Chinese crime rate among youth is pretty staggering to say the least, so that assertion is baseless. Crime is present in every walk of life especially when it comes to living under the iron fist of an authoritarian exploitative state.

Learning with a stick shift!
That was how I did it as well.

Comparing the US and Chinese systems is a little futile....in the US (unlike China) the secondary education is of little importance, it's about teaching skill sets, whereas in China, you ARE studying for the GaoKao - that's the ultimate goal.
However, in China, after you pass the GaoKao (and especially if you are accepted into a Key University), you are finished, for the most part. Whereas in the US, college is much more involved generally speaking.

@maimai5744 that's true. Actually the exam system changes in adjust to the fairness, though not entirely and not in whole country.

If this was shown at my school, the regular ed people would make fun of this and stereotype. The advanced ed would make Asian jokes made by the Asians.

i almost cried when her grandfather came lol
I think this documentary should be shown in every school across America!While I strongly disagree with Chinese parents putting pressure on their children to the extent that they do,I do admire the students' desires to do their very best in school!I'm only 17 and I know I was motivated to try harder in school after watching this!Thanks for posting!

@ChineseSlaves If its so backwards why are Chinese kids so smart and behaved unlike for example in america where everyone is dealing drugs and popping bullets in each other.
