Why Do Dr Du?
Each year at High our teachers have to negotiate with students who are attending coaching colleges, principally for assistance in mathematics and English. Coaching, as opposed to tutoring, does not offer one-on-one personalised instruction. Consequently, parents are paying for a series of lessons or a course of instruction in a group. Typically, at all year levels, coaching colleges offer to teach clients in groups of varying sizes their year level syllabus in advance of their class teacher at school. For more precocious students, the course might be from a year ahead in the same stage or even higher. To increase student participation levels, homework for coaching college instruction is routinely set.
The presumed benefits of the coaching college experience are twofold. First, it is claimed that students are more confident when attending regular classes at school because they are familiar with the work being presented. Second, parents feel that they have given their sons the best competitive advantage that they could provide for them.
However, negative effects are experienced by teachers. They report that coached students quite often become inattentive and attempt to distract others because they are confident that they already understand the concepts of the topic being introduced and can do the operations required to solve problems. Too often, students even recount that their homework was incomplete due to the demanding deadlines and strict compliance imposed by coaching colleges on the completion of their set work. Competing demands by instructors result in confusion and stress.
The professional competence of teachers is also assailed by the assumption that students need to have everything taught twice. In addition, students become restricted in their ability to choose how they will spend their out of school time because of the regular routine of attending classes after school. There is an imbalance inherent in attending a coaching college because one or two subjects or courses are occupying much more of a student’s time than usual and, unless extra time is allocated during the week, will detract from time spent on other subjects. In some cases an undue financial burden is placed on families trying to keep their sons in regular coaching on top of other commitments. The cost can sometimes have negative financial effects on the school, too.
When considering accessing professional assistance for your son, please consider whether the intended learning benefit is prospective or reflective. Do you really want your son to be exposed to content ahead of his peers or would you want him to identify areas of weakness and do extra work with a professional tutor to strengthen them? My strong advice is that while remedial tutoring one-on-one on an occasional basis as needs arise can be effective, class-based coaching offering preview pedagogy is limited value for money.

昨天Sydney Boy High School校长在学校周报上发表的一篇文章 。
“while remedial tutoring one-on-one on an occasional basis as needs arise can be effective, class-based coaching offering preview pedagogy is limited value for money.”这个校长认为一对一针对孩子弱点的补习更有效，而大班制的杜博士的补习，有点对不起你花的钱。
有兴趣的大神可以帮忙翻译一下吗？

这不是砸补习班的饭碗吗.

孩子上了中学一直在纠结补习学校的事，一直在想要不要补？什么时候补？
错过7年级，8年级，等到10年级，他跟我说来不及了，他一直在混，我在拖。不是牛蛙，补习社你不二选择。
虽然住在Hurstville附近，但一直不敢选择杜博士。作业多，难，不是牛蛙，这些都让我们望而却步
11年级在选课时，才幡然醒悟，如果不补，连3U的数学都选不了。对于在中学混了这多年，只能是一对一的补习，还好他不抗拒，还要哄着他完成老师的作业。
补习起码让孩子有更多的选择。

不会的，澳洲学校教的可能过于浅，不深入，很多精英学校学生吃不饱。他们有能力掌握超前的知识，这些补习学校就是针对他们这样的孩子的。
可是我的孩子不是

个人觉得补习用处不大,当然因人而异.

为什么要选读博士
在中学，每一年我们都会商讨关于学生补习的问题，尤其是那些补习英语和数学的学生。补习是和家教相反的，它们不提供一对一的个人化的指导。 而是父母花钱以组或者班级的形式来进行辅导。典型地，在各个年级，补习学校给不同水平的学生提供不同的辅导，这些辅导通常都是超前的。对于更据天分的学生，这些补习可能更超前。同时，为了提高孩子的成绩，补习学校会给他们固定的作业。

补习学校是把双刃剑。首先，学校和父母都认为学生在日校的学习会更自信，因为日校老师教的东西他们已经会了，其次学生的父母会认为他们给了自己孩子他们能给的最好的竞争优势。
然而，日校的老师也认为补习学校有很多负面影响。首先，日校老师报告说他们发现补习过的学生上课多数不能专心，并且扰乱其他同学，因为他们已经学会了那些知识。其次，补习过的学生不能按时完成日校作业因为他们需要更多时间来完成补习学校的作业。这种现象会增加孩子的困惑和压力。

日校老师的专业能力也受到挑战，他们认为他们感觉学生在学习两遍同样的知识。除此之外，学生的课余生活也受到限制，因为他们需要花大量时间在补习学校里。这样的补习造成了本质上时间分配的不平衡，因为学生花费大量的时间在学习重复的科目（我想是英文和数学），而其他科目（我想可能是科学，艺术，运动等等）的时间会大大减少。某些情况下，补习也会加重家庭的财政压力，这些压力可能对整个家庭造成很多负面结果。
当你想给你的孩子提供专业帮助的时候，请综合考虑各个方面。 你真的想让你的孩子仅仅比他们的同学提前学习知识，还是想请专业的家教来一对一的针对孩子的弱点进行补习，我强烈建议，在某些场合下，一对一的补习会更高效，而补习学校提供的超前学习并没有什么价值，尤其浪费金钱。

第一次在网上翻译，希望能够吧意思表达好了，如果有困惑的地方，请给我留言。
我觉得校长说的很好，但是他们反对的2点正式我们很多华人家长所赞同的。
1.补习学校能提高孩子的自信
2.家长认为他们给了孩子他们能给的最好的竞争优势。
我最好的朋友就给我说过同样的话，她说她就要把孩子教的什么都会，这样孩子到学校会很自信。
校长说的补习的后果确实在中学小学里面都非常普遍。我小孩的好朋友就是，上课说话，不听讲，从来不完成家庭作业。其实那是个很好的孩子，聪明，有礼貌。但是我孩子觉得她总是打扰她，慢慢都不喜欢她了。不过我觉得这些习惯真的对孩子不好。

多谢翻译，就是题目：不应该译成“为什么读博士”，而是为什么去杜博士补习？
注解一下：杜博士补习学校在南区高中补习学校中非常有名，很多在其他区的学生也不远千里来补习，一个班据说有50个学生。SBH的学生在里面补习的也很多，所以校长就拿这个著名的补习学校来举例。
评论
歪个楼，杜博士50人一个班，收费多少？
评论
超前学习让孩子在学校什么都会，不认真学习这点确实不好
评论
yaer 12 3u $106 per 3hours
4u $128 per 3hours
评论
都是这样过来的。 一直探讨着要不要补，何时补， 到了11年级发现比人家晚了好多。 还好，你孩子听话， 自己要求补习。
评论
其实让孩子补习的家长也是各种犹豫、身不由己、万不得已啊。
评论
我始终赞成要补就一对一的补，针对弱点释疑解惑，比什么都强。大班补习是浪费时间。
评论
家教请不起
评论
多谢大侠！
评论
杜博士的作业有多少?教材好吗?
评论
真贵啊，这只是数学，如果补多几科的话，是要父母破产的节凑啊
评论
3u 数学一般是12页， 4u数学是15页每课之后。 要是学3u和4u是一周两次课。
教材是自己编的是偏难
为什么一班50 个人还要去呢， 大家都说说
评论
一般到中学后几年级开始补课？补哪几门呢？
评论
有人说：在这个班上是不是都是精英学生？所以在杜博士补习学校的排名，可以反映在HSC上排名，这样考HSC更有把握，是这样吗？这个道理在叶老师补习学校同样适用。
评论
日校不给力，只有补习了。
评论
Dr du 的学习教材和作业都是补习学校内部材料吗?
外面能买到吗?
评论
一周两次的话，一个礼拜就是256了，太贵了
评论
这么贵
评论
一对一肯定更有效。
但是也看孩子本身。
课堂教育， 大班也有大班的乐趣。。
评论
俺家小耗子就喜欢大班补习，可以听听玩玩，想听就听，不想听就发会儿呆；下课还可以跟同学聊聊天。他说一对一补习要一直集中注意力，脑子太累了。
