Jasmine:和家长谈谈加国的私立学校

文章发布时间:June 18, 2005

家长选择私立学校的原因有很多。

有的是对公校系统不满意;有的是希望孩子在一种父母欣赏和认同的特殊教育方法中成长;有的是因为孩子有特别的天分和需要,是普通公校无法提供的,而更多地是希望子女受到合乎家庭宗教信仰的教育,因为百分之五十的私校属于宗教学校。

许多年轻父母几年前建立小家庭,当初买房立业的时候并没有把孩子可能就读私校的费用加入每月预算,而给教育基金的供款要大学才能用。

等孩子到了读书年龄,他们才发觉经济负担太重安排不过来。

所以希望大家有此打算的要及早考虑。

私立学校不等于贵族学校,这种额外投资是否值得也只有父母本人才清楚。

有些父母认为一个人将来是否成功,其个人社交网络起很大作用。

年轻人从私校毕业,就说明他有一群同样优秀的同学进入社会各行各业,同校的友谊和交情会对个人将来就业社交有助力。

但是从来没有人对这个理论进行跟踪考量,因此没有数据显示私校毕业生在社会上更为成功。

我个人并不担心孩子学习成绩好不好,因此统考排名对我没有太大意义。

但我十分介意他的品行修养,不希望孩子交上坏朋友,沾染不良习惯,而似乎只有一个校规严厉,操行纯良的学校才能减少这种机会。

当考察私校时,所看的方面有很多不同。

主要在以下几方面:

1. 学校运作和管理方式:谁拥有这家学校?校董会和学校之间是什么关系?校长
就任多少年?校长本人是否教授课程?学校如何管教学生?过去五年内有多少学生被停课,或者驱逐出校?是因为什么原因?( Who owns this school? What is the school’s relationship to its board of directors? How long has the principle been here? Does he/she teach any classes? How does the school discipline students? How many students have been suspended or expelled in the past? For what reasons? )

2. 师资来源:老师是受雇标准是什么?他们有多少年经验?他们在此教育了多长
时间? 他们的资历是什么,他们的薪水和公校教师相比如何?有哪些教师是可以进行特殊教育?私校教师不需要象公校教师那样必须有相关教育文凭才能受聘,这一点尤令科班出身的公校老师不满。

(How does the school hire teachers? How many years of teaching experience do they have? How long have the teachers been here? What are their qualifications? How does their pay compare to that of public schools? What specialists do you have on staff? )

3. 学生来源和水平:学校如何挑选学生?入学条件是什么?兄弟姊妹是否可以优
先考虑?毕业生水平如何?毕业生大都去那里就学?(How do you select students? What are your entrance requirements? Do siblings have priority? What are the outcomes of graduation class? What schools do they attend when they finish? )

4. 教育方针方法:学校的教育标准是什么?教育风格如何?如何衡量该校与其他
学校的学业标准?学生参与何种标准或者统一考试?有安排家庭作业吗?每个班最少和最多有多少学生?过去五年学生人数的变化?将来五年预计的变化?男女学生的比例?私校是否参与统考是自愿性质,由校方决定,所以其学生成绩未必能够直接与公校比较。

( What are your academic standards? What is your teaching style? How do you measure your standard with other schools? What exams or contests do students take part in? Is homework a part of school policy? What is the minimum and maximum class size? How has the student numbers change in the last five years? What change do you anticipate in the next five years? What is the ratio of boys and girls?)

5. 学校设备和活动:学校的图书馆有多少藏书?有多少台电脑可供教学使用?这
些电脑是多少年新的?有无升级的计划?学校是否提供午餐订餐服务?午间休息和课后学校有何活动让学生参与?有没有校车接送?有没有课后托儿服务?(How large is your school library? How many computers do you have for education? How old are the computers? Is there any plan to upgrade? Does the school provide lunch plan? What activities are offered during lunch break and after school? Is transportation available? Do you provide after school day care service? )

6.学费:过去五年中学费的涨幅是多少?计划将来的涨幅是多少?( How has the tuition fees risen in the past five years? What should we expect for the next few years?)

7. 有哪些其他学校你建议我去参观了解?与同类相比,这间学校有何不同和优胜
之处?(What similar schools in the area would you recommend we visit? What makes your school different?)

对于一间学校的实地考察,其实有很多微细的内容,需要家长用心地去发现比较,而这些内容,不是一篇文章可以说得清楚的,家长需要足够的经验,以及在考察前做好作业。
