[originaltext] Chinese students in the United States are getting an earlier

Chinese students in the United States are getting an earlier start.(3)In the 1970s, a typical Chinese student in the US was there for a master’s or doctoral degree. They were then followed by students pursuing undergraduate degrees. Now, the Chinese are the largest international group in the US kindergarten-through-12th grade, or K-12, programs of study. At the Brook Hill School in Bullard, Texas, the number of Chinese students grew from six to 20 in the past six years, the maximum allowed from one foreign nation.
    One of the reasons for many Chinese students studying in US schools is to escape the college entrance examination, and the fierce competition that comes with it. The other motivation is to get prepared for US colleges.(4)More younger Chinese students choose to go to US high schools, as more parents believe that this leads to a better education and cultural training, and it is easier for their kids to master this knowledge and become more competitive.
