Dreams come true-Xiao Sheng's experience from childhood to adulthood
After the child was released from the list, the circle of friends of the child's father wrote this:
Beginning on April 9 and ending on July 2, Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang rushed around; From June 9th to July 2nd, the indissoluble bond with City Easy Hotel ended perfectly tonight. Pippi, well done. The road to preparing for the exam during this period will be a valuable experience for you in the future.
If I remember correctly, the cup ended in early April. At a parent-teacher meeting, I suddenly realized that for most primary school graduates who are not going to take an examination of foreign schools, junior high schools have started early in excellent training institutions.
As for us, we should wholeheartedly prepare for the exams in foreign schools.
At that time, we had been taking classes in a foreign teacher class jointly organized by GC and YD since the fall of the sixth grade, and there would be an "interview simulation" every Saturday night. At that time, we were still watching PPT and writing the answers on white paper.
The child is very happy in this extracurricular class. The famous math teacher L once praised him: "As long as you don't enter the chat mode, you can do any problem!" English is a famous teacher Martin, which belongs to myth. During the period, I also went to the parent-teacher meeting of this institution, which was properly circled by two teachers. The circled points are mainly the temperament and cultural atmosphere of the two teachers. At that parent-teacher meeting, I once expressed my feelings in a circle of friends, so I won't say it here.
This class is very convenient for us. In Wuchang, the children go back and forth by subway.
However, the problem is: too few people! There were 60 people in the class at first, but they gradually decreased. There are even fewer students attending the "interview simulation" in the evening, and there are basically only more than 20 people.
I'm starting to worry. Because in this class, my children have slowly come to the forefront, ranking sixth, fourth, third and second, which is probably the case. But he never won 1. Although he left 1 alternately, he never won 1.
If he doesn't rank so high, I will stay in this institution with peace of mind, because he still has room for his own efforts. However, he is here, and his ranking has basically reached the top. It is difficult for him to find a frame of reference, because the characteristics of foreign school exams are that there is no outline and reference, so our confidence comes more from the reference of people around us. Most importantly, I know that he is not a real Niu Wa, a child who can only wander between no prize and the third prize in Olympic mathematics, and a child who may not win the prize in English. Although I have bursting confidence in his learning ability, I don't think these exams can reflect his real ability. At least, he is not the kind of Niu Wa whose ability exceeds the score. He is in the forefront here, so I have no confidence to achieve our ultimate goal.
I made a few confused phone calls, but my friend's relief could not dispel my doubts. I also tried to ask if the YD of this foreign rush class and Hankou is a * * * topic, and whether it can pull through the rankings. If all this can be done, I really want to stay here, but the answer is no.
At that time, I began to realize how important platforms and big data are. At the last moment, knowledge itself is not as important as question bank and big data.
So I started looking for a platform with big data.
First of all, I went to LT in Dunkou, where I felt a sense of intimacy. Many students are here, and more than 200 people take part in every exam. We're going to have several computer tests here to see where the children are located. If the positioning is acceptable, we will reconsider. If the positioning is not good, it means that you can no longer stay in the original foreign teacher class.
The child got the first place here, about 7/80. I can't remember the specific ranking. We think it's basically his level, neither good nor bad. This price is more expensive, 300 times, but the topic is more detailed. After the exam, speak 1 hour in each class.
After the initial test, we also contacted YD in Hankou. YD's computer test is much cheaper, 130/ time, but the difference is that each course is only half an hour after the test. In YD, another one or two hundred children came, and I met another part of my classmates. At this point, we think we have found the organization.
After careful consideration and soliciting children's opinions, we propose to try it in three places in April, so that he can feel it for himself and determine the next plan.
The child agreed.
So I held a parent-teacher meeting. The child wrote in a letter to his parents, "But even if there are two or three weeks, I don't feel tired running around in three towns in Wuhan."
Because going abroad is his real dream and his favorite school, and as parents, we really don't want to and can't decide for ourselves which institution can really help him in the last two months. He can only ask himself to spend some time and energy to experience and then make a decision.
In the past twelve years, one of my important parenting goals for him is to need him to have his own judgment and know what he needs and what suits him. It's time for him to come out.
The schedule at that time was:
After school on Friday afternoon, my classmate's mother came to pick him up from school, and then the two children took the subway from Dunkou to Hankou. My baby's father picked them up in Hankou at night to take the YD computer test.
There are three classes in Wuchang on Saturday. We gave up the mock interview in the evening.
On Sunday afternoon, I took a computer exam in Dunkou.
Live in Dunkou on Sunday night, stop running, and go directly to school on Monday morning.
After this arrangement, I am actually not so tired, because I don't have to get up too early on Monday morning.
At the end of April, solicit the opinions of children. He chose YD as the computer test simulation organization.
Computer test simulation has been confirmed. Although it is only a computer test simulation, should we continue three courses? Where can I get it? This is another option.
Select 1: Continue the course with more than 20 GC students and change the topic.
Scheme 2: 1 brush a single course on 4 GC.
Option 3: brush the questions of YD class.
Scheme 4: YD takes 1 4 courses.
The process of asking for information and selecting is not described in detail.
The last choice is the fourth one, which is a single course from YD to/KLOC-0 to 4, and all three subjects are tested.
The reason for this is the following：
1)YD Waichong is a team with strong topic development ability and rich question bank. GC+YD is the cooperation between institutions. Two famous teachers together have a strong faculty. But in the final stage, it is difficult to improve the ability too much, and knowledge literacy is the most important thing. At this point, YD won completely.
2) Brush classes from one to four, and the materials can be taken home, which is very convenient for reviewing afterwards. Although some institutional teachers say there is no need to look back after class, I think it is necessary to review the wrong questions afterwards. My child will tell me all the questions every time he comes home after brushing the questions, and I will expand some relevant knowledge points for him appropriately. Judging from the final exam results, it doesn't seem to matter much, but from the logic of preparing for the exam. I think so. This is also very important to us.
As for HX, another well-known external influence organization, I have no contact at all and have no right to speak. However, after publishing the list from the outside, YD has been sincere in promoting the examination questions and the admission of children. I am a very sincere person and like sincere people, so I recognize my choice.
In this way, I am ready to leave, and I don't have to run around the town again and again. I reluctantly bid farewell to the two famous teachers who had just been circled, and went to YD for a brushing class of 1 4. Teachers like Mr. Martin can only attend large classes and can't brush classes. Those who brush the classes are all younger teachers. I seldom go, because my father is planning, so I can't give too many opinions and suggestions. In this final stage, it is mainly the coverage and refreshing of knowledge points, and the role of teachers is not so great. Teacher Alasa who brushes English questions is very popular with my children.
So the final stage is in YD, and one day every weekend, I simply live in Hankou, which is very important for children to avoid running around. The last moment is a great test for the child's physical strength. My child belongs to the type of being taken away from home, so he can live anywhere, only his family is enough, so staying in a hotel is a very happy thing for him and he can have a good rest.
Our schedule for the last two months basically ends from Friday afternoon to Saturday noon. After returning to Wuchang on Saturday afternoon, I will casually listen to the children explain the contents of the class again. What is left is his own time to arrange school homework and entertainment. It is a very happy process to explain the content of the brush course, because the topics are quite interesting, especially the query and understanding of encyclopedia knowledge points. Even burning the brain to find regular math may be difficult and interesting for my children.
Rushing out for the last time is the best time for children to learn. Because he was in good condition when he was studying, his whole life became a positive cycle. There is not much homework in the last stage, and he has the habit of finishing his homework at school in advance. After intense study, he is very relaxed and entertaining.
Finally, I want to sum up some suggestions about rush classes abroad:
1 and overshoot are actually three parts. The first part is the knowledge study aimed at the characteristics of foreign school examinations, which generally ends at the end of April. The second part is to brush the questions. After the end of April, even a large class will become a brush mode, or a small class with 1 N. The purpose of this is to refresh and fill the blank of knowledge points covered by foreign school exams, and the importance of the question bank is reflected at this stage. The third part is computer test simulation. The most important thing is to cultivate the feeling of computer examination and check your position in the group. For us, this is a process of enhancing confidence. The second and third films are almost all held in April, but you can register separately. So parents can decide according to their own situation. For example, we actually finished the first film in Wuchang, and later we went to Hankou to finish the second and third films. There are still some children, only the first part plus the third part, who have also been admitted. Of course, there are also cattle children who directly feel the next computer test in the third part and go to the exam.
2. We once asked our children after the exam, what do you think of the one-on-four brush class? How does it compare with the feeling of being in a large class in GC? My children think one to four is better, saying that big classes are too noisy. Therefore, considering the efficiency of brushing questions per unit time and the noise level of the classroom, one to four is necessary. Of course, the most important thing is that my children are really not good enough and have little knowledge. He needs a pair of fours to fill the gap.
