American homeschooling methods, American parents methods of educating their children

In 1983, the United States** warned parents in a report entitled "The Nation Is in Danger, Education Reform Is Imperative" that "you are the first and most influential teachers of your children" and that "you have a responsibility to educate your children actively."

In October 2021, the China Education Promotion Law was passed and came into force on January 1, 2022. From legislation to promulgation and implementation, it took just two months. It can be seen that the importance of family education at the national level is reached; It can be seen that the urgency of family education is urgent.

As the United States called for in 1983, the country is in danger! You have a responsibility to educate your children actively!

Although, we are nearly 40 years behind the United States, it is not too late to make amends.

Over the years of immigrant life in the United States, the Americans I have dealt with the most are those American parents. According to my years of observation and understanding, the most touching thing about American parents is that they generally take a tailor-made approach to their children based on their actual situation.

Two examples of American tutors

Example 1: The east is not bright, and the west is bright.

No matter who you are, as long as you talk about education, it is especially easy to get into the rules and regulations of preaching. For this reason, I will use a few real stories to illustrate this problem simply and directly.

Taylor and Carat are two adorable American girls. Sadly, both of them suffer from speech and visual impairments, respectively. Although the doctor's ** alleviated their respective symptoms, they were unable to return to the normal child's health level in any case.

Taylor's speech is inarticulate, and Carat is particularly difficult to read. Academically, no matter how much they catch up, they can't catch up with healthy people of the same age. Give up their education?

That's impossible. How can you make up for it? I think their parents must have believed in the philosophy that the East does not shine in the West.

As a result, Taylor was thrown into the pool at the age of four, and Carat was sent to the gymnasium at the age of six. After years of being picked up and dropped off by their respective parents, the two girls are now swimmers and gymnasts respectively. I remember someone saying that no matter who it is, at least one thing should be excellent.

Taylor and Kra were not as good as they could have been in terms of language and reading, but they were able to excel in sports. The American people love sports, and Taylor and Carat's achievements are impressive.

Example 2: Assess the situation and do what you can.

Brandy was born prematurely, thin and small, and her mother was a single mother. In single-parent families, the education of children is always a concern. Although the whole people in the United States love sports, if you want Brandi to make achievements in sports like Taylor and Carat, it is really difficult for this weak little girl.

When Brandy was five years old, her mother began to design her future, focusing on violin and stage performance. Every time, when a stage play is staged at the school where Brandy attends, there will always be a lively figure of Brandy bouncing on the stage. Perhaps it was the experience of performing on stage that added to Brandy's'Confident in her self-confidence, when she entered junior high school, she began to run for student council president and won the election.

Recently, Brandy represented American middle school students, bringing her violin with her for many years, and toured Europe again. Brandy's outstanding talent and leadership skills will surely add a bright addition to her college application in a few years' time.

Optimism encouragement

As can be seen from the above examples, American parents are not entirely focused on learning. Judging the situation, doing what they can, and fully tapping the potential of their children is their typical parenting experience. In addition, whether it is sports, academic training, American parents love to encourage their children more than our Chinese parents.

Goodjob, goodtry, youaregreat, words of encouragement that often come out of the mouths of American parents. This optimistic encouragement method of American parents for their children is worth learning from.

Overall, the U.S. approach to education and learning is based on freedom, independence, self-directed learning, understanding, and practicality.

1. A basic idea in American education is to teach students to continue to enhance their understanding of knowledge through understanding, thinking, and innovation, and then further develop new knowledge, which is good at inspiring students' creativity, and can fully exert the potential of outstanding talents, and is more suitable for the reality of the rapid development of science and technology in the 21st century;

2. American-style education does not rank in line, does not give students negative feedback, and encourages everyone to achieve individualized success and progress, which can balance the overall education, so that school education will not become a pure elite education, so that more students who will be called ordinary can also learn and use their potential;

3. Education in the United States is not perfect, completely free of challenges and defects, in such a system, it takes a lot of investment to achieve individualized development, in addition, in the process of building self-confidence and self-esteem, the examination and ranking are not so important, resulting in some poor students becoming fish that slip through the net.
