Comparison of Chinese and American Education Systems: From Rigid to Free
I have lived in the United States for 30 years, attended many parent-teacher conferences, and have a deep understanding of the American education system. This paper will compare the educational systems between China and the United States to help readers better understand the advantages and disadvantages of the two educational methods.

Strict education in China

Education in China pays attention to the central unified planning, and local governments are responsible for its implementation, so we have a unified teaching material and college entrance examination system. Its rigor makes students work hard, but there are also problems in cramming education, which may limit students' creativity and independent thinking ability.

Free American education

American education is more designed and implemented by local governments, and the central government provides guidance. Students have more room to play freely and cultivate independent thinking and practical ability from childhood, but it may also lead to the lack of moral, intellectual and physical education for students.

Lack of unified textbooks

There is no unified textbook in the United States, but there are private college entrance examination systems such as SAT and ACT. This situation may lead to students' incomplete knowledge system and need to acquire knowledge through other channels.

Top universities in the world

Although the United States occupies seven seats in the global university rankings, we cannot ignore the advantages and disadvantages of its education system. Generally speaking, the American education system can stand the test, but we should also learn from China's education and try to find the most suitable education method.
