Chinese students are 2 years ahead of british students by grade 10, not sure how it compares to american schools.

Much much much harder especially the math part.

Yeah man why not read the article, I doubt you'd want that life.

"Gaokao has also been linked to China's rising suicide rate because of mounted pressure and poor test results."

'“If you haven’t died from hard work, just work harder." At Hengshui, students study from 5:30 a.m. to 9:50 p.m., cannot have cell phones and are allowed just one day of vacation every month. Cameras are placed in each classroom to monitor students for laziness. "

“I usually spent three to five minutes eating dinner,” a former student of Hengshui told China Daily."

"A student takes a quick study break. Some schools have been criticized for producing "robots" who study 15 hours per day for gaokao."

Substantially harder.

My gf is chinese and went through the school system there. I was cleaning out my room at my house and showed her some AP Calc notes/exams I had a senior in high school, and she told me they were doing that stuff in like 7th-8th grade.

Feels bad man.

[JazB]

This is why china will take over the world

[TriggerWarning]

Life is not a rehearsal, because you won’t have the chance to live it all over again,” and “If you haven’t died from hard work, just work harder." At Hengshui, students study from 5:30 a.m. to 9:50 p.m., cannot have cell phones and are allowed just one day of vacation every month. Cameras are placed in each classroom to monitor students for laziness. These types of tactics are increasingly common at what many are calling gaokao-sweatshops

Do the people that score to low get taken out back and shot?

[theMABBRI]

We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, a secretion of sensory, experience, and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody.

Their system produces obedient people with lots of rote knowledge. Not necessarily creative brilliant minds.

its called discipline...sonething this country needs

[rustlinjimmiez]

This is extremely inspiring. Any of these kids, given the opportunities we have, would succeed a lot more than my lazy ass. Time to step it up.

I think that any Indian kid that graduated from an IIT or IIM, and any Chinese kid that graduated from any of the top Chinese unis (JiaoTong, Tsinghua, Fudan etc) are the smartest kids in the world, at least in terms of raw intelligence, just because of the sheer amount of competition they have to battle through

inb4 stereotypical comments like "oh but they have no social skills! they have small penors!!"

[LordBroski]

China doesn't fuk around with education. If you showed them a typical american high school class where nobody gives a fuk and half are hung over or pregnant, their heads would implode.

[SUCCESSorDEATH]

and yet a simple ride at a theme park stating 'you must be this tall to ride' would have them all failing

[MyMachete]

DAMN. That is so excessive. Do they even enjoy life tho?

[Reamo]

Such competition

RIP in peace anyone who doesn't get 110%.

Insane stuff.

[VTheKing]

Look at them crafty test takers:



A hidden camera inside a pen (second from the left) and a receiver disguised as an eraser confiscated by police.



Glasses containing a hidden camera and a coin with a tiny receiver.



A more complex cheating contraption in Chengdu, Sichuan provence

[Snine]

I was a fool to ever believe I could raise up the Starcraft 2 ranks against these people.... A fuking fool.

[PointBreak85]

Germany under hitler instilled similar programs....and look what they accomplished.

[rustlinjimmiez]

Their system produces obedient people with lots of rote knowledge. Not necessarily creative brilliant minds.

Their system produces hardworking, conscientious people. I'm not sure why every time Asian education is brought up, someone dismisses it as "meh but we're more creative! "

Are you, really, though? Is the average American kid really that creative? Or did he just spend highschool and college smoking weed and drinking?

I really dislike that argument because it trivializes that tremendous amount of discipline and hard work that these kids go through.

You're a fool if you equate a strict education system with the rise of a charismatic but ruthless dictator.
