In China, scores have always been a sharp ruler hanging over children's heads. Use it to measure the pros and cons of children and the future of children. Now, the scoring system has been used in preschool children for a long time, and kindergartens have entrance exams, which are graded in different categories.
In the west, no matter public or private, "grading" is put an end to before the fourth grade of primary school, and there are few "homework". Instead, the teacher will arrange a small project for the children to go home and do it with their parents. For example, when my son was in kindergarten, the teacher asked the children to complete a project to protect trees in autumn with their parents. So, I took my son to pick up leaves and branches, and then came back to assemble a product. At Christmas, the children's project is to decorate the class Christmas tree with handmade products. For young children, the western educational philosophy is to abandon everything related to exams. They admire the real experience outside the textbook and pay attention to children's practical ability and collective cooperation.
Authoritative diversion system VS interactive age-wrong class
Eastern educational philosophy likes to divide students into three classes, six classes and nine classes. Primary schools are divided into different classes, and elite classes and poor students are classified separately. The result of this is usually that children have a sense of respect and inferiority from an early age, or they are cold to others. If you miss a class, you are going the wrong way. However, the wrong age placement system is widely used abroad. They will scientifically put children of different ages, sexes, family economic backgrounds, cultures and races together in proportion. Western education believes that children's growth, like plants, needs a natural and complementary environment. Similar economic, cultural, gender and age backgrounds are unfavorable to their growth. Without conflict and comparison, children's world outlook will become narrow.
Children in mixed-age classes can be familiar with various social behaviors and cultivate the quality of mutual help and friendship. In the era of more and more only children, mixed-age classes can make children feel the feeling that brothers and sisters grow up together in a big family, and also let children know how to be polite and share, so that children can get along more harmoniously.
