GETTING THE BEST OUT OF OUR CHILDREN There is a strange paradox to the success of the Asian education model. On the one hand, classsizes are huge by western standards with on average between 30 and 40 students per class incountries like Japan and Korea. On the other hand, school children in developed Asianeconomies rank among the highest in the world for academic achievement in the areas of scienceand mathematics, especially on standardised tests. Meanwhile, British secondary school studentsfail to shine in conditions most educational researchers would say are far more likely to helpthem succeed. Why do Asian students seem to perform so well then? Is it their legendary discipline? Certainly,classroom management seems to be a whole lot easier in places like Korea, and perhaps lessonsare more effective as a direct consequence. After all, we are only too aware of the decline indiscipline standards in our own schools; belligerent and disrespectful students appear to be thenorm these days. Teachers in Britain seem powerless to control what happens any more. Surelythis situation cannot create a very effective learning environment, so perhaps the number ofstudents is far less relevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves. But there are other factors to consider, too. Korean students spend a lot more time with theirteachers. It seems logical to suggest, therefore, that they might form stronger bonds and greatertrust, and that Korean teachers, in understanding their pupils better, might be able to offer them amore effective learning programme. Of course, trust and understanding leads to greater respectas well, so Korean students are probably less likely to ignore their teachers’ advice. Then there is the home environment. The traditional family unit still remains relatively intact inKorea. Few children come from broken homes, so there is a sense of security, safety and trustboth at home and at school. In Britain meanwhile, one in every two marriages fails and divorcerates are sky-high. Perhaps children struggle to cope with unstable family conditions and theironly way to express their frustration is by misbehaving at school. Maybe all this delinquentbehaviour we are complaining about is just a cry for help and a plea for attention. But while the Japanese, Korean and Asian models generally do seem to produce excellentresults, the statistics don’t tell the truth. Asian sludents tend to put their education before literallyeverything else. They do very few extracurricular activities and devote far more time to theirstudies than their British peers. And this begs the question: is all that extra effort justified for afew extra percentage points in some meaningless international student performance survey? SoAsian students are on average 3-5% better at maths than Britons – big deal! What is their qualilyof life like? Remember, school days are supposed to be the best, are they not? There has been a lot of attention and praise given to these Asian models and their impressivestatistics of late. And without question, some of this praise is justified, but it seems to be a caseof two extremes in operation here. At one end, there is the discipline and unbelievably hard workethic of the Asian students success in education before all else. At the other end, Brilish studentsat times appear careless and extremely undisciplined by comparison, but at least they DO havethe free time to enjoy their youth and explore their interests. Is either system better outright? Oris it perhaps about time we stopped comparing and started trying to combine the best bits of both,so that we can finally offer our students a balanced, worthwhile education? We are not justdealing with statistics; never forget that every statistic is a little human being somewhere whodesperately needs our help and guidance - who deserves it.Question 22 : What does the writer mean when he says there is a paradox in the Asian educationmodel? A. There are too many students in each class.B . Larger classes are expected to lead to poorer results but they do not.C. Asian students outperform their peers in other countries.D. Class sizes in Asia are much smaller in other parts of the world. Question 23 : British secondary school students........A. do better on standardised tests B. have larger class sizesC . fail at school more than they succeed D. enjoy better classroom conditions Question 24 : What does the writer suggest might make lessons in Korean schools moresuccessful than in Britain?A. stricter classroom discipline B. better school Boards of ManagementC . more effective lesson planning D. better teachersQuestion 25 : What can be inferred from the utterance perhaps the number of students is far lessrelevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves? A . Class size does not affect student performance.B. Class size is important to maintaining control.C. How students behave might be more important than class size. D. How teachers conduct classes affects student performance.Question 26 : The traditional family unit.......A. is unstable in Korea due to conditions in the home B. is bad for children that come frombroken homesC. is disappearing in Korea due to high divorce rates D . is more common in Korea than inBritainQuestion 27 : Look at the following sentence.You see, behind those great maths and science scores, there is a quite remarkable work ethic.
