In different places, they might have difference school system or difference terms to define the grade or level of the class, but they still contain in the same subject as most of the school requirement.

However, I believe the spiritual of the teachers and school that they will give a best for the students. Thai and American school have similar education method even though it is in a different place.

The break time is about one hours in Thailand. In Thailand, the whole school have only one lunch time which is at 12:00, but teachers will let‘s students 15 minutes earlier to get their food. Thai governments don’t provide food for the student so all students have to buy their own food and drink in the cafeteria. When students get their food. They sit together with their friends in a group, enjoy they food. After finish their lunch, it is free time for students spend with their friends. During this free time, some students spend their time in the library reading. Some form a soccer ball team as Thai flavor sport, form a music band which school provide all the music instruments for students whose are interesting, or work their garden as one of the requirement subject for all the middle school class. Some student who flavor by some teacher will be asking to help sell school supplies to students who need or asking to help teachers corrects classmates’ homework. Before going back to class, all students sit in a squatting position face the wall with their cups fill in with water and tooth brush with toothpaste on.

In Untiled State, switch classroom when class lesson is over. This is normal to students here, but Thai students are different. Thai students will be in the same classroom since firth grade until finish high school. The class might be change to other building or other room, but this only happen one in two or three year only. So, all students will be sitting in the room waiting for teachers to get in, rather than move out like American school. Even during gym class, the teachers have to come to the class to get the students to the yard and after class end they need to lead all the student back. This is also one way for Thai students to have a strong friendship after they graduate. However, American school is more enjoyable because students get into different room and meet different people. After one lesson over, students are in rush to other room. They go to their teacher rather than their teacher come to
Growing up in the American education system, I always took my education for granted. My mother would always say, “You know how much people would want to be in your place and go to school?” In Chinese culture, education is the only way to achieve upward social mobility and leave the poor social economic class; whether you are rich or poor, you must have education and go to school. Education is not equal for everyone so how can one play the game when it is set up against you. Education is based on the resources that are offered in the area, thus if you live in a poor area, you get fewer resources. When the One Child policy was passed, it helped because all the family’s resources are focused on one child but the child is the only one to take care
The Asian American history is the history of the ethnic and racial groups in the United States who are of Asian descent. Spickard (2007) shows that the "'Asian American' was an idea created in the 1960s to bring together the Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino Americans for a strategic and political purposes.
Keep in mind that this is a very general overview. There are many different cultures within Asia and they are all different. Asian students are very culturally diverse, and an effort should be made to learn about their individual characteristics and cultural background.
...nts to feel more comfortable discussing academics and make friends in a way more geared to school than American children. In short, although the U.S. education system is superior to most, there are many things that if taken from the Japanese and incorporated into our system, would help our students to become more enthusiastic about school; thus making the education experience more positive and more productive.
In Japanese schools, from elementary schools to universities, teachers direct what students should do or how they should be. Students follow the school rules and the directions of teachers. In American schools, on the other hand, students have to be more independent than Japanese students in many ways. Because of differences between Japanese and American schools, Japanese students who begin to study in an American school are shocked, and they take a pretty long time to adjust themselves to the way of American schools. Differences between schools in the two countries are seen in classrooms and during classes: the style of lectures, the relationship between student and teachers, and the style of examinations.
Contrary to popular belief, corporal punishment is still an accepted form of punishment in some countries. In these countries, many see this kind of punishment for children as normal, natural and harmless. Yet, human rights activists believe that it is damaging and must be stopped.

In my point of view, America is the world’s greatest country which gives the best opportunity to people to build their future. Many people come to America from all over the world because there is a better opportunity than in their own country. Many wealthy people from other countries spend so much money to send their child to the US for a better education. Therefore, America has been given a great chance to help international students to get their education.
Eighty-six percent of public schools in the United States operate on a traditional school calendar, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Although you can receive the same education at a year round school that you can at a traditional school, traditional schools are better. They are better because traditional schools educate all students, have access to government funds, and have qualified teachers.
India has an educational ideology which believes that the more discipline and punishments the students go through, the more successful they will be in achieving their educational endeavors. In India, many schools take pride in their students and
Rybak: In a Chinese school the day is much longer than an American school day. This means that Chinese students spend a lot more time in school which brings us to the conclusion that Chinese are more advantaged than the American students in long run. This prepares them for college or even the young adult to be bio-lingual. Most American students usually attend school for seven hours each weekday and may forget what they have learned because it is instilled into the young adults’ heads like the Chinese do with their students.
Through memories, experiences and video documentation (by my parents), I could say without hesitation that, mostly in Asian regions, dictatorial and traditional approach to educations were, and still is, the norms. To educators in my birth-country of
...iplining a child are similar among all of the different ethnicities and cultures. It is most likely because of the socially accepted norm of how to discipline a child. Americans socially accept spanking, punishment, or grounding as methods of discipline. So in turn, these are the methods inhabitants of America choose to discipline their child. Disciplining can be considered as child abuse, but only if the discipline involves beating and verbally abusing the child. Although the methods of disciplining the child are similar, the disciplinarian of the household may differ. The parent who takes on the role of the disciplinarian could change the way they discipline their child. The gender of the parent also could affect how the child is disciplined.
In United States, educational system is planned based on levels such as elementary school is from first grade to sixth grades, middle school is from seventh grades to eighth grades, and high school is from ninth grades to twelfth grades and four years in university and grades schools are based on a single shift and mostly free. While in Ethiopia school system is divided to primary school which is class one to class six, junior secondary school is junior secondary school (JSS) one to three, and senior secondary school (SSS) one to four and the school operates on the two shift bases and is not free because of outnumber of students in the school system. In the United States, teaching and learning process utilizes interactive instruction methods such as discussions, teamwork activities, and community service projects to elicit imaginative thinking, problem solving and decision making toward a goal of meaningful insight which is a key factor to help student succeed while the teaching and learning process in Ethiopia school system is to complete the syllabus since there is no chance for interactive process and at the end you found out that student can be college graduates but find it difficult to read a middle school level text book. With this plan of the school curriculum in the American educational system, the best quality training will brining students ' to ultimate success in life, and the curriculum places great importance on this principle. As for student progress, they are given increasing autonomy in the direction of their work, but also encourage how to work cooperatively with others. Mostly, Students are allowed to participate in their own work evaluation. Students help teachers set up forum to make problems solving easier. Students solve problems without assistance from the teacher. Generally, Student takes full
Secondly, corporal punishment in schools should not be permitted is because it can lead to harmful effects in a student’s health. Because according to Science Daily “a child in a school that uses corporal punishment has performed worst in tasks involving executive functioning-- such as, for example: planning, abstract thinking, and delaying gratification.” In addition, according to Social Development, “harshly punitive environm...
When we look at many school the one big difference would be in religion when we look at private and public many of the private high schools are catholic. My whole life I went to public school well till middle school then when entering my high school my mom decided to move to a private school in my hometown.

When I first entered we were force to wear collared shirts not tennis and had to have are hair a natural color is was maybe a little too much for me.
