It's true that some parents of Chinese and other Asian countries forced their kids to the extreme. But look at we American, the parents are too lenient that many kids grows up not fitting into the society and no respect to their own parents too.

Strongly disagree. You're job is not to fit into society as a child but to find a way to make society accept you or n.t caring what society thinks. This is the reason Western philosopnhy is considered a bit better than eastern philosophers because western philosophy is about breaking boundaries while eastern philosophy is about conforming to societal norms and being the best that you can be inside of them, even if you dislike said society,

@t w I never stated that society should care what you think. My point is that school should teach you to think for yourself and that is also what you’re parents should do. There is no need to respect many things about society if you disagree with those many things.

Most students don’t want to learn. So force them. Don’t be as authoritarian as China but be a little stricter. And work hard. Working hard was what put America on top but they lost that and China gained it.

I agree the Chinese system is competitive which can be bad because it’s Grade vs grade and not iq vs grade

The problem with American education is separation and teacher preparation.

Americans seem to emphasize fun above all else. If it's not enjoyable, why bother? Of course it must be realized that many things are more enjoyable after they've grown on you, like peas and brussel sprouts for example.

And higher education needs to be affordable

说实话，现在的中国人只是图享福，不愿吃苦。不少做父母的常常以为年纪大了，应该享福；如果享不到福，便叹命苦，便悲福薄。有许多青年人也有这种看法，看见人家享福，羡慕得很，勉强他们暂吃辛苦。 Honestly speaking, the Chinese people now nowadays just want enjoyment, and don't want "eat bitter". It is long-held belief by many parents that the older you are, the more you should enjoy instead. If can't obtain happiness, then sigh bitterly and tighten their belts. Many younger Chinese also adopt this viewpoint, being envious of other people's enjoyment, while lamenting the hard work needed to achieve it.

The eating bitter part was true for much of China until 10 years ago.

TALENT OR HARDWORK

As far as force feeding the kids.. if they really feel like they need to do something like this, then it's clear they don't really feel their kids have respect for the adults. All forcing does to children is inflict fear, where is the respect in that? Americans letting the children choose isn't exactly right either, but at least they're not counting on fear to do the diciplining. The teacher asking "does it work?" Is very confident their methods do indeed work, but there is a reason they have the highest suicide rates in the world..

Completely agree. That sounds like dictation to me

The education system is all wrong if it is to prepare people for work. Apprenticeship is specific education geared towards work. (Even medicine, law placements and internships are apprenticeships.) The whole education system lost its way when apprenticeships were no longer encouraged.

@@LayJD_ Education is full of snobbery and much of it is irrelevant to the developing work market. Why for instance is programming not taught at school when so many jobs call for it? If you have to sell yourself all the time why is that not taught in the most relevant forms? Why do we learn bits and pieces of history, geography, ancient English and inefficient maths? Some retired politicians say education, especially at the higher levels is to keep people away from the unemployment figures, rather than for real social mobility and doesn't reflect on what the employers want in most cases.

@@LayJD_ Budgeting is a valuable start. Some sales and marketing wouldn't go amiss either in the form of elevator pitches, interview training, presentations, cold calling, knocking on doors, longer pitches, rebuttals, closing (also getting the second sale), networking and asking for referrals etc. It is hard to make people tough but a series of relevant challenges with increasing difficulty is important. Forcing people to solve problems for real is important to do at an early age. Putting people through a little pain is great, seeing as though life is not always easy. Instead we have people who come out of University and school with so much theory in their heads they miss everything that is empirical. They expect a good job so they can't fully focus on the "bad job" they currently have. What they don't know is the skills developed and improved on in the bad jobs, problems they solve, connections they make, capital they generate, the willingness to go for more opportunities and developing the willpower to withstand more pressure leads to better work ahead. At worst when those theories and romantic notions in their heads, from all that academia, gets tested and blasted apart in the real world they sink into a depression or live in constant denial. (It would be so much better to test and blow up those theories early so at least all that time could be saved and the student prepared for such horrible experiences at a fairly young age. Then there is at least time and the right attitude to modify the approach to make it work.)

What's new? In many private school of Western countries, students also have to do much homework. Practice, practice, practice.

The problem starts from the concept of political correctness which is a lot of nonsense. Nonsense because one man's food is another mans poison or one mans treasure is another mans trash. The difference is in inoculating good culture, for instance like the difference between a feral dog and a well trained domesticated dog. Humans are not animals yet if the good culture is not injected in to a person then the person will pickup the most easy habits namely laziness and being obnoxious when prodded. Love and care with a firm hand will do wonders in a child
