American homework is difficult to fall in China Dad
I am a father who is "hated" China's current education, there is a daughter who is suffering from this kind of education.
I was "spit, I want to vomit" from my daughter's mouth. What's it? "When will I do it!"
Sometimes, my daughter also makes me a "standard answer" for the language or historical class to help her. This is some "standard answer", usually the daughter has not finished, I can't stand it, I also want to vomit, I also have a huge anger - it is a physiological disgust. Think of thousands of middle school students, stuffed these unreasoned only for the test and then abandoned the "standard answer", in the heart, have an inexplicable fear - relying on "back", can cultivate outward Future, is a new generation of people in the world? !
When the daughter has just started high, there is a chance to go to the United States. I certainly know that in the year of the college entrance examination, I am a great adventure --- with my daughter's results, I have a good university in China or it is still possible; I can go to the United States, I suddenly enter a complete unfamiliar English education system. Destiny is difficult to reverse. After repeated trade-off, I explain that all ritual and disadvantages, let the daughter choose. She did not hesitate to choose "walk".
Determined to "walk", I am in fact, my daughter, the daughter is for "burden", saying that American students are more relaxed; and I am to make my daughter can get the so-called "creative education" training. Although I have read a lot of books and articles about American education, my heart is always, but the "creative" is what is like, how come out, if not infiltrated, it is still a boiling, it is actually impossible to have a true experience .
I didn't think of the "creativity" of American education, I will make my father who is far away from the dad.
The daughter went to the fourth day in the United States to enter the best public middle school in Boston. First of all, let me be surprised, my daughter said that she didn't care for a few years. It turns out that every student in this school, in addition to the class, there is a "guiding teacher", responsible for the proposal to enter which grade study of each class according to the degree of student learning. As a result, the daughter's English, chemistry is 12th grade, mathematics and the American history in the 11th grade, French in the 9th grade - every class, daughter is "wandering" between different students, she doesn't understand myself. It is a few grades.
I have thought that my daughter first encountered the biggest problem in the United States. It is a language. As long as the language is passing, the science course has a domestic foundation, and "later is home". In the course that has not learned, the easiest should be the American history, "How many things in the" District 200 years have been there? "I am giving a daughter's email, even only a few thousand words, the American history. Telling it again. "It's so something, horizontal!"
As a result, let me fall in the glasses, it is precisely this "easiest" American history.
For more than ten days, the daughter sent "emergency assistance" email, together with more than ten exclamation. The daughter has never learned the history of the United States, and I entered the 11th grade. The two eyes can be imagined, and I have to read a Chinese American history. I have to pay a month. I am dad, first when two months of "walking stick" is unhusted. But when I watched the homework of the American teacher, I am stupid -? Is this the homework of middle school students?
"Civil Right" research papers
Requirements: between 3 and 5 sheets, print out, double empty line, at least 3 data sources (such as online, books, etc.), at least 5 sentences.
Compare the following four perspectives about Black-America: Booker T. Washington (Bark Washington, W.e.b. Dubois (Dubois), Martin Luther King, JR (Martin Road Gold), Malcolm X (Markha X). In your paper It should control the story about their lives, I don't want to read the biography. But I need to introduce everyone, but also in your paper in your paper. Then, discuss their views about the black USA, to take your thoughts Write it. Also, you have to list your citations or materials, such as a certain web page, a certain book.
The daughter said in the email: "The few people are black, but in addition to gold, I don't know how to translate ..."
I am deeply embarrassed to face this job. To put it, I am familiar with the American history, at least dozens of famous monologists, most of the head biography of the major US, all the presidents, and the difficulty of counting. However, this middle school students' ordinary homework makes me "hara". What is "black US"? At this time, I realized that research must read, and reading is not equal to research, and research must be written. In the past, when I read, I would like these questions - I have no impression in two people!
In order to help the daughter to adapt to this study, Dad must cope with this challenge. In two or three days, my life started "research" American history. Fortunately, there is very much about the American book, so crazy reading, the study is full of American historical works, Britain Encyclopedia and "American Reading", and plus network search. When the four black leaders' information is collected almost, I began to compare their opinions and practices. When I was writing, I was quite a lot of money, repeatedly pushed the point of view, and I wrote from the morning. At this time, my daughter took 10 books at the other side of the ocean, and it was also crazy.
Later, my daughter said "some" adopts my point of view, but the structure is very inspired by her: "The original papers are written!" We all watched the "judgment" of the American teacher. This is the first time for our father and daughters!
The teacher's comments are coming: "Wow! Excellent efforts and thesis. Your contact with these people is very good, accurate and very interesting. Good!" Rating: a.
This review made my child very much!
I thought that this difficult job will not be too much, but I can "ask for help" one after another, and every time I will haak half an hour. In these "research writing", I feel much to make up a lot of knowledge vulnerabilities, and these knowledge have formed "twin" relationship with their own point in writing, unforgettable.
Now I am listed two job topics, you know that these homework is!
About North and South War:
1. Do you agree that Lincoln President's statement about the United States cannot survive unless it is all of its liberation or all slavery? Explanation.
2. Explain why the Northern white oppose the slavery, the South White contributes the slavery, but they all feel that they are fighting for freedom?
3. What does freedom mean for black?
4. Lincoln President and Grant He said that after the civil war, the South should not be treated in rude. Why is this a clever policy? Explanation.
5. During the civil war, women began to have a lot of men's work. How can you make out what kind of generalization of social, economic and political conflicts caused by civil war? Constructing a debate, using historical evidence to support or oppose the following perspectives: US civil war is the unavoidable result of regional differences.
Philippines issue:
1. What kind of Americans may agree with Josiah Strong's "our country"? What kind of people will disagree? Why do they agree or disagree?
2. How does Bryan link "imperialism" with the Spanish territory? Do you think he does contact? why?
3. How does Lodge's quarters who have received this in the Philippines reflect the traditional American policy?
4. Do you think is the fate of the Philippines to deal with President of Mai Jinli to deal with the Philippines?
These two homework let me reread "Lincoln Biography" and "Nort-North War History", and the History of the Philippines has passed. According to China's standard, I think the students of the University History will also feel hard. Does the daughter have to eat? Will you lose weight?
The daughter said in the email: "This Philippine issue is a problem in the chapter of our 'imperialism and progressive'. Our history also has textbooks, but the teacher has never speaking, it is to let him go home. He sometimes gives us a video, and what is nothing to talk. The homework is to read a lot of materials to read, then answer questions or find a focus, and remember knowledge by letting us do some interesting homework. I have a single word to fill a word game, plan time line, and companions to complete maps, posters. The workload is particularly large, but interested. "
The daughter not only did not "reduce the burden" in the US education, but also only slept for three or four hours a night, once she only slept for an hour - because it encountered a homework job.
Just when the daughter's "help" email begins to be sparse (this means she has already begun to "Dad"), and suddenly receive a "fluff mail". I saw such a homework in the American school. I have been in the day ---
Make your home spectrum: Write the name and surrounded by the grandparents to your family's relatives.
This homework not only makes me also sighs my friends, this is to cultivate "find roots" awareness, don't forget the ancestors! Don't forget, "Where are you from?"
I once again left my grandfather when I was two years old until he had seen it again. I can't even say his name! I can't complete this job ...
Helpless, our whole family began "mobilization", starting "homework" based on a family spectrum that is not enough. Until this time I found out that China's family book is not remembered, and the family's women don't even even have a name. In × × 氏 氏, the "disappear". Moreover, there is no big name, only male names. Fortunately, the grandfather of the daughter, 80 Lao Weng's remembering one by one, how many years in Xianfeng Finally, the daughter's neaseo always makes it. When I see this dedicated Ma Ma's name, a family history is born!
When I passed this job to the United States, my daughter was very excited. I actually said that I had to restore it as a Chinese Chairman. "I have to use teachers and classmates in China!" Because she still explains what is Chinese, why Chinese traditional "remembering men do not remember women". All of this must draw on a large cardboard. I haven't slept for this daughter almost overnight.
The next day, the homework of the students was in the class, and they were shocked to see each other. The teacher went to my daughter, picking up this special job saying: "This is the most interesting!" And then started to set up the Chinese name of the Baba ... Daughter this music! " "History" said here, I would like to emphasize that all these homework do not need "back pract", there is no "standard answer". What level of grade is you got, fully see how you collect materials and have a unique view of what is the result --- You don't have to worry about "right" or "wrong".
Does the English (language) class have such creativity? I let my daughter send me a few English writing questions and the comments of the teacher.
Daughter replied: The English class of this semester is literature. Our teachers have opened up a field to study the American black literature. To read a lot of American black works, you have to write a papers. Our school is studying in school, there is an interest writing, with the following topics:
1. It is independent.
Comments: I hope that the time in your life can help you spend the difficult time.
2. Unresolved doubts - write a thing that happened in you or your people, ask a real thing that can't believe or unassay, can't be a dream.
Comments: Your "Unable Explanation" experience is really sensational and interesting! (Day, my daughter actually has a sensational experience ?!)
3. Letter papers. It is required to tell one thing in the form of a letter, which can be two people to communicate, or it is a letter from one person, but must be a set of letters, four or five.
Comments: Young love is a beautiful thing. (My daughter wrote first love? I really want to see.)
4. A letter to the principal. You can reflect your dissatisfaction or affirmation of the school, or ask some questions you have been asking. The principal reads every letter and then goes to the class and discuss you.
5. Normally, (2). It is required to reflect your personality with one thing, focus on psychological description, complete text with psychological description.
Comments: The tension before the game is that every athlete must experience. (The daughter must write the competition, in China, she is a three gold medal winner of the school.)
6. poetry. Write ten different forms of poems: five elements of poems, American five elements, repetition march poems, Haiku (a non-rhyme Japanese lyric poem), clutch versions (that is, the first letter of each row can be made into a word), letters Poetry (including all 26 letters), political poetry, shape poems, every section "is ... but really ...", "no one knows ..." is the poem. (China is poetry big country, when can students write poetry?)
Comments: You have made a very good job, Stephanie (English name of daughter). Your poem shows a lot of efforts and ideas you have in the past. Your English has excellent progress every day, I wish you luck in the second semester! Also, please remember that you feel like you feel at any time, I will be very willing to listen.
This is some interesting and challenging topic! And how teachers' comments will inspire their daughters!
Different American history classes who have nothing to do with the daughter, the daughter only asks me to write this poem that "no one knows" as the beginning, because the front poem has made her "brain all have split". As a result, "Poetry" and her daughter have not seen it with my friends, only played a little inspiration, "I saw you, I have a word!" My daughter said: "My English teacher special Special good, I have told him a lot of things. I have two long talks. I almost cried. In fact, I have already cry, but I didn't let tears flow. "My eyes also fever --- in China On the high three, the daughter has never been a wish and opportunity to talk to the teacher ...
Some people will say: "What are you doing? Give your daughter, don't this become more than a long time?" The problem may not be as simple as it. I think parents should be a child's "learning companion" to some extent, can discuss each other, can guide the child to read, tell him where to find relevant information, stimulate the child's interest. However, all of these "expectations" in domestic education, the child has never discussed any learning problems with me, because as long as the "standard answer" is enough to pay attention to the exam. I also took the initiative to read a few essays, those topics mediocre and lack of imagination, making me losing "participation" enthusiasm, escape.
The daughter went to the United States only for a short three months, and it changed great. Through email, I started to teach what is creative education, which is true than any book I have seen. "Ask for help" hasn't been there for a long time, but I am dad, I have started to receive such a "help" - this "study", it is really fascinated! End wooden
