I disagree. I think it should be presented neutrally and let people decide for themselves. Present it like this:
On paper, its a GREAT idea. But in practice, it has a near zero percent success rate with a GIGANTIC body count as a direct of the power given to the head of the government. It is so susceptible to corruption that it is nearly unethical to implement.
The problem we see today is retards like BErnie Sanders ignoring the body count and saying things like
- "Its a FAIR system"
-it's "Not right that we dont have universal healthcare"
-Pre 2016: "Millionaires and billionaires shouldnt exist" but when he became a millionaire..."Billionairs shoulnt exist"
-_______ is a human right. But people like him assign that title to anything that is convenient“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.” - The Nameless City by HP Lovecraft

Students will never care about educational outcomes when their parents don't even care about the outcomes. Doesn't matter how good the teacher is. Student spends one hour with the teacher and lives in the other environment.
Chinese parents are very strict about not bringing shame to the family name. American parents in a growing number of situations either aren't there, don't care, or in some cases are even upset when their kids do well in school, because they would be burdened if the kid wanted to continue their education past 12th grade.
Also, I believe I read somewhere that China only focuses on students who possess all the attributes to succeed, where America tries to educate everyone.

You logical fallacy proffered as a valid debate rebuttal shows that you are upset and lack a meaningful retort that furthers the conversation. You resorting to an ad hominem reveals alot about you as a person
But lol at equating that property values impact how dumbed down the curriculum in public schools has become“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.” - The Nameless City by HP Lovecraft

You can throw all the money in the world in American schools but without the studying culture, respect for teachers' culture, and the cutthroat competition culture that is part of China's success and growth, you won't see much change.

their stupid high population is one of their biggest drawbacks. The saying "You are One in a million" means nothing there because there is LITERALLY nearly 2000 others like you. White collar jobs are so few compared to the sheer population that you have to drum it int he kids heads from birth that they MUST succeed in school to get a cushy job

Also historically speaking, China was the first nation to institute civil service exams (way back in the days of Emperor Shi Huangdi) in order to get the best and brightest to work in government so the idea of meritocracy is deep in their blood. Of course, when communists took over, that idea was stalled and crippled for almost 50 years before it was revived again. But also if you take a look at the specifically Chinese population in the US, many kids come from humble backgrounds where both parents work, speak barely any English, and certainly don't have any extra money to invest in their kids education. Yet these same kids will work hard in schools, will come back home and dilligently do their homework, will spend the weekends at the library using tattered SAT textbooks to practice for competitive exams, will go to school even on the weekends to learn English or Mandarin.
The point is education is sacrosanct among Chinese families and providers of education are venerated.*Simplicity is the key to life*

I'll have to reiterate:
investing in education wont have much of an impact in America because all the retarded leftist schmucks want to major in dumb sh]t like Gender Studies....
Do you honestly think any university in China would have a Gender Studies major? H€ll no, they all study mathematics and sciences... They fight to get into those majors...
In the west, ours is a cultural problem where dumb people are deluding themselves into thinking they're "smart" because they're college educated in a nonsensical degree.....

It needs to adopt a culture of abusing human rights and pushing cultural philosophies and beliefs that are based on a line of thought that you're a complete and utter failure unless you spend your life working 24/7. A lot of people in the west have come to adopt a philosophy of balancing work with pleasure and not living to work.

The education is there for those who want it. The bigger issue is the lack of discipline in the household.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
