As the semester draws to a close,
we quietly hit “send” and dropped a 10-question mini-survey into parents’ inboxes.
No word limits, no “model answers”, even room for friendly “roasts”.
又到学期收官时。
我们悄悄点下“发送”按钮，把一份 10 道题的电子小调研发给家长们的收件箱。
没有字数限制，没有“标准答案”，甚至允许“吐槽”。
The goal? To hear, in first-person clarity, from the people who know the children best—
“How was your kid really doing at UISZ these past six months?”
Which academic leap first caught their eye?
Which House event is still being replayed at the dinner table?
What tiny detail on the bus route makes a mum feel at ease?
Is Well-being a slogan on the wall or a daily action they can actually feel?
目的只有一个：听听真正懂孩子的那些人，用第一视角告诉我们——
“这半年，你的娃在 UISZ 到底过得好不好？”
学术进度是否肉眼可见？
哪一次 House 活动被反复提起？
校车几点发出最让家长安心？
Well-being 是挂在墙上的标语，还是落在细节里的动作？
We’ll release three consecutive issues that amplify parents’ original voices—
unedited, unfiltered, and fully bilingual—so everyone can see how “growth” translates into everyday moments on campus.
我们将连续 3 期，把家长们的原声放大。
不修饰、不滤镜，只用双语呈现，让更多人看见“成长”在日常生活里的真实模样。
