[quote=GAFFER,417639]Educational systems vary from country to country and opinions change like the wind direction. What educationalists and parents fail to understand is that some children are academically gifted and some are not. Some might excell in literature, some in science, some in art, some in sport, some in vocational subjects, but it is rare to find one who excells in all fields. Regardless of what threats or inducements are made, some kids do not have the ability to learn enough to reach the high grades required. Chinese education is expensive and very competitive. Every parent wants their child to obtain good grades to get a place in a good university. Unfortunately not all can, and some would be far better trained in practical subjects. The world will always need plumbers, electricians, hairdressers etc. On the other hand some western cultures are perhaps too lax and remove the competitiveness. There are no failures, everyone wins but in varying degrees. This does not prepare a child for a competitive world. There has to be a sensible compromise between the two extremes.
