東西方教育在如何開發學生學習興趣方面有些差異。C FP供圖
說法1
西方小學生整天玩，基本沒有作業
很多中國人簡單認為，西方中小學生一般下午3點放學，之後就去參加各種體育藝術活動，沒有作業，因為沒有升學壓力，基本都是學英文看電影學就近入學，沒有小升初、中學英文看電影學考，考大學也不僅僅看分數。
真相：他們更尊重教育規律
兒童教育專家陳丁鴻碩士畢業於美國印第安納大學教育學院，她的小孩曾在中國和美國上過小學。他說，美國的小學有公立的、私立的，公立小學也有好有壞，公立學校和私立學校教學要求不一樣。「我的小孩在公立小學就讀，下午3點放學，作業一般10分鐘以內就能完成。放學後主要是戶外活動，考試學英文看電影學不多，家長和老師對分數要求不高。五年級，小孩去了私立學校讀書，要求提高了很多。」
私立學校的作業五花八門，有看書、手寫、在電腦上完成的，每天必做的有兩項：閱讀30分鐘課外書；在電腦上登錄學習網站，完成每天的數學作業。考試也是比較多，每次考卷都要讓家長簽名。
再來看看英國，資深英國私校教育專家K iki Zeng說，英國的教育是什麼年級就做什麼事。「在該養成好習慣的年級階段，就不會用考試壓力來取代；如果正式考試，到了這個階段，就會給孩子考試壓力，比如說G CSE和A -Level。」
由此可以看出，西方的基礎教育，更尊重教育規律，小學階段讓孩子在玩中學，培養孩子對知識和學習的興趣，注重閱讀的培養，邏輯分析能力的培養，西方的學英文看電影學中小學沒有固定的教材，但是他們會看很多書。

西方中小學生的數學水平很差
中國的小留學生最拿手的是數學，一則簡單的數學計算題，中國學生一下子就心算出來了，西方學生要吭哧計算半天。在西方學生的眼裡，中國學生簡直是數學天才。
真相：大部分英國同學數學水平確實不如中國學生
在美國佛羅里達L ak elan dC hristianSchool就讀12年級的張月紅告訴南都記者，「在國外，小留學生數學確實可以努力一下就拿到好的成績。」
今年剛從英國一所私立高中畢業的中國學生吳凝說，「大部分英國同學的數學水平，確實不如中國學生。我在中國時數學班級墊底，在U K M athC hallenge(英國數學挑戰賽)居然能拿到金獎。」
吳凝說，英國學生中，也不乏數學超好的。牛津劍橋的招生考試中有一個測試叫T SA，題目偏奧數，能通過這個測試的英國學生，數學也不會太差。如果做個比較，他認為中國的學習在於深，大家會根據僅僅一條定理，琢磨出許多花樣；而英國則在於廣，英國的數學涉及很寬，數學分了很多種，如C ore(基礎數學)，FurtherPure(高等純數)，Statistics(統計)，M echanics(機械)，D ecision(決策)。
而新浪博主新澤西C athy接受採訪時說，「小學是很簡單。但小學高年級和初中、高中的高級班，跟中國中小學數學教材深度是一樣的。我兒子的數學水平可以跟國內不上奧數班的同齡孩子媲美。美國孩子的數學水平根據自己的能力和興趣，不會被耽誤，也不會感覺壓力大。喜歡的可以學大學課程，不喜歡的，只要達到最低要求，就可以畢業。」
實際上，美國中小學實行分層教學，因材施教，對不同層次的學生要求不同。徐子庸老師的《美國的數學課並不簡單》文章稱：「其實，遠隔大洋的中國人對美國的教育思維產生了很深的誤會。並不是美國的數學課簡單，只是美國並不要求所有的學生都掌握很深的數學知識，學校對不同的學生提供了不同難度的課程。數學基礎比較差的學生只需要完成最低等級的課程就可以畢業了，例如馬薩諸塞州對高中畢業生數學水平的最基本要求，大概就是可以計算簡單的三角函數，只相當於中國初中的水平。但即便這樣，很多學生依然只能勉強地拿到畢業證。這種低要求的直接結果就是，美國絕大多數學生的數學能力都停留在很低級的水平。這也是國內普遍認為美國人數學不好的原因。」
說法3
西方的中小學生不用上補習班、培訓班
很多中國人認為，西方的中小學升學不用考試，沒有必要上補習班。
真相：本地人更傾向興趣班，想通過聯考上特殊高中也上補習班
新澤西C athy指出：「補習班只在亞裔多的地方盛行。興趣班到處都是，按照興趣一般來說，女孩學舞蹈第一，男孩學體育第一。藍領階層對孩子上興趣班要求不高，隨孩子興趣。各個鎮都有非常便宜的各種文體興趣班，普及度極高，但要想在某一領域拔尖，需要家長和孩子的大量金錢和時間投入。」
在美國公立高中林肯中學任教的方帆老師認為，美國學生沒有上補習班的傳統，沒有人擔心孩子將來因為不會外語、不會奧數、不會音樂、不會才藝而比別人差。
美國絕大部分公立學校是13年全免費義務教育，無論小升初，初升高，不用考入學試。想上好學校，有錢買或租好學校附近的房子就可以了，不需要上什麼補習班。美國小學大部分沒課本，老師評分只有三級：優、良、中，學生基本玩著玩著就一年。而在高中階段，只要上課認真學習，認真複習做作業，一般拿個A是沒有問題的，花錢上補習班也沒有必要。
但是並不是說美國所有的學生都不上補習班，部分精英學生要上非常好學生義工幫胡婆婆打掃衛生。 廣州日報記者莫偉濃 攝
開學了 學生義工及家長陷入糾結
文/廣州日報記者譚秋明
實習生李思穎 通訊員胡美然
剛剛過去的假期，廣州市義工聯的學生義工放下書本，走出家門，參加多種義務服務。活動過程中，不少學生哥向同伴吐露心中糾結：「是聽爸爸媽媽安排去上補習班提升班，還是繼續堅持做義工呢？」
其實，廣州的學生義工，有不少是「學霸」，而且，他們有機會到境外學習義務工作。今年暑假，「義勇軍」暑期體驗營從數萬名學生義工中遴選出20名優秀義工，獲得福彩金資助，到澳門學習和體驗義務工作。
學生哥做家務個個在行
昨日，市義工聯「義勇軍」義工隊的7名中學生在社工帶領下，前往荔灣區西村街探望困難家庭，他們首先來到85歲的胡婆婆家中。胡婆婆家中3人擠在狹窄、陰暗的小房裡，其子因為曾遭遇車禍，身體孱弱，而婆婆則患有風濕病，行動不便。
「最開心就是你們來探我啦！地方淺窄，你們隨便坐。」看到這群熟悉的小義工，胡婆婆眉開眼笑，招呼著他們快坐。寒暄幾句，大家開始聊起前天的大閱兵。婆婆說：「現在眼睛不好，想看看報紙，也看不清了。」醒目的義工陳海悅立即拿過當天的《廣州日報》為婆婆讀起來。
由於胡婆婆及其子都行動不便，家中極少打掃，衛生環境很差。陳海悅提議：「不如我們幫胡婆婆搞衛生吧！」大家紛紛響應，倒是胡婆婆有點意外和緊張，她說：「你們這些『金笸籮』，怎能做這些粗重工夫？」
7個學生哥，很快分好工，2個在大廳拖地，2個負責整理房中雜物，2個負責清理門窗，還有1個負責查缺補漏。「哎呀，婆婆家的門鎖都鏽蝕了，回頭要帶工具過來修理。」陳海悅說。胡婆婆立即表揚他：「後生仔，真細心！」學生哥做家務時，胡婆婆四處巡看，忍不住讚歎：「想不到時下的『小公主』『小王子』做起家務來，個個都有板有眼。」
六成學生面臨兩難選擇
在這次服務過程中，這群學生義工向社工吐露了心中的糾結：「是聽爸爸媽媽安排去上補習班提升班，還是堅持做義工呢？」
日前，市義工聯一份面向200名學生義工的微調查顯示，開學之後，有六成左右的學生陷入了這個艱難的選擇當中。有半數的學生義工期望兼顧好學習和做義工；有三成表示，課餘時間做義工已經成為習慣。近七成受訪學生義工明確表示，做義工有收穫和提升，包括：加深了對社會生活的認識、結交了志同道合的朋友、學習了一些有用的技能等。
然而，接受了微調查的70多名學生家長，接近九成表示：「讓不讓孩子繼續做義工，確實糾結」。有家長堅持：「寒、暑兩假可以做義工，其餘時間要認真學習。」但也有家長認為：「只要不影響學習，可以每周抽時間堅持做義工。」有受訪家長一針見血地指出：「做義工，不影響學習，我們就不反對。」

在英國，公立學校中有一類文法學校(grammar school)，相當於當地的重點中學，招生同樣採取考試的辦法，入學考試叫作11+(elevenplus exam s)，在每年的9月初舉行，也就是小學生們剛剛進入六年級的時候，就要參加小升初的考試了。有的英國本地的學生，同樣要參加補習，以提高考試通過率。

詳全文 英美兩國中小學生真的都不用上補習班嗎(圖)-生活消費新聞-新浪新聞中心 http://news.sina.com.tw/article/20150906/15101342.html現在學生這麼早開始學英文，那麼多雙語幼兒園、英文補習班，還有無盡的影音教材，應該能把英文學得很好吧？」
「方法錯了，即使現在學生和家長投入那麼多資源，花了那麼多時間和金錢，學英文的成效還是相當糟。即使是台大非常聰明優秀的學生，有時候他們講的英文、寫的英文，都會讓我昏倒。當我嘗試要改掉他們根深柢固的錯誤，就換他們要昏倒了。」
我和台大外文系史嘉琳老師，聊著台灣學生的英文學習情況。對於這個問題，她的觀察和我的猜測完全不一樣。是什麼樣的錯誤學習觀念呢？
史老師帶了她的學生Melissa一道來。Melissa今年大學剛畢業，她就是從小上雙語幼稚園，國中讀英語資優班，一路英文科拿高分的典型。即使是這樣的學生，上大學之後，還是要花很大的力氣，才能改掉各種的習慣性錯誤。
根據人力銀行調查，有80%的同學打算在新學期打工。希望的平均時薪是303元，最夢幻的打工職缺，前幾名分別是家教、展場show girl以及外拍模特兒。
賣力發著傳單，就讀大學二年級的家瑩，一個禮拜有四天都要打工，開學後，這樣的生活也是如此，才能賺到一個月一萬多塊的薪水補貼自己學費與生活費，最慘的時候，站了一個下午，也沒有人領情。
打工族家瑩：明明就是很熱鬧的地段，像在西門町好了，可是就可能這時間太熱，大家都不想要出來，不然就是大家好像都約好了，都不想拿，15分鐘以上吧(沒人要拿)，明明就還滿熱鬧，至少這樣子的人潮有，可是都沒有人要拿。
像這樣的打工仔其實不在少數，根據人力銀行調查，在開學期間打工的學生，超過4成，都是因為有經濟壓力，要賺生活費或學費，平均薪資大約為1萬7千多元。
人力銀行公關副理楊宗斌：真的會在開學打工的，還是會以要籌這個生活費、學費，甚至未來有學貸壓力的學生為主，反倒真的要增加實務經驗，不是那麼主要的原因。
夢想中打工職缺與現實也有落差，家教、展場SHOW GIRL、外拍模特兒，或是外包接案，像是翻譯或設計等，因為報酬率高，囊括夢幻打工的前幾名。不過實際上，考量兼顧課業與專業性等因素，實際上最多同學，還是從事超商、速食店店員、家教以及餐廳服務生等，工時較為彈性的工作。
人力銀行公關副理楊宗斌：如果你覺得你未來可能，走一些學術研究路線，或者是你可能想要進入大企業來工作的話，其實你到相關企業，或是學校來當助理、工讀生，可以提早來學習，這些東西跟累積人脈，我覺得這樣是不錯的方式。
不過專家也提醒，同學也要懂得避免打工陷阱，像是找藉口亂扣薪、或是言語或肢體騷擾，都必須勇敢向雇主反應，保護自己的權益。
Meliss筆者多年前看過一部中國紀錄片《瘋狂英語》。「瘋狂英語」創辦人李陽以土法煉鋼手法，把學英語變成毛式群眾運動，再滲入愛國主義，成為「英語教主」，蔚為奇觀。 李陽雖因而名成利就，最後卻惹上連串是非，故事值得另案討論。不過，這裏要說的是李教主一句跟日本人說的口號：「要想學英文，請找中國人！」這是他為說服國人 ...
（節錄）a回想她在中小學時代經歷的英文教育，她指出4個重大誤解。
誤解一，遊戲、笑話、熱鬧的效果，其實無益英文能力
其實，最浪費父母與學生時間的，是那些認真努力，準備充分，但是英文不好、也不懂真正英語教學核心關鍵的補習班老師。
如果是教國小國中的補習班，會有漂亮活潑的老師，費盡心力設計課程，帶學生用英語做活動、玩遊戲。這些補習班，可能讓學生蠻開心，但是其實沒有學到英文。例如，Melissa國中的英語會話課中，老師帶他們玩一個「比手劃腳猜單字」的遊戲，一個小朋友要讓同伴猜 "train" 這個單字，總是會先比出「火」的手勢，然後是「車」，同學就會猜到 "train" 。現在回想，其實這樣的遊戲沒什麼效益，反而加強了中式英語的思考習慣。
如果是教高中，補習班老師會發大量講義，課堂中會準備很多段子、罐頭笑話，讓講課非常有趣，而且很擅長和學生互動––這些沒什麼不好，只是「仍然對英文能力幫助不大」Top Asian News at 8:30 p.m. GMT

NARAHA, Japan (AP) — A few signs of life are returning to this rural town made desolate by the Fukushima nuclear disaster four-and-a-half years ago: Carpenters bang on houses, an occasional delivery truck drives by and a noodle shop has opened to serve employees who have returned to Naraha's small town hall. But weeds cover the now rusty train tracks, there are no sounds of children and wild boars still roam around at night. On the outskirts of town, thousands of black industrial storage bags containing radiation-contaminated soil and debris stretch out across barren fields.
SINGAPORE (AP) — As the day turns into night, they gather in the green field in the eastern corner of this island nation just above the equator. Some have come with foldable stools, some with picnic mats while others settle down on bare grass waving blue flags and yellow inflatable hammers. Soon the crowd swells to about 30,000, waiting to hear the star of the night's show -- opposition leader Sylvia Lim. A policewoman-turned law teacher-turned-politician, Lim is the face of Singapore's resurgent opposition that just three elections ago in 2001 had hit a political nadir. Its leader, the late J.B. Jeyaretnam who attained folklore stature in the country's politics, had been bankrupted after contesting a series of lawsuits unleashed by the ruling People's Action Party. The Workers' Party and another opposition group had only one seat each in the 84-member Parliament.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North and South Korea agreed Tuesday to hold reunions next month of families separated by the Korean War in the early 1950s, a small but important bit of progress for rivals that just last month were threatening each other with war. One hundred mostly elderly people from each country will be reunited with their relatives Oct. 20-26 at the Diamond Mountain resort in North Korea, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry and North Korean state media.
BEIJING (AP) — Schoolchildren waved flags and paramilitary troops marched in full battle dress at a mass spectacle China staged Tuesday to mark 50 years since establishing Tibet as an ethnic autonomous region firmly under Beijing's control. The event lauded Tibet's economic successes under Communist Party rule, even as activists criticized its record on human rights.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Homegrown militants loyal to the Islamic State group are making inroads into Afghanistan, controlling territory in some parts of the country and ruling with the harsh hand the group is notorious for in Iraq and Syria, according to officials, military leaders and analysts. IS expansion into Afghanistan has been a concern for both Afghan and international authorities for months, with officials warning that the militant group was actively recruiting members from other Islamic militant groups, including the rival Taliban.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. military says it will investigate an airstrike carried out in southern Afghanistan after local officials said 11 police and counter-narcotics agents were killed. Brig. Gen. Wilson Shoffner says in a statement issued Tuesday that "based on information we received today, we feel it is prudent to investigate the airstrike our forces conducted in Kandahar" on Sunday.
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Just five years ago, when Aung San Suu Kyi was still under house arrest, she commented that one day she hoped to get a Twitter account and chat with the outside world. On Tuesday, the opposition leader kicked off campaigning for Myanmar's historic Nov. 8 general election with a Facebook post — one of many signs of how far the country and its most recognizable politician have come in a few years.
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Campaigning kicked off Tuesday for Myanmar's Nov. 8 general election, which is expected to be the Southeast Asian country's most credible vote in more than a half-century. A long-ruling junta made way for a civilian government more than four years ago, but the military still retains a powerful role, and political and economic reforms have been stymied by persistent ethnic strife and natural disasters. Associated Press writers based across Asia who have covered Myanmar for many years outline the key issues at stake: ___
ISLAMABAD (AP) — A senior Pakistani official is expressing optimism that recent tensions with neighboring India over the bitterly disputed Kashmir region can be defused. Sartaj Aziz, national security and foreign affairs adviser to the Pakistani prime minister, said Tuesday that the commander of Pakistan's border forces will travel to New Delhi Wednesday to meet his Indian counterpart.
In this photo by Tsering Topgyal, people cover their faces and run in smoke as a municipal worker fumigates a residential area to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in New Delhi. Civic authorities are taking action to prevent dengue fever after a sharp rise in the mosquito-borne disease. Press Trust of India says this year's total of nearly 1,260 cases in New Delhi is the highest in five years. Dengue can cause fever, severe joint pain and headaches. There is no treatment.
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won a new term as president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Tuesday after facing no opposition for the job. He told reporters afterward that he would push his ongoing economic revival plan, saying "Abenomics is still partway through."
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A U.N. agency is mounting a worldwide campaign for equal pay for women, who get 24 percent less than men on global average and around 30 percent less for those in Asia. Recent estimates by the International Labor Organization shows gender inequality in employment across Asia alone is costing $45 billion a year, with 45 percent of working-age women outside the labor force compared to 19 percent for men, the leader of the U.N. Women agency, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, told a forum at the Asian Development Bank headquarters.
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A multi-million dollar deal to resettle refugees from an Australia-run detention camp on the Pacific nation of Nauru to Cambodia has been irreparably damaged by a Rohingya refugee's decision to go home to Myanmar, the opposition and refugee advocates said on Tuesday. Only four refugees — two Iranian men, an Iranian woman and the Rohingya man — took up the offer of cash, free health insurance and accommodation to resettle from Nauru to a gated coFAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney RayRIVERDALE PARK, Md. (AP) — Police say a man apparently on PCP withstood several rounds of shocks from a stun gun and pepper spray before officers could take him into custody.
Riverdale Park Police Chief David Morris commended officers for their restraint during the confrontation Friday at a McDonald's, where they responded to a call about a man throwing chairs who appeared to be hallucinating.
Morris says that the man had minor injuries and that officers arguably saved his life.
The chief says the man, 41-year-old Marcus Moycherilli of Washington, was charged by criminal summons with assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
___
This story has been corrected to show the last name of the suspect is Moycherilli, not Moycherielli. Morrogh says he will not bring criminal charges against jail deputies who used a stun gun on a restrained inmate who later died.
Morrogh released a report Tuesday calling the death of 37-year-old Natasha McKenna a "tragic accident." He had been evaluating whether to bring charges for the past two months.
McKenna, who was African-American, died in February, days after a team of deputies used a hood and a stun gun on McKenna while she was in restraints during a cell transfer. McKenna had a history of mental illness and had previously attacked a deputy.
A medical examiner had previously ruled her death accidental.
Her death remains the subject of a federal civil rights investigationmmunity in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh in early June.
BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese court publicly apologized to 19 people it wrongfully convicted of financial crimes in a rare show of contrition by the country's authoritarian and highly opaque legal system. The apology from the People's High Court for the eastern province of Anhui appeared in a local newspaper on Monday. The court said it wished to help restore the reputations of the individuals, all of whom were imprisoned in 2012 on charges of illegal fundraising, or fraud.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A large fire engulfed a popular nightclub in the Cambodian capital, killing at least five women who were trapped in one of the rooms, an official said Tuesday. Two men were critically injured. The fire apparently started in the sound mixing room about two hours before the Key Club nightclub was to open at 10 p.m. Monday evening, said Col. Neth Vantha, chief of the Phnom Penh fire department.
