There are many schools in China, with large scale and large population. China students are well-organized and disciplined. German middle schools also have a 20-minute recess for students to relax their nervous brains during class, but schools and teachers will not arrange it. Students often chat, buy things, or exercise alone, which is very casual.
Classroom: Teacher-led and Student-led
Teacher China's respect for students and students' respect for teachers are obvious. China students are very happy and always smile, which shows that learning is not a painful thing for them. Such an environment can be found to be carefully created by teachers. Compared with schools in China, in German classrooms, teachers are more like a host, leaving more time and performance opportunities for students, thus stimulating students' enthusiasm for autonomous learning.
Going to school: test decision VS subjective will
In Germany, primary school lasts only four years. After graduating from primary school, 10-year-old children must make the first choice in life-whether to go to a school preparing for college or a school preparing for vocational education. This decision is often made by parents after consulting their children. Teachers will not force children to make any choices, but will give guiding suggestions according to their usual study and performance. After the choice, the children's subsequent study life will be completely different: they will spend a lot of time learning book knowledge, or spend half of their time learning book knowledge, and the rest of their time and energy will be spent on factory observation and internship. Of course, a student's first choice is not completely immutable. If students find that their interests have changed in the middle, they can change their original intention and enter universities or factories.
There are also many problems in German education. For example, teachers are too serious and students are too strong, which leads to contradictions and conflicts in the teaching process. In Jinhua Foreign Language School, they see that students' learning process is happy and relatively relaxed, and they can also ensure high-grade teaching and colorful activities, which they think can be used for reference.
