What’s wrong with the education in China?
Problems
When I was a little kid,I was very interested in English,history and math.And I learnt a lot
of things from English cartoons and historical movies.Albert Einstein said,”Interest is the
best teacher.”.I like acquiring knowledge that I am concerned about by myself.
This situation changed when I was in senior one.At that time my English grade was good
but I don’t like English class because my teacher always talked about grammar and
vocabulary.One day I was asked to write down some new words on the blackboard.I can’t
finish it because I didn’t preview.After calss my teacher had a chat with me.I said I did’t
like the way that teachers teached me.My teacher said,”I don’t like this way either but we
teachers have to because of college entrance examination.This is the thing that you can’t
avoid.So you can’t do everything you like because you are a Chinese student.”
After listening to her words,I realized I had to give up my interests and fought for a good
college.Luckily I changed my mind so I can be in SEU,but unluckily we lost our interests.
Some students didn’t changed and they couldn’t enter a good college.However,can we
said they are bad students?Of course not.To get better grade,I swam in the sea of physics
instead of history because we didn’t learn it.We also had some things in science that don’t
need to learn because college entrance examination don’t check here.To be honest,I
always fight for my grade,not interest.
Reasons
My purpose is not to attack college entrance examination.The reason that we have to lose
our interests is enrolment rate.Every senior high school aspires higher enrolment rate so
that they can get fame and earn more money.High schools compare with other schools.
Also parents put pressure on teachers.If their children don’t get good grades,they will
blame these on teachers.Our teachers have to make leaders and parents satisfied,so they
put pressure on us.This situation that grade is everything is not someone’s fault.I don’t
mean that we should cancel exams.Instead,I think college entrance examination is the
most fair way to compete.Now adults ask children,”How is your grades?”,not”What have
you learnt?”.This reports that it’s a social problem.
