It has caused a great discussion in China and in many countries of the West. What can educators learn from each other? Forum（论坛）readers share their opinions.Ted M（UK）Students in China are raised to study for long hours, with great expectations（期望）and demands. Yet they have little social life and there is no encouragement for joy of lifelong learning. In the West, students are taught to enjoy learning, questioning, active learning and problem solving. They have a broad and balanced education, including social learning. Leonard Wong（Singapore）The Chinese language requires rote（死记硬背）learning. It seems boring, but it trains the mind to focus（关注）on what is important and good study habits. These habits offer them a lot even at a later age. More could be done to encourage children to express their opinions about the things they meet.Michael M（US）My personal belief is that the biggest advantages of Chinese secondary education are:1. Longer hours at school. 2. Full of challenges. 3. Students are expected higher. 4. More lecture-based lessons. This is great preparation for college. TAL123（China）If I had a child, I think Id consider Chinese education for part of their learning. I think the middle school years are a good time for them to develop strong basic skills in math, reading and memory, etc, that the Chinese system teaches well. But children need the freedom to explore, express, inquire and understand. In my view, the chief weakness in Chinas system is that students usually cant do things by themselves. Students do not become good learners, they only become good test takers.Different people have different opinions on what is right and wrong with teaching and learning. Each country has its own unique（独特的）educational culture that is a product of years, centuries of experiment and practice, and which reflects（反映）the traditional values of its society.Education: Learning from each otherDifferent 1 PersonChinese Education 2 EducationTed M Study for long hours with little social life.
