上海一些顶级国际学校给学生们吃变质食物 [美国媒体]

reddit网友:在很多情况下,称学校为“国际学校”只是向中国父母收取高额学费的一种方式,他们希望通过告诉那些在星巴克喝咖啡的朋友,自己家的小凯文去了小区内最好的学校以此让自己有面子。他们迎合了那些有一心想出人头地的中国中产阶级的高人一等的心态

In a lot of instances calling a school an 'international school' is just a way of charging sky-high fees to Chinese parents who want to gain face by telling their latte-sipping friends in Starbucks that little Kevin goes to the best school in the 小区. They cater to the one-upmanship prent among the aspirational Chinese middle-class. Hopefully this is a wake-up call for people that paying top dollar to send little Kevin to an international school will not guarantee him a nutritious lunch. I would like to see a full investigation carried out into the headmaster because this incident stinks of money being skimmed away from the school canteen's budget as well as cost-cutting exercises.

在很多情况下,称学校为“国际学校”只是向中国父母收取高额学费的一种方式,他们希望通过告诉那些在星巴克喝咖啡的朋友,自己家的小凯文去了小区内最好的学校以此让自己有面子。他们迎合了那些有一心想出人头地的中国中产阶级的高人一等的心态。希望这对那些花费高额美元将自己的孩子送到国际学校的父母来说是一个警钟,这种学校连一顿营养午餐都保证不了。我希望看到对校长进行全面调查,因为这个事件属于动用学校食堂的预算以及削减成本。

Concordia is one of the International schools involved. It is a "real" international school.

协同国际学校是事件所涉及的国际学校之一。是一所“真正的”国际学校。

As far as I am aware expired food was only found at SMIC. If by involved you mean also use some subsidiary of Compass to provide catering then yes most schools in Shanghai are involved. But the real international schools have external audits of their food providers so it's very unlikely this happened at any of them.

据我所知,只在中芯国际学校找到了过期的食物。如果你说的“涉及”是指也使用了康帕斯公司(Compass)的一些子公司来提供餐饮,那么没错,上海的大多数学校都涉及到了。但真正的国际学校对其食品供应商会有外部审核,因此这种情况发生的可能性很小。

Concordia tossed all the food in the kitchen away. Who knows if the had rotten food or not. Obviously the "real" international schools external audits were not that effective.
Your use of "real" to classify international schools is delusional. Those real international school have had several sexual assault cases where teachers had to be dismissed. You're giving them a pass because they have foreign teachers or nice buildings or high tuition for some reason. I can tell you from personal experience those schools are not better managed.

协同国际学校把厨房里的所有食物都扔掉了。谁知道被扔的食物是不是烂掉了。显然,这些“真正的”国际学校的外部审核并不那么有效。你用“真正”二字来对国际学校进行分类简直是妄想。那些真正的国际学校已经发生过几起性侵犯案件,有些教师都被解雇。因为他们有外籍教师、漂亮的教学大楼或是出于某种原因的高额学费,你就放过他们不追究了?我可以用个人经验告诉你,那些学校的管理也不怎么样。

This is why Chinese people don't trust their own supply chains

这就是为什么中国人不信任自己的(食物)供应链。

This is just from my limited experience but to my knowledge there are two kinds of international school.

以下出自我个人有限的经历,但据我了解,这里有两种国际学校。

The first are the real international schools you'll need an actual teaching certificate to work there (plus usually several years of experience) and the students all have foreign passports.
The second are the "international" schools which take in local Chinese students and run from all out scams with an enrollment of 99% Chinese students and 95% Chinese staff to good establishments with a more international ratio of foreign students and staff to Chinese students and staff.

第一种是真的国际学校,你需要真的教师资格证才能在那工作(通常还需要数年的工作经验),而所有的学生都有外国护照。第二种"国际学校"招收的是当地的中国学生,99%的中国学生和95%的中国职工,加上一些外籍的学生与职工来调和所谓的国际化比例。

Last year I worked in an """""""international""""""""" school and it basically just seemed to be a dumping ground for fuerdai. The admins were all Chinese most of the teachers spoke no english hell I'd say half of the kids spoke little if no english by the time they graduated.

去年我在一所XX国际学校任职,它基本上就是一个充斥着富二代的垃圾场。管理层全是中国人,大部分老师都不会说英语,我必须说一大半的学生在毕业时只会一星半点的英语甚至完全不会。

I ended up looking up the international schools in Shanghai out of curiosity and actually a lot of the schools which use Compass are legitimate international schools with international curriculums. Dulwich and Harrow both use them and the Concord school mentioned in the article also does pretty well.
It seems more like some people were getting sizeable kickbacks from this company.

我出于好奇查找了一些在上海的国际学校,确实很多由康帕斯供餐的学校是真的有国际化课程的国际学校。德威中学和哈罗公学也会聘用他们,文中提到的浦东协和国际学校(Concord school)也是一样。看来有人吃了这家公司相当大的回扣啊。

Re some comments I this thread: Real international schools In China only are allowed to have students with foreign passports attend. They may however though have a side program for local students. All teachers are required to hold teaching licences In their home countries. They are also paid their salary In their home country and in that currency not RMB.

回答我的一些评论:在中国,真正的国际学校只允许有外国护照的学生就读。但是,他们可能会为当地学生提供辅助课程。所有教师都必须在本国持有教学执照。他们工资也是以本国货币支付的,而不是人民币。

Because of shit like this this shit happens when you are a Chinese. No matter how many millions of RMB you make your kids still eat rotten food

因为(中国)有这样的烂事,所以若你是中国人就会碰到这种烂事。无论你多有钱,你的孩子仍然会吃到腐烂的食物

Everything in China is "international" even the toilet paper.

中国的一切都是“国际化的”,甚至厕纸都是。

Ah fair enough I only have one family's view on SMIC to go on. I hear mixed things about YCIS - glad the student you know eventually had found the right school for them.
Definitely looks like the parents at SMIC are very on it which is good - like you say credit to them! And for sure it's happening at other schools (Concordia for a start...).

啊,说得有理,我只了解一个家庭对SMIC的观点。我听到有关YCIS的多种不同说法 - 很高兴你认识的学生最终为自己找到了合适的学校。
绝对是因为那些孩子上中芯国际学校的父母们对此事相当关注,这很好 - 就像你说的那样,归功于他们!而且在其他学校肯定也在发生同样的情况(Concordia只是个开始......)。
