What's the difference between children who immigrate to Canada and those who grew up in China?

Quality education has been publicized in China for many years, hoping to cultivate children's abilities in all aspects, but the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. Until today, the education we received in China is basically cramming, and doing problems and exams is almost all we study.

However, this is not the case in Canada. The previous news about whether to let students recite the multiplication table and mathematical formula of 1999 is also on the front page of CBC, so Canadian teachers will not let people recite it, whether it is kindergarten, primary school, junior high school or senior high school. How about education in Canada?

Take secondary schools in Ontario as an example. Each student must complete 30 credits and 40 hours of voluntary work, and pass the reading and writing test of 10 grade English before graduating from high school. Among the 30 credits, including 18 compulsory course and 12 elective course, students can choose courses according to their future career needs and hobbies. These courses are varied. Besides what we generally know, there are some courses to improve students' practical ability, such as sewing and cooking, and some courses even require students to build houses.

Students' performance in class is very important, because 70% of the annual grade calculation is the performance of the whole semester, including size tests, big homework, project research and so on. As for the big exam that is very important in China, it only accounts for 30% of the total score.

There is no college entrance examination

When it comes to the final exam, which accounts for only 30%, we have to mention that there is no college entrance examination in Canada. Yes, you are right, there is no college entrance examination in Canada!

If Canadian students want to apply for a university, they generally need three things: an application form, a middle school report card and an application fee. On the application form, the basic situation of the students and the major they want to study will be listed. Send these three materials to the university you want to go to, and you can wait for the notice from the school. The process is simple.

The general requirement of Canadian universities for students who want to enroll is that they have studied at least six preparatory courses of universities or colleges, while some majors have special requirements for the courses they have studied. Meeting these two conditions only meets the "legal" conditions for applying for a university. What kind of school you can apply for depends on the students' learning ability. Because of the college entrance examination, universities can only examine students' learning ability through their academic achievements in middle schools, and the results of college preparatory courses are the main basis. First-class universities in Canada, such as the University of Toronto, may require students to have an average score of 65,438+0/3 in their classes, and some good majors may require an average score of over 90.

cultural diversity

Canada is an immigrant country with a pluralistic society. Children may feel very fresh when they just go to Canada, because unlike in China, their classmates are all from China, even locals. In schools in Canada, children can meet white-skinned classmates, make dark-skinned friends, and see children with the same skin color. They can ask which country in Asia they are from.

Living in a multicultural environment has many advantages. First of all, people with different cultural backgrounds can increase their understanding of the world and become an international person at an early date. Secondly, we can use this multicultural atmosphere to learn different languages, and learning languages is to open the door to a new world. Most importantly, children can learn equality, respect and tolerance by living in diversity. Everyone is different, but everyone is the same person, regardless of rank. We should respect this difference and not influence others' personal choices.

The advantage of this ideological progress is that personal choice will not be accused of the news that the miner's brother has been paying the bill, which has attracted much attention these days. Miners who are despised by others in China are widely praised in Canada. If children want to choose this profession to be blue-collar, there will definitely be many people in China to stop it, but in Canada, friends will not think there is any problem, and even think it is good to earn so much money. The same is true of other personal choices, such as marriage and partner. In Canada, society has a collective consciousness of respecting and accommodating everyone's personal choices.

Zero tolerance for violence against children

Children are fragile, but in a civilized society, children will be hurt less. To say the least, even if children are hurt, there are laws to punish such people.

In China, there may be the idea of "don't knock tools". Parents "educate" their children, and others will not mind their own business. The same is true of domestic schools. If the teacher does something to the students and the classmates do something to the classmates, the victims will often submit to humiliation, because even if something is said, it may not be solved. But in Canada, it's different. If the child is subjected to any violence, you can take the following two ways: 1. Call the police. The emergency number in Canada is 9 1 1. Children can call directly, first tell their names and places, and then tell what happened. If the situation is urgent, the information can be simpler. In this case, the police can directly break into houses to stop the violence.

2. find CAS. CAS is a child protection agency in Canada. They can take away children who have been abused by violence, cancel the custody of unqualified parents to their children, and completely isolate the bad influence of parents and others on their children.

Children's future is more secure.

Children look forward to growing up, but they are also worried about growing up and worrying that their future life is not guaranteed. What can eliminate these concerns is a sound social security system and various social benefits, which are available in Canada.

1. As a student, Canada will give a lot of support. For example, if the income after graduation is not high, you can avoid student loans; For example, students focus on their studies, and they can enjoy tax refund if they don't work and have no income during school. For example, various discounts only for students.

2. Employment insurance is also used carelessly after entering the society. If a Canadian resident has been working continuously for half a year and cannot continue to work because of unemployment, illness, maternity or adoption, he can get this temporary income through the national employment insurance plan. According to the current policy, if you work 9 10 hours continuously in the past year, you can get this money if you are unemployed, which is generally 56% of your original monthly salary, and you can get it for ten consecutive months.

There is also a paid vacation opportunity related to the happiness of life, which is also very exciting after work. The Canadian government stipulates that full-time employees can get two weeks (ten working days) paid vacation every year after working for one year; After working continuously for five years, you can get three weeks paid vacation every year; Holidays cannot be replaced by wages.
