The UK is a country with a long tradition of education, and its education system has been quite perfect and complete after hundreds of years of evolution, and has a very large "flexibility". In fact, the British education system, starting from basic education, is respected and emulated by countries around the world because of its respect for children's individualized growth and interactive classrooms combined with flexible and interesting.
Why can BRITISH homeschooling be guided correctly at every stage of a child's development? Why can British school education give children different growth, and how is the aristocratic spirit reflected in children's behavior and character, so that children are elegant, confident and independent? With this spirit of exploration, let's start with British family and school education and interpret the essence behind British education
British homeschooling system
Cultivate individuals with independence + aristocratic spirit
The British education system has always enjoyed a reputation for academic quality and review mechanisms, and the aristocratic spirit of British education throughout has always shaped children's excellent behavior and character.
British parents generally believe that the doting and pampering of children is the biggest obstacle to the formation of children's independent personality.
In order for children to adapt to the needs of society and live and work independently in the future, they must cultivate their ability to live independently from an early age, so that they can learn to respect others and self-restraint, and know that they are responsible for their own behavior.
If children do not adapt to society like others in the future, they will not be able to fulfill their educational responsibilities as parents.
No.1 INFANT EDUCATION at the stage of early childhood education
Institutions are a necessity for children's growth, and coddling is a kind of ignorance. Studies have shown that infants and young children are very fond of repetitive schedules because regularity, repeatability and consistency are the best ways for them to learn.
If the child can't get regular, repetitive and clear information, he can't find the bottom line, so he can't meet the psychological needs, can't learn self-management, can only cook according to the face and attitude of the parents, but can't establish an independent personality.
British parents will begin to pay attention to children's behavior and moral cultivation in early childhood, while preschool education is also cultivating children's moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic development and logical thinking, as far as possible to give children the opportunity to contact art, music and multiple sports, in order to cultivate a little dreamer with an independent and inclusive spirit.
No.2 Primary education at the primary education stage
Social moral education in the UK, from an early age to teach children to learn to take care of themselves, while paying attention not to hinder others. This is actually the watershed between public morality and private morality, which is also called "moral requirements for strangers".
British primary schools attach great importance to cultivating children's independent ability, personal cleaning and hygiene, learning utensils and tidying up are within the scope of moral education.
If you have the opportunity to experience the British primary school classroom for yourself, you will find that most local schools will organize class discussions every week, select some social events that occur in school or society, let children express their opinions, and learn to understand and judge right and wrong through joint discussion.
Halfway through 2020, children at home and abroad have experienced the process of suspension of classes, online classes at home, and resumption of classes, although the twists and turns continue, but at the beginning of the new school year in September, there is no interruption in examinations and further education.
Many private schools completed interviews in the early January-February period, and some private school entrance examinations and interviews also adopted an online model. Private schools in the UK often issue offers at the end of the interview, and the preparatory primary school results are also an important reference for parents when choosing a school.
