Sending a child to a private school in the US is not a decision to be made lightly. 【F1】
According to an online resource site, the national average private school tuition fees have come up to $9,582 per year per child, which is a significant expenditure given that public schools are "free" by law.
So what makes private school education a worthwhile investment for a child’s future?
Close to a quarter of all schools in the US are private, and their primary advantage lies in the academic variety they offer. 【F2】
While public schools are subject to statewide education policies, supervision and standardized tests, private schools have more free rein over their curriculum and staffing policies.
This means that they are able to provide academic programs that may not be available in public schools, as well as and a wider variety of Advanced Placement courses.
Private schools also tend to emphasize a holistic approach to education in order to develop more well-rounded individuals. 【F3】
Their smaller student numbers make it possible for them to invest both resources and time in building in state-of-the-art facilities and developing robust extracurricular programs.
A key thing to look out for when deciding on a school is the student-teacher ratio in classrooms, as lower ratios mean fewer children in the class and thus a greater opportunity to receive attention from the teacher, promoting more active engagement and academic achievement.
A lower student-teacher ratio also enables the teachers to devote more time towards engaging with parents and keeping them up-to-date on their child’s progress, as private schools also recognize that giving a child a good education is the responsibility of both the school and the parents.
【F4】
The flexibility of private schools to adapt their curriculum to world trends and their willingness to explore specialized subjects means that they are better placed to develop children with a more global outlook
, with the hope that they will carry this mindset with them into adulthood and the leadership roles they may take on in the future. Students are encouraged to examine and address current world issues in their class work, while extracurricular activities may also include field trips and community outreach projects for students to understand their responsibility to give back to the community.
In many aspects, private schools are able to offer academic and environmental advantages that public schools cannot. 【F5】
Despite the extra costs sustained, the impact that a good school can have in the long-term development of a child’s skills, mindset and character should make a child’s education prioritizing the quality a worthy investment.
【F1】
选项
答案
根据一家在线资源网站的信息,全国范围内每个孩子平均每年上私立学校的学费已达到了9,582美元,鉴于法律规定公立学校“免学费”,因此这显然是一笔巨大的支出。
解析
①本句为复合句,包含一个非限制性定语从句和一个原因状语从句。②句首的According to…作状语,说明下文信息的来源。which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词$9,582,说明这笔钱是一笔大支出。该定语从句中又包含given that引导的原因状语从句,解释说明9,582美元是一笔巨额支出的缘故。
