Question

Recently, a three-part BBC documentary Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School has become a hot topic. The TV documentary followed five Chinese teachers who spent a month working with 50 teenagers, aged from 13 to 14 at Bohunt School in the southern English county of Hampshire. The Chinese teacher used Chinese ways to teach the students instead of British ways.

The first part, broadcast on August 4th, showed the students performing morning exercises, taking part in a long-distance running race and learning how to do eye exercises during breaks.

It was tough on the teachers, because they had to spend a great deal of energy and time keeping the noisy students quiet, and the leading teacher complained that the classroom was always “chaotic(混乱的)”. At the same time, many students complained that the teachers were too strict, the lessons were boring and they found it difficult to get used to the new ways.

The TV documentary causes a debate(争论). Some people say that Chinese teachers are too strict and fail to engage students’ interest. In their opinion, Chinese teachers prefer spoon-feeding education that will help students pass exams, but it will be useless in the real world. However, supporters say that the Chinese education system can produce hard-working and polite students.
