中国学霸和外国学霸

文/黄金艾琳

今天下了一天的雨。

今天Happy和Lucky的第二胎迷你鹦鹉鱼宝宝出生了。

今天跟一个外教聊起了中国和外国学霸的区别。

These two people take the same test and get the exact same score but for 2 very different reasons.

You can imagine the Chinese "Top student " studied the content of the test for years. She will know every answer to every question because she spent countless hours preparing for the test.

The American "Top student" didn’t study the test at all. Instead he spent many years reading, writing, and teaching others about the many different subjects and topics he learned. He doesn’t know any of the answers to any of the questions, they’re all unfamiliar to him. But he can quickly draw from his breadth of knowledge and treat the test as a problem to be solved.

我们的教育让孩子没有感受到学习是快乐的。我们让他们知道了学习是有方法、有技巧、有途径的。我们让他们知道了学习的结果是有等级、有区别、有差异的。学的好，就可以找到“好”的工作，学的不好，就只能去当工人。当工人，又累，又挣得少，是不好的，所以谁都不想去当工人。

子曰“有教无类”，如今，学习有三六九等，工作也有，所以每个人都要努力成为那个“高等”的人，否则，就是失败的人生。在这样的大背景下，所有的人都被卷进一个漩涡，你想不进去，你需要抵御更大的外部压力，而你卷进去，就只能随着漩涡不停的旋转，没有终点。
