我們要問(wèn)的是，我的孩子在這里會(huì)快樂(lè)嗎?因?yàn)榭鞓?lè)的孩子會(huì)想學(xué)習(xí)，只有渴望學(xué)習(xí)才能成功。——摘自Ian Hunt校長(zhǎng)3月20日媒體采訪

▲現(xiàn)場(chǎng)媒體采訪
媒體記者：
First of all, please share with us your feelings attoday's IEIC scene?
首先請(qǐng)你與我們做一個(gè)分享，您在今天的IEIC現(xiàn)場(chǎng)有怎樣的感受?
Ian Hunt：
For me, it's been a very enjoyable experience here,not only is it give us the opportunity to meet potential parents, but it's alsobeen a great opportunity to meet the principles from other schools in theregion and to talk about educational aspects as well. So it's been great fromboth aspects for me.
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一次非常愉快的經(jīng)歷，不僅讓我們有機(jī)會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)潛在的家長(zhǎng)，而且也是一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)，認(rèn)識(shí)本地區(qū)其他學(xué)校的校長(zhǎng)，并討論教育方面的問(wèn)題，所以這兩方面對(duì)我都很好。
媒體記者：
Please share with us a educational concept which youpersonally admire?
分享一下您個(gè)人非常崇尚的教育理念給大家。
Ian Hunt：
I've been with the IB program for over 20 years now.So I'm very much into the IB philosophy and I think the IB programs and the philosophyit is something that's really needed in the world and it's that move away fromjust academics into developing realistically the child as well, which I thinkis very important.
我參加IB項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)20多年了。所以我非常喜歡IB的理念，我認(rèn)為IB項(xiàng)目和理念，這是世界上真正需要的東西，它從單純的學(xué)術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)向現(xiàn)實(shí)的發(fā)展孩子，我認(rèn)為這是非常重要的。
媒體記者：
What common misunderstandings do you think parentshave in the process of choosing a school?
您覺(jué)得平時(shí)家長(zhǎng)在擇校過(guò)程中有哪些比較常見(jiàn)的誤區(qū)?
Ian Hunt：
I think perhaps the biggest misunderstanding that parents have is actuallygetting there and the misunderstanding that to get there is very difficult andyou must produce as much fake Information as possible to get there. It's notdifficult to get to a foreign university. It's relatively easy to get toforeign university. The difficulty is being successful once you were there. SoI would urge parents please do not in flat grey DDS do not approach agents togive you inflation in false personal statements. Let your child develop, letyour child put their personal statement in their own words. I'm prepare themfor life at university not just to get there. The important thing I wouldn'tlike to sort of here again. It's not getting to university that's important.It's been successful once you are there and it's about having those approachesto learning skills, the social skills, the communication skills that when ableto your children to be successful and then to return to China as well roundedcitizens.
我想，也許家長(zhǎng)們較大的誤解就是覺(jué)得需要用假信息讓孩子進(jìn)到大學(xué)。其實(shí)去上外國(guó)大學(xué)并不難，難的是在學(xué)校里變得優(yōu)秀和成功，所以我會(huì)建議家長(zhǎng)們不要與一些不專(zhuān)業(yè)的機(jī)構(gòu)合作，給孩子的簡(jiǎn)歷造假，要讓孩子真正成長(zhǎng)，讓孩子用自己的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)他們的個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，提前準(zhǔn)備好大學(xué)需要的個(gè)人能力，進(jìn)入大學(xué)并不是那么重要，更為重要的是，學(xué)習(xí)技能、社交技能、溝通技巧，當(dāng)你的孩子成功，然后回到中國(guó)，以及全面公民。
媒體記者：
When parents plan for their children's internationaleducation, what kind of school age stage do you think is the mostsuitable?
家長(zhǎng)們對(duì)于孩子做國(guó)際教育方面規(guī)劃的時(shí)候，您覺(jué)得什么樣的學(xué)齡階段較為合適?
Ian Hunt：
I think with regard to age, it's more upon the school if you've got a schoolwhere the child is happy in the primary years, that's important having childrenwho are happy and enjoy learning in the very, very early ages. It is the mostimportant thing. So don't just think Chinese system or international systemlook at the school, will my child be happy here? Because a happy child willwant to learn. It's the wanting to learn that will be successful. So the bestage is the age where your child feels comfortable. They enjoy learning. Theywant to move on to something that perhaps their current school isn't providingfor them.
我認(rèn)為關(guān)于學(xué)齡階段，我覺(jué)得，你的孩子在很小年齡，能在一個(gè)學(xué)校里快樂(lè)的學(xué)習(xí)，這比學(xué)制更重要。所以不要光看中國(guó)體制或國(guó)際體制的學(xué)校，我們要問(wèn)的是，我的孩子在這里會(huì)快樂(lè)嗎?因?yàn)榭鞓?lè)的孩子會(huì)想學(xué)習(xí)。只有渴望學(xué)習(xí)才能成功。所以的年齡是你的孩子感到舒服的年齡。他們喜歡在這個(gè)學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)，他們想繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)，我們需要關(guān)注他們現(xiàn)在的學(xué)校沒(méi)有為他們提供的東西，以此來(lái)找新的學(xué)校。
媒體記者：
What makes CBIS Bilingual international schoolbeingdifferent from other schools ?
元耕山語(yǔ)湖雙語(yǔ)國(guó)際學(xué)校與其他學(xué)校較大的不同在哪里?
Ian Hunt：
I would say the difference between CBIS another international schools isperhaps that we've been focused on the holistic development of children.There's a big focus in China about getting students to Top universities andthat's detrimental to student growth is also detrimental to parentexpectations. I think our differences we work with the children all ourchildren will get to university, but we want to get them there confident andable to be successful and we want to make sure our parents understand the wholeprocess.
One of the differences we work in educating parents as much as childreninto what it means to have an international education and how to be successfulonce they get there. We believe that cbis that was responsible not just forgetting children through exams, but preparing them for a future life of success.
我想說(shuō)，CBIS和其他國(guó)際學(xué)校的區(qū)別也許在于，我們關(guān)注的是兒童的全面發(fā)展。在中國(guó)，很多人僅僅關(guān)注讓學(xué)生進(jìn)入大學(xué)，但我認(rèn)為，這不利于學(xué)生的成長(zhǎng)，也不利于家長(zhǎng)的期望。我認(rèn)為我們的分歧在于，我們致力于讓我們所有的孩子都能上大學(xué)，但我們同時(shí)希望，他們有信心，能夠成功，我們希望我們的父母了解整個(gè)過(guò)程。
我們工作的一個(gè)不同點(diǎn)是教育父母和孩子，讓他們明白接受?chē)?guó)際教育意味著什么，以及一旦他們接受了國(guó)際教育，如何取得成功。我們相信CBIS不僅負(fù)責(zé)讓孩子們通過(guò)考試，而且為他們將來(lái)的成功生活做好準(zhǔn)備。
作為擁有多元豐富教育背景和經(jīng)驗(yàn)的從業(yè)者，Ian Hunt校長(zhǎng)結(jié)合多年的學(xué)校管理經(jīng)驗(yàn)，為大家講述了自己對(duì)于教育的理解，相信這能夠給在教育路上充滿困惑的家長(zhǎng)帶來(lái)更多的思考和新的啟發(fā)。
