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
Rereading America begins by discussing the obstacles that students will face when entering college, and how cultural myths play a significant role in the way we think, and how we react to situations in our environment. In order to be a successful, intellectually-minded college student, one must engage in critical thinking in their academic work. Critical thinking involves the examination or consideration of various perspectives, realizing that what is commonly appeared to be “normal” or “crystal clear” is not from analysis, but rather from the cultural myths unconsciously embedded in our lives. While it can be argued that cultural myths provide social order in society, they also discourage individuals from forming their own beliefs after thinking
The reason I came the United States is for study. Same as millions international students, I choose American as a place where I attend college, there are two reasons make me made this decision. The first reason is that America has one of the best higher level education in the world. United States not only has best universities of the world, but also the whole nation’s universities have a better academic performance than rest of the world. So that I came to America for study in order to enhance myself. The second reason of I came to America is the competition in my country – China is intense. In the past year, there are 765 million students graduated from college, since the population of college students is super large, find an idea job in China
Moving to America is the most significant event in my life. It was like I have to start my life from beginning. New people, new culture, new school, and everything that surrounds me was new and different from the one I have been used to. From day one I was a confident girl, who can outcome any situation. But still I was little scared about how to fit in in American culture and how to express who I am. Even though the main reason why we moved to US was not education, but my main focus was on study.
In his article “Lost in America,” Douglas McGray highlights the issues of isolationism in the American educational system. The article was issued by Foreign Policy magazine in 2006. Through his article, McGray expresses his concerns about the lack of focus of the American educational system on the learning of foreign cultures. McGray’s target audience is people that can make changes in the educational curriculum, which signifies that his intended audience includes American legislators involved in American curriculum policies. McGray, who is co-creator and editor-in-chief of Pop-Up Magazine, claims that Americans are neglecting a valuable resource that is essential for the future generations’ success in the competitive world market. In his article “Lost in America,” McGray uses anecdotes to build credibility and trust, uses hyperboles to surprise and instigate fear, and motivates his audience with a call to action, to provide American legislators the actual state of the American education and effectively persuade them to incorporate foreign culture studies into the American educational curriculum.
“High school grades reflect years of effort and are more reliable assessment of college potential than test scores.” Historians detected that standardized testing started back in the seventh-century in China. The government of China began to organize written exams to select people for the civil service. Also many educators try to make sure that they are following the right requirements but some of them don’t and do all sorts of stuff with the results. Many individuals would say that standardized testing is a helpful way of learning from what the student knows and doesn’t, but the consequences that teachers found out of the standardized tests are making the students have a decrease in critical thinking.
“Why do people come to America?” Many people may have asked themselves this question. Soon these people end up believing that it is simply because they want to. However, in reality, people come to America for a new way of life which would then change their conditions and make them prosper. Along with a goal to seek new opportunities that were not available in their native country. Afterall, immigrants would mainly want to experience a new start in their lives.
In the illustration, people was a come from different place to America, it was a immigrant. They come America for good life, people that shows in illustration looks happy to came America and they see the stature of liberty. In the pome “The New colossus 1883” by Emma Lazarus say “Here at our sea washed, sunset gates shall stand. A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame. It the Imprisoned lightning, and her name was Mother of Exiles”. So people came America and see stature of liberty think it was a Mother of Exiles and frame was imprisoned lighting. So in my thinking promise of America means do anything for the America or loyalty for a America. And in speech “Address on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Stature of Liberty. October
We have all heard the complaints about standardized testing before and I was always wondering what are the negative effects that to our education system, society and economy. What exactly went wrong in standardized test and why it is a major problem for our education system? This research is going to explain what standardized testing is and how it’s been used in higher education. And I would like to compare the differences of standardized testing between the United States and China. The purpose of this research is to find the existing issues and possible solution to solve the problems caused by standardized tests. Based on research that I have already explored, I found how the standardized tests impact students’ academic success. Grade based
Not all children are as privileged as American children. Americans have all they can possible need and want. America is better off financially compared to everyone else in the world.
Nearly twenty days into taking office, president Donald Trump has looks to fulfill some of his campaign promises by signing 19 executive orders and memoranda.

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.
“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes
The differences between the Chinese education and the American education are more obvious in people’s mind, not only to the international students, but also to the native students and some people who study on this. As more and more Chinese students come to America to have better education, we should think about why the American education system is better and how could we change our system to have a new education system in China. These differences have some deeply reason, like the American is the nation which loves freedom. It took long time to make such a big difference between the two education systems, and we need longer time to change it. An undeniable
