[复制链接]

  Education is all enormous and expensive part of American life.Its size is matched by its variety.

  Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyonenot just for a privileged elite.Schools are expected to meet the needs of every childregardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself.This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects.It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typingsewingradio repair, computer programming or driver trainingalong with traditional academic subjects such as mathematicshistory,and languages.Students choose their curricula depending on their interestsfuture goalsand level of ability.The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilitiesand to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.

  Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity andAmericanizing the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins.Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.

  The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informalbut also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts.InsteadAmericans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much timelearning how to use resource materialslibrariesstatistics and computers.Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives.Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.
