     In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches

something behind-the culture (文化) of the country.

     In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and

they pay much attention to personal ideas, Teachers try to make each student special. Students to do not have

to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves, There is often discussion

in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal

thought (思想). The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan often work

together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional.

The teacher says, and the students listen, There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat (重复)

rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

     In many ways these differences come form different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are

taught to help students to learn. They make is easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian

countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.
