Comparison of Eastern and Western Educational Models

I just watched this film recently. Generally speaking, the storyline is relatively clear and smooth, the characters are well-drawn, and the scene fits the main axis of the story.
When it comes to the content, one cannot help but think of the education of children in the East and the West. I am a genuine "product" of Eastern education, and I have never received any Western teaching. When I was a child, I only had the idea of ​​studying and going to university, but now that I started working, I realized that apart from my ability to learn new knowledge, I have achieved nothing in other aspects. Dazed to walk on the road of life. When I was in Shanghai Foreign Teacher, I clearly contrasted the simplicity of the foreigner’s life style and the positive and optimistic attitude towards life. This was also one of the few opportunities for me to meet Westerners face-to-face. From this film, I found a big difference: they are also fighting for the same goal. Chinese people often work behind closed doors and fight alone. Over time, it will lead to a withdrawn and conceited character; while the West pays more attention to the integration of society. The success with the help of the whole team, which makes children have a sense of teamwork from an early age, and also shapes a personality suitable for the society.
One Chinese is a dragon, and three Chinese are a worm. It's time to reflect more on the way we educate our children.

Akeelah and the Bee quotes

  • [last lines]

    Akeelah: You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E.

  • Mr. Welch: So whoever wins the school bee today gets to represent Crenshaw at the district bee next month.

    Akeelah: Why would anybody want to represent a school where they can't even put doors on the toilet stalls?

    [coughing]

    Mr. Welch: Akeelah, if we can't show students can perform, we're not going to have money for books, let alone bathroom doors.

    [pause]

    Mr. Welch: Now, I want you to do the bee today, okay?

    Akeelah: So everyone can call me a freak and a brainiac? No, I ain't down for no spelling bee.

    Mr. Welch: Well, maybe you'd be down for spending the rest of the semester in detention for all your absences?
