There is also a sharp contrast between China and the United States about fast and slow education. In 1980s, China sent people to the United States to inspect their educational methods. After the inspection, I wrote a report saying that American students can't read much, and arithmetic is in the second grade, so they have to count with their fingers. Then they think about invention every day. Moreover, in the United States, they attach great importance to subjects such as music and physical education, and despise subjects such as mathematics and physics. Moreover, they have no discipline in class and walk around the classroom. At the same time, the United States also sent people to visit China. Inspectors wrote a report saying that in China, students put their hands on their chests in class, and when teachers ask questions, they will raise their right hands. Otherwise, they won't walk around. Besides, China Students' Union has a lot of homework, and they will do it when they go home. Home is the continuation of the school. They call the students with the highest scores excellent students, while other students think that they are not excellent. This is the American impression of education in China, which is in sharp contrast with the fast and slow education in the United States and China. Since their inspection, the United States has trained many Nobel Prize winners, while China has not.
In the sharp contrast between China and the United States, we can see the advantages of this slow education in the United States. It can be said that slow education has its own advantages and characteristics. It will make students' thinking more divergent and imagination more abundant. They don't pay much attention to how much knowledge they learn in a class, but they pay great attention to the cultivation of children's thinking. In this case, children's creative ability will be stronger, but under the education of children in China, children's thinking is not very divergent and their innovation is relatively low.
In fact, slow education can be traced back to the origin of traditional education in China. Under the cultivation of slow education, children's learning pressure is not so great, their thinking is more open, and their creativity and imagination are more abundant, which may bring up a group of creative leaders in our country. On the other hand, under this education, other children may relax in their usual studies because of lack of discipline, which is also very unfavorable to these children.
