等待超人

let them shine～ let them shine～ “I wanna go to college because I want my kids to live in a better place” Being a teacher means 你承载着全社会的梦想 这个职业太重要 美国意识到了 我突然想起一件事情 有个舍友跟过我和另外一个舍友说 想不明白为什么你们会想当老师 碰到调皮的孩子不会很生气吗 另外一个舍友回答 她随缘渡人 我说 难道你不会好奇他们为什么会养成这种性格吗 不好奇education到底怎么样影响人 怎么样把人影响好吗 我真的是strongly believe in 我要做的不仅仅是present the knowledge 更是 guide them through their lives Besides 我弟弟半年前也经历过“lottery” harsh for me to 看到他们present抽奖现场 他们1 in 10 或者5 都keep fingercrossed through the whole process 我们呢 我们呢 1 in 5000？我们的情况 比美国更迫切 to change the education system to make good teachers and then to have a better education system for our kids

这部纪录片是通识课的老师推荐的 看完后真的感触颇多

教育真的很重要 公平的教育更重要 “运气”是不公平的 最后的抽签情节真的给我看哭了TT 没被选上的孩子会不会从这里就觉得“哦 我是不会被选中的人”呢 母爱真的很伟大TT

KIPP 和 the baby college真的好厉害 很有开创性 让人们意识到每一个孩子都能通过受教育而变成更好的人 包括那些贫困、家庭有问题的“差孩子”

官僚体制和教师工会确实是阻碍发展的绊脚石 下放过多的自主权也是不行的 教师工会保护的是一群不上进的老师.. 这里面的关系错综复杂 所以真的很佩服Michalle Rhee 好有魄力

希望以后自己可以成为一名优秀的老师！

自勉！！

This semester , I took a course called looking at American education through movies . At the first class , our teacher showed us a documentary called waiting for superman . It gives me a lot new ideas about American and American education after watching it.

Waiting for "Superman" is a 2010 American documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim and produced by Lesley Chilcott . By following five students , the film criticizes the American public education system : inequity of education resources , teachers do not take work seriously , bloated public education system …These problems have led to a decline in the quality of education in the United States : the grades of reading and math have not improved since 1970s , a lot students can not be admitted into university , increase of crime rate …

The film changes my view of America . I have not been to America before , the way I know about America just is watching American movies . especially Hollywood movies . In my old view , America is the best nation in the world , it has the best university , people all over the world want to go to America . It seems that everything is perfect , and there is no issues in America. But the film tells me that problems are everywhere , no matter in America .

I got known that American education and Chinese education have both Commonality and differences . America and China both have public education system , which is free for every students . However , America private education is well developed , while Chinese is not . The best schools in America are private schools . But on the contrary , the best schools in China are established by government. Perhaps it is may because of the culture and history . Besides , the education system of America and China is same . A kid will get into primary school when he grows up , and then junior school , high school . When he Reach the appropriate level , he will be admitted into a university . That is same as China . Another difference I find is that assessment method between America and China is different . We Chinese students have to take gaokao before we get into university , and there are six course exams in gaokao . But students in America is examined by reading and math ability .

The above is my observation . All in all , education is a very important part to the development of human being . As the end of the film said , good education is not from superman , it is from everyone of us . We should take it seriously and take actions . By the way , if there is any chance , I would like to go to America to experience American education by myself .
