What is education like in developed countries in the United States? First of all, each school prepares its own syllabus, formulates its own curriculum system, announces it to the public, and enrolls students freely. The choice of students, whether for schools or majors, depends on their own free will, not the arrangement of parents and teachers. You can re-choose your major or even school after entering school, and it is very common to transfer to another department or school. Since I like it, I will study spontaneously. Examination is just one of the examination methods. Therefore, from the beginning of elementary school in the United States, students are required to form study groups according to their interests, do projects that we adults often know, and learn to use the library to consult their own materials under the guidance of teachers, so as to form the relationship between the leaders of study groups and teammates, so as to be ready to present them to students in other groups in class at any time. Further, students prepare their own cameras, go into the actual place to observe and participate under the guidance of the teacher, and then write a small paper. Topics for junior pupils include: architectural features of Chinatown where China people live, and differences between China dim sum and American dim sum. The topics of senior students include: analyzing the similarities and differences between China culture and American culture. Teachers called "promoters" are only responsible for organizing and stimulating interest.

In the test, American schools put 60% to 70% of the weight of weekly, monthly and semester tests on the creativity of these papers written by individuals. Of course, with the growth of students' age, students are gradually required to strengthen argumentation, including academic indicators. But anyone who dares to quote others' views comprehensively will be laughed at by the whole class as lacking imagination and creativity. Plagiarism is the most despicable behavior. Any viewpoint should be your own, brand-new, or critical of others. This is the so-called subjective test in education. Of course, about 30% of the exams are about memorizing knowledge. We use papers like ours, so-called objective tests.

American exams are a comprehensive test of students' creativity and comprehensive ability. The exam-oriented education implemented by most schools in China is to examine students' mastery of books and whether they can remember the knowledge in books. Therefore, in all kinds of academic competitions in the world, most American children are not as good as China children, so they can only honestly follow China children's ass. In many more creative and imaginative world competitions, American children's creativity has attracted worldwide attention, while China's children can only look at attractive awards and swallow their saliva. It is not without China people winning the Nobel Prize. Yang Zhenning, a famous physicist, won the prize in the United States. Why?

An American netizen asked me, What's the difference between American students and China students? I didn't know how to answer him at that time, but now that I think about it, there are really many differences between American students and China students. At least I can think of the following 10 points:

1. admitted to the university

In order to graduate from college, American students begin to study hard when they go to college. China students study hard in order to be admitted to universities, but once they go to universities, they will not study hard. (Note: Universities in the United States are "combining leniency with severity", while universities in China are "combining leniency with severity". )

Ask the teacher questions.

In class, American students deliberately ask the teacher questions in order to pretend to understand. American students also think that sitting in disorder can better communicate with teachers. China students pretended to understand and didn't ask the teacher questions. China students also think that sitting up straight is out of respect for teachers.

3. Solutions to problems

If the teacher gives the same question: "It's 12 o'clock sharp, and the hour hand and the minute hand just coincide. How long will it take for the hour hand and the minute hand to coincide again? " As soon as the teacher's words fell, the American students responded by pulling up their wrist watches in unison, and using this actually clever "stupid way" to see when the hour hand and the minute hand can overlap again. And all the China students present must immediately take out pens and paper, bury themselves in a list of formulas, and begin to calculate.

4. Education mode

American students are educated by herding sheep, which is very easy. Therefore, most people like to be whimsical and have extremely rich imagination. The education method of China students is "cramming", which is very hard. They are not afraid of sea tactics, but of the "brain teaser" problem, because many times they really can't turn the corner.

5. Mathematical mind

American students have never had a good mathematical mind and have to rely on electronic calculators for a long time. China students are all mathematical geniuses with first-class oral and mental arithmetic skills. If China students tell American students that we can do four-digit multiplication and division without calculators, or even square root with our bare hands, American students will certainly look at China students like the long noses of lying puppets.

6. pocket money

The parents of American students said, "We have to inform you that your pocket money has exceeded the budget this month! Go ahead, clean the garage, brush the swimming pool or mow the grass in the garden. We can give you more money to spend. " The parents of China students said, "Have you run out of pocket money? If you have no money, go to the study drawer and get it yourself. "

7. Travel

American students said to their parents, "I have saved enough money." I am going to travel! " China students said to their parents, "I'm going to travel, please give me some money. "

8. girlfriend

American students take girls home and proudly say to their parents, "This is my girlfriend!" " China students face their depressed parents with a pried diary and say guiltily, "I don't have puppy love." ..."

9. New racing car

American students like to brag about themselves: "Look, I assembled this new racing car myself!" " China students like to boast about their elders: "Look! This is a new racing car that my father bought for me! "

10. Make your own decisions

The parents of American students said to them, "Dear, you have grown up. You should make your own decisions!" " Don't always rely on us to give you advice. China students' parents shouted at them, "How presumptuous! Are your wings hard? Dare to turn a deaf ear to our words? Tell you, even if you have a beard, you are still our son! Have to listen to us! "
