Chapter 1285 School Districts and Higher Education Issues

"The number of people online on MOOC has exceeded one million... This really seems to be a network miracle."

Elsa suddenly saw a report and was amazed.

"This is nothing. It shows the development of the school district and makes our research more revolutionary. It also proves that people now recognize the education of the school district."

Catherine was also looking at something. At this time, she said this.

"But MOOC is really good."

Elsa rarely complained about Catherine, but praised her.

"Does this need to be said?"

Of course Catherine was very proud...

The development trend of the school district can be said to be smooth.

After the mooc was launched, many people praised it.

As an online course with a heavyweight effect, MOOC has attracted many people's attention.

This is definitely a way to get the best education possible.

But speaking of it, the school district's greatest contribution is not in education.

In the development of various research fields, this is where the school district leads the outside world.

The school district also provided many papers and suggestions with reference value to the United States.

Just like the one Catherine is looking at right now.

This is "On the Relationship between Higher Education and Family Conditions".

Many theories about higher education believe that children from wealthy families have more advantages.

But a new study from Ark University suggests that children from wealthy families may be at a particular disadvantage. The study found that the more parents invest in their children's higher education, the lower their children's grades.

Ark University is required to conduct research, internship or similar experience once a month.

Among them, some students have conducted research on tuition fees and grades, and have received support from professors.

"The education model of the school district is far away from the outside world. This difference is understandable...probably because of the students' sense of crisis..."

Catherine murmured.

Hamilton's study pointed out that the students with the worst grades in college are often those whose parents provide a lot of financial support and do not have to worry about the expenses during college.

This study was just published in the "American Sociological Review..." in January this year, titled "Family Economic Support: Help or Resistance?",

The American Sociological Review is the official journal of the American Sociological Association...

Professor Hamilton was the professor who supported the students in their research.

The data he used came from three American "Long-Term Tracking Survey" databases... used to collect information on students at various educational stages as they grow older), and he investigated three important data: "Tracking of Bachelor's Degrees and Above"

The survey... Freshman Tracking Survey... and the National College Student Financial Support Tracking Survey... After controlling for factors such as the socioeconomic status of the families being tracked, Hamilton compared the family financial support received by college students with their grades.

The economic conditions of a family are not only closely related to the financial support provided by parents to their children, but also to other factors that affect their children's college studies, such as allowing children to receive a better education and have greater expectations for higher education, etc.

The result of her study on various four-year colleges is that the greater the financial support provided by parents, the lower the children's grades.

This finding supports the idea that financial support from parents increases "moral hazard" - students can choose whether to study hard without having to worry about tuition fees.

At highly competitive schools, the impact of financial support from parents on student performance is lower (but the impact still exists). At private universities, foreign universities, and other expensive universities, students with financial support from their parents usually have grades that are

lowest.

Of course, school districts have their own unique characteristics.

In the school district, grades are everything. When your ability is not up to standard, no matter how rich your financial support is, it is impossible to maintain the opportunity to continue studying in the school district.

——If once deemed unsuitable, even if the performance in the entrance test is genius, the student will be expelled.

In a sense, the school district can even be regarded as a somewhat cruel law of the jungle.

The fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated.

For research, Hamilton led the students to search the school district's information from the beginning of enrollment to later years.

When the school district was first established, there was a similar phenomenon, but when the withdrawal mechanism was started, this phenomenon quickly disappeared.

At Ark University, which has stricter regulations, students have become elites.

Half of the graduates of Ark University entered the school district through blood transfusion, while the other half entered the outside society.

However, among the students who entered the outside world, 20% returned to the school district to find a job after working for one year, another 10% chose to return after working for three years, and the other 10% chose to return after working for more than five years.

To return, therefore, there are about 30% of Ark University’s college students in the outside world.

But in the investigation, many of these people hold important positions and have become top figures in society.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who have problems of this or that kind.

But for most Americans, school districts are just an elusive existence, and their success has no reference.

However, in ordinary universities, this is a big killer.

This study by Hamilton found a positive correlation between parental financial support and graduation rates over the past five years (this conclusion was still obtained even after controlling for other factors). Dr. Hamilton gave her explanation: This

This is because students who receive less financial support from their parents have a harder time affording tuition. If they cannot pay the tuition, they will naturally not be able to graduate. As for student loans, they may not allow everyone to survive smoothly.

During the one-year study on sugar, Professor Hamilton also conducted a qualitative study (aimed at seeking explanations, explanations, and answers to "why" for a certain phenomenon) based on this quantitative study. This

The study focused on female college students in the dormitories of a public university in the Midwestern United States. The results of this qualitative study are consistent with the results of Hamilton's previous research on a national database.

During the research process, many parents who provided more financial support for their children were quite shocked, or as she said, quite angry when they learned that their daughters' grades were not satisfactory.

In this qualitative study, Dr. Hamilton also discovered another phenomenon, and she believes this phenomenon is also common across the United States: Not only do students with the lowest scores have strong support from their parents, but their parents rarely discuss it seriously with them.

As a student, you should bear the responsibility. From this point of view, there are ways to mitigate or even eliminate the negative effects of parental financial support: parents should clearly set out their expectations for children’s grades and graduation, regardless of the financial support provided by their parents.

Big or small, this applies to all.

The problem is that for most parents who can provide sufficient financial support for their children, their academic expectations for their children are often not high - students from such families usually regard going to college as a great experience, and

It is not a difficulty that is in danger of failing and requires hard work to overcome.

This problem also exists in the school district - District 1.

The first school district came in exchange for benefits. The atmosphere in the school district is not bad, but speaking of it... this place is used for..., but not for learning...

"Speaking of which, in the future, I also want Aaron and Alicia to study in the school district."

Catherine thought of her brother and sister.

"They? Are you sure your mother will agree?"

Elsa had a different view at this time.

"Probably, who knows, but it's better than doing nothing, right?"

Catherine hopes to let Aaron and Alicia enter her school, but Catherine needs to find a way to convince her mother, or think of another suitable method.

——Emma probably won’t agree to letting Aaron and Alicia live in school since childhood.

But Catherine felt it was inappropriate to accompany him to study.

In the school district, elementary schools and junior high schools allow parents to accompany them, but they can also choose to let the school take full responsibility.

"Mom, why don't you just move to Eden? After class every day, we will take Aaron and Alicia home..."

Although he is not yet in elementary school, he is old enough for kindergarten.

Dolls should be picked up from a young age.

The biggest impression that Dr. Hamilton's entire paper left on Catherine was probably "If you don't push it, it just won't work."

People are born lazy, and the school district is a good weapon to criticize laziness.

It's like many second-generation soldiers were sent to the worst military areas for training by me, just because these people wanted to "force" the other side.

In Catherine's view, her younger brothers and sisters certainly need to do the same...

This is for your own good...

"Wow wow wow..."

On the other side, Emma was so busy that Aaron and Alicia were suddenly so scared that they started crying...

A word of advice: Never believe in love!

There is one more update!!~!
