Did you go to ISB? I went for three years.


And MrD, no offense, but it really seems like you're reaching here.

a lack of universal education system suggests a class or preference system in place that keeps the farmers, miners, etc in their place

The Netherlands has a multi-tiered school system, as I'm sure many places do.

the author is trying to say, "read carefully"

Why so sure?

where the cameras don't normally go, where the money isn't being spent, finally the crew get to see the inbalances, where the modern image of china isn't quite the whole truth

Yeah, it can mean that. If you *really, really* want it to.



I'm not going to go through every single point you made. But honestly, you're injecting way too much of yourself into your analysis.

I'm gonna go with Wasteland here. While some of your points are really good, others seem to just be reaching.

It is also important to note that an occupation is pretty much decided for everyone.

Different viewpoints, different opinions.

I've been close enough to a lot of chinese students and seen a number of education systems that I suppose I feel I can compare my own.

But considering the lack of real unadulterated info coming out of china, the way this article was written begs closer look into the meaning of the text. It isn't anything like the norm on the site.

No, I went to the Elementary school there but forgot what it was called. So what grades were you in school at ISB, Waste? It seems that in China, school is more stressful before college than during college.
