U.S. Immigration focuses on U.S. Education: Children studying abroad overseas experience a transition from initial chaos to a bit of order, with long-distance phone calls starting to flow back home. Several parents in the country exchange information as previously agreed. The issues can be summarized as follows.
The language pressure on the children has significantly increased. All courses are taught in a foreign language, and with the limited foreign language proficiency of the domestic students, they simply cannot keep up with the pace. As a result, several students collaborate, some recording lectures, while others use their phones to capture the board work. Back in their dorms, they divide tasks to organize and compile different sections, relying on temporary study groups for mutual assistance.
What troubles parents the most is the children's living arrangements and the safety of their belongings. Some children do not manage their passports and credit cards well; if lost, the process of replacement is cumbersome and time-consuming, affecting their normal study life. Even more troubling, one child encountered police questioning because a large sum of money had inexplicably flowed through his bank card, of which he was completely unaware. He arrived at the police station and, using his limited foreign language skills, finally clarified the situation. It turned out to be a scam operation conducted online, where the stolen funds were transferred through real-name accounts, often using bank cards opened online. This student's online banking account had been compromised in this manner.
Abroad, many challenges that are not encountered domestically, and whose answers do not require much effort to find, have now become obstacles that they must overcome. Children growing up in such an environment are no longer just students confined to university campuses; perhaps this is another form of growth.
