| My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a red flag (红旗) today. Could you please sign this note?" he said. The note showed that he had been talking during reading time. He gets a "red flag" Only once in a while. His real worry is that he hardly ever gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK" but often his score is "You can do better than this". My mum tells me "You can do better than this" would mean "Very bad" in China. It's interesting, though, because teachers for little kids in America never say anything too bad about their students; even if the students are making trouble in class or not working bard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject. I've heard that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations (期望) are very high for students. Even from first grade, homework was quite a lot for my relatives in Nanjing. I sometimes felt that my first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the US (this is the same as the 6th grade in China)! Yet his parents thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was smart, even though he didn't meet his parents' expectations. My parents tell me that some students who live in China before coming to this country are years earlier in maths and science! Do you think it's too strict in China? Or do you think that it's not strict enough in America? Maybe both are true! |
