Going to School in ChinaBy Anita Kim Venegas
Have you ever complained
about your homework? Perhaps you had one or two pages of multiplication problems to solve.
Perhaps your mom told you to write
your spelling words three times so you would spell them correctly on
Friday's spelling test. Thirty minutes
later, you are ready to play with your friends. Let me tell you about going to school in China. While China is about the same size as
the United States, the population is four times as large. Some families still live in small village
homes in the countryside, growing the crops a large country needs. Millions of people have moved into the cities, working long hours to provide for their families. The number of colleges and universities is nearly the same in the United States and China, but remember, the number of high school graduates in China is likely to be four times as many as in the United States. The education of each child, usually just one, requires the effort of the whole family. Parents focus their attention on ensuring their child receives the best education from the beginning. In elementary school, students begin school at 7:30 in the morning. They remain at school until 4:00 in the afternoon. After school, most students attend classes at learning centers. These classes include academic subjects such as Chinese, math, and science. Some children take online classes with American teachers to improve their English. Parents may also enroll their children in classes to learn calligraphy, drawing, or how to play chess. It is common for students to attend four or five additional classes on a Saturday or Sunday. Homework in elementary school usually takes one hour each night to complete. Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com
When a child is almost
finished with elementary school, his or her parents will apply for them to be admitted to the best middle schools in their city.
Students may be accepted on
grades alone, or the principal may ask to interview the student. Once the student is accepted, his or her family will buy a new apartment near the middle school. Moving closer to the school allows students a few extra minutes of sleep before the long school day begins. Sleep is as important as a healthy diet for growing minds and bodies. The amount of homework triples to three hours each night in middle school. At the end of ninth grade, all students will take a six-hour exam to compete for a spot in the best high schools. The test asks questions in math, physics, biology, geography, chemistry, Chinese, and English. Depending on their score, students and their families will move to an apartment near the high school. Throughout high school, students will participate in review classes in order to prepare for the final exam of their education. The students with the highest scores will attend the best universities; just as valedictorians in the United States will have opportunities to attend the top universities. A young person's future in China depends on their success as a student from the beginning of their school years. The next time your teacher assigns a few pages of homework, remember that your success as a student will affect your future. If you develop good study habits now, it will be easier for you to be a strong student in the future.
