I’m reading a book on the Chinese education system because my husband really wants me to read it and discuss it with him. The book is very enlightening. Here is one quote:
Gregory Yao’s daughter was only five years old, but she was already taking eight classes a week, including math cram classes and the “early MBA,” which trained babies as young as four months in “six core areas,” including leadership and global vision, according to one provider.
I am irreducibly Western so I find this kind of thing to be hilarious.
In America we are raising our children for a different world. And we are absolutely right.
That’s why South Koreans and Chinese populations are dwindling the fastest. They’ve created a terrible system for themselves that is fundamentally anti-humam.
I really hope we don’t try to copy it.
