Last Saturday, I was invited to have a dinner with an American family. They are pretty kind to me. I was interested in the system of education in America. So I chatted with child who is 6th grade at a private high school.
He told me that a class only maintains 20 students. So teachers could teach students with different methods in various ways. This small class satisfies each person’s personality, such as introversion person, outgoing person and so forth. Obviously, this is the innate character of education which means that teach different students with different ways.
Compared to China, there are more than 60 students in a class because of the dense population. This leads to every student absorbs knowledge in a same method. As a result, most of students don't have their own opinion but a same rule that teachers told toward a certain problem. Obviously, everyone is unique. We need to obey the rules that teach students according to their own aptitude. However, until now, there are more than 60 students in a class. That is the main reason why most Chinese will not be leaders after they have the advanced education.
We cannot deny the dense population in China, but we can use the advanced technology to change this situation. Mobile era is coming now so students and teachers need to seize the opportunity to create a new method to teach students. Just as professor said that a better way for schooling is using the computer wich can access Internet to enhance experience of learning and to satisfy each student's need.
