Moral: Put charity into practice.
Schools in China also have charity activities, most of which are for children to donate money and visit, but in foreign countries, it is completely different, and schools will try their best to implement charity.
For example, once, Roger and his classmates were going to donate money. He and his classmates picked some ordinary small stones at home, spent the whole morning decorating them, and then sold the decorated things. No matter how much they sell, they will donate the money to charity.
It is more meaningful for children to create wealth with their own hands and then donate the money than to donate it directly with their parents' money.
Wisdom: Develop reading habits from childhood.
The curriculum of overseas primary schools is mainly reading, and there is not much homework to write. The only homework that needs parents' signature is to complete a certain amount of reading. When Roger was in kindergarten and elementary school, he would go to the library to borrow 2-3 books he was interested in every week and read them all.
After primary school, the school will issue homework lists to parents and students, in which reading is a daily task, and parents must also sign the homework list to prove that the child has indeed completed the task.

Including the titles you read every day, did you read them yourself, with others, or did your parents read them to him?
In addition, the methods of teaching English in overseas primary schools are completely different from those in China. In China, grammar, memorizing words and dictation are the main ways to learn English, while overseas, reading is the main way to teach English. In short, China teaches English.
Writing classes in primary schools are also quite interesting. Children usually communicate with teachers in the form of letters. Teachers won't mind too much if there are spelling mistakes in the letter. The teacher mainly cares about your content and logic.

The biggest difference between overseas primary schools and domestic primary education system is that the curriculum of overseas primary schools pays more attention to helping children learn the ability of independent research and analysis. In their science class, they will put celery in different colors of ink, let the children observe what will happen to celery for a while, and then make a video to describe the phenomenon.
Roger uses the computer to look up information himself.

Schools will also cultivate students' ability to do scientific research projects from an early age. For example, the teacher will give students a name, let them go back and check the information themselves, and then complete the introduction and introduce it in front of the whole class.
After teaching and training in the school, Roger's learning initiative is really high. He will take the initiative to read books after school every day, and he will take the initiative to explore areas of interest to him.
Roger is very interested in the universe. He will look up the information himself. He also created an M-class planet, set its autobiography and revolution, and made a PPT for us to see. Similarly, he is interested in baseball. He knows the rules of baseball like the back of his hand. Our parents don't know how he knows so much.
Body: Ensure daily exercise time.
Roger's primary school attaches great importance to sports. Among all kinds of extracurricular activities, the school strongly recommends that he can choose a sport. Because exercise can best exercise children's willpower, leadership and teamwork spirit, Roger chose swimming.
Of course, they also have their own sports meeting, but the most important thing in their sports meeting is not the competition, but the children playing happily together.
Beauty: Choose fields related to your interests.
Besides swimming, Roger's second extracurricular activity is the violin. He also attended the school concert, and the children formed a decent band together, which was particularly interesting ~

Because Roger went abroad early, the so-called collision between Chinese and western cultures did not happen to him. When he first entered kindergarten, he knew almost nothing about English, but after three months of silence, he was able to communicate and speak like a local.
At the same time, unlike in China, foreign teachers only teach one grade. Their classroom is fixed and decorated according to the teacher's preference. Students are scattered and reorganized every academic year. After graduating from primary school, they will know almost all the teachers and classmates in the school.
Such frequent contact with strange teachers and classmates has had a very positive impact on Roger's social ability. The child used to be a little introverted, but now he is not afraid of life. It is quite unexpected that he can be natural and graceful in the face of any stranger.
As the saying goes, at the age of eight, primary school is the initial stage when a child's character begins to form gradually. Education at this time is very important for children's future growth. China's basic education is extremely advanced, but if you want to tap children's potential and make them grow up happily, foreign education may be more suitable.
