【正文】 the differences between people. The teachers think it very important to make each student different from others. Educational systems in these countries don’t ask students to memorize dull information. Instead, students are asked to work by themselves and find answers themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas even at an early age.But in countries such as China and Japan, the two peoples have similar history and culture. Perhaps because of this, people think highly of group goals rather than individualism. Students in China and Japan often work together and help each other in the classroom, The teachers teach and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook. They do the same homework and give the same answers.There are advantages and disadvantages of both educational systems. For example, one advantage of that in Japan is that students there learn more maths and science than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than Americans. There is , however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of what they have learned. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them be more creative. But there is also a disadvantage.
