目前许多亚裔学生为能进入名校,拼命选更多的AP科程,认为AP课程越多越好。结果累得筋疲力竭,还不一定能进入名校。


问题出在哪里?

我请到了豪杰教育中心的周主任来和家长们分享的她独特的教育理念和实践, 包括如何发掘和培养孩子的特质,爱好及优势;孩子的教育和培养不仅是进名校为目的,而且要更好地胜任大学学习和生活的挑战,并在将来的事业上走得更高更远。


摘自周主任的教育Blog:


大多數的亞裔父母,尤其是我們這些來自台灣大陸的中國爸爸媽媽們,需要深切的省思了.別只一心的想把孩子推上了名牌大學,從此就高枕無憂了。孩子進了大學以後,才真正的要獨立面對許多的問題和壓力。許多學生在高中選擇大學志願時完全依照父母的指示填選,等到進了大學以後,才發現自己的興趣與所諗的專業科系誤差很大。再進一步探討,多數的亞裔孩子進好大學的比例很高,但是大學畢業以後選擇就業的比例不高,甚至許多自以為是的媽媽們相互傳遞訊息,大學文憑已經不夠看了,這年頭一定要諗𠆤碩士或博士才會有出息。因此我們的孩子們就一亇亇的大學諗完諗碩士,碩士諗完諗博士。在這𠆤經濟不景氣的年代裡,年輕人不用面對社會的壓力,𠆤人的責任。只要一頭躦進讀書的領域裡就天下太平了。而這些聰明的父母們,看著他們從小盡全力栽培的孩子們,學這學那,進了好大學,拿了碩士,又拿了博士,一晃已快三十而立了,怎麼事業無成在就業市場上並不一帆風順


學生是無法標準制度化

最近越來越多的問題出現在如何教育孩子上,只是提供他們好的成績,可以衡量的成就,好的入學測驗分數,擠入名校?然後怎麼樣呢?學生畢業後做什麼呢?


事實上,大多數大亞裔美國孩子在大學畢業以後,進入職場,面臨事業的競爭和挑戰時,本身都存在一些潛在的隱憂。就是在溝通技巧和領導能力上面,有相當程度的缺失和不足。我们是要極力突破傳統亞裔教育思維,培養學生擁有獨立思考,創造,和領導能力,幫助學生擁有更好的資產,面對他們將來在就業或者創業的道路,展現基礎和實力!

How to Explore Your kids’ Element and Convert it to Passion and Advantage

Time: 7-8:45pm, Thursday, February 23,

PlaceWhitney High School, MPR

Guest SpeakerMs Zhou from BREAKTHROUGH TRAINING CENTER(BTC)

Language: Mandarin

 

Problem

Current many Asian students have to learn more AP classes in order to get admitted into Ivy Colleges. As consequence, the students have been struggling in overwhelming study and less sleeping. However all these efforts can’t guarantee admission into Ivy Leagues.

 

Solution


Ms. Zhou from BTC will share her unique educational philosophy and practice, including how to explore and develop the children's passions and make them into advantages; The education and training of children is not only for the purpose of entering the school, but also to better qualified for university learning and life challenges, and to go higher and farther in the future career.

 

Excerpt from Ms. Zhou’s Blog:

Students aren't standardized

Yet increasingly, the education we provide our children seems geared towards the achievement of the measurable: get good grades, test well on the SAT, get into a great college. But what then? What happens after a student graduates?

The truth is, many Asian-Americans experience the "http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/11/cracking-the-bamboo-ceiling/380800/&source=gmail&ust=1487533484218000&usg=AFQjCNE14_LZj_Kmsg1Non9xW309ZKZIYA" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">bamboo ceiling" when they enter the workforce -- a sudden loss of career opportunity, a feeling of hopelessness due in part because others perceive them as lacking 'leadership potential' or 'communication skills.'
