Ye Feng just entered the second grade this year. He has a very good impression of him, both teachers and classmates, mainly because this child is polite to everyone.

He went to a private school, which is the so-called aristocratic school. He was also the only person in the Ye family to attend aristocratic school. It can be seen how much Meihua loves this grandson.

All the facilities in the school are professionally level. Even lunches have reached the level of star hotels. There is no way, if the tuition fee of 100,000 US dollars a year is not good, where will the superiority be reflected?

After arriving at school, Ye Feng told a few friends about insurance. As a result, the little guys didn't care and directly paid him to ask him to sponsor it. As for what kind of pets, he asked him to fill in it casually.

What Ye Feng wanted was naturally not like this. After thinking for a while, he went to find the teacher. This class was a reading class, and the teacher was drinking coffee on the podium.

Many Chinese people do not know about American primary schools and think that there are few primary schools there, which is actually a mistake. Don’t look at it just elementary schools, the course content is very rich, and they focus on cultivating students’ practical creativity.

Primary school mainly learns some basic courses, including English reading, writing and understanding, mathematics, humanities and social sciences, science, music, art, sports, etc.

Teachers will not focus on students' grades, but also test their children's participation in class, their daily practical ability and service spirit.

The most different thing about American primary schools and primary schools within the system is the degree of attention the school pays attention to reading. Children will be encouraged to read a large number of books of various types, including novels, non-fictions, celebrity biographies, etc.

This kind of large amount of reading will be of great help to children in the future to develop critical thinking and develop the habit of reading from an early age.

Generally, students will read a new book every week. In class, the teacher will explain the content and ask everyone’s thoughts for a group discussion.

Every day when students go home, they need to read 20 to 40 minutes and write their own reading report. Persistence in reading is very helpful to improve their thinking ability. It not only improves Chinese language level, but also improves their thinking ability in other subjects.

American primary schools have requirements for the types of books to read. According to the Common Core State Standard CCSS outline, the proportion of reading types of primary schools is half of non-story and story books each. As the grade increases, the proportion of non-story (science, information) books will increase.

They mostly cultivate children's interest in reading in primary school, but as they get older, teachers will ask students to read some relatively less interesting documentary books, which is also a training and improvement of children's thinking.

Elementary school will write at least twice a week on a fixed topic. In class, teachers will have half of their time introducing grammar and the other half of their time letting students write independently.

The writing course has a variety of topics, which may be imaginary articles or practical articles. The teacher will not score students' content, but will only look at their grammar and modify and notify the wrong places.

Generally speaking, grades 1 and 2 of American primary schools focus on accumulating words. Students should learn to write fluent words, correctly use punctuation sentences, and then practice some scene writing in life, etc. to lay a solid foundation. Primary school students above grade 3 need to practice writing on different issues, including narrative essays, explanatory essays, argumentative essays, fables, poetry, etc.

Mathematics in primary schools in the United States are relatively simpler than in China, because they pay more attention to the cultivation of children's interests and the development of independent thinking. In addition to the conventional four-character operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the course also has integer fractions, decimals, weights and measures, probability and statistics.

Students need to complete their homework, but the amount of homework is generally not large, with only one page of paper. The main function is to let children review and consolidate the knowledge they have learned today.

Their social science courses are also rich, but they are all relatively basic courses, guiding students to find their own learning interests.

Humanities and social science courses cover American history, world history, American geography, world geography, economics, citizenship literacy, etc. Science courses cover geoscience, life sciences, physical sciences, etc. In addition, there are some interest courses such as computers, speeches, etc.

Courses like humanities and social sciences are spiral upward structures, that is, each grade will cover these courses, but as the grade increases, the knowledge expands more broadly and the difficulty is deeper. This course learning structure allows students to learn the content of the *** course from shallow to deep, and firmly grasp the basic knowledge.

In addition to academic study, American primary schools also arrange physical education, music and art courses. After class, American primary schools can participate in sports activities such as basketball, baseball, and football to enrich their extracurricular life.

There is no concept of a class teacher in primary school classes. Each class only has one general subject teacher and teaches almost all courses.

This is different from the way teachers teach single subject courses within the system. Primary school students usually leave school at 3 pm, so they have a lot of time to do extracurricular activities.

Many American primary school parents will send their children to extracurricular classes, from after-school tutoring to physical education and art. Tutors will supervise their children to complete their homework and carry out interest courses. The Chinese language of American courses cultivates critical thinking through a lot of reading.

After reading an article, teachers like to leave open questions behind. Students will often think critically based on their own experience rather than thinking about what the author of the article is.

The curriculum system pays more attention to students' ability to analyze and solve problems in life. Many people think that mathematics in American primary schools is simpler than mathematics within the system, and this statement is actually correct.

Their computing ability is indeed not as good as that of Chinese students, but they have improved their logical reasoning ability through the observation, comparison, conjecture, analysis, and comprehensive training in learning, which is something that many Chinese students lack.

In fact, there is another biggest difference between teaching in the two countries, that is, calculation. Chinese students are not allowed to use calculators, while American students need calculators in their exams.

What can the authors not judge in this regard? Because they all have their own opinions, but according to their logic, that is:

"Since I have already developed this thing, why do I have to let the students do it? Mental calculations? Isn't that a waste of time?"

The teacher is a young girl in her twenties who is very beautiful. She is mainly easy-going and the children like her very much.

Seeing Ye Feng coming, the teacher immediately asked with a smile: "Our little cutie is here, let me guess, are you already finished the puzzle?"

Ye Feng nodded. To be honest, this puzzle is a bit simple for him, and it is something that can be accomplished by just ignoring his brain with his eyes. But he was still very happy to be praised by the teacher.
