Different Education Between China And A
Different Education Between China And America
Have you ever thought about the question: that why Chinese students need to sit straight and being silent during classes? But American students can have the class outside, sitting on the green grass and enjoying the blue sky and sunshine. And there are many reports or news segments talking about the differences between Chinese and American education. As the result, I want to compare and contrast the two different systems between China and America.
In China, the classroom is a place that is very serious and formal. What you should do is just sit in the classroom and listen to your teacher, taking your notes silently. But during the class in America, it is viable. Students in America’s classroom do not just listen. They can discuss to their teacher or classmates. And Chinese students have full day classes. And they do not have the chance to change the time of their studying and they must abide by the arrangement from school. AS Chinese student Yue Peizhou described his typical day, which Schuylkill Valley students were surprised to hear is significantly longer than their day. “They usually get up at 6 a.m. and get to school about 7 a.m., he said, they have classes and then a two-hour lunch, where sometimes we nap. Then we have more classes, and usually we stay at school doing homework until 10 p.m.” (Connor, Erinn no page) Chinese students have much homework to do. They do not have the time to relax or do something they like.
China and America are very different in the concept of education and knowledge. China pays more attention in developing the intellectual of students. It is can be said “Academic excellence is deeply rooted in Chinese traditional culture as is the belief in the benefits of education and hard work.”(Yan, KunBerliner, David C.1 no page) Even if it can be said that score determines everything. Chinese students carry too much pressure. In America, they care more about a student’s creativity and ability
