Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods of learning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centered, expecting students to discover things for themselves rather than relying on their teachers to tell them. An extreme version of the student-centered approach can be seen at Summerhill, a school in England established by the educationalist A. S. Neill. ThereEducation in the WestSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningB R _ Education in the West 2children have complete freedom to decide what they are going to learn and which lessons they will attend. If they wish they need not attend any at all. Mainstream education in England is far more strict, demanding that children attend lessons and follow a national curriculum. This curriculum and the importance of achieving good exam results tend to reinforce a more teacher-centered approach, as both teachers and students find the pressure of time leaves less opportunity for an exploratory approach to learning.Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingDetailed ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningB R _ Warm-up Questions 1Warm-up Questions1. 2. 3.

EUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studyingarts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.D R _ Text 1LEARNING, CHINESE-STYLERussell BakerUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Readingage and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.D R _ Text 2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box.Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it. Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tenderUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingD R _ Text 3 Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. AnyChinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamins hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The “teacher” would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties.Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinese educators. TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN With a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel. Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot, which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child is neither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, what possible gain is achieved by having him struggle? D R _ Text 4Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading He may well get frustrated and angry certainly not a desirable outcome. Why not show him what to do? He will be happy, he will learn how to accomplish the task sooner, and then he can proceed to more complex activities, like opening the door or asking for the key both of which accomplishments can (and should) in due course be modeled for him as well. We listened to such explanations sympathetically and explained that, first of all, we did not much care whether Benjamin succeeded in inserting the key into the slot. He was having a good time and was exploring, two activities that did matter to us. But the critical point was that, in the process, we were trying to teach Benjamin that one can solve a problem effectively by oneself. D R _ Text 5Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingD R _ Text 6 Such self-reliance is a principal value of child rearing in middle-class America. So long as the child is shown exactly how to do something whether it be placing a key in a key slot, drawing a hen or making up for a misdeed he is less likely to figure out himself how to accomplish such a task. And, more generally, he is less likely to view life as Americans do as a series of situations in which one has to learn to think for oneself, to solve problems on ones own and even to discover new problems for which creative solutions are wanted.Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading TEACHING BY HOLDING HIS HAND In retrospect, it became clear to me that this incident was indeed key and key in more than one sense. It pointed to important differences in the educational and artistic practices in our two countries. When our well-intentioned Chinese observers came to Benjamins rescue, they did not simply push his hand down clumsily or uncertainly, as I might have done. Instead, they guided him with extreme facility and gentleness in precisely the desired direction. I came to realize that these Chinese were not just molding and shaping Benjamins performance in any old manner: In the best Chinese tradition, they were ba zhe shou jiao “teaching by holding his hand” so much so that he would happily come back for more.D R _ Text 7Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingD R _ Text 8 The idea that learning should take place by continual careful shaping and molding applies equally to the arts. Watching children at work in a classroom setting, we were astonished by their facility. Children as young as 5 or 6 werepainting flowers, fish and animals with the skill and confidence of an adult; calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works that could have been displayed in a museum. In a visit to the homes of two of the young artists, we learned from their parents that they worked on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading CREATIVITY FIRST? In terms of attitudes to creativity there seems to be a reversal of priorities: young Westerners making their boldest departures first and then gradually mastering the tradition; and young Chinese being almost inseparable from the tradition, but, over time, possibly evolving to a point equally original. One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. D R _ Text 9Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the “Standing on the shoulders of giants” phenomenon).

Compound interest is the interest paid on both the original sum of money and the interest added to it. A deposit, for example, may have its interest compounded every month. In this case, an investment with $100 original sum of money and 1% interest per month would have a balance of $101 at the end of the first month, $102.01 at the end of the second month, and so on.

Yet the solution, David Owen suggests, is simple just open a bank. Easier said than done?

The kids are attracted at first by the notion that a bank will pay them for doing nothing, but their enthusiasm disappears when they realize that the interest rate is tiny and, furthermore, their parents dont intend to give them access to their principal. To a kid, a savings account is just a black hole that swallows birthday checks. Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningKid: Parent: Kid: Parent: Kid (suspicious): “Grandma gave me twenty-five dollars!” “How nice.

It will help you go to college.”Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningS R _ Reading _ text 5 The main defect in such saving schemes is that theres nothing in them for the kids. College is a thousand years away, and they probably think theyd just as soon stay home anyway. Indeed, the true purpose of such plans is usually not to promote saving but to prevent consumption. Appalled by what their children spend on candy and video games (or, rather, appalled by the degree to which their childrens overspending seems to mimic their own), parents devise ways to lock up their childrens resources. Not surprisingly, kids quickly decide that large sums arent real money and that all cash should either be spent immediately or hidden in a drawer.Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningS R _ Reading _ text 6 To avoid this problem with my two children, I started my own bank. Its called the First National Bank of Dave. I set up an account for each child, using the same computer program I use to keep track of my checkbook. Because I wanted my kids deposits to grow at a pace that would hold their attention, I offered an attractive interest rate five per cent a month. Compounded, that works out to an annual rate of more than 70 per cent. (No, I dont accept deposits from strangers.) Allowances are deposited automatically on the first day of each month. The kids can make other deposits, or withdrawals, whenever they like.Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of Learning The Bank of Dave, which has been in operation four years, instantly turned both my children into keen savers. My son still comes to me with change he has found on the floor of the car, saying, “And credit this today.” Both kids accounts grew so fast that after two years I had to roll back my monthly interest rate to three per cent. The kids protested when I announced the change, but they nodded solemnly when I explained that the law of supply and demand applies even to the supply of money. The kids help me calculate their interest a useful lesson in averaging and percentages. I give them unlimited access to their funds, no questions asked, and I provide printed statements on demand.S R _ Reading _ text 7Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingUnit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of Learning The high rate of interest is not the only attractive feature of the Bank of Dave. Equally important from the kids point of view is that their accounts belong to them. When they save, they harvest the benefit; when they want to spend, they dont need permission. Children who have no control over their own funds have no incentive not to beg for money and then spend every dollar that comes into their hands. The way to help children become rational consumers is to give them more control, not less.
