Differences Between Chinese Students and American Students
Hello, my name is Lily and I am a 10-year-old student. I have lived in both China and the United States, so I have experienced the school systems in both countries. I want to share with you some of the biggest differences I have noticed between Chinese students and American students.
In China, the school days are much longer than in America. We start classes at 7:30am and don't get out until 5pm or later! There is a short lunch break, but otherwise we are in classes all day long. The classes are also much bigger, with 40-50 students in each room. In America, the school day is shorter, usually from 8am to 3pm. And the class sizes are smaller, with 20-30 kids.
Another big difference is the subjects we study. In China, we spend a huge amount of time on core subjects like math, Chinese language, and science. We have those classes every single day. Other subjects like art, music, and P.E. are considered
less important extras. But in America, we spend more time on a variety of subjects - not just math and language but also social studies, art, music, P.E., computers, and more.
The teaching styles are really different too. Chinese teachers are very strict! We have to sit up straight, never talk out of turn, and always obey the teacher. If we mess up, we can get punished or have to stay after school. The teachers lecture from the textbooks and we take a ton of notes. Tests are everything - our whole future depends on getting good scores.
American teachers are more relaxed. We can raise our hands and ask questions during class. We do more hands-on activities and group projects instead of just taking notes. There is less pressure about testing, although we do have standardized tests. Overall the classroom atmosphere feels more fun and less stressful.
At home, Chinese parents put a crazy amount of pressure on their kids to succeed academically. It's like getting good grades is the most important thing in the whole world. My friends in China have no free time because they have so much homework and after-school tutoring sessions. Their parents are constantly nagging them to study harder.
American parents still want their kids to do well in school, but there isn't the same intense pressure. Parents care about well-rounded development, not just academics. They encourage extracurricular activities like sports, clubs, music, art. And parents give their kids a longer leash, more independence and free time after school.
In my experience, Chinese students are super disciplined and work incredibly hard. We practically have no childhoods - just study, study, study from dawn until midnight. I was always exhausted! American students have more balanced lives. We still work hard in school, but also have time to play sports, hang out with friends, explore hobbies, and just be kids.
Chinese students are bathroom smart - we can pass all the tests and recite facts and formulas like robots. But American students develop better life skills and people skills. We learn how to think for ourselves, solve problems creatively, communicate well, and work together on teams.
Of course, these are broad generalizations and every student is an individual. But overall, the school experience in China and America is very different. The cultures just have different priorities and philosophies about education.
In China, the focus is on collective success through competition and rote learning. Conformity, obedience, and studying like crazy are the priorities. Parents and teachers apply immense academic pressure from a young age.
In America, the focus is more on individual growth and well-rounded development. Students have more freedom, less pressure, and a bigger emphasis on social skills, creativity, and hands-on learning.
So which approach is better? Honestly, I'm not sure. There are pros and cons to each system. The Chinese system produces lots of talented students who are super knowledgeable and score at the top academically. But it also crushes kid's individuality and creativity.
The American system allows for more childhood and
self-discovery. But it doesn't push kids as hard academically from an early age. Personally, I wish there could be a balance - the accountability and hard work from China, combined with the freedom, creativity, and less stress of America.
Every child is different, so different philosophies can work for different kids. But those are some of the key differences I've experienced between Chinese students and American students.
It has been an interesting journey being educated in both cultures! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Differences Between Chinese Students and American Students
Hi there! My name is Li Ming and I'm a 5th grade student in China. I've always been really curious about what school is like in other countries. A few weeks ago, my class had a video call with some 5th graders from the United States. It was so interesting to learn about their daily lives and routines as students! After talking to them, I realized there are quite a few differences between how kids experience school in China compared to the US. Let me tell you about some of the big ones I noticed.
First off, the schedule is really different. Here in China, our school days are much longer - we start around 7:30am and don't get out until 5pm or later. We have a short lunch break, but otherwise we're in class pretty much the whole time. The American students were surprised to hear that! For them, school runs more like 8am to 3pm with longer breaks for recess and lunch. Their days are way shorter than ours.
The classes we take are kind of different too. Chinese students spend a lot more time on the "main" subjects like math, Chinese language arts, and science. We have those core classes every single day. The American students have those too, but they also have lots of other ''special" classes like art, music, computer class, gym class, and so on. Those rotate on different days. In China, we really only focus on the academics.
Another big difference is homework. Oh man, do Chinese students get a lot of homework! It's pretty normal for me to have 3-4 hours of homework every night across all my subjects. The American kids' jaws dropped when I told them that. They said they usually just have around 1 hour of homework or less. I can't even imagine having that little!
Speaking of homework, there's also a difference in how it's viewed. Chinese parents, teachers, and students see homework as really important work that has to get done perfectly. It's a really big deal if you don't complete it or don't do it well. But from what the American students told me, homework is more casual and just seen as practice. It's not that big of a deal if they don't do it all or don't do it perfectly.
This one surprised me: American students don't have to wear school uniforms! At my school, we all have to wear
uniforms - shirts, pants, and all. It's so weird to me to think of just wearing casual clothes to school. The American kids loved the freedom of being able to wear whatever.
I've also noticed American students call their teachers by their first names, like "Ms. Jennifer." That's unheard of in China - we always use very formal titles likeTeacher Wang or Teacher Zhang. It seems disrespectful to me to call a teacher by just their first name!
American schools and classrooms also seem more relaxed and flexible from what I could tell. Students are allowed to snack or drink beverages during class. We absolutely can't do that - no food or drinks other than water are allowed. And the American kids told me their classrooms have beanbags, couches, rugs, and flexibility to move desks into different arrangements. Our classrooms in China are really strict rows of individual desks that can't be moved. Everything is very rigid.
The biggest difference might be in the attitude towards testing. Now, every student in every country has to take tests. But the weight placed on them seems really different in China compared to America. Here, test scores are everything. How you do on major exams like the Gaokao can literally determine your whole future and what opportunities you have. There's immense
pressure to perform well. From speaking to the American students though, it doesn't seem that intense for them. Tests are still important, but not like make-or-break for your life. They're more casual about it.
Those were the main differences I picked up on from my chat with the American 5th graders. Of course, every school and student is a bit different, but those seemed to be the major things. Don't get me wrong, there were some similarities too! All kids have to go to school, take certain classes, do homework, and learn stuff. But a lot of the details are quite different between our two countries.
I think there are pros and cons to both education systems. The American way seems more relaxed and balanced, but maybe not quite as rigorous academically. The Chinese way is incredibly hard work, but it does produce excellent students. I guess it just depends on what each country values more.
Personally, I don't know if I'd want to trade places. As tough as school is in China, it's what I'm used to. Could you imagine how shocked I'd be to have such short days and so little homework if I went to school in America? It'd be awesome at first...but then I'd probably just feel lazy! What do you think -
would you prefer the American style of education or the Chinese one? Let me know!

Chinese Students and American Students: A Big Difference!
Hey there! I'm a 5th grader and I have something really interesting to tell you about. You see, my family moved from China to the United States last year. So I went from being a student in a Chinese elementary school to being a student at an American elementary school. And let me tell you, there are some pretty big differences between Chinese students and American students!
The biggest difference is probably how we act in class. In my old school in China, the classes were always really quiet. The teacher would be teaching, and we would all be listening carefully and taking notes. If anyone made any noise or disruption, they would get in really big trouble. We had to raise our hands to ask or answer questions, and we weren't allowed to just blurt things out.
Here in America, it's a totally different story! The classrooms are so noisy with students calling out, whispering to their friends, making jokes, and the teachers have to keep telling everyone to
settle down. At first, I was shocked at how loud and disorderly it was. In China, a class that noisy would be completely unacceptable. The students would all get disciplined big time.
Another major difference is how much homework we get. Back in my Chinese school, I remember having piles and piles of homework every night, for every subject - math, Chinese, science, you name it. My parents were always on my case to finish all my homework before I could go play. Here in America though, I barely get any homework at all! Just a little bit here and there. My American friends think I'm crazy when I tell them how much homework Chinese students have to do.
Schoolwork itself is also really different. In China, we spent a lot of time memorizing things like texts, math formulas, historical facts and dates, and definitions. The tests were all about recalling those memorized facts. In America though, the focus seems to be more on understanding concepts, creative thinking, and applying knowledge in new ways. The tests ask more
open-ended questions instead of just recalling facts.
One big shock for me was how relaxed American teachers are compared to Chinese teachers. My teachers in China were very strict all the time. They would scold us harshly if we broke any rules, and we had to address them in an extremely respectful
way. American teachers are a lot more casual and friendly with their students. They joke around, give high fives, and let some things slide that a Chinese teacher would never allow.
School schedules are quite different too. In China, we had a longer school day from very early morning until late afternoon or evening, with only a short lunch break. The days were packed with academics like math, language, science, history and very little free time. At my American school though, the days are much shorter. We have more time for meals, recess to run around and play, and classes like music, art, and P.E. that aren't so focused on academics.
Those are the biggest differences I've noticed so far. I think Chinese and American school systems have their own strengths and weaknesses for sure. Part of me misses the discipline and strong academics from my Chinese school days. But I also really enjoy the more relaxed, creative, and fun style of American schools. I'm lucky to have experienced both!
Maybe American schools could learn something from how hard Chinese students work and the respect they have for teachers. And maybe Chinese schools could learn from the creativity, cooperative learning, and freedom that American
students get to enjoy. A perfect school would have the best of both worlds, in my opinion.
Well, that's my two cents as a student experiencing two very different education systems! It's been a bit of a culture shock, but I'm slowly getting used to the American way of doing things. Hopefully, this gives you a little peek into the lives of students on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Let me know if you have any other questions!。
