Comment on Would Chinese-style education work on British kids?parent

Comments

I meant USA does not test each kid in school every month, sometimes weekly, to grade and measure their progress,to make sure they get great scores on STEM and all the related subjects, until they entered into college, that approach certainly can smother top kids' creativity and curiosity.

Less frequent milestone check-ups could give the top talent enough space to develop at their own pace "freely", mostly sponsored by their parents though(so really, not the public education system), I think that's what happens in US.

No place that has the perfect system to produce a strong engineering population while set the top kids free, but at a quantity level, China/India system will produce more IT workers and engineers(normalized), which is key to the future.
