英国教育部为改良英国学校的数学教育规范是绞尽脑汁，当初搞了个替换名目请了60个说英语的数学教师来英国学校展现如何教数学。想到英国学校当教师的XDJMs这多是个好时机啊。
Chinese maths teachers are to come to England to give masterclasses in the subject as part of a fresh bid to boost standards.

Up to 60 English-speaking teachers from cities such as Shanghai will be taking part in a new exchange progra妹妹e which will also see English maths teachers working in schools in China, the Department for Education (DfE) said.
The move comes amid a continuing drive by government to overhaul maths in English schools, and follows a recent visit by Education Minister Elizabeth Truss to the country to examine how it teaches the subject.
Ministers have previously said that England can learn from Asian nations which have topped international league tables in key subjects.
Under the exchange progra妹妹e, the visiting teachers will be based in 30 new maths “hubs” - schools that will specialise and lead on maths teaching, from this autumn.
The DfE said these teachers will be showing their teaching methods to English maths teachers, such as how to help struggling pupils, dealing with homework and feedback as well as giving practical demonstrations and masterclasses for school staff.
At the same time, two English maths teachers from each of the new “hubs” will spend at least a month in Chinese schools to learn more about the nation’s teaching techniques.
The methods and practices that are shared through the progra妹妹e will then be passed on to other teachers and schools in England, the DfE said.
Ms Truss said: "As part of our long term economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race.
"Good maths qualifications have the greatest earnings potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment.
"High-quality maths teaching is an essential part of that and this collaborative, teacher-led progra妹妹e is a fantastic opportunity for us - there is so much evidence that teacher-to-teacher, school-to-school progra妹妹es are hugely effective.
“We have some brilliant maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai - and other Chinese cities - has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.”
Recent international tests put Shanghai, along with a number of other Asian nations, at the top for maths skills.
More than half a million 15-year-olds took part in the 20十二 Progra妹妹e for International Student Assessment (Pisa) study, with the findings published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in December.
Overall, the UK came 26th in maths with an average score of 494. This was broadly the same as the average for the subject, and on a par with nations such as the Czech Republic, France and Norway.
But it also left the UK lagging far behind leading areas including Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.
A new analysis of the data, published last month, found that the children of cleaners in Shanghai and Singapore outperform the sons and daughters of UK doctors and lawyers in global maths tests.
A separate survey by the business group CBI, published last year, concluded around three in 10 employers are dissatisfied with the standard of school and college leavers’ numeracy skills.
The DfE has said the government was prioritising maths because of the subject’s importance to young people competing for jobs, as well as its importance to the economy.
A number of reforms are already being introduced, such as banning calculators from tests for 十一-year-olds, requiring teenagers who do not get a grade C at GCSE in maths to continue studying the subject, new maths qualifications for post-16 students and bursaries to attract top maths graduates into teaching.
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: “One of the key findings from Pisa 20十二 was that the United Kingdom performs around the average in mathematics and reading, and above average in science. The UK’s performance is similar to that of Denmark, France, Iceland, New Zealand and Norway. It is ridiculous to suggest that teachers brought in from China will have any more knowledge or expertise than teachers from other countries or indeed our own.”

两个不同的教育零碎都各有千秋，首要的是要 去其糟粕 取其精髓。
不说英国能从中国的数学教师身上学到甚么，但我真心但愿这个流动能把些英国教育的精髓带回到国际。

真想改动就鉴戒中国的题海战术， 中国先生哪一个不是每天做题练出来的。 清楚就是不敢完全的变革这类轻松高兴的教育轨制，又要有‘作为‘给大家看，就玩这个一场秀出来

记忆也是一种办法。乘法表，你到60岁会忘吗？不会。 所以是胜利的。

头几天刚和儿子的校长谈起乘法口诀，在中国小学一年级已把九九乘法口诀背得倒背如流，在这有的先生要到六年级才会，学校还说正常，无语。
