There are mainly two kinds of schools in America, public school and private school. The public schools are supported by the state funds and the private schools are privately supported. While in China, almost schools are supported by the country.

The American educational system is considered one of the worst in the world with very badly paid teachers. The man collecting garbage in the streets earns more money than American teachers. There are very overcrowded classrooms and some schools do not have enough money to look after their students properly. While most schools of China seem to be very rich and the teachers are highly respected and well paid.

One of famous American teaching belief is “No Child Left Behind”. The American think that the students should be taught by their own abilities, and in doing so, no student must be left behind. There is no doubt that American education is a pure mass education. However, to some degree, Chinese education is still an Elite (精英)education.

“Creativity First” is a philosophy that American schools excitated激发) students. American education emphasizes the importance of creative thinking, while Chinese education emphasizes the comprehension of knowledge.

In American classroom the student is the most important person not the teacher, while in Chinese classroom the teacher is the key figure. The American students like to express their own ideas in the class, while the Chinese students like to think in the class. Because of the large population, the competition in Chinese school is fiercer(激烈的). The American students look like lazier than the Chinese students because they do not have to compete to enter universities.

In my opinion, although there are many differences between American education and Chinese education, it is very difficult to tell which educational system is more effective than the other.
