show these values Students not often memorize information Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves, and they express their ideas in class discussion At an early age, student learn how to form their own ideas and opinions B In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia

teaching methods are very formal The teacher lectures, and the students listen There is not much discussion Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized C The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think themselves They learn to take the initiative – to make a dicision and take action without someone telling them what to The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas There is, however, a drawback, a disadvantage When students graduate from high school, they haven’t studied as many basic
