Education in China is one of the most high-level schooling systems in the world. The students are required to put in very long hours of homework, tutoring, and extra-curricular activities. Students have high expectations from their teachers, and as a result they develop a strong work ethic. American and Chinese schools both spend the same amount of time in the classroom per day, but Chinese students go to school more days out of the year and have required extra activities after school, such as music lessons or sports. High schools in China, unlike America, are private and not available to everyone and students are very competitive to get into these selective schools. China also has fewer students in each classroom than the US, which allows for more engagement between

Believe it or not, but American and Chinese culture do have something’s in common. They see eye-to-eye on some aspects. Like providing for their children “Parents work together for the well-being of their children” [Example from Article]. It is true that parents do the best they can to work towards a better financial life for their kids. That’s why many Chinese parents come over to the states, so that they can provide a better life, and a better education. They would also go to great lengths for their children no matter what the cause “Parents will risk their life for their children” [Example from Article]. Any parent would risk their life for their children no matter what ethnicity, or cultural aspect! There is no bond like a parent and their child.

Some may not know this, but access to college is very competitive and one’s social status plays a significant role to China’s economy. Therefore, my parents made an very important decision, which was to leave my mother country and step in a foreign country that is America. Here, I am able to experience mountains of obstacles and learn how to solve these complex life cases.

Throughout her article, Chu emotionally targets her American audience by complementing the educational system in the United States in comparison to that in China. She begins by describing the “traditional Chinese approach to education,” which produces “undue psychological burdens,” as “outdated” and “discouraging” to establish its myriad of flaws. Moreover, Chu describes

For example in the video “Families in China” a girl named Yu Qingbo in Ningbo went to from 6 am to 5:30 pm. So she went to school for 11 hours and 30 minutes which is almost twice as long as students in 7th grade in the U.S. go to school. Also, she stayed at school that long like because everyone does a club and she does English club. Also there homework is not easy, it takes a lot of time and effort. According to the video, Yu Qingbo does homework for two hours and then has her mom check and redoes it if it’s wrong. Yu Qingbo’s school also holds a lot of students. For instance the video said that there are 57 other students in her class and 1500 students in her school. Since students have this great education when they get older they get an outstanding job. According to the article “Rural Life in China” it states, “Average disposable annual income for Chinese urban residents in 2012 was the equivalent of about $4,000, an increase of 9.6 percent after taking inflation into account. Average rural net income was just under $1,300 per person, a rise of 10.7 percent” So, in Urban China you get a wonderful education and a marvelous

Each country has its own kind of education, and education always plays an important role in affecting students’ life and study on many aspects. Having received ten years of education in China and two years of education in the U.S. I would like to compare and contrast a few significant aspects of these two different kinds of educations. Knowing that no two education systems are the same, the differences between American education and Chinese education allow countries to take the essence and discard the dross through learning from each other so as to improve their own current education systems.

This is an immense amount of Chinese international student, and the reason is because of the parent’s personal decisions. William Bennet, a CNN reporter, interviewed many rural Chinese parents about the value of America Education and noticed three differences. First, Chinese youth have high standards and high expectations which is norm in China (Bennet). Second, Chinese people believe American Universities are the “Beacons of freedom, individualism and self- improvements” (Bennet). Chinese people also tend to think universities are emblems of the highest achievement (Bennet). Third, Chinese parents are willing to sacrifice almost anything for their child’s education (Bennet). These three differences explain how important education is to the Chinese and showed how these parents are emphasizing that education is the key to a successful life. These three, are all motives of sending their child to America to study, even meaning

The USA and China are one of the largest countries in the world with more than 9.3 million square meters. There are a lot of interesting parallels between China and America. Both China and America emphasize the importance of their national identity and values. Moreover, they both have a strong military presence and the people in these two countries have a great respect for their militaries. However, when I moved from China to America, there are apparent changes in my education before going to college and after going to college, such as the size of class, students’ study stress and teaching styles.

The American students and parents both did not want to hear about communism and were nervous about the lack of political discussion in the classroom. On the other hand, the Chinese teachers did not want to discuss politics because they felt that it would overshadow other aspects of China. As one teacher stated, “politics isn’t our whole life” (336). Instead, they shared personal experiences and stories about living in China, doing activities such as “…living in modern apartment complexes, dining in international chain restaurants, and wearing

Comparison of American and Chinese educational systems is important because the education students receive plays a big role in the way they act in society as adults. In some ways, the educational systems reflect the society’s direction as a whole. The United States, operating under a democratic government that values free speech, follows an educational system that encourages students to express their opinions freely. China, operating under an autocratic government, places more emphasis on obedience and respect. As China’s rapid development and prominence in today’s economy shows, the Chinese educational system has produced many high-achieving, industrious individuals. However, some worry that China will be at a disadvantage if Chinese students

and for their own child good they will force them to study good and score high mark in exam, well if not they will beat their child as punishment for them to remember next time, and that kind of parents will called "Tiger mom" and "Tiger dad". But in American Canadian they will let their child develop their own interest, and parents usually don't force child to study or expert on something as long as they want or they have interest, also parents in Canada don't mention too much about mark or child can get university or not, even their child get into college they will still be proud of their kids, but in China if a child get college instead of university, the parents will be shame and rebuke kid, so the child think college base on parents reflecting, and make conclusion university is better than college and college is school for loser, and you can't get a real job after you graduate.
