In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States,many Americans are turning to Japan,a country of high academic achievement and economic success,for possible answers.However,the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find.In most Japanese preschools,surprisingly little stress is put on academic instruction.In one investigation(调查),300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers,child development specialists,and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education.Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools.On the contrary,over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices.To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond,Japanese schools do not teach reading,writing,and mathematics,but rather skills such as persistence(毅力),concentration,and the ability to function as a member of a group.The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
