INTERVIEWER: What do Eastern and Western family education share in shaping a child’s mind and character?
INTERVIEWEE: Parental guidance is probably the first thing. Both the east and the west emphasize the quality of family life. A child very often imitates time parents and he is likely to regard whatever the parents do as positive.
INTERVIEWER: Parents sometimes have moments of embarrassment with their children, for example, what do you think is the most reasonable way of answering children’s questions such as how they were born and why their parents sleep together while putting them in their own rooms?
INTERVIEWEE: In America because we have so many different religions and cultures that at present everybody has their own taboos and about what to do. Every family and culture has its own definition of sexual morality. Some parents are very frank, they’ll tell the child from a very early age when they start questioning about sex.
INTERVIEWER: How is sex education conducted in a typical American school?
INTERVIEWEE: In primary school education we leave the parents to handle that. By the time of junior high school when their bodies are changing, they have the health classes or PE classes. You have the boys and girls over and they are going to talk about the physical changes. And by the time they go to high school, they have a health class, which talks about sexual problems and diseases.
INTERVIEWER: Another difference between Eastern and Western education is that the Asian teaching method is much more test-oriented. How many national tests do you have or do you have national tests for entering universities?
INTERVIEWEE: There are two national exams for entering college: the SAT and the ACT. But we have to emphasize here that theses exams are optional. They are not required by every school in America, and in fact most state schools don’t require them at all if you live in the United States. So when you’re at your last year of high school, the question is "Do you want to go to college?"
INTERVIEWER: It seems that they don’t have as much pressure as the students in China.
INTERVIEWEE: Right. We give students more room to grow as learners. They know that the exams are important but they don’t decide who you am and what kind of student you are. I think that is one of the biggest differences between Chinese education and American education.
INTERVIEWER: Asian students usually score the highest in math and science in the world. What comments do you have on this?
INTERVIEWEE: There has been a saying in many top American universities lately: "If you see so many Asian faces in your class on the first day of the semester, drop it out". I think in a way this is a good summary for the excellent academic performance of Asian students. But at the same time, we have to admit that Asian students do not do an equally good job in their laboratories. I think this is partly because too much emphasis has been placed on test results instead of their ability of using their hands. INTERVIEWER: Now the last question before we end this interview. What should we as parents and teachers do to make children be more creative and innovative?
INTERVIEWEE: I think we should have more discussion classes, both at the primary and secondary levels. We should take the time to make the child be interested in the world around them and question everything they know and to seek their own truth as well, but at the same time, be a guide that can show them how to find the answers themselves.
