Chinese School(中式学校) In 2015, the BBC made a documentary named Are Our Kids Tough Enough?Chinese School.Five teachers from China came to a British school and taught 50 British students one month with Chinese education.After 4 weeks, the students in the Chinese school were tested against their British counterparts. In this month, a series of conflict between the Chinese and British cultures, the educational systems ,and the educational concept became the main theme throughout the documentary. The first thing Chinese teachers did was to start “old routines” that have almost become the norm in Chinese primary and secondary schools: the flag-rising ceremony, the morning exercise, and the uniform. Ms. Yang and Mr. Zou pointed out that the flag-raising ceremony was “a manifestation of a sense of belonging” and through it, a “sense of national pride” was “born”.They thought the morning exercise was a way to train collective sense .And they saw the uniform as a tool to erase students’ learning ability and family background in external.But students saw the uniform as a restriction on their personality.Luca said“I don’t like it. It feels so odd for me.”“Look!They are basically parachutes” For Chinese students, the teacher had absolute authority.But this was unreasonable for British students who studied in a free environment .The students, represented by Sophie, believed that doing their own things in the classroom was a matter of personal freedom.Although Teacher Yang emphasized classroom discipline over and over again, students didn’t care about it . She felt so exhausted that she started crying. Besides,the Chinese school day was a 12 hour marathon.It’s almost twice as long in class as their British counterparts.And teachers delivered the knowledge by just writing on board in a very traditional fashion.Many students had difficulty adapting, and some of them even skipped class. Faced with these situations, the Chinese teachers decided to make a change .
