Yea, I guess I am lucky too. My cousin from Hong Kong always talk about how exams in his boys-lucky public chartered school (Most schools in Hong Kong are not government-public schools, but are religion-founded public chartered schools) are made of hundreds of questions that require you to basically calculate so fast, you can't make an error.
As for what Delphi said about Shanghai's practice books: sort of stupid to have that much practice questions......Never actually saw 1 from the Mainland, the ones I had in Hong Kong was pretty thin though, and trouble came mostly from writting Chinese which has too much strokes.
Chinese philosophy, and thus education: it is okay most of the time, but when it comes to education, it is INSANE. Someone has to lose, but students and parents just..........you fill in the word.
Though 1 thing, I don't think bucking up is very realistic yet in China.
People forget that schools teach you math, not politics, language arts, not finance, history, not home ec. A college graduate would be "stupid" not knowing home ec and finances.......

Yea, people are better off starting their own company.
Anyone know of a country that helps people start businesses with a business credit?
