在美高教書的老師看看這個(gè)。 公立高中和私立高中的區(qū)別
https://theweek.com/articles/464411/private-school-worth
In a 2007 study, "Are Private High Schools Better Academically Than Public High Schools?" the Center on Education Policy (CEP) found that once key family background characteristics were considered, public high school students do as well as private school students. "When we controlled for other factors, family background was the biggest determinator of how a kid was going to do," says Diane Stark Rentner, Deputy Director of the CEP.
The report found that:
1. Private high school students scored no better on achievement tests in math, reading, science and history than their counterparts in public high schools.
2. Private high school students were no more likely to attend college than their public high school counterparts.
3. By age 26, young adults who had attended private school enjoyed no more job satisfaction than those who had attended public high schools and were no more likely to be engaged in civic activities.
The study did identify two exceptions: Kids who attend private school had higher SAT scores. According to the study, "independent private school students do not learn any more than other students as measured on achievement tests, but they do perform better on the SATs." CEP believes this "could mean that students in private schools tend to have higher IQs (aptitude tests are a better measure of IQ than achievement tests) or that private schools are better at honing students' test-taking skills (on which
SAT scores are somewhat dependent)." This, in turn, gave private school students an advantage getting into elite colleges.
Catholic schools run by holy orders did have some positive academic effects, such as slightly higher achievement levels in reading, math and history.

最佳回答7edu-Dr. Jing 中級(jí)顧問本人持有加州公立高中數(shù)學(xué)物理教師永久證書,在美國公立高中和私立高中教過十余年。這里我簡單聊幾句:我的觀點(diǎn)是公立高中,私立高中各有利弊。
這篇文章比較的是同類家庭條件下成長起來的孩子,有這樣的經(jīng)濟(jì)能力,居住區(qū)所轄的高中一定也優(yōu)秀,也就是說入讀的公立高中和一般的公立高中不具有可比性。
公立高中一個(gè)很大的優(yōu)勢(shì)是榮譽(yù)班的設(shè)置。榮譽(yù)班的學(xué)生是憑成績進(jìn)去的,成績不好就掉下去了,所以學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)氣比普通班要好,學(xué)的內(nèi)容比普通班要深。從我輔導(dǎo)過的來自優(yōu)秀公立高中學(xué)生(來自包括basis scottsdale high, pvp high, gunn high, troy high 這些全美和加州的名校)和優(yōu)秀私立高中的學(xué)生(來自包括harker, milton, peddie, chase等名校)的AP微積分和AP物理來看,學(xué)習(xí)的深度和寬度幾乎沒有什么區(qū)別,公立學(xué)校的進(jìn)度也許更快一些。私立學(xué)校如果規(guī)模不夠大,一般不分班,加上分?jǐn)?shù)的壓力,相對(duì)少的學(xué)時(shí),這是它的劣勢(shì)。
私立學(xué)校在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生全面發(fā)展方面要遠(yuǎn)比公立學(xué)校好。比如說人品的教育,公立學(xué)校幾乎不怎么管。私立學(xué)校在愛心教育,社會(huì)服務(wù),做人方面的教育要完善得多。再比如說參加校隊(duì)打比賽,公立學(xué)校孩子參加的機(jī)會(huì)甚微。這是因?yàn)楣W(xué)校建一個(gè)校隊(duì),報(bào)名的有十倍以上的學(xué)生。而私立學(xué)校則幾乎是人人有機(jī)會(huì)。我曾經(jīng)問過我在私立學(xué)校的一個(gè)學(xué)生,參加校網(wǎng)球隊(duì)的選拔機(jī)會(huì)如何,學(xué)生告訴我23人參加,錄取22人。
私立學(xué)校有一個(gè)不太好的風(fēng)氣,那就是攀比。我小女兒跟著我讀私校一/二年級(jí)的時(shí)候,認(rèn)識(shí)的名牌車遠(yuǎn)比我多。一次開家長會(huì),她稍稍跟我說能不能把家里的車停遠(yuǎn)一些。但如果往正面看則學(xué)生給自己立的目標(biāo)高一些。私立學(xué)校畢業(yè)的學(xué)生大都想進(jìn)一個(gè)更好的大學(xué),公立學(xué)校畢業(yè)的則相對(duì)沒有那么強(qiáng)烈。

家長:
您好,請(qǐng)問您的Point是 什么? 是給我們一些常識(shí)性的知識(shí)嗎?如果您真正了解美國,或者說了解美國的教育,又或者說,您本人是生活在美國的,那么這篇文章可能對(duì)絕大多數(shù)美國顧問是沒有幫助的。
不過,感謝你找出來這么一篇文章來。 -
這些主要針對(duì)老美學(xué)生的數(shù)據(jù)和分析,只是在印證美國教育界長期來關(guān)于公私學(xué)校對(duì)比的共識(shí)。對(duì)于公立學(xué)校的倡導(dǎo)者(民主黨)更是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)。
對(duì)國際生,上私立學(xué)校特別是寄宿就是把教育孩子的“家長部分的責(zé)任”部分交給了學(xué)校;上公立是交給了寄宿家庭。公立學(xué)校的軟硬件和校原文化也會(huì)因校而異,這個(gè)差別往往比“公私”之分要大的多。 這個(gè)當(dāng)然需要很個(gè)體化的考量。總的來說,不管上公立還是私立,家長怎么樣平衡“放手”與“積極參與”到孩子的學(xué)習(xí)生活,才是對(duì)每個(gè)家長的挑戰(zhàn)。
