Gap in education

I found a very interesting video on YouTube.  In this video, they talk about many difference between Chinese education and American education. In China, if kids do not get high scores, they might not go to school anymore or they cannot go to schools that they want. The final exam before students go to universities is important because it might decide their life. One of the reason that many people in China want to immigrant to other counties, such as America, because they tire of Chinese education. In America, students do not necessary go to the top universities, but they think go to a better graduate school is necessary. In China, students just need to know how to get better grades in the tests. For example, they need to memorize almost everything in the book or do more and more exercises. However, tests are becoming more in the US. Chinese students have more stress in study. Chinese parents will satisfy everything that children need because they want their children do well in the schools.

However, compare with math, American students do not well. In this article, it shows a lot of data about American math score below average in OECD countries. American Schools vs. the World: Expensive, Unequal, Bad at Math
