Chinese Elementary School vs. American Elementary School _1 Chinese Elementary School vs. American Elementary School Last September, my child Simon went to a American elementary school. Because he came from China, he didn't know English, I was afraid that he wouldn't adapt the life of American school, however, every day when he came home from school, he said he was happy. From my child's experience, I discover there are three differences between Chinese elementary school and American elementary school. The first difference is that American teachers used to encourage students to discover new knowledge by themselves, but in Chinese school, teachers hope their students to learn a lot of knowledge in a short time. In China, Chinese students usually need to recite knowledge as many as they can, and they also need to do a lot of homework. American children do not have so many homework.

Chinese Elementary School vs. American Elementary School

Last September, my child Simon went to* a American elementary school. Because he originally came from China, he didn't know English, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the life of an American school. However, every day when he came* home from school, he said he was* happy. From my child's experience, I have discovered there are three differences between Chinese elementary school and American elementary school.

The first difference is that American teachers used to encourage students to discover new knowledge by themselves, but in Chinese school, teachers hope their students to can learn a lot of knowledge in a short time. In China, Chinese students usually need to recite knowledge as many as many facts as they can, and they also need to do a lot of homework. American children do not have so many much homework.


*你用这个past tense的意思是以前你孩子上了一个美国小学,现在不上美国小学。如果他还在上美国小学,请改变 "went to" -> "started at", came"->"comes", "said he was"->"says he is".

Chinese Elementary School vs. American Elementary School

Last September, my child Simon went to an American elementary school. Because he came from China, he didn't know any English. I was afraid that he wouldn't adapt to the life of an American school, however, every day when he came home from school everyday, he said he was happy. From my child's son's experience, I discovered there are three differences between Chinese elementary school and American elementary school.

The first difference is that American teachers used to encourage students to discover new knowledge by themselves, but while in Chinese school, teachers hope want their students to learn a lot of knowledge in a short time. In China, Chinese students usually need to recite knowledge as many much as they can, and they also need to do a lot of homework. American children do not have so many as much homework.


Thank you for sharing your son's experience in an American School! I hope he enjoys it more overtime, though American school later on can be stressful. 
Best of luck!
