于师生角色的缘故,师生之间的关系也比较疏远。举例来说,我在中国读高中的时候,没有学生会在学校里直呼老师的名字,除非是私底下很好的朋友,或者老师也只是刚大学毕业不久的年轻人,但也不会在公众场合这样“放肆”。但在美国,许多老师认为学生直呼他们的名字,是理所当然的。但仍然受到学生们的尊重,多数的学生不仅视他们的导师为指导者,更把他们当成自己的朋友,因此美国师生之间的关系也是比较不流于形式的。
我个人认为,老师和学生之间,本身就不应该有什么距离。反而沟通好的话,对于互动教学有更大的帮助。但因为我的性格原因,无论我是在中国,还是在国外,都和老师们有着很好的关系。他们也只叫我Shirley。
2:学制的不同:中国大部分的孩子都在7岁左右上学。小学6年,初中三年,高中三年,再是大学。只有少数地区,孩子在5岁时候上学。但教育体制基本一样。美国不一样,在这里,一般来说,美国高中采取四年制,初中三年,小学则是五年。然而,有些学区里,小学会从一年到六年级,而初中相对地从七年级到八年级。
但是,中国的留学生,要来美国,或者任何其他国家的读书的话,都要读一年的“大学预科”,要衔接上一年,也为了让留学生更好地掌握英语。我觉得这是有必要的,当然你可以申请不读大学预科,除非你提交很高的雅思或者托福成绩。
3:记分方式:记分方式通常分两种:一种是用数字法,但不普遍。中国的话,是60分及格。一种是英文方式,A B C D E F 来分等级。A表示最高的等级,F代表不及格。有些学校还会用A+或者A-这样作为成绩的一部分。如果学生有一门课不及格,成绩单上便会有个记录,他就必须要重修才能通过这一课。
4:男女关系:在这里,男女朋友在校园里过分亲热,在操场上接吻等,如果被行政人员抓到,只会口头警告。普通老师甚至不会处理。不会受到严厉的处分。但如果是在中国,哪怕是大学,都估计要受批评和处分了。特别是高中,至少我们学校,对待学生的“早恋”现象是非常严格的。男生和女生在老师面前,一定要保持距离。
5:报考大学:我不知道中国的学生是否需要准备高中活动的履历。在报考大学的时候。基本不用,只要有高考成绩分数就可以。但在美国,在建够一份良好的履历时,请来势帮你写推荐信,申请奖学金,申请大学方面都占有很重的分量。
6:大学的申请和提交:在美国申请大学,除了“正规入学”办法,还有“提前许可入学”办法和“提前行动”。才用后两者申请大学,学生可以提早一个月左右的时间向心中的理想大学提出申请(为第一志愿),然后在12月左右就知道自己是否被录取。“提前许可入学”和“提前行动”的差别在于,提前许可具有约束力,意指该生一旦被录取,就必须注册;相比之下,提前行动就只是让学生提早提出申请。不过只有私立大学才有这两种申请方式:斯坦福大学提供“提前许可入学”方案。
The different Sino-US education system
1: teacher-student relationship: In China, due to the role of teachers and students because of the relationship between teachers and students also compared alienation. For example, I read in Chinese high school, students in school, no teacher's name am having unless it is privately very good friends, or teachers have only just graduated from university near young people, but not in public places such "unbridled." But in the United States, many teachers think students am having their names, for granted. But still respected by the students, the majority of students not only as their mentor as a guide, and even more to them as their friends, so the United States is the relationship between teachers and students is not a mere formality for comparison.
I personally think that, between teachers and students, in itself should not have any distance. But communication is good for interactive teaching and learning more help. But because of my personality reasons, whether I am in China or abroad, and the teachers have very good relations. They only asked me Shirley.
2: the different structure: China most of the children go to school in the 7-year-old. Six years of elementary school, junior high school three years, the high school three years before university. Only a few areas, the children in the 5-year-old when school. But the same basic education system. The United States does not like, here, in general, the United States adopted a four-year high school, junior high school three years, the primary school is five years. However, some school districts, from primary one to sixth grade, junior high and relatively level from 2007 to the eighth grade.
However, the Chinese students to come to the United States, or any other country to study, to read the year "pre-university", it is necessary to converge the previous year, as well as to let students better grasp of English. I think this is necessary, of course, you can not apply for university matriculation unless you submit TOEFL or IELTS high performance.
3: Points Means: Points are usually of two ways: one is using digital law, but not universal. China, it would be 60 minutes pass. One is the English way, the A B C D E F for grading. A said that the highest grade, F representatives failed. Some schools also use A + or A-part of this as a success. If students do not pass a course, there will be a report card on the record, he must repair before it could be passed this course.
4: male-female relationships: Here, men and women friends in the campus too affectionate, kissing on the playground, if caught by the administrative staff, will only verbal warnings. Even ordinary teacher does not handle. Do not be severely punished. But if it is in China, even universities, are estimated by the criticism and punishment. In particular the high school, at least we schools, their students "Puppy Love" phenomenon is very strict. Boys and girls in front of teachers, we must keep a distance.
5: sit for university: I do not know whether China's need for high school students activities of the curriculum vitae. When they apply for the university. No longer are, as long as there are scores will be scored. But in the United States, built in a good enough resume, please vehement in the way they help you write letters of recommendation for scholarships, university applications have occupied a lot of weight.
6: University of applications and submission: applications University in the United States, in addition to "regular school" approach, there are "early entry permit" approach and "early action." After only two applications for universities, students can advance to a period of about one month hearts of the ideal university to apply (for the first choice), then in December about whether they knew and were admitted. "Advance permission enrollment" and "early action" difference is that advance permission is binding, meaning that once they are admitted Health, must be registered; By contrast, early action is only allowing students to apply early. However, only two private universities can apply for this approach: Stanford University to provide "advance permission enrollment" program.
