Topics
Angela分享了她从中国到美国的教育经历,对比了中美两国教育体系的差异。在中国,教育体系竞争激烈,注重考试成绩和排名,这让她感到学习的乐趣被剥夺,并导致了失眠等问题。而在美国,她感受到了一种更注重个人探索和发展的教育氛围,这让她有机会更好地了解自己,并最终选择从事教育行业。她认为,中国教育体系的竞争压力过大,容易导致学生缺乏自我认知和目标感。而美国教育体系则给了她更多的时间和空间去思考自己是谁,自己想要什么,并为自己的未来规划做准备。她还分享了她作为招生官和升学指导顾问的经历,以及她对当前学生在申请大学过程中面临的挑战的观察。她提到,现在学生面临着更大的竞争压力,信息来源也更加多元化,这给升学指导带来了新的挑战。 Victoria和EJ作为主持人,引导Angela分享了她的人生经历和教育感悟,并就中美教育差异、学生心理健康等问题与她进行了深入探讨。他们共同探讨了在帮助学生规划未来时,如何平衡家庭期望与学生个人意愿之间的关系,以及如何应对信息时代带来的挑战。
