("五名中国老师来到英国汉普郡的一所普通中学，试验利用中国式的教学方法来教授英国学生 * * * 试验结果是这些中国老师似乎对英国学生的评价并不高。在学校教了四个星期的课后，这些中国老师说，英国慷慨的福利制度让学生缺乏雄心壮志以及纪律的约束。
这5名中国老师是参与英国广播公司BBC制作的一个纪录片，对比东西方教学方法以及结果的一部分")

Javier Espinosa, 'Britain's Generous Welfare System Behind Pupils' Lack of Ambition,' Say Chinese Teachers; British students are less motivated to study hard if they know they will get government handouts, the teachers said, Daily Telegraph, Aug 3, 2015 www.telegraph.co.uk/education/ed ... inese-teachers.html
My comment:
(a) They (these China's teachers) are silly. Ask people (foreigners and Americans) in US, and they will tell you education in US is excellent, but student performances are poor (in every measurement, even among whites ) because the good are drowned out in statistics -- the cream of the crop of US education lies in higher education, which is head and shoulder above the rest of the world. Maybe the same in UK (though its higher education is pre-eminent). Many things in this life are contrarian, so I accept it without quarrel.
