中国留学服务中心日前在上海光大会展中心举办了“中国国际高等教育巡回展”，共有１６个国家的９５所学校和教育机构参加，短短两天竟吸引了上万名参观咨询者。展会计划上午９点对外开放，但刚过８点半已有许多迫不及待的参观者挤在门口，除了大学生之外，更多的是父母陪伴而来的中学生。而且中学生留洋正面对留学低龄化现象，不少学生和家长认为国内的中学教育水平与国外同类学校相比有差距，国内的教学方式太呆板，而国外的教学更有利于培养学生的创造性思维。但事实果真如此吗？
China International Higher Education Service Center recently held "China International Higher Education Tour Exhibition" in Shanghai Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center, with 95 schools and educational institutions from 16 countries participating. In just two days, it attracted tens of thousands of visitors and consultants. The exhibition is planned to open at 9:00 a.m., but just after 8:30 a.m., many impatient visitors have crowded in the door. In addition to college students, most of them are middle school students accompanied by their parents. Moreover, middle school students studying abroad are facing the phenomenon of low age. Many students and their parents think that there is a gap between the domestic middle school education level and the similar foreign schools. The domestic teaching method is too rigid, and the foreign teaching is more conducive to the cultivation of students' creative thinking. But is it true?
??一位曾在多个发达国家考察过的教育学家谈他的个人体会：中国教育与发达国家相比，确实有差距，但在基础教育方面，中国教育更具优势。在国际数、理、化等奥林匹克竞赛上，“披金挂银”的多数是中国学生，这足以表明我国的教育水平并不低。??
-- an educationist who has visited many developed countries talked about his personal experience: compared with developed countries, China's education does have a gap, but in terms of basic education, China's education has more advantages. In the International Olympic games such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, most of the students who wear gold and silver are Chinese students, which shows that the education level of our country is not low. ?
那么，中学生们急着出国的真正原因是什么？一些教师和家长们说：主要原因是就学和就业的压力太大。特别是每年高考成绩揭晓之后，众多高考生“几家欢喜几家愁”。虽然高考录取率已经达到52%以上，但高中生的高考压力仍然很大，于是，出国便成为中学生的另一个选择。因为国外的大学好上，竞争不如国内那么激烈。不少家长和学生认为：一旦留学回来，喝了“洋墨水”工作也好找。
So, what's the real reason why middle school students are eager to go abroad? Some teachers and parents said: the main reason is too much pressure on school and employment. In particular, after the results of the annual college entrance examination are announced, many college entrance examination students "several happy and several sad". Although the enrollment rate of college entrance examination has reached more than 52%, the pressure of college entrance examination for high school students is still great, so going abroad has become another choice for middle school students. Because foreign universities are good, the competition is not as fierce as domestic universities. Many parents and students think that once they come back from studying abroad, they can find a job after drinking "foreign ink".
可是学生与家长们的美好愿望未必都能实现，记得一位留学生回忆自己的海外生活说：刚出去的时候，学习劲头还很足，可是时间一长，那些比较散漫的学生不断影响我，很多国内正读初中、高中的学生出来之后，因为年龄小，独立性太差，该学的知识没学，一些他国留学生的陋习倒学了不少。可见欠考虑的盲目出国，到头来只会害了自己。
But the good wishes of students and parents may not be realized. I remember a foreign student recalled his overseas life and said: when I first went out, I was still full of learning energy, but for a long time, those relatively loose students constantly influenced me. Many domestic students who were studying in junior high school and senior high school came out, because of their young age and poor independence, they didn't learn the knowledge Foreign students in other countries have learned a lot of bad habits. It can be seen that the thoughtless blind going abroad will only harm themselves in the end.
与国外相比，中国的学生成熟比较晚。一般的中学生价值取向还比较幼稚，判断力、接受力可能都存在一些问题；另外中国的家长对学生习惯于全方位的监管，可学生一旦到了国外，失去了这种约束，这种自由让他们无所适从，很容易走向另一个极端，从而失去了留学最初始的意愿。还有，国外的教育方式与国内不同，他们给学生很大的自由空间，教育方式的巨大差异，加之一些学生年龄较小，使他们的适应性和自律性都受到考验。所以出国读书对他们并不是最好的选择。
Compared with foreign countries, Chinese students mature later. The general value orientation of middle school students is still relatively naive, and there may be some problems in judgment and acceptance. In addition, Chinese parents are used to all-round supervision of students, but once students go abroad, they lose this constraint, this freedom makes them at a loss, and it is easy for them to go to another extreme, thus losing the initial willingness to study abroad. In addition, the foreign education mode is different from the domestic one. They give students a lot of free space, and the huge difference in education mode. In addition, some students are younger, which makes their adaptability and self-discipline tested. So studying abroad is not the best choice for them.
不过中学生出国读书，也不能一概断定利大弊大。从个性上说，有的学生性格坚强，具有一定独立性，也比较开朗，出国后会较快适应外面的环境；也有的学生在国内成绩不太好，自信心较差，但确实有上升的潜质，他们出去以后，有可能会重新建立自信心，获得较好的发展空间。如果是这样，那么成功留学就是一笔财富。记得有一个学生，高中毕业之后，就前往马来西亚留学，一年时间通过了“雅思”考试，开始在当地攻读商科，在国外独立生活了4年的他，眼睛里多了几分成熟，处事也大方周到。还没毕业，已经被湖南广电“相中”。
However, when middle school students go abroad to study, they can't judge the advantages and disadvantages. In terms of personality, some students are strong, independent and cheerful, and will adapt to the external environment quickly after going abroad; some students do not do well in China and have poor self-confidence, but they do have the potential to rise. When they go out, they may re-establish their self-confidence and get better development space. If so, successful study abroad is a fortune. I remember a student, after graduating from high school, went to Malaysia to study. He passed the IELTS test in one year and began to study business in the local area. After four years of living independently in foreign countries, he had more mature eyes and was generous and thoughtful. Has not graduated, has been Hunan Radio and television "Xiangzhong.".
其实凡事都有两面性，有的学生独立性和自理能力都不够，要他们一下子远离家乡、父母，面对着令人眼花缭乱的新环境，就会无所适从，这对尚未成熟的学生心理是个很大的伤害，不利于学生的成长，更不要说把学习搞好了。
In fact, there are two sides to everything. Some students are not enough independent and able to take care of themselves. If they want to stay away from their hometown and parents at once, they will be at a loss in the face of dazzling new environment. This is a great harm to the immature students' psychology, which is not conducive to their growth, let alone to their study well.
然而值得庆幸的是，比起前两年的盲目留学热，高中生们已经放慢了留学的脚步，谈及个中缘由，我认为是越来越多的归国留学生，毕业后找不到理想的工作，又使家长们产生顾虑：花这么大代价将孩子送到国外读书，回国后找不到工作，到底值不值？另外，家长与学生对“黑中介”的恐惧也是出国留学人数减少的重要原因。
However, fortunately, compared with the previous two years' enthusiasm for studying abroad blindly, high school students have slowed down the pace of studying abroad. When it comes to the reasons, I think more and more returned students can't find the ideal job after graduation, which makes parents have concerns: it's worth spending so much money to send their children to study abroad, and can't find a job after returning home? In addition, parents and students' fear of "black intermediary" is also an important reason for the decrease in the number of students studying abroad.
虽然出国留学出现很多问题，但并不能因噎废食，只要选择正规的中介服务机构，家长和学生都调整好出国留学的心态，出国留学不但可以缓解国内升学压力，还可以让学生早点接触到国际较为先进的观念，增强与不同国家、不同文化背景的人打交道的能力，学成毕业后，将来一定会是国家的一笔财富。
Although there are many problems in studying abroad, we can't stop eating because of choking. As long as we choose a regular intermediary service agency, parents and students can adjust their attitude towards studying abroad. Studying abroad can not only relieve the pressure of domestic study, but also enable students to get in touch with more advanced international concepts, enhance their ability to deal with people from different countries and cultural backgrounds, and achieve success After graduation, it will be a national treasure in the future.
