The primary education in our country takes the development of children's intelligence and the high score of children's interests as the primary goal; In the United States, primary education has only one purpose: to cultivate children's creativity.

2. Different attitudes towards grades

For children in China, a bad report card will put them under pressure from all sides. But in the United States, every student's year-end report card is personal, and parents will not put too much pressure on their children. Scores are far less than their abilities in the eyes of adults. The goal of most students in China is "that high score".

3. There are differences in knowledge between the two countries:

Education in China pays attention to instilling knowledge, cultivating students' respect for knowledge and authority, inheriting knowledge and building a knowledge system.

The United States pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability to use knowledge, questioning knowledge and authority, criticizing spirit and expanding and creating knowledge.

These two kinds of education express different attitudes towards knowledge, that is, the static difference between China's education and the dynamic difference between the United States, which reflects the difference of knowledge views between the two countries.

4. These two countries provide different environments for students:

American schools encourage children to do research from an early age, and cultivate their research ability, the ability to deal with problems independently, and the ability to organize sports research methods for learning materials.

However, under the restriction of exam-oriented education and the influence of traditional ideas, Chinese schools adopt a two-stage strategy of laying the foundation in the primary stage and learning in the advanced stage.

5. The curriculum of the two countries is different.

For example, foreign language learning. In China, students have only one kind of English in basic education (except majors). This is a unified choice made by the education system for all students.

In the United States, students choose much more moral education courses, including Spanish, development, Latin and so on. There are also classes in America that don't use textbooks. They are often called "family life" courses.

Courses include sewing, cooking and self-confidence. He teaches students things in life other than books, which are necessary or necessary for a person. He teaches students how to live.

6. The educational model is different from the college entrance examination system: the heuristic education in China has a drawback, that is, until the answer to a question, it induces students to find the "only answer".

The teaching methods in American schools not only guide students to understand and master the consistent correct answers of teachers, but also give students free imagination to explore the potential answers that both teachers and students don't know but exist objectively.

In China, except for a few people who don't have to look at the scores of the College Entrance Examination, the scores of the College Entrance Examination are the most important and the only admission criteria. However, in the United States, students take various exams at least once a year and fail once. It is understandable to fail twice ... so these exam results can be used as very important admission criteria.

7. The study burden is different: America takes a vacation almost once a week. But in China, weekends may be ruthlessly occupied, and even colorful holidays will be eclipsed by heavy homework.

8. Family education is different:

1) American education hours are strictly controlled, and American parents will set many rules. The older the child, the looser it is; China's parents, on the other hand, indulged in various ways when they were young, restricted them everywhere when they grew up, and even interfered with college majors and love.

2) American education pays attention to the cultivation of children's sense of responsibility, which makes American children more independent than China children.
