. While it's a common belief that U.S. schools focus on nurturing students' minds, it was surprising that a Chinese student in high school in the U.S. shared his personal experience.
High school life in the United States, where high school life is stressful every day, is a terrifying life for students. ** incidents occur frequently in the school, and the constant sound of sirens makes every student scared. In March, a high school student attacked two teachers at gunpoint. Many students are terrified and worried about whether they will be the next victims, so they can only organize demonstrations to express their fears.
The problem of racial discrimination in schools is even more jaw-dropping, and students often make fun of each other and even be bullied because of their skin color, appearance, etc. Some black students were the focus of discrimination in school, being ridiculed by white teachers and classmates. According to statistics, a large number of high school students choose to drop out of school every year, and the number even exceeds 1.2 million.
Students who aspire to return to their home countries but are stuck in studying in the U.S. are eager to return to their home countries to study, but are deterred by the cumbersome formalities and unmatched quality of teaching. Although international students enjoy a high standard of living in the United States, they have difficulty adapting to the American lifestyle and lack a sense of security in life. Many students feel uncomfortable with an overly liberal environment and want to be able to return to their home countries and rediscover their rhythm in life.
However, returning to China to study is not an easy task, and many students have moved to the United States with their entire families, and returning to China to study involves family inability to take care of and school status. Even so, the students persisted in completing high school and then chose to return to their home countries to further their education.
Choose a study abroad program carefullyAlthough the study abroad market is vast, you need to be cautious when choosing a study abroad program that suits you. In order to have priority access to top U.S. universities, many parents and students choose to go on to the U.S. starting in middle school. However, compared with domestic high school education, public high schools in the United States are not perfect, and there are problems of racial discrimination and extreme violence. The control and discomfort that comes with this relative freedom is difficult for many Chinese students to adjust. Therefore, before choosing a study abroad program, you need to comprehensively consider the cost of living and living habits, and carefully choose the right study abroad plan.
SummaryAlthough studying in the U.S. provides a relatively high standard of living, students struggle to adapt to the U.S. lifestyle and cultural differences, and school insecurity factors include racial discrimination and extreme violence. Therefore, it is important to be cautious in your choice of study abroad and find a study abroad program that suits you. Compared to living in the United States, studying in China is safer and more comfortable, although there are some problems.
High school is a very important stage for students, a period of character development and formation. Especially in adolescence, their thoughts are more innocent and persistent. Therefore, it is the responsibility of parents to guide their children to be rational about the choice of studying abroad, and at the same time, study abroad agents and teachers should also guide students truthfully and objectively, and give them enough time to think so that they can make wise choices.
