Whatever you hear from the West about China, you just need to flip around then it'll be true. Trust me, I have too much experience in this.
You think only from the west??? Even China next door neighbor India can be the same or worst.
I agree 100%! You are right!
I have never been to India, but I hope the students get the educations they deserve!
@@sirant They do. US universities admit mostly Indians and Bangladeshi, and won’t admit a lot of Chinese like they use to.
@@sirant Literacy rate in India is 76.3%, literacy rate in China is 99.8%. This means almost a quarter of 1.4 billion or 350 million the same population size as the US in India cannot read or write !
School is meant to teach and nurture and thats what Chinese schools do instead of confusing kids with gender and sensitivity indoctrination.
And mastering the 3 Rs when they graduate. High unemployment among the young people in China, which is highly touted by some Western scholars among reasons for their prediction of China's economic collapse, will mean more STEM graduates for the PLA. When our armed forces are lowering standards to find enough recruits, an increasingly smarter PLA will keep many Pentagon generals from sleeping soundly at night. The good news is that no US President will be dumb enough to order an attack on China, whether it is over the Taiwan Strait or the South China Sea. We are just playing Texas Hold ‘them with the CCP and bluffing them like crazy. LMAO!
And look at them, coming to America cuz china is un livable 😂
确实，在我们大学，如果你暂时找不到工作，那么你可以加入军队来发挥才能，积累工作经验，不过你是中国人吗，为什么你能知道这些，我没有听到任何反华博主说过这一点，他们只会说中国已经完蛋了。@@siberiantiger1585
🤣
完全同意 , 学校就是学校, 学习知识 , 中国的学校不教孩子政治和宗教 , 让学校纯粹, 让学习纯粹 . 看见学生为了不同的政治意见打架和羞辱对方, 这是错误的 . 曾经毛把文革带进校园, 造成学校的失控,后来变成社会的撕裂 , 中国付出了代价, 中国反省了. 中国政府刻意回避公开讨论这个问题, 是怕它被人利用 ,中国的国际话语权被西方控制, 政府担心被带舆论, 扩大影响到要政府下台. 这会造成一个14亿人民的国家混乱回到军阀打架的时代, 冲动的游行和无理的要求不是好事. 没有完美的国家, 大家的争论都是"对"和"对"的较量 , 像文明人那样交流, 找到中庸的解决之道, 世界会更和平, 人类之间也会和睦相处.
chinese students have less time for bs. like vandalism, skipping class, hanging out ( while skipping class ), smoking weed, etc. ...
Has to do with Confucian family values and a hybrid Confucian/legal law society ! The west and Europe only governs with legal law alone which Confucius said will perish because they will all see the law as something to get around through legal loopholes via wealthy lawyers !
How about the amount of time wasted by US public school teachers (and, in turn, their students who are there to learn) trying to maintain discipline in their classrooms?
Add gun rights.
And LGBTQ classes. Amazing !
@@mason2547 what is a woman? hahaha
The Chinese consider education of children as the top priority in their lives and in national agenda. The old Chinese went to the extent of enduring hunger just to save enough money for their children's education. The Chinese parents are strict and devote very much attention to the safety, welfare and wellbeing of their children. The job of the teachers in Chinese schools is also very demanding. These are different from the West, where it is relatively relaxing to raise and teach children.
True! When I married my wife, she told me we had to save 60% of our salary every single month, for the education and benefit of our child. Being a westerner, I thought this crazy and impossible, but we did it by living simply and finding other ways to enjoy life than spending money. In the end, we used that money to pay for tutors, after school programs and our daughters full university with no loans or expenses to her. It was well worth the effort.
我如此震驚。I am so astonished. You know deeply Chinese culture.
I attended the University of Hawaii during the 1970s. Some of my classmates were from Hong Kong. They told me that going to American universities was so easy because much of the mathematics, science and technology taught at the universities in the West was taught at the high school level in Hong Kong. So going to universities in the West was like a holiday to students from Hong Kong.
True.
American schools are best. We need to believe only America.
Yes, I totally agree. I took and passed an exam for a professional qualification in the US simply by reading free textbooks that I got from friends.
Exactly. Just like a walk in the garden!
Soooo right
China has a national literacy and numeracy rating of over 98%. USA has a national literacy and numeracy rating of 54%.
This does not surprise me in the slightest. Sadly.
So true, however most of the American population would never accept the fact that the vast majority of students are illiterate and cannot calculate basic math.
What?! The US still got over 50%! Damn! I'm impressed!
@@arthurchu4491 ...and about the same percentage finishes high school as well !
China has a long long history that values the arts, science, and medicine, as well as scholarship and craftmanship of many kinds. And that across class lines too.
I really love those so called "terrible" Chinese schools which produce good engineers building amazing infrastructures.
that's well said. spot on
Tofu dreg buildings, bridges, streets and houses are unbelievable! 😀
@nuckingfuts9515 USA has the tofu infrastructure. The USA spends more money on military than infrastructure and the infrastructure is barely maintained and so many bridges in America collapse
@@nuckingfuts9515 they don't know what is it totally ,trust me . They only know the great china 🇨🇳! Which will rule the world instead of America 🇺🇸!
Amazing? That's tofu infrastructure. 😋
Meanwhile here in the US, we have entire districts that can't read and do math at their expected grade level.
I know. That was one of the craziest bits of Reverse Culture Shock when I came back to Canada in 2015.... After teaching grammar for 12 years, I was SHOCKED how little the typical Canadian knows about grammar.... Schools aren't even teaching their own languages properly sadly
@@sirant Let me put it this way. I would look at any social system from a free market point of view. The end product caters the expectations of consumers in general. If most of the consumers "accept" the product as OK, the product remains as such. At least, theoretically in a "democracy", the end users do have their say. Who to blame for a failed education system? I would say it was the end users, ie parents, employers, government, etc.
boys and girls have the hard time on fighting for the restroom
Without H1B America can't compete. Today the young Americans are not as hardworking and smart as their parents. Hollywood can take some of the blame.
@@cool-eye3674 The rich don't need to worry because their real estate taxes will keep the local public schools in good shape or they can just send their kids to expensive private schools. The poor may be too impaired to worry about their kids - "Hillbilly Elegy".
I worked in public and private schools in Chengdu China for a decade. If there is something that students in Chinese learn, it is discipline and respect for their teachers. At the beginning of each class the students have to stand silently and take a bow to their teacher and it is not until the teacher gives them permission to sit down. At the end of class the students have to stand and take a bow in silence. When at any time in class I would crossed my arms all the students in the class inmedatelly would stop talking immidiately and stay quiet in absolute silence. Then after the class in the playground studentes would run to me a high five or a group hug a sign of mutual love and respect. I made sure that all my students had fun in class with many games and fun learning activities because learning must be fun in order to be effective . .
I miss my teaching days. The affection and fun we had with the students was always a highlight of my day! It makes me very proud inside to hear from my past students on their ongoing successes in the world. I am glad you enjoyed your experience as well!
Confucius is rooted in Chinese culture. They pay the utmost respect to the parents and teachers.
@@esphilee In the US teachers get beaten up by their students and everyone just stands around to watch !
@@esphilee Very true! I was treated with great kindness, respect and appreciation by the students, their parents and my Chinese coworkers when I was a teacher.
你是外教吗，指不定你还教过我🤗
The American school has a happy education system, that is terrific for kids and terrible for parents! If you want them to work in McDonald then sure, just go with the happy education system!
Happy education system?? Are you serious or joking??? Why all the school shootings? And all grassroots mass shootings also? I see nothing happy about their education nor social environment
I think he was making a joke, comparing the education system to the McDonalds kids "Happy Meal". Garbage food designed to get kids addicted to unhealthy habits at an early age.
但是美国的精英阶层可不是什么快乐教育 他们只是把所谓的“快乐教育”用洗脑的方式输入给平民百姓 以保证教育隔离 所以精英的孩子以后大多数都还是精英 参考一下美国犹太家庭吧
@@fzmoifzmoi2575 don't you understand jokes at all, why are you so serious, blimey. Read to understand.
woke & lgbtq education & appreciation sessions too.
The western society did not want their citizens to know better alternatives. Only by toughening up, their citizens become stronger on their own, resilient and open to new adventures, able to overcome difficulties
I sincerely hope more people go out into the world and learn for themselves what is out there!😊
I brought my children from Chile to study in China and I see a big difference between the form of education in one country and another. My daughter was studying in fourth grade in primary school and had to start mid-semester of second grade, because she had to learn Chinese. Now she is in third year and it has been very difficult at first to adapt to the language and studies, but now she has leveled, but the learning is much higher, for example in mathematics I see a big difference in the way of teaching and the tasks are done every day with a lot of practice, but what is incredible is the depth of seeing it, by making the student have You have to reason, think and analyze the questions to find the correct answer, not just saying that 2+2 is equal to 4, not the normal and linear way that is often taught in the West, but they put other variables in and you have to reason, so you can get to 4. And it is true that they have a single snack at lunch and then sleep for 1 hour, and then do exercises and other activities to stimulate them and keep them in shape. I think the decision I made to bring them back was not a bad one and I don't regret it.
Thank you for sharing your story! I think you are 100% correct!! You have given your kids a massive advantage, especially in the language skills, which will make them much more valuable employees in the future! Great Choice!!
Your children will thank you for it!
中国教育有时候有点扼杀人性！但是就提高学生能力方面还是很有效的！
@@hkhjh 請解釋 詳述中國教育怎樣扼殺人性!🙏
@@Elfan97-ec1uk 我自己就是一名中国教师，高中老师！ 中国教育客观上强迫学生比拼智力，手段和过程有点不人道。 多样化在中国教育中几乎看不到，这是我最不喜欢中国教育一方面。千篇一律学科，所谓成人眼里“懂事”德育教育模式，培养终点指向--学习好、懂事的孩子。 而有些智商不高的孩子在这过程中痛苦不堪、毫无乐趣。 当然这种模式有它的优点：公平、高效，但是细细想想，这是以牺牲多少孩子天性作为代价！ 作为这个教育体制的一员，深深感觉这些问题存在却又不能改变这些，有时很无力！
Chinese may be the nation that attaches the most importance to education in the world.
All started during the Imperial examinations, made dominant and open to anyone in public during Song Dynasty
@@yong9613 The Imperial examination system originated in the Sui Dynasty, 350 years ahead of Song Dynasty.
@@changhenry4648 it was expanded and used dominantly in the Song Dynasty. Have a good day 😌
Started in 1950 after centuries of humiliation & invasions by foreign powers. Ancient rulers don't encourage inventions, research and development..
Both school look really big and nice. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting!
There's an old Chinese saying ; In the realm of books awaits a house of wealth and a beautiful maiden. 😂
书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。
@@WarLionsofGesar Thanks for the Chinese proverb and hope my transliteration matches as I was Western educated despite being having Chinese ancestry.
I like that!
Beautiful!
@@brianliew5901 The meaning of your translation is obviously not right.
As a Chinese student myself I can say that the math teaching is really good. And I only found out that when I was in another country. My computation skill compare to the locals is way more faster and accurate and to think I'm just average in class.
Thanks for sharing! I agree completely! My daughter said AP mathematics in University was very very easy!
@@sirant There is no such thing as AP mathematics in university. AP is a university level high school course only offered in high schools.
@@loremasteringwion9930 My bad, slip of the tongue. I meant Advanced Mathematics, part of her curriculum in University. Thank you for pointing that out.
The school in Beijing where I worked for 10 years, has a dormitory building, a gymnasium including 4 X100 meter swimming pool, a 400 meter running track and a standard soccer field... they have 20 three D printers...
Nice!
Wow! Very high quality! I wonder why chinese students come to Cagayan Valley in the Philippines when their education is far superior than ours? Must be some hidden agenda somewhere.
They play when they play, they work hard when they learn. Respect their teachers and follow disciplines.
Very True!
This is one of the most enlightening reports of the schools system in china. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
The facilities are amazing and a learning experience even for those not attending the school 😅
They are amazing indeed! I can only imagine how much better they are getting as the years and technology move forward!!
Thank you Sirant!. Very interesting information. I've been tyrying to see a video just like this from the several expat youtubers I follow. This is the first time someone shows and explains how elementary and high school sare in China. Much better than in the West. There is a reason Chinese students are among the top ratings in the Pisa studies.
You mentioned North Korea in a negative manner. There are a lot of misconceptions about North Korea much more than China. Did you know all housing are provided free to all citizens in N. Korea? Starvation is false because China will not let that happen to their brothers which were part of China at one time. You should look into that.
中朝关系很复杂，一方面虽然中国奉行不结盟政策，但是朝鲜一定程度上是中国唯一的军事盟友，中朝友好条约一定程度上算是军事盟约。另一方面中朝关系其实也没很多人想象得那么和谐，更何况即使关系很好，也不是朝鲜有任何需求中国都会去援助的。 朝鲜有点像一个起步家庭环境不错，但是在学校或者社会上长期被人欺负的人，内外因素共同造成了他有一点反社会人格，你并不能说他是个好人，但是他人格的形成是有复杂原因的。如果今后对朝鲜有一个长期的友好的外部环境，也许可以慢慢感化改变他。但是作为一个普通中国人，从外部观察，在可以预见的将来，朝鲜真的很难会有很大改变。
I would love to look into that further. And for the record, I personally did not state that about North Korea, I have never been there, so it would be impossible to say. But, it is a very widely shared fact that North Korea is a very difficult place to live. I never mentioned starvation or any specifics about North Korea, only that many people believe China is the same. I merely stated it is a common conception, not a fact.
@@sirant I recently watched some videos about overseas Chinese in North Korea, and the situation there seems to be tougher than I expected. Free housing is mostly limited to cities, and while people in rural areas may not be starving anymore, their living conditions are not great either. Along the China-North Korea border, many North Koreans are sent by the government to work, but only in certain restaurants or factories. They are also closely monitored to prevent them from escaping. I'm not sure how they share their earnings with the government.
我对朝鲜的理解其实有几个阶段。一开始我相信西方那些媒体的宣传，认为朝鲜是个可怕的地方。后来了解到西方对我们的宣传之后，我在想，朝鲜是不是也是这样被抹黑了，看了一些视频证明了我的观点之后我认为朝鲜是一个优秀的共产主义国家，比我们执行的更彻底。再后来，看到了李唐的视频，我才发现，朝鲜不像西方宣传的那么可怕，但也绝没有我想的那么好。不然中朝边境为什么要管这么严，为什么来中国打工的朝鲜人要受监视，为什么去朝鲜旅游这么困难，尤其是考虑到我们两国关系算是相当不错了。
@@jeremyheung6582 从某种程度上说所有政治问题都是经济问题。。。马克思主义观点基本也是这样嘛。朝鲜最大的问题就是外部孤立，尤其是苏联解体之后石油供应出了大问题，不然朝鲜跟古巴委内瑞拉之类的国家不会有太大区别，最差也不过是像以前伊拉克那种政治环境。
Skills, skills, skills !!! Chinese schools and Chinese parents focus on students learning skills. Western society is not focused on skills, instead we focus on “feel good” and “woke indoctrination.
Wow! So impressed to hear how your daughter turned out after being in the Chinese school system!
Thank you! We are very proud of her!
@@sirant you certainly would be! Is she still overseas or back in China now?
Thank you for showing and explaining a different perspective to their education system. Much appreciated 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Another reasons for Chinese parents to put their kids in school for such long time in a day, is because both of the parents are so busy in jobs, their don't have enough time to take care of their children. Rather than children getting back home early and playing video game all the rest of the day, parents prefer to put them into other classroom after school. If the school could provide more lessons till 10pm, that would be even better.
You are 100% correct! I used to teach lessons often until 8pm when I worked in large public schools. And then after that the students could attend homework sessions where actual teachers could help to make sure they understood.
I am full of admiration for the brilliant hardworking students and even more so for the wonderful teachers who are so caring and dedicated to their profession. They deserve the deep respect of their students.
17:00 that’s exactly my feeling when came to Toronto in middle school. Everything, even the final exam questions were quite easy and I collected countless Waterloo contest awards 😂
Congratulations! I am always happy to see when students received good end results from their hard work in school!
Great video thanks for sharing 👏👏👏🎯🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
There is a Chinese proverb that says that it is better to witness once than to hear someone say it a hundred times
This is interesting. Is it like that through out China? Too bad education isn't as valued in Canada as there.
Yes, education is a focus throughout China. However, as in any country, different communities have different amounts of money to invest in facilities. But, no matter how new or advanced the technology, education is always a priority.
Yes as far as I know. I joined a summer school programme in Beijing back in 1999, and that's what the school is looks like.
@@hanmi1216 Wow! 1999!!! I bet it was an amazing experience! I recently saw a video showing how 50, 000 US students were invited to China to experience the Chinese school system, and they were all amazed and thrilled as well! Thank you for sharing!
@@sirant yes, it is an amazing experience. Especially that afternoon nap break that shocked me. We don't have that kind of break time here in Indonesia 😅.
@@hanmi1216 I tell ya, after teaching for 10 years, the one of the last schools I taught in China, they gave me my own apartment, even though I lived off campus anyways. I sure LOVED having a 2 hour nap in the afternoon between morning and afternoon classes!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Way much better than singapore .
Hwa Chong Institution is way better. But that's if you can afford it at $100 per month.
Great education. I remember that Sophia top 2 always she studied in Hong Kong. And then when she was in UK she was granted a scholarship. Great training and facilities and faculty development and great respect to teachers.
Looks a lot better than the schools in my town in California!
As a Chinese。I'm very happy more and more foreigner work as teacher in China。it can improve Chinese kid's English level.English is very important in China ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I heard that in one US state, teachers are allowed to carry weapons to school. What a "perfect" society that America is! 😱
Yes, the law was just passed in Tennessee. So the solution to the gun problem is MORE guns... Oy.... Poor kids.
Great video. Thanks Sirant. I was born and raised in Shanghai. I did not know when I was a kid that China's public education system is so good. I knew it until I worked in the US and send my daughter to a nearby public school. The content in that school is just too easy, so I immediately transferred her to a private school for better academy. IMO the private school in the US is not bad. It's funny that in these private schools nobody talks about "happy education". Most kids work very hard and most of them are Chinese, some Indian, few white, very few others. Unfortunately only less than 10% kids in the US actually go to private schools. The "good education" is just not available for most of the people.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad your child was able to benefit from the private system. It is sad all students cannot have the same opportunities.
Money is not enough, parents don't emphasize on education.
Once I visited my friend's daughter's grade school in Guangdong, she was in second grade, and she had to stay after school because she didn't do her homework. She was not happy. Now, I occasionally send messages to another child because she is struggling with her English. I am not sure if this is true for everyone, but children in high school live in dorms.
Some kids live in dormitories on campus, absolutely. Often times this is for the best. If mother and father are hard at work everyday, it is a great way to ensure their child is getting the appropriate assistance for their success. Also, it eliminates commuting long distances if the school is not close enough to home. We always lived close to my daughters school and she had two teachers as parents. So she never needed to live in the dorm.
Yes it is a norm to be kept at school longer if a student does not do his homework. Not finishing homework is viewed as a big deal even for a first grader since it shows irresponsibility. Usually only may be two or three students out of 60 do that in my primary school.
Chinese students actually learn things in classes.
Ok but can they tell us what a woman is?
*The BBC would ONLY show @**13:30** with comments on how China is falling apart*
Oh of course, though they would likely make up some other crap as well.
@@sirant Like they usually do. BBC is sooo bad.
In the west these days, the only place to see the true China is from vloggers like yourself, thank you very much.
@@lw7795 Thanks for watching!
The school you showed in Hong Kong, very modern, very good facilities. Very large and clean in general.
It's not in Hong Kong actually. That school is in Shenzhen, it is just a branch of the Chinese University of Hong Kong group of schools, but physically located in Longgang District of Shenzhen. But yes, it is a very nice looking school!
Love the content of your vlog. Look forward to more. Just subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you! A lot more interesting content coming!
I remember growing up in the US small town in Illinois in the 90s. Our playground was the parking lot. When we fell, our pants ripped and we get bloody knees and elbows
Me too
That's why Westerns are tough, a Chinese person would go to the hospital for a scraped knee
well said. i was a chinese student years ago. The difficulty and depth of education in China are somewhat higher, which means those below average may feel a great academic pressure. Moreover, Chinese people are known for their ambition; everyone wants to be the "cream of the crop." This mindset can lead to at least half of the population feeling stressed and caught up in a rat race. In fact some people are not animal for academia; it would be distressing for an elephant to compete with a monkey in climbing trees. In my own educational journey, I didn't find things too challenging, except for the more intense periods during the third year of middle school and the third year of high school when exams were imminent. I had plenty of time for play, sports and dating, I also escaped much classes, it didn't impact my study at all. After all, no one can become an all-star player without rigorous training, and I believe that even basketball legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant underwent intense training. The key issue is that not everyone needs to have the same goal. Elephants should focus on building strength, monkeys should excel at climbing, and fish should master swimming. With this approach, life won't be too bad, and there's no need for anxiety.
Also well said! I agree completely!
thank you for tell us the truth。I'm watching your many videos and subscribe
When I was in school, it started at 7:45, and ended about 12:30 - 1pm, with a single half hour recess in the middle, about 18-20 hours a week, 550-600 hours of classes a year.
Wow! I never got out of school that early. When I was teaching in China, I often had lessons at 5pm and even some evening sessions after dinner.
You must be Singaporean. Only half a day in school for primary schools, ridiculous...
❤China….Education and personal well being is so deeply embedded into the Chinese culture. I taught at a massive university in Guangdong Province it really opened my mind up to how important education and success was to the students. Unlike the west, Chinese students aren’t in a huge rush to grow up, check the education box, and move into the working world, and I think parents really enforced this. 90% of my students didn’t have boyfriends/ girlfriends because either their parents didn’t allow it or education was far more important. Along with this, the collectivist culture is so blatantly obvious. They think, act , talk, eat, dress, believe, as a group not as individuals. Most people in the west (including my family) have formed their opinions of China based on what the media feeds them, without setting foot in the country. I’m so glad I had the privilege to take a little closer look into this amazing country. My advice, if you’re intrigued about traveling to China, go for a minimum of a year, and teach! Just traveling won’t give you even close to the same perspective as teaching. ❤China!
Well said! I came to China in 2004 for a 1 year teaching contract. In 2024, I am still here, taught extensively in the Chinese system and raised a family. My family back home also held (and likely still does) the negative stereotypes. I am glad you had the opportunity to experience and enjoy life here yourself! Thank you for sharing your experience!
elementary level in China are already a level of High School and some Colleges in U.S.
I stayed in Shenzhen and Guanzhou for 3 months back in ‘98. It was an out of this world experience even 26 years ago! I can imagine, now it would be even more modern, more futuristic in all aspects of life ❤
I have been lucky enough to witness the changes firsthand for the past 20 years! Thank you for sharing!
EDUCATION is a way to PROSPERITY! 👍❤️🇧🇬
Absolutely!
Very good video you made, thanks a lot, I really need this info
Glad to hear that!
Wow, nice school you have👍🏿👏🏿
Thank you Sirant for spreading the fact. That swimming pool is possibly abandoned and will be replaced by other facilities. Nowadays Chinese parents in the major cities prefer indoor swimming simply because they are afraid of potential harm to their kids. The UV exposure during a standard 2-hour training drill under the sun does not sound well for pupils.
You know, I never thought of that, but you are 100% correct! I too would be concerned about the UV damage to swimmers. Thank you for pointing that out!!
elementary in China already learning the science of programming languages were you only learn it in Colleges in U.S.
Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍
My pleasure
America's secretary for defence only has a BA from West Point University - I wonder how much study time he put in to "earn it"! His Chinese counterpart was a rocket scientist who was involved in the construction of China's Space Station!!!
I have met a few people who has university "degrees" that they known nothing about. Their parents literally paid their way through "higher learning" and now we have graduates with less skills than McDonalds employees. It is a sad part of the modern western educational system I have seen with my own eyes....
@@sirant In America, many universities will hand out doctorates and professorships freely, let alone batchelor of arts and masters!
@@user-if1vh8po2f That's terrible... Really devalues the hard work done by actual students.
Schools in uk are falling apart.
Sorry to hear it. Though you are not the first I have heard say this.
Yes, because they see profits and not the education.
One of the main things for children attending school in China as opposed to the US is they will not get shot for being at school.
Sad, but true. All children should be safe.
Thank you for your informative video🙏👍🙏
My pleasure
At least Chinese students don't have to worry about active shooters. Maybe that's why they can concentrate on their studies better.
That's true but they worry about the crazed man with a sword or knife killing kids. At least it doesn't happen very often but then again they don't put out to much of the bad news that goes on
for someone who has been through in both types of education, the Western education is more towards group projects and brainstorming, while the Asian education is more towards practice. Thus, Western schools do not give much homework.
Does this mean that Westerners always like to talk but not do things?
@@zen-mc4ju the Western education is more towards real-world approach -- you brainstorm and discuss more in group projects instead of practicing a task repeatedly
@@MrDragonballzbin u mean a group discussion of LGBT? or how to abuse the teachers? emmmmmmm..
@@user-vi9np8cb3g definitely not those kind of topics 😂
From kindergarten to university, at least 2-hour lunch&nap time.😃 Afternoon nap is very important to refresh you and keep you concentrated in the following study and excercises.
So true!
I enjoyed watching travel videos from our western perspective.
What an eye opener! The national system, that takes great care of its young: nurturing, educating, building their environment, that creates healthy life habits- that nation will have its own great future!
Absolutely!
Not just the US, Canada is the same. I am in Malaysia. I am considering to enrol my daughter into the online Canadian high school diploma instead of A level. My friend’s kids did Ontario diploma, they said it was very easy, they both got above 95 out of 100.
Singapore often top Pisa ranking...maybe because...lessons for core subject are in English...
Hello from California. I agreed with everthing you said.
Thanks for visiting and your comment!
Thanks for those info, no wonder about the chainess morical anymore. As a teacher and internal observator ... You should be able to educate us more about the system in in more detailed stats .. Something like : education system levels/years/ages (Like: preschool, primary, scondery, high ..), school hours vs leaning hours, academic hours vs PE hours, Class vs outdoor hours. Your are really lucky to live in such envornment, Good luck.
Wow, thanks
In fact, Chinese people know more about American education than most Americans. Most Americans think American-style happy education, but this is only for the bottom people. In fact, the American elite has always understood the importance of education, and the education of the elite is actually similar to that of China.
I finished 4th grade in my birth place, which already have Geometry and beginning Algebra. When I attended US High school Math was like eating ice cream, except English classes.
That's a good way to put it!
American schools especially in high schools, the students are more interested in sex and how to look pretty and sexy like their Hollywood idols. !
Social Media Education....
Although Shenzhen is one of the most developed cities in China, and the schools you visit are quite expensive, the level of public education in China is generally the same, but regional differences and the unfairness of university admissions to the gaokao (National Unified Examination for High School Graduation) remains a big problem.
Yes, I found the GaoKao to be incredibly demanding for my daughter. She took evening and weekend classes for years to prepare. Thankfully shedid well due to her dedicated work and study habits.
I love this video! You explained China's educational system very well! All those people spouting nonsense about China should see this, but even then they'll probably think that the CCP paid/forced you to only record specific parts 😂. Keep it up! 💯
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing! ❤ It was not easy for China to be able to provide our young generation with better education and health services. It took our most hard working, courageous and selfless people years to make this happen. Their dedication to the cause will be forever remembered. ❤
Amazing comment! Thank you!
The first 13 years of my life was without any schooling. I come to found out that those without earlier education were like having scholastic attention deprivation disorder. Our ability to analyzed data were much poorer than those with better education. Some of my working colleague growing up with military parents were doing much worse because their education was always got interrupted by the need to move from place to place along with their parents. They always got sympathy from their teachers, therefore teachers pushing them to achieve perfection were secondary. Realistically saying is, if kids got a stable encouragement to push for perfection, will grow up to have a habit of trying get perfection.
You need to improve your English grammar. People will judge whether you are really "educated" or not. My first exposure to English grammar was in junior high school when I learned everything there was to know by way of a British textbook. When I wrote my doctoral dissertation at the University of Californa at Berkeley, my advisor did not change a single word.
Yes, I admitted that I am not highly educated but I am not one of those with master's degree and beyond, but the only history they have written about Cambodia were the fallacy of bandwagon from one author to another. Again, this is my signature history of Cambodia. At the beginning, the French continued to employ the language first implement by Nguyen Phuc Anh when he became the first emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. The Chu-Han (Mandarin) was the one rebellion against the French, when the French wrest power from them in Cambodia in 1863. After the Chu-Han victory against the French in 1954, their attention was switched to focus on undermining Norodom Sihanouk's power in Cambodia. They were very successful because they limited Norodom Sihanouk's independent for only 16 years and able to put the secretive genocidal Khmer Rouge in power. They were also very successful at assigned the blamed on the Chinese for having an embassy in Phnom Penh from 1975 to late 1978 by given the Chinese only a few thousand tons of Kapok.
You must visit schools in guizhou or shenxi provinces rural region to know the truth
I have been to and worked in schools in rural regions. May not look as nice as schools in tier 1 cities, but education standards still higher than back home in my opinion.
Thumbs up and subscribed, Sirant!
Thank You!
Good investment in infrastructure and education! 👍👏
You are right
Great video! I like your T-shirt!
Thank you!
Looks good to the modern standards. Good job
This is really cool! I would like to see and learn about rural schools deep in the countryside. How they compare. As china is massive i wonder how it is possible to give same education with supplies. Thank you.
I wish I had gotten better footage, but if you watch the video to the end you will see me be swarmed by a bunch of kids in a school in a very small town in Guangxi province. They had never had a foreign teacher nor seen a foreigner at all. The school was very large and had huge outdoor recreation areas. Next time I am in that town I will get a proper video of a countryside school to share!
The push for education is historical and cultural… growing up in the west with Asian parents… it was a difficult situation being caught in between… it’s only when I became an adult with kids, I realized that most kids need to be pushed as the typical tendency is to avoid reading and doing math…
Is this a Tier-1 city? What about average Chinese school outside the cities?
If you watch the video right to the end, you will see me visiting some kids in a small town in rural Guangxi. Although they do not have a foreign teacher and had never seen a foreigner to that point ever, the school was large, with excellent sports facilities and a safe, secure environment! The classrooms all had AC and modern AV equipment.
Interesting that you could film the kids and school facilities (without permission?). I guess you could not do that in most of the so called western countries. This shows how cool to live in China. Thanks for your great content.
To be fair, it was just a few seconds. But it is definitely different here. Kids freely speak to me walking down the street and I can greet children and speak with them and their parents think it is wonderful! In Canada, however, even LOOKING at children you do not know, let alone talking to them, will incite angry and frightened reactions from the parents. A warthog of a woman once threatened my mother, in her 70's, because her child came to our table in a food court and said hello to my mother. A grandmother!
Chine has made knowledge a criteria for advancement for centuries. The most knowledgeable individuals were selected to serve. Generally speaking, the Chinese America community values education. They did so well American educational institutes sometime discriminated against young Americans of Chinese descent.
Sorry to hear that.
Chinese students are not smarter than any other student in the world. They just have more emphasis, either by themselves or their parents, and strive for higher education. It's a cultural norm. If your society strives to be the same then the students will be comparable. However, there is 1.4 billion people in China so having some brilliant kids is in their favor. A matter of statistics.
Latin originated from chinese Manchu language， and all Western languages were established and improved by linguists from chinese Qing Dynasty from 1600s-1900s. Westerners have robbed the royal bibliotek of the Chinese imperial palace, over 700.000 volumes of scientific and technological philosophy books document and millions of objects, including scientific instruments and experimental equipment, all stolen by the West. Westerners like to use the wisdom of Chinese people as intellectual rouge to embellish their brains.
You are correct. Statistically there are students here in general, so they will show in higher numbers on the world stage. However, it certainly helps they have an excellent school system to thrive within!
If Chinese school in China is exceptional , why there are numerous Chinese Nationals preferred to study in the Philippines. What's the reason behind
Easy! Some students WANT to go to International schools. That doesn't mean the schools in China are bad, it means some students want new experiences. I have known people from the Philippines come to China and Canada to study also. By your logic that would mean schools in Philippines were bad too right??
Because Chinese students are under too much competitive pressure, the number of good schools is limited, and the number of students is so large, we can not pass them, can only go abroad to study university, but also can broaden the horizon, and it will be easier than China. Of course, I think the number of Chinese students who go to the Philippines is still very small, most of them go to the United States, Britain and Australia. Usually people with no money and poor education are forced to choose to go to the Philippines.
9:30 actually they are junior middle school students, aged from 13 to 15(may ±1 for some inevitable reason)
Yes, those ones are definitely older, though the other side had little wee ones. 😊
For starters that country is freaking beautiful, before you even consider the infrastructure involved, the landscape alone, the west can't even admit that.
Agreed! I love it here!
@@zakaryloreto6526 Nature can be made ugly however, by adding garbage and poor public management. The most beautiful places in canada are the ones least frequented by humans sadly.
It’s not necessary saying Chinese students are smarter it’s just they culture mandates and train them that way. While our culture trains us to divide and hate.
Kids in Western cultures have a little too much freedom. Leads to lower grades and more trouble at young ages sadly.
Excellent job.
Thank you very much!
What are the trends ? I think education in China is going in the right direction and schools in the United States are going in the wrong direction. At least public schools in large American cities.
Education in Canada is becoming worse and worse. They pay teachers MUCH less than they deserve, over work them and do not provide proper tools and supplies for them to use. This leads to classroom crowding because fewer and fewer people want to be teachers these days.
China in few words: New world leader ❤
I agree! I thought this would happen decades ago!
This school is top notch，beijing's elementary school don't have such large play grounds, I envy quite much.
Yes, a lot has to do with the economy of the local area. Kids in this neighborhood do have nice facilities, but even kids in my wife old home village had a very nice school. Those are the clips from the end of the video! 😎😎😊😊
还好吧，你要区分好视频中小学和高中的操场，高中确实规模会大很多，杭州学校也都普遍这样啊，北京不会是因为寸土寸金吧😂
If you are in the US or Canada,put your kids to Kumon classes from young besides the regular public school. After 10 years,they will not be behind and can go to good universities. The Jewish community in Washington D.C. Hadtheir own extra classes on all weekends when I was there.
Wow, that is super interesting, I did not know about those courses till I looked it up right now. In Canada it is 100% virtual, all done online, so easier for kids to attend, but somewhat expensive for the average students perhaps. At $160 per month plus taxes, I can imagine a lot of parents could not afford it. It is a pity the public school system couldn't offer more. But thank you for sharing this information! It is very good to know! I sincerely hope more kids can take advantage of this assistance!
Yes. The work load r less in America or in western but they sure not produceing the right calibre of children for the country growth.
Can you please compare the Estonian school system and Chinese School System and The Terrible Prussian School System
Sorry, I don't think I can. I know nothing about them. I would have no basis for comparison. I only speak about my personal experiences.
@@sirant Okay
Do you know how terrible American schools are?
I have never gone to school in America, but I know all about the Canadian school system. And working for over a decade in the Chinese school system I met hundreds of teachers from America who told me horror stories of the classrooms and schools there. That is EXACTLY why they came to China instead of teaching in their home country.
everythin so organized n clean...bravo China....
Agreed!
Students are not beaten but forced to live in school and study 10 hrs daily. Only Sunday off. Not a great place for kids to enjoy childhood and teenagehood.
I have never seen kids forced to be in school. Many do live at school, but it is almost always for academic reasons, living too far from the school or not having parents at home due to working in the evenings. Every school I have ever worked for, known other teachers who worked there, or my own child's schools had Saturdays and Sundays off. Kids typically return home on friday nights, or if they choose, remain at school for extra study. But that is optional, not mandatory.
Are these private schools ?
Nope, both public schools.
