This reminds me of another article by Charles Liu - "BYE ALS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE, CHINA IS STARTING SOMETHING MUCH MORE FUN" - where I also commented that Mr. Liu's wumao biases and jack of journalistic competence is painfully obvious to the astute reader. The last sentence of this article mentions one problem - rote learning - but doesn't expand on that point at all. Other problems with the education system aren't even mentioned. It doesn't matter from which direction they are taught - the problem is WHAT and HOW they are being taught (to not think for themselves and never question authority being ingrained from a young age). Is that what happened to you, Charles Liu? “China Tries Innovative Teaching Method” – umm, NO, it’s actually just ONE elementary school in Zhejiang Province.
