主题：【文摘】北美独立战争: 美国人编出来的神话 -- 李根

experience.

I guess maybe it is because that I grew up in Shanghai, while you might not grow up in big cities.

Chinese might be short in teaching resources, but I do believe Chinese are more short in effective teaching methodologies. In China, language learning was made into very boring subject and what is taught in class is mostly useless stuff when you are out of China. while outside China, you will see that it could be really fun!

这和发达国家的孩子可以全世界旅游--not true. Europeans, yes, easy, because it is so easy to cross border. Small nations there. But still not easy to travel outside the European continent. not cheap.

In America, no. Most Americans do not have passports! I teach at a top-50 American private school. My students told me that their first European trip was usually a graduation gift from their parents after they finish their college education.

People who travel extensively are actually Canadians and Australians.

而且的而且interest and perseverence可能能使我们学好英语或什么别的语言，只要给我们时间，因为那只是技术，给猴子同样多的训练它没准能做的更好。但我们可能永远无法成为爱因斯坦或者级别低的多的多的谋一个领域内的大师或什么家，即使我们可能同样天才。

--you will be amazed by the power of interest. I think Chinese education's largest failure is that it pushes knowledge down the throat of kids, making kids hate schooling and hate learning. Education in China is memorization of knowledge.

The word "e-duc-ation" come from Latin. e=out, duc=lead,

Education means lead out the human potential to explore the world, digest knowledge and THINK FORWARD CRITICALLY.

Memorization is the least important part of the education. Knowledge is not equivalent to education.

It was in Europe and America that I found my learning interest. When you are interested in one subject, learning is no longer boring work, it is fun! it is a daily necessity and obsession!

At least in big Chinese cities, resources are not the reason, the key is the lack of interest due to the traditional ways of teaching.
