Hello Yiran，
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Like you said China and Canada are two different countries with different education models. Most elementary, middle and high school education in China is a combination of behaviorism and cognitivism. Most students in China are faced with the mindset that “only grades will determine your future”. They have to pass the merit test to get into a better school. The pressure on them to learn is high. The Canadian learning model may be more about developing students’ autonomy and cognition. Here, I can’t say for sure which country’s education is better, only that different education models are suitable for different countries, and that China’s population base is very large, and in this case, the students who can enter can only be screened by their grades.
I have also faced such a situation. I hope that China’s future education model will be more suitable for the young people of tomorrow.
