As many Chinese students have been in Syracuse for about half a year, students deeply feel the similarities and differences in education systems between United States and China. First, homework is given in both countries. Teachers both ask students to read or write. However, the homework in the United States is more flexible than in China. In China, homework is always preview, review by students themselves. American teachers will ask students to cooperate with others and explore the outside world. It is really good for students to learn more. Second, listening to teachers is mandatory in both countries. In America, it is common that teachers teach and students ask questions in class when they feel confused. On the contrary, in China, it is only teachers teaching in class. Few teachers will give students time to ask in class, so sometimes we cannot understand teachers clearly. Third, in school, students all learn for their own purposes. In China, students learn for grades. Teachers and parents always tell students that grades can determine their future. It is true in some aspects. However, it will make students become study machines. On the contrary, American students learn new knowledge to improve themselves. Although grades are important, they pay much attention on self-improvement. Although education systems are different in two countries, if students can merge them together and absorb the quintessence, they will be more knowledgeable.
