Recap Education Seminar 教育升学讲座:

Last Sunday Mr. Wang and Ms. Hu, the authors of 《哈佛两姐妹–素质教育与智力开发家庭教育全记录》, gave us an excellent presentation on child education and college applications. It was the first seminar at HXGNY. We are glad to hear very positive feedback from attending parents. Mr. Wang and Ms. Hu emphasized the role the family plays in a child’s success, pointed out the particular challenges Chinese families face in a foreign environment and shared with us the strategies they employed to help their kids achieve academic and social goals. They used many examples to illustrate their points. Their book has become a bestseller. Due to high demand, the books they brought were sold out. If some parents still want to purchase their book, we offer to collect the payment at the information desk in H-room this Sunday. Please contact Yanyun Liu atyanyun.liu@einstein.yu.edu. The books will be delivered the following Sunday.
