其他几名在汉普郡利普胡克博航特中学授课的中国老师发现,他们组的50个孩子,13、14岁不等,容易扰乱纪律且无法集中精力.来自南京外国语学校的李爱云（音译）说："当我分发作业纸时,我希望大家都能专心致志做作业.但当我走进教室时,有的聊天,有的吃零食,有的化妆.我必须克制自己,否则我会疯的.大概有一半的学生在听课,至于剩下一半,谁知道他们在干嘛？"
Science teacher Yang Jun, who taught in Xi'an, central China, before moving to Britain, said: 'In China we don't need classroom management skills because everyone is disciplined by nature, by families, by society. Whereas here it is the most challenging part of teaching.' She also questioned the use of different teaching programmes for different pupils. 'You have different syllabuses to suit different students' ability,' she said. 'We don't. We have one syllabus, one standard; you survive or you die. It's up to you.''
来英国之前曾在中国中部城市西安任科学老师的杨军（音译）说："在中国,我们不需要教室纪律管理技巧,因为每个人受天性、家庭、社会影响都很有纪律性.然而在这里,这却是教学中最具挑战性的一部分."她也质疑"因材施教"是否有效,她说,"你们对不同能力的学生有不同的教学大纲.我们没有.我们只有一个教学大纲,一种标准.要么适应,要么被淘汰,这取决于自己."
The Chinese methods are to be screened in the BBC Two documentary, Are Our Kids Tough Enough? Chinese School. A trailer for the programme shows a teacher shouting 'listen to me', 'just use your brain' and 'no talking, no questions' at bewildered looking British children.
中国的教学方法即将在BBC2台播出,名为《我们的孩子真的很难管吗？中国学校》纪录片里.在节目预告中,一个老师对着困惑不解的英国学生喊道："听我说"、"动动脑子"、"别说话,别提问".
But the Chinese methods did not appear to impress the Bohunt head teacher, Neil Strowger. He described the teaching techniques as 'mind-numbingly boring' and said usual standards of discipline at his school were not as loose as the Chinese teachers described. Mr Strowger added: 'I don't believe we are somehow causing our children to fail by having a welfare state.'
不过,博航特中学的校长史尼尔•史端乔似乎对中国式教育方法并不感冒.他认为这种教学方法"让人思想麻木且枯燥无聊",他说,他们学校平时的纪律标准并不像中国老师所描述的那般松散.他还说："我不相信我们国家的福利制度在某种程度上导致我们学生失败."
