5、e knowledge especially those cramming lectures will make children's brain become hard drives, and they will lose the ability of initiative thinking their law prohibit children from being educated in advance most educational experts said: growing up happily and innocently is the only task for the

6、 preschool children. the experts thought playing is the nature which kids are born with, as for parents, they do not go against the rule of children's growing. the germanic education stresses on learning through the game.1) in the kindergarten, there are multi-age students in a class, teachers d

7、on9t divide big-class or small-class because of age. the purpose is to teach them how to get along with other people, and to form good habit, fraternal cooperation, and ways of thinking and doing however, in china, they get down to study grade one books, in case they can not keep up with some "

8、genius” but actually, there is not necessary to do that, what they currently learn will be taught in grade one, and it is not so difficult for this age to learn.2) in the primary school, students ended their routine study at noon, in the afternoon, they dortt need to attend extra lessons, unless the

9、y are interested in swimming and art, and the other students will stay at home on the contrary, chinese pupils are required to learn in a full-time school. it means they spend all day in school. they study from 7a.m to 5p.m after school they are forced to participate in all kinds of skill lesson, fo

11、 the tough study. so far, people might concerned a matter that germany students will lose at the starting line, and chinese student are superior to them. in reality, despite those controversies and evaluations of the two countries, there is a real statistic that almost half of the germans are awarde

15、 when he was young, his father told him a lot encourage words though he can't fully understand the meaning of it, he acquired much confidence and power. even if he got 59 points in the last exam, he got 60 points this time parents should be proud of the 1 point improvement. one after one praise

16、will contribute to the great and strong children's self-confidence therefore, the recognition and praise is the original spring of kiefs self-confidence. by the way, in german primary school, teachers often give the 1 to 6 points, instead of marking with specific points and the points are only k

17、nown by themselves and their parents. it can avoid the unrealistic comparisons and children's self-confidence while in china, parents care about the exact marks, and children are asked for 100 points, they afraid the 99 points will cause the strict scold and punishments from their parents. and e

18、ventually, they are crazy for becoming no.l and they seek for the fame and gain rather than the truth and knowledge. there is a misconception among chinese people that the champion got everything, but they don't aware of they are losing something important to them gradually, and over competitive

20、cation is different. the chinese parents lay emphasis on social enlightenment, ignore the growth of children. the chinese parents take the social compatible enlightenment seriously, but often neglect the development of children's characteristics, they often train the children under established f

21、orms, and lay down the broad road for their growth the western parents provide the children a environment for growth resistant to them, and foster their tenacious individuality and the good conduct, and they choose their idea and way of cultivation according to the change of society and the characte

22、ristic of children physical and mental.secondly, the value of education is different. the function of china's education is forced by the china's traditional culture. the chinese traditional confucian culture emphasize "the cultivation of one's moral character, the running of one'

23、;s family, the administration of a state, the peace and security of the world". in this directional thought, the education is bestowed on the direct social significance. in addition, the chinese traditional culture also regards the education and children's individual growth as the direct co

28、ren choose the college according to their own likes, instead of taking "famous or top college as the decision factor. the chinese likes to compare their own chilcfs merits with other child's shortcomings, in which the parents may seek self-consolation. the western family often introspect th

29、eir own child's merits and success, is not accustomed to seeking to do others down. to summarize, chinese family often wants to highlight own image, disparages others unintentionally in the comparison; the western family often pays great attention to his own self-respect, self-possession, own ha
