家长专访|放弃重点高中，选择天行圆孩子牛津梦

上一期采访了天行第一届毕业生Helen父亲之后，小编又响应家长们的诉求，采访了天行在读高三学生刘亦正Alan同学的妈妈。刘亦正Alan同学，是天行第二届学生，日前，他收到了牛津大学数学系的面试邀请。下面，就跟小编一起来听听Alan妈妈及孩子与天行一中的故事吧。

In the last issue, after interviewing Helen's father, the first graduate of Teensen, the editor responded to the parents' demands and interviewed Alan’s mother.Alan, is the second student of Teensen.Recently, he received an interview invitation from the Mathematics Department of Oxford University. Now, let's listen to the story of Alan's family and Teensen together with editor.

不敢置信我们有机会冲刺世界顶尖学校

刘亦正是2017年参加的中考，当年的中考成绩是682分，其中语文108.5分、数学117分、英语110分，体育是拿了满分。这样的分数，我和孩子当初还是很满意的，那一年的中考分数线，最高的是师大附中675分。其实从2017年开始，我和当时初中班上的家长们就已经是在不断地接收到各种各样关于中考、学校、老师的信息，而一些私立学校也是深入到初中来提前找生源。

Alan took the senior high school entrance examination in 2017. His score was 682, including 108.5 in Chinese, 117 in mathematics and 110 in English. He got full marks in sports. This kind of score, my child and I were very satisfied at the beginning. In that year's high school entrance examination score line, the highest score was 675 in the Affiliated Middle School of Normal University. In fact, since 2017, I and the parents in the junior high school class have been receiving a variety of information about the middle school entrance examination, school and teachers, and some private schools are also going deep into junior high school to find students in advance.

我孩子其实早在初二就已经接触了一点国际高中出国留学的信息，我的一位堂姐，她儿子大四岁，就是中加班毕业的，考去了UBC，现在已是大四。出国前，我们有过一点交流，我孩子也表现出对此的兴趣。基于此，我们决定深入了解一下国际教育。

As early as the second day of junior high school, my child has already contacted some information about studying abroad in international high school. One of my cousins, her son is four years old. She graduated from the middle school after working overtime. She passed the UBC exam, and now she is a senior. Before going abroad, we had a bit of communication, and my child showed interest in it. Based on this, we decided to learn more about international education.

中考成绩出来后，我接到天行一中老师的电话，报上中考分数，然后就听到学费全免的介绍，天行一中的奖学金政策非常吸引我。我当即决定，要去学校看一看。

After the examination results came out, I received a phone call from the teacher of Teensen, reported the examination scores, and then heard the introduction of tuition free. The scholarship policy of Teensen attracted me very much. I immediately decided to go to school.

到了学校，初步了解了A-Level是什么，看了学校的办学点资格。然后我就回家，上网找了相关的信息，知道了一些这个课程体系的特点。接着，就和学校约了再来一次深入了解。

When I arrived at the school, I had a preliminary understanding of what A-level is and looked at the qualifications of the school. Then I went home, searched the Internet for relevant information, and learned some characteristics of the course system. Then, I made an appointment with the school to have another in-depth understanding.

我记得当时，是陶老师和庄老师接待的我和孩子，陶老师出了一份升学规划，庄老师介绍了师资和教学。当我听到说，依我孩子现在的成绩，如果能保持住这个水平，未来相当有机会向世界顶尖的学校冲刺。当我们了解到，国内顶尖学校和世界顶尖学校的排名，我和孩子的心里都不可置信，我们还可以有这样的机会！要知道，在此前，我和孩子定的高考目标学校是武汉大学，还是要死命努力才有可能的，清华北大那是想都没敢想的！而读这个课程，我们居然可以想象去申请牛津、剑桥这样的学校！我和孩子都很兴奋，同时我也觉得天行的教育理念跟我的十分契合。就这样，怀着对未来的憧憬，我和孩子共同决定，选择天行一中，冲击世界顶级名校，为梦想努力！

I remember that at that time, it was Miss. Tao and Miss. Zhuang who received me and my children. Miss. Tao made a plan for entering a higher school. Miss. Zhuang introduced the teachers and teaching. When I heard that, according to my children's current performance, if I can keep this level, I have a good chance to rush to the world's top schools in the future. When we learn that the ranking of top schools in China and the world is unbelievable to me and my children, we can have such opportunities! You know, before that, the college entrance examination target school set by my child and I was Wuhan University, or it was possible to work hard. Tsinghua University didn't dare to think about it! In this course, we can imagine applying to Oxford and Cambridge! My children and I are very excited. At the same time, I also feel that the educational concept of Teensen fits me very well. In this way, with a vision for the future, my children and I decided to choose Teensen, to impact the world's top schools, and work hard for our dreams!

在天行，他如鱼得水

高一开学分班，我孩子被分到1班，当时班上共有5位同学。教学进度是专门规划的，孩子开始适应英文教材、英文题目、英文试卷，开始接触学习除了数学、化学、物理、语文以外的经济、会计、商科等课程。刚入学那会，我以为孩子会不适应全新的国际教育体系，但从他给我的反馈来看，他并没有什么特别不适应的，反而是找到了一个如鱼得水的地方。刚进入天行一两个星期，他就跟我说，以前在学校感觉时间很长，但是现在感觉是度日如秒。

At the beginning of senior one, my child was divided into class 1. At that time, there were 5 students in the class. The teaching schedule is specially planned. The children begin to adapt to English teaching materials, English topics and English test papers, and begin to learn other courses such as economics, accounting and business besides mathematics, chemistry, physics and Chinese. When I was just in school, I thought that the child would not adapt to the new international education system, but from the feedback he gave me, he didn't have any particular maladjustment, but found a place like a fish in water. Just after entering Teensen for a week or two, he told me that it used to feel like a long time in school, but now it feels like a second.

学校的升学规划处也开始安排请不同行业人士来讲座、到不同职业地点去见习，工程类、银行类、艺术类等等，我的孩子也在这一次次的讲座和见习中，发现了自己对工程类的不感冒和对IT类的兴趣。我记得后来与陶老师面谈，交流这个情况，她说，升学规划处安排这样的活动，目的就是为了让同学们自己亲身见识一下各类不同职业，即使一时不能发现自己的兴趣所在，能发现不感兴趣的类别也一样达到了目的。

The school's entrance planning department also began to arrange for people from different industries to give lectures and go to different vocational places for internships, such as engineering, banking, art and so on. My children also found that they were not interested in engineering and it in this lecture and internship. I remember meeting with Miss. Tao later to exchange this situation. She said that the purpose of such an activity arranged by the school entrance planning office is to let students see all kinds of different occupations by themselves. Even if they can't find out their interests for a while, they can also find the categories that they are not interested in.

对于每位学生，学校专门安排了心理测评、与学生一对一的面谈，并在第一学期安排了与家长的一对一面谈。陶老师向我介绍了孩子的测评情况，结合孩子的学业水平、个人意愿，与我交流讨论优选专业方向，确定了数学、计算机方向。围绕着这个方向，学校安排开展了一系列的职业小组活动，包括上IT语言课程、参加国际数学竞赛、参加国内机器人比赛、报名美国编程奥赛等等。这些安排，既专业又贴合孩子的情况，只要孩子执行好了，就能成为申请文书上的一个个亮点，对于申请好学校是必不可缺的。

For each student, the school specially arranged psychological assessment, one-on-one interview with students, and one-on-one interview with parents in the first semester. Miss Tao introduced the evaluation of children to me, combined with their academic level and personal wishes, and discussed with me to optimize the professional direction, and determined the direction of mathematics and computer. Around this direction, the school arranged a series of professional group activities, including it language courses, international mathematics competitions, domestic robot competitions, application for the American programming Olympics, etc. These arrangements, both professional and fit the situation of children, as long as the implementation of the child, can become a bright spot on the application documents, which is indispensable for the application of a good school.

高二下学期的时候，我孩子还有幸被选为申请牛津、剑桥的培养学生，接受了针对牛津、剑桥的附加考试培训。培训老师都是牛剑的毕业生，实力非常强。这些培训，也为我孩子获得这一次牛津面试邀请打下了坚实的基础。

In the second semester of senior two, my child was also lucky to be selected as a training student applying for Oxford and Cambridge, and received additional examination training for Oxford and Cambridge. The training teachers are all graduates of niujian. They are very strong. These trainings also laid a solid foundation for my child to get this Oxford interview invitation.

除了学习之外，学校还特别重视对孩子进行全方面的培养。学校每学年都会安排各种活动，诸如每周一国旗下的讲话、英语演讲比赛、学生会竞选、户外拓展、大考后组织的文化旅游活动，包括老师们在他第一次数学大考没考到90分时对他心理压力的舒解辅导等等，都对他的个人成长有着重要影响。他当然有缺点，在我看来还不少，但我和学校更看重他的优点，正向地鼓励他扬长避短，积极向上！

In addition to learning, the school also attaches great importance to all aspects of children's training. Every school year, the school will arrange various activities, such as the speech under the national flag every week, English speech competition, student union election, outdoor expansion, cultural tourism activities organized after the big test, including the teachers' counseling on his psychological stress when he failed to take the first math big test to 90, etc., which have an important impact on his personal growth. Of course, he has shortcomings, in my opinion, there are many, but my school and I pay more attention to his advantages, and positively encourage him to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and be positive!

后记

在采访最后完成以后，我们还问了刘亦正妈妈一个问题，就是对那些想要进入天行的家庭有什么建议？

After the interview, we also asked Alan's mother a question, which is what advice do you have for those families who want to enter Teensen?

她认为，择校，一定要充分听取孩子的意见。作为家长，要尽量获取真实全面的信息，把它们列出来，让孩子参与进来。家长要做的就是不时提醒孩子不要偏离初心，而对于孩子，我要做和要我做，效果肯定是会不一样的。天行有着非常强大的师资以及专业的升学指导团队，相信学校，跟着学校的步伐走，冲击世界名校不是梦！

In her opinion, we must fully listen to children's opinions when choosing a school. As parents, we should try our best to get real and comprehensive information, list them and let children participate. What parents should do is to remind children from time to time not to deviate from their original intention. For children, the effect of what I want to do and what I want to do will definitely be different. Teensen has a very strong teacher and professional guidance team. We believe that it is not a dream for Teensen to follow the steps of the school and impact the world famous schools!

从全国拿到牛津、剑桥offer情况来看，但凡能够考上南昌重点高中，且成绩在中流水平的学生，一旦进入到类似天行一中这样的国际学校，都有可能获取牛剑offer。与其挤高考这条独木桥，不如来天行一中。

From the perspective of the offers from Oxford and Cambridge across the country, any student who can pass the examination of Nanchang key high school and has a middle-class score will be able to obtain the niujian offer once he enters an international school like Teensen. It's better to come to Teensen than to squeeze the single wooden bridge of college entrance examination.
