Why do foreign middle school students look so mature?

The reason why many people think foreign middle school students look more mature is mostly because of what they see on the screen. Then we have to doubt the authenticity of this question, after all, what we see on the screen is not everything. In other words, some foreign middle school students look more mature, but not all.

Compared with Chinese middle school students, foreign middle school students are relatively mature. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, the first of which is education.

China has a traditional exam-oriented education that focuses on cultivating students’ exam-oriented thinking and ability to cope with exams. Therefore, Chinese middle school students spend most of their time studying and taking exams. Like the United States, the United Kingdom, and some Western countries, they focus on cultivating students' open thinking and do not overemphasize test-taking abilities. Therefore, their middle school students spend most of their time in social practice, and some even leave school directly to pursue the world they long for. . Different education methods determine the status of students under education. Students with an exam-oriented mentality are naturally swimming in the ocean of knowledge and do not understand society yet, and they appear to be immature and inexperienced. Because students with an open mind have a certain amount of social accumulation and experience, they are naturally more mature.

Another one is the influence of family. Our country's traditional family thinking is that raising children is a matter of course. Therefore, the children will not be allowed to experience too much social reality during the upbringing period. This will inevitably lead to the child's lack of understanding of society. Many things will be taken for granted, and reasonable judgments will naturally appear immature without too much social influence. . Many families in Western countries encourage their children to experience life and create value in society. In this way, after they have enough social experience, they will naturally have some insights and opinions about society, and people will become mature and relate to them. The contrast among Chinese students is even more obvious.
