Education cannot be divorced from national conditions. British netizens who have seen this documentary commented that China's educational methods are suitable for developing countries such as China, which has a large population, limited resources and limited opportunities.
Why is there such a fierce "acclimatization" reaction when Mr. China is exported to British high schools? Is it really so unbearable for "Chinese education" to meet British "Xiong Haizi"? In view of these problems, Mr. Zhang zhen, a senior planning consultant of Zhejiang Xintong's study in the British port, will lead us to understand the differences between Chinese and English education and explore the documentary The Secret Behind. ...
Besides, apart from Britain, what are the differences between Chinese and American education? Let's listen to what China students studying in the United States have to say.
Qu Yilan, who left Beijing for high school in new york in the next semester, is now a junior at Xishi Branch of new york University. She said: "In high schools in China, teachers use whips to catch up with their studies, and sometimes they don't know who they are studying for. In America, we tend sheep, and nobody cares if we don't study or hand in our homework. The school will not organize a college entrance examination review for you, and learning is your own business. " Qu Yilan believes that education in China is conducive to restraining children with poor awareness, while education in the United States is conducive to cultivating elites. "It's hard to say which kind of education is better. It depends on the individual. "
Versace and Qu Yilan feel similar. She comes from Nanjing Foreign Language School and studied in high school in America for three years. She believes that China pays more attention to basic education, and every student will receive a systematic and comprehensive basic education in junior and senior high schools, with a solid foundation in arts and sciences. "American education pays more attention to giving full play to students' personal advantages, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and giving students more learning opportunities suitable for individuals. "
American college entrance standards are diversified. College students have high autonomy, which depends not only on their academic performance, but also on their participation in social practice and other aspects. High school grades are almost as important as the SAT.
Qu Yilan said that from the ninth grade (equivalent to the third grade of junior high school), the entrance examination scores are weighted by multiple indicators, including attendance (10%), usual homework (30%) and various examination scores (60%). The teacher keeps detailed records of every class, every homework and every exam.
In order to get a high score in the SAT, she attended a remedial class for three months in the summer vacation. "The school counselor will recommend many reference books to us and do various exercises by ourselves," she said. In addition, she also participates in the math team and drum team in her spare time and volunteers in nursing homes and kindergartens.
Katie, who studied at the Upper East Side Public High School in Manhattan and now holds a master's degree in the School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Columbia University, thinks that American high school students look relaxed and have less test pressure than China students, but they are not.
"It really depends on everyone, and students who want to enter a prestigious school are also very tired. In addition to keeping the academic performance at the forefront of the grade, I got high marks in the SAT, and I also participated in various musical instruments, sports and art activities, held leadership positions in various societies, and actively participated in volunteer activities at ordinary times. If you can get a good ranking in various competitions, or have internship experience in international institutions such as the United Nations or Goldman Sachs (investment bank), you can be in a favorable competitive position. "
Michelle Schneider is a teacher in a public school in new york. She thinks that the mountain of homework will make American children feel depressed and even tired of learning. High school is the most challenging period for American students, and children need to spend more time studying to cope with the upcoming college entrance examination and application.
"I think American students may not be able to stand going directly to China school, and their grades may not keep up."
These are the personal experiences of China students studying in the United States.
Finally, let's go back to the theme of the article-the debate over the educational methods between China and Britain triggered by the ——bbc Chinese teaching documentary "Are Our Children Strong enough?" Bian Xiao, who is studying in Hangzhou Xintong, wants to say that we can't decide whether education between China and Britain is right or wrong, but we can encourage children to try more learning experiences and feel the British educational style.
