This film made me refresh my educational concept.
First, American children are not easy.
Chinese children are often portrayed as having no childhood joy, no power to plan their own time, trapped in textbooks and various "quality education". No matter where you are in the world, if you want to do better than others, you will naturally have to put in more effort. When I saw Cathy gliding comfortably in her yard, my mother smiled and waved at the window with the math book. I think I often do this too.
Second, American mothers are not democratic.
No matter how I look at it, I feel like Joan Cusack's mother. They have high expectations for their children and hope that they will follow the path arranged by their parents. How many people know where their interests lie in childhood and adolescence? It's the parent's responsibility to let the child experiment and let him know that there are so many options. But when it really comes to the critical moment, we will impose our will on our children, and at that time we do not realize that it is "forced".
Third, cultural and sports projects are also not mainstream.
In China, those who apply for art schools are often considered to be a "shortcut", especially for some children whose academic performance is not very satisfactory. When I heard Jane complain in the movie that her classmates made fun of her bad maths, I felt surprised and injustified. Considering that in order to achieve grades in style and style, you have to pay more money than taking the usual way - taking the college entrance examination, and the professional life is very short. I think that ordinary people like us should honestly take the usual way.
Fourth, where is the strength of American education?
After watching the movie, I feel that the difference between American education and Chinese education is not as big as imagined. Again, it takes more effort to succeed. Perhaps because of a more scientific selection and examination system (such as interviews) and high requirements for hands-on ability and social practice (applying aerodynamics to figure skating, being a tutor can give extra points), etc., let children have more Opportunities to choose, stronger social adaptability.
