Why can the low-level basic education in the United States support the world-class higher education?
I want to analyze this problem from the different cognitive concepts of education between Chinese and Americans.

Why does the United States pay less attention to basic education than China?

In China's education, for a child, if the foundation of all subjects in primary and secondary schools is poor, it is basically labeled as "no future" by parents and teachers. Parents and teachers have basically given up their children's expectation of relying on knowledge to change their destiny. Children are naturally complacent and give up on themselves.

Therefore, it is almost an "educational consensus" for children to become talents from primary school to junior high school, high school to university, and it is difficult to achieve the goal as long as there is something wrong in this whole process.

It can be seen how important the discipline foundation of each stage is.

In American education, this "educational consensus" is relatively diluted. They see whether a child has a future, the key is to see the degree of IQ development of the child, and to see the child's hobbies and specialties. The poor learning foundation of children in primary and secondary schools is not the decisive factor affecting their further studies.

For example, a child with a poor foundation in some subjects can still go to college with other advantages.

So, in the final analysis, it is the difference between Chinese and American education systems that causes the difference in the importance of basic education to "success".

I think: China's basic education pays too much attention to comprehensiveness and ignores people's specialties. For example, junior high school students in China have to study nearly 10 courses, and they have to learn every course well before they have a chance to go to college. This is not conducive to the development of students' personality and expertise.

In this regard, China should learn from the United States. What do netizens think?
