That's an interesting take, since the Russian school's teaching methods originate in Soviet public schools.
If that's the difference, why were the goals so different there, and how do we make US public school goals more like the Soviet ones?
- iammisc 5y agoThe soviets were nationalists who believed the utility of the citizenry was in their contribution to their country. You reinstill love of country, which really means love of society and others, which is another word for philanthropy, and you will quickly get this. In America, instead of education and work being for the greater purpose of your nation and people, education is for the individual. As usual, most people find more motivation when helping others than themselves, but the focus on ourselves in American education means it's easy to slack.
