The concepts of education in the West are very different. The American writer "Traveling Sand Boat" wrote in a post on Dcard's "American Education in Elevator" that during his long days in Chicago, he often experienced many different life experiences and cultural impacts. Among them, during an experience of taking an elevator, the interaction between a white mother and a son gave him an unexpected understanding.
Americans are a nation that enjoys interacting with strangers. Even if you wait in the elevator in a small and large building, you may have an unexpected dialogue or an interesting cultural observation. The original PO shared that one day, I met a white mother and son in the elevator. Next to my mother was a little boy who looked about 3 or 4 years old. The original PO snatched him. At this moment, the mother asked, "Do you want to say hello?" hi?)”
I saw the little boy sagging his eyes, grab his mother's hand, and swollen his head shyly. The mother gently touched his blonde hair and said, "It's okay (That’s OK.).". The original PO recalled that more Eastern parents would usually say to their children, "Come and say hello to their uncle." Or "Don't they say hello to their uncle?" The two parents love their children the same way and also do the same for the children's good, but there is such a clever difference in education methods, "One is an order or question, the other is inquiry and encouragement; the other is a shame and correction, and the other is acknowledgement and respect." In just 20 seconds and two sentences, he saw the difference in the Western educational concepts.
As soon as the post was posted, netizens also left messages to express their praise, "Thank you for sharing, I like it very much", "Foreigners' nurturing attitude is really worth learning in this regard", "My father has been to me since childhood... I will also say that you should smile, why do you think it is so smelly", "I am too If you don’t like Chinese education, you must say hello to whom, otherwise you will be disgraceful," "The thing I have been talking about since childhood is that others come to my house or I go to someone else because adults will say they don’t call anyone? When I meet for the first time or see you for a long time, I don’t know how to call you. If you call too little, it means you don’t call me."
