Exploring the Cultural Differences and Social Reasons Between People's Imagination and Reality of American Schools

Abstract

Education is a core issue for countries and regions. As one of the most representative educational powerhouses in the world, the United States has received much attention for its education system. This article explores the gap between the imagination and reality of American schools and analyzes the cultural factors and social reasons behind this gap. The authors restore some misconceptions about American schools through their own educational experiences. Finally, the authors hope that the research in this paper will promote cross-cultural communication and educational reform, and better understand the real face of American schools.
