The Distinctions of Education Between China and America

Good morning,dear teacher and classmates.Today,we are going to talk something about the distinctions of education between China and America.

There are several differences between China and America in education.We think the most important difference is the aim of education.China's education is to make students master fundamental knowledge.While in America,education is to cultivate students' innovation ability.The difference of education aims leads to the distinctions in many other aspects.We will elaborate these differences from the following perspectives.

First,the education philosophy is different.In China,we mainly learn the arranged courses to grasp the fundamental knowledge.This makes Chinese students learning very passive.Differently,students in America will select the courses that they are interested in.So they can study actively.

Second,the class-room behavior of Chinese students is distinct from that of American students.A good-behaved Chinese student should sit straightly,listen quietly and take notes quickly.While a American students may talk freely,think lively and discuss enthusiastically in class.And most Chinese students do not ask questions even though they do not understand, They believe that sitting upright is the respect for teachers.But American students may ask questions actively no matter how clever they are, They usually sit in disorder so that they can communicate with their teachers more conveniently. In a word,American students are more active than Chinese students in class.

Third,the emphasis of education is different.We put emphasis on the storage of knowledge while American pay attention to the students’ practical ability.So,when we are sitting in the classroom and listening to teachers,American students maybe doing experiments.

What ’s more,The attitude towards examination scores of China is quite different from that of America.Chinese take exam result very important,we usually measure students by there exam scores and Chinese students have to pass all kinds of exams before they graduate.These leads we Chinese students bury ourselves in textbooks and workbooks for higher exam scores and to pass the university entrance exam.

Differently from us,in America ,the school reports are regarded as‘privacy ’. Teachers can only give parents their own children’s grades,and the whole class results will not be published.They measure students not only by there study results but also by there comprehensive quality.Briefly,China implements exam-oriented education while America quality education.

Last but not the least,the after-school life is quite different between China and America.Chinese students have to do a lot of homework to consolidate their knowledge.This takes most of their spare time so they can hardly have time to do things they are interested in.But American students have more spare time than us,they also have a lot of free time after doing homework.So they can take all kinds of

activities to enrich their after-school life.

All in all, there are many differences between China’s education and American’s education Education is the soul of a nation.Education system should be based on its own cultural tradition.We can’t tell which education system is better .Every coin has two sides ,each education system has its strong points and weak points s . We should reject the dross and absorb the cream of them to advance the educational

modernization.
