While the school system in China is generally quite good, there is one problem that I have found prevalent
through all of my years of education. The problem is that the teacher to student ratio is too small. This situation was
of no benefit to anyone: the teachers, or the students. If there were more teachers in each school, class sizes would
be smaller, there would be a greater diversity of knowledge and information, and teachers would be less tired, and
would therefore give better classes.
Class sizes are overwhelmingly large in China. In many of the courses offered in elementary school and high
school, there are over forty students in a class. It is very difficult to learn in this type of situation. The teacher has no
time to spend with individual students who need extra help, and students are often embarrassed to ask questions in
front of so many other students. If class sizes could be shrunk, the learning curve in most courses would rise
dramatically.
With more teachers at every school, the collective mass of knowledge and information would rise. Everyone
in the world has his/her own very particular set of information. People are like snowflakes; each person is different
and has varied experiences from the next person. With more people at a school, there is a wider knowledge base to
draw from. This would obviously be an advantage to students, as schools could offer a wider range of courses in a
variety of fields of study.
Therefore, if I was given the opportunity to change one thing in the high school that I once attended, I would
like to try to recruit more qualified teachers and give them more decent pays. This would benefit everyone. It is an
unfortunate fact that most school districts cannot afford to make this happen.
