How big is the education gap between China and the United States? To declare in advance, it is not to admire foreign countries, but purely to analyze the Sino-US education model!
In the mainland, all children are used as test machines by parents and schools, and scores are an important basis used by all parents and teachers to measure whether their children are good or not.
Let's look at Western education led by the United States, it emphasizes the individuality of children, respects children, and allows children to grow freely, Western basic education is not as good as us, we can do their sixth grade questions in the second grade of primary school can get full marks, but our universities can not catch up with others, our high-end talents can not catch up with Western countries, such as now chip we lack high-end talents.
American education is to encourage students to do what they are good at, let students want to learn something, so learning will be active, flexible and happy. And China's education is to make students make up for what they are not good at, and always have to make detailed and cumbersome regulations for students in advance, what to learn, how much to learn, when to learn, how to learn, etc., Chinese students regard learning as utilitarian, so they are accustomed to coping, learning is a matter for parents and teachers, learning is to promote officials and get rich and find a job, learning passively, dogmatically, helplessly.
It's our education that is in trouble now, what do you see elementary school students and junior high school students in our country doing? Primary school students and junior high school students have even been playing with their lives since kindergarten, and thousands of troops have to cross the single-wood bridge to go to Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Double First-Class University. And American primary and secondary school students play every day, American children go to school in the morning and have a holiday in the afternoon, but when they get to the university, it is different, American universities are wide in and narrow out, you can only graduate if you take too many points, otherwise you can never graduate. Therefore, college students in the United States are playing with their lives, and if they don't play with their lives, they can't finish school, and we college students, knowing that they are admitted to college, burn all the previous books, and when they arrive at the relaxed environment of the university, there is no pressure from primary and secondary school learning, and they start to play. Studies have shown that the best golden period for learning is 18 to 30 years old, 18 years old down, 30 years old to 50 years old is the silver age, 50 years old and then up is the bronze age, then in the golden age, our Chinese children are playing, and Western children are playing with life, which causes some gaps between our Chinese and Western education.
In the United States, you don't need to get a score, in the United States is to see if you have a specialty, in the United States, elementary and middle school children will only take half a day of classes every day, and the remaining half-day parents have to sign up for various interest classes for their children. This interest class is not a training class in the mainland, and the purpose of parents signing up for interest classes for their children is to help their children find their own natural specialties.
If a child is serious in his subjects in the mainland, what will happen, the teacher will scold him overwhelmingly, and the parents will also scold him overwhelmingly, let him make up classes, attend training courses, make up for his worst classes, so that the classes he is best at are not refined, and the classes he is not good at are also half-hanged, and the raw ones turn him into a mediocre person.
What happens if this student is in the U.S.? For example, if you are good at chemistry, then focus on learning chemistry and train you towards winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
This is completely opposite to the Chinese way of teaching, completely different, for example, a child who is very good at mathematics was born in the United States, everyone will praise him, you are too good at mathematics, you are too awesome, report you an Olympiad, you are too awesome, your mathematical attainments are simply a genius I have seen, so that he will become more and more confident! If you are good in mathematics alone in the mainland, but other grades are not good, why are you so stupid, are you stupid than others, how can you go to university like you, how can he be confident?
The mainland's education model urgently needs a change, stop shouting empty slogans, but should strive for a breakthrough in the reform of the education system with practical actions, which will be a blessing for the mainland's education circles!
