These children are smart.

Absolutely no higher order thinking going on. These kids don't even seem to know what fun is. What exactly is being taught here besides how to follow orders?

Liked most everything I saw, except it felt too hurried and artificial. Repetition is great, although it felt like a cover-up for lack of engagement. Guess I forget these ARE 5-6 year olds. Not much attention span there.

this is not brainwashing or hypnosis, it is a comprehensive approach to the education of kindergarten age students. there is a lot of science and psychology at work here. being a kindergarten teacher is a complicated, demanding and thankless job, and they are literally preparing our children for the challenges they will face as far away as high school and college. shame on you who scoff at the importance of quality early education.

Always back to African culture. Where it all started is where it's all ending.

@Coolguyus123 hypnotized and indoctrinated. getting them ready for the NWO!!

This looks almost exactly like my kid's tae kwon do class (except obviously they are learning something different). All the gesturing, answer and response. They love it, they learn better this way at that age. I thought it was going to be too much for him, but structured like this, he can handle it just fine. So much answer and response sounds horrible to us grown ups, but it shoves a ton of repetition into a short amount of time.

Children need structure and I'm sure they have time to be creative also. Some of the people that posted comments have obviously never been a teacher. Great teaching!!
