...from an email to me from one of my former students, here in Taian....
Chinese administration has a lot to answer for.

Not just the administration - everybody. Every country has the education its people deserve. China has stupid adults who put their own kids through a stultifying school life that they hated when they were students.
Incidentally, China is leader in suicides in general, and juvenile suicides in particular.

Exams induce insanity in this country. Thank god I don't have to give out grades (private school)! There are articles everywhere criticising the exam system, but no one can seem to suggest an slternative. Tests are supposed to show the students and teachers how well they have mastered the material- instead it sets out the pecking order.
The result? The students are obsessed with Perfection (avoiding mistakes) rather than Excellence (learning). Cram, then forget everything the next day.
Maybe that school will have to change its policy now. Sick that it takes dead/maimed child to force folks to admit there's a problem.
Sick that
