10.Educational systems


     Nowadays, there is a hot debate that whether parents should send their kids to the US to study or not in China. Most Chinese people agree that the educational system in America is better than that in China. Students in China will under more pressure to attend universities than peers in US. But is that true? In other words, do students in the United States face less pressure and could easily get high scores in classes? I don’t think so.

I have been Minnesota a month and a half. From my own experience, I found, though there are many differences in educational system between China and America, there are still a lot of commons among them. Let me just compare the differences. First, students in primary schools do have more homework than their peers in the US. In China, due to the big competition in attending good universities, not only parents but also teachers start to pay much attention on primary schools. Thus children have a lot of homework to do every day. On contrast, pupils in America are lucky, they could not be pushed so hard by their parents and teachers. They could do whatever they want and develop well during years in elementary schools. What’s more, there is a big difference between Chinese students and American students in university. In China, when students have enrolled in university, they do not work as hard as they do in high schools. Most of them will take classes for granted, for they think they have accomplished their mission that they have already attended colleges. On the contrary to Chinese students, the American students really work harder than Chinese us. I have experienced the situations both in China and here.  I found that if you do not work hard during daily studying, of course you will not get higher scores in the end. Therefore, I have to study very hard to keep up with my American classmates.

The similar thing in both educational systems is that, students are all demanded to work hard in senior highs to attend good universities. 

For a better life in the future, no matter where we study in, it is vital of importance for us to make full efforts to studying.
