American School vs. Chinese School_2 The second difference is about reading. Though both countries think that reading is very important for children, but American school performs better. Every week, my child will borrow some books from school library, reading is one of his daily homework. In China, children have no time to reading non-textbooks, because they often have many homework to do. The third difference is that American school emphasizes more on PE. When I was a student, my classmates and I usually spent little time on sports, our school and parents even encouraged this behavior. Now, more and more Chinese schools and parents know the importance of sports, but American school still be better than Chinese school in this matter. In a word, American schools encourage students to think independent, to read books, to have sports, Chinese schools are learning the advantages of American schools.
