LZ的建议很好, 我们也是和孩子分析了利弊以及她要面对的困难之后, 让她自己做的决定,告诉她不论她所出什么决定, 我们都配合她. 在这期间, 她自己也咨询了她的一个从macrob毕业的老师, 看了这个老师给她回复了2封邮件后, 她还是决定去上. 另一个原因是她现在的学校是个非常非常普通的学校, 她自己也希望能换一个. 我觉得老师的回复对她作出的决定有一定的影响. 我把老师的意见贴出来, 也给大家参考一下.
第一封:
Dear XXX,
Congratulations.
ABSOLUTELY YOU MUST GO. I cannot stress this enough, but I absolutely loved it and both my little sisters went there too.
Imagine being at a school where you're not the 'odd' clever one in the classroom, but everyone is in fact challenging each other to discuss interesting ideas, get involved in projects or do activities! There are so many extra-curricular options, strong academics and is the highest performing school in the state, public or private. There is something for everyone – music, arts, sports, competitions… the list goes on. And lots of really great student-run projects too, where you will develop the leadership and management skills that will serve you for the rest of your life. And you will meet some of your best friends there too, who will almost all become highly successful people, and useful contacts.
I'm not sure what I would have done or become if I had stayed at my old school, but Mac.Rob really changed my views of myself, and what I could achieve.
Well done. Don't hesitate. Take it. Feel free to come chat to me if you have any questions :-)
Ms XXX

Dear XXX,
Don't let the amount of homework dissuade you. The amount of homework you receive will be the recommended amount – you can check your school diary for this. It's not about the quantity of work; it's about working different. What's more, think about what your goals are for the end of school, and going to Macrob will almost guarantee you get there. I know 5 out of 8 of my closest friends achieved ATARs of over 99 – this was normal for us!
Concerning the commute, this amount of travel and need to commute is entirely normal. When I was at school, I had to leave my house at 6.55am every day, and coming home 4.45-5pm was normal too. You just find yourself working smarter – reading on the train, keeping a notebook which you carry in your blazer and so on. You'll also find that there will be a tonne of other students on the train with you .........
Also, school finishes at 1.30 on Wednesdays, so this helps, but you'll find yourself staying at school for activities…because you want to!
