对于大多数人来说,上大学,选大学学校的话题都是到了高中快毕业时才开始的。然而,为孩子选择中小学校,却是很多家长早早就开始了的行动。不难想象,上哪所初中,特别是上哪所高中,可能对考大学、上大学起着一定的作用,但是在美国的大学“选秀”实践中,它却并没有绝对的影响。近几年见诸报端的美国高中排行榜,开始牵动了很多家长的神经。美国《新闻周刊》2005年6月发布的《美国最佳公立高中排行榜》是迄今为止的最新排行榜。2003年我曾以《美国最佳高中排行榜》为题,在美国《世界日报》的《世界周刊》上发表文章,对其间的关系作了初步分析。这篇文章被许多海内外媒体和网站转载。这里我先将这篇文章转发如下,接着再对新版的高中排行榜做进一步的分析讨论。
For most people, the topics of going to college and selecting colleges and universities are all started when high school graduates. However, choosing primary and secondary schools for children is an action that many parents started early. It is not hard to imagine which junior high school, especially the high school, may play a role in the college entrance examination and the college entrance examination. However, in the American university “draft” practice, it has no absolute influence. The U.S. high school rankings that appeared in newspapers in recent years began to affect the nerves of many parents. The “Best Public High School Ranking in the United States” released by the “Newsweek” magazine in June 2005 is the latest ranking so far. In 2003, I used the title of “The Best High School Ranking in the United States” to publish an article in the “World Weekly” of the “World Journal” of the United States and made a preliminary analysis of the relationship between them. This article has been reproduced by many domestic and foreign media and websites. Here I will forward this article as follows, and then further analysis of the new high school rankings.
