It's already beating the entire world. Massively beating it. The non-rural Chinese test scores are leagues ahead of any western country. We're talking....like over a standard deviation.
Then what backwards thing are we going to call education here in America, "noitaziromem"? That's basically all we did for most every subject... "Here's the lesson for today, here are some examples, here's your homework, I hope you become a productive member of society." Now, don't get me wrong, this was great for when we were an industrial society. Back then you wanted to pump out as many people who were as by the book as possible. I only graduated nine increasingly long years ago and I think I was the last one that made it out of the burning building because 1+1 does not equal 3. This "'one man and one woman coming together makes three individuals' so that's how we come to that conclusion that one plus one equals three." I mean sure if you want to look at it that way, outside the box thinking is not inherently frowned upon, but in the great words of Mr Incredible, "MATH IS MATH!" I had to take spanish class in order to graduate, and since I didn't pass with my class in my sophomore year, I got washed back and had to take it for two years with the up and coming grade. I knew I'd never need to use the language because I'd never be living in a spanish speaking country so mentally I was completely disconnected from the subject and it was a struggle to learn. My final grade was barely average, and that was stretching it like taffy. I only passed because I did so much extra credit to make up for it along the way. Same with Algebra 2 with my college entrance exam. Didn't score high enough (because I'd taken the class four years ago) so I had to retake the class, only passed because I spent almost an entire hour with a tutor every day before going home. What we really need is an education system that's geared towards our future path in life. While we don't exactly know what that path will be in middle school (...as I found out in my junior year after having that dream for over a decade), if we're allowed to lean into our interests after building up a foundational base of knowledge in our elementary years, I believe that would greatly increase productivity and learning in education. Such a profound change would require a wild amount of paperwork and I can't imagine forming lesson plans tailored to individual students interests. The work load would just be too much and teachers are already spread to thin as it is already. That and knowing that many schools in some parts of America where the students can't read, write, or do math at half their grade level, I'm confident that that's merely a pipe dream at best.
@@uss-dh7909China’s method of route memorization is why they steel technology and copy it instead of being innovators. They may have great math skills but seriously lack creative analytical skills for innovation.
@@uss-dh7909 In the US Spanish is widely spoken. It's trivial to immerse yourself in Spanish-language culture and get into conversations with Spanish-speaking Americans. An education geared towards your future life would naturally include several languages, as those are the most practical ways to get into different cultures and different points of view on the world. Especially for very insular countries like the US and China, second-language education is crucial. Similarly, any education geared to preparing kids for life in general would include a large amount of science and math, especially statistics. But you can't really teach statistics without algebra.
i also thought about this , just like the japanese in world war 2, at the start the jap army seem winning, but later in the war america keep churning out innovation of weapon, like mustang, b52 bomber and atomic bomb. education gear toward innovation make america innovate better
The problem is large chinese companies only hire young people if they have high scores from academics. Wheras other countries mix academics, work history and abilities when employing. My girlfriend is Chinese and she went to a private school in china. It was 12 hours a day of schooling, 7 days a week, for 8 years. When she got to the UK (leicester Uni) she immediately applied for P.R. She said she likes the relaxed lifestyle here and has no interest of lining up to work in a chinese factory!
Chinese man here. OMG these haunting clips still give me jitters after almost 2 decades, I am glad my child won’t go through this anymore. Because I don’t plan to have any, it all ends with me. 😊😊
Chinese parents and teachers also live horrible lives of slavery. Do you know what 996 work is? On top of this they also do not have any human rights as well.
I am Chinese but a native english speaker who grew up in Canada. I tried to teach English in a private English school in China for awhile in Kunming. However, because I look Chinese, the parents would ask to transfer their kids to one of the foreigner (white looking) teachers. The problem was, most of these foreigner teachers were not proficient english speakers. Most were marginally better than the students they were teaching. I ended up teaching the teaching staff. Travelling around China most English students, including university graduates, would only know the same two or three questions: what is your name?; Where are you from?; and sometimes how long have you been in China? Then they would smile, laugh and make an exit. Then another friend would jump in and ask the same three questions. There was one school I saw that was teaching their students English slang from the seventies. I tried to convince them proper English is better but was overruled by the teacher with years of English teaching experience who would only speak to me in mandarin. The students ended up learning about “jive turkeys” and “what is up my man”. The problem is face. The loss of face when they say something wrong. So to save face, they never speak. And since the teachers can’t speak properly either, they all focus on the written components of the language.
well stated. As soon as they see an ABC or CBC in the classroom, they go to the manager and complain. Yet, some of these ABC and CBC have teaching degrees/license while some white face do not.
the essense of the question is ideology, chinese traditional confusius valued the fake dignity and patriachy, people stay safe in their fabricated paradise socity described even dont have gut to embrace reality of imperfection. thats why good looking filter everywhere in China version ticktok, I felt disgusting when I watched these hypocrtical junk. if you say democratic/ scientific / logic / rationalism are more civilized , then most Chinese are pursuing fantastic / surealitic / hypocrtical ideology in their mind, they even dont dare to question the gov or show them true selves, thats why people selected autortarian in their country, if education keeps so harsh and students & parents cried for mama just like video showed . and no gut to say No, I could say we have longway to reach the kindom of freedom then
Removing english teaching in schools is a disaster. My primary language is Portuguese but most of the new things I've studied and learned in the past 5 years were only available in English.
CCP must remove English. Jack Ma earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English. He became a billionaire eventually. The CCP doesn't want more billionaires who could criticize the government
@@powerfuloptions okay I know Russian and can confirm the observation. A lot of things are not available in Russian either. I had to make new terms when writing thesis as there were no equivalents in Russian.
She said Chinese should value Chinese culture more. I agree except for the fact that communism destroys all culture because everything threatens the fragility and ever increasing vulnerability of communism.
That really is the key. Get a bunch of foreign people together and they'll converse in English. It's the only language in the world that crosses over like this.
In some parts of Europe it is mandatory for certain types of degree programs to have a good English proficiency, whether it's an advanced mathematics degree in France or engineering in the Netherlands or computer science in Austria or Germany.
Perhaps it could be more precisely phrased that, if you get two or more people together who don't have a common native language, English is the most likely language that they'll have in common. Among older people in countries that used to be part of the former Soviet Union, Russian is similarly their lingua franca.
Because there is no merit in learning Mandarin in this English dominant world. French used to be the Lingua Franca a few centuries ago. (I like that irony) But get with the times.
The only reason to learn Chinese nowadays is to detect possible developments in China early by checking their internet and media. Because of the language barrier Chinese officials feel quite safe distributing information in Chinese, not expecting Westerners to understand. Also it helps with catching CCP spies
Frankly it really is especially if she play with other children,they'd learn how to play by agreed rule,object against a rule or refuse to play because certain rule All of this is "counter-revolutionary" step from "established-revolutinary" POV
CCP mantra to cease the teaching of English, way to go for even further isolation of a nation. English is no longer a national thing, it's the language of technology and business, and apart from sarcasm, it has no double meaning when spoken.
I’m really surprised that there isn’t a backlash of children committing (do not know how to say the next word, I don’t want to cause a problem) let’s just say the unthinkable. I mean, this reminds me of torture tactics. No sleep, no feeling proud of oneself, no time to play. The parents just want the best for their children. I’m sure of that but they don’t know any better. They don’t realize they are raising a bunch of automatons. They are squashing every bit of creativity out of these kids. In the future, we will need creative people. They are the ones who rise to the top. Look at other countries who have changed the way they are educating children. In Finland, children no longer need to take homework home. The state actually thinks children should have time to play. The grades have risen since doing this. I think that Finland’s model is wonderful and the whole world could take a lesson from them. My heart just breaks for the kids. They are being deprived of a life that all children everywhere have a right to live. God bless and help them.
During my final year in high school, we were required to be in the classroom by 7am and not leave until 10:30pm. The parents must come to the school to collect their children and escort them home safely, to repeat it all over again the next day. Saturday mornings were used to fit in extra lessons and you literally did not have any spare time to do anything else except for studying. I was doing really well all through my student years and found high school easy, and yet I remember breaking down a few times during that year thinking that I would fail the big exam and end up a massive disappointment to my parents. It was psychologically torturous even though my parents were super supportive and never did anything to put extra pressure on me, so you can imagine how it must be for the kids whose family dish out another layer of high expectations and unrealistic demands on top of what the education system already does…
Honestly I'm not surprised during Maos rule Intellectuals like preffessors, teachers, engineers, etc were put in cowsheds or killed and berated. Afterwards educated youths were sent to villages which left a deep impression on the people. At that time getting into college was like ascending to heaven even if you had connections it was difficult. No wonder people run towards college and university nowadays, they were suppressed for so long and eventually the only way out for the common people became education. Too bad it's become to oversaturated tsk tsk tskk
Horrible!!! 😢 I tell my kids to do the best they can and not to worry about the rest. There’s always the next time. I prefer my kids spending time playing or spending time with us and grandparents.
This is not unique to China, you'll see Korean and Japanese kids studying their backsides off every day. In the case of Korea and Japan, the idea is you get out of life what you put into it, and in Japan it is seen as a social duty to give your kids a better life than the one you were given. The results of working hard in school is better, safer societies, with a higher quality of life in Korea and Japan. I have lived in Tokyo for many years, I have kids in school here. I am married into a Japanese family, my father-in-law is a businessman with a PhD, my wife went to an Ivy-league college in America. Needless to say our kids spend a lot of time studying. They go to school 5 days a week, they have tutoring classes in math and language, not to mention piano, violin, soccer, tennis, and ballet. Every evening I am checking homework, and doing what I can to keep them motivated. Fortunately, they are brighter than I am, and do very well in school. We do encourage them to have fun, they go on frequent playdates, or we have their friends over at our place. We travel when we can, and often we travel with other families so our kids can experience new places with their friends. In regard to China, times are hard, and the harder they are, the more important it seems to find a way to get on top. In regard to English, it is the language of science, business, and technology, and it is mandatory in every developed country I have been too. Abandoning English means abandoning international commerce and relations.
Learning English will give you an advantage when you want to work in other countries, look at the Filipinos we are working in the four corners of the world
Poor children this was absolutely insane. I think in America this would qualify as abuse. The parents would be interviewed by child protective services and maybe have the children taken away. That poor girl was learning and studying till 3 am so she was awake for 18 hours. This is unacceptable
She said only in china the native language and English is mandatory she is wrong in india we should study hindi, native language ,and English all mandatory
I'm pretty sure it's like this in most of the world. In Norway, English and Norwegian are obligatory (two written forms of Norwegian) and 3-5 years of a third language for those wanting to attend university (usually French, German, or Spanish).
It's propaganda- clearly - english is necessary, for the global economy and also for IT branch .... Chinese education Board maybe has not thought about "over stimulated brains" ? If I - as an adult - will try to learn 10 hours a day- it won't matter, cause the brain will only learn better when having positive Attitude towards learning.
The time does not matter - we have even rules in German schools that elementary school students are not allowed to have homework longer than 1 hour per day. And guess what, my kid is reading books afterwards, or playing outside with other kids. If a kid likes learning, the kid will come volunteerly to it and learn faster, without frustration.
All due to a constant race of FOMO. Everyone thinks if they don't constantly work and study they'll fall behind. Even adults are trained to think so, hence the constant forceful pressure on kids.
I tutored Chinese kids in English. Yes, they are overworked and under a lot of pressure to succeed. Didn't help that the English they're being taught in school is subpar, they memorize a lot of things, but don't practice their pronunciation nor do they understand the meanings of the words. Hell, I had students just blanking out because they didn't know the meaning of the word ''help''.
The way English is taught in China is awful. I once witnessed a grammar lesson taught by a Chinese English teacher and during the 40 minute lesson not a single word of English was used.
its hard to teach someone other language which is not their mother tongue, like an English speaker will face same issue while learning mandarin especially grown ups
How narrow-minded is Fu Chunling? Does she think that China is the centre of the universe? Most European children speak, read, and write more than two languages fluently. Nowadays, people travel everywhere the more languages they can speak, the more advantage they will have.
My grade 10 student had to give up her English online class because she studies from Monday to half a day on Sunday. That half day on Sunday is spent with her parents who visits her in the dormitory. She wakes up at 5:00 a.m., goes to school at 5:30 a.m. where they do the morning exercise, the regular class starts at 7 a.m. School children don't have the time to even breathe. Before entering grade 10, she went on vacation with her family. Even throughout her vacation days, we still had online English classes almost every single day. The day she had to say goodbye she said, "Teacher, you're the best teacher I've ever had". I was so heartbroken. I always encourage her to at least make some room for her own interests and happiness.
I am retired, but have taught elementary through college. I always gave my students time to finish homework in class so I could answer any questions they might have.
So, as a foreigner who has worked in China as a teacher since 2010 and has a family with 2 kids now. Everything in this video is 100% accurate and true, and sadly, in some cases, far worse. There has been a massive push for removing English from public schools and/or limiting actually practical use of English. I find myself asking the same questions to my daughters about their homework every day as well; if I don't, we get multiple "shame" messages from the teacher in group chats. In China, the concept of "lose face" is a factor why almost all never speak up, even though they know it is wrong.
"Children of the Corn"reference is all I am seeing. As a child raised in a strict learning environment often physical punishment for missing those marks, I can honestly say, that is a true and real reference. My one reprive is that all my hard work learning took me away from it all and I never went back.
English in school is mandatory in most European countries from either elementary school, or from 5th grade onwards. But we do not feel such a crazy pressure- we actually add French, Italian or Spanish into our school syllabus as 3rd language. I also guess in the Philipines school is maybe hard, but kids still have freedom of going outside and no pressure to stay overnight in Front of homework. China is damaging their future Generation
Chinese parents have been doing this to their kids for at least 20 years now. I've seen it with some of my friends in China. It's sad. Poor kids don't have a real childhood in many cases.
The children shouldn't be the ones explaining the intrinsic need for children's play time to adults which is essential for a child's healthy mental and physical development and is common to all mammals.
I remember that when I started to converse in English seem to be rather difficult for me until a substitute teacher begin to teaches our class English by singing and then I realize that I was way easier as we not only come remember the words but also understand the meaning of the words in sentence through the lyrics, it all started with a slow and simple song then it progress with something fast and finally we shifted to rap.
As a Chinese man who’s been through all this and survived, I can claim that behind those pressure-ridden children stand the most academically unestablished parents. This is one of the cases where ignorance is definitely NOT a bliss. Sad.
My 2 cents: 1. As an educator, forcing children to study 12 hours, 7 days a week is child abuse, being English, Chinese, science, math, history or what not. 2.After certain time of studying, like in economics, your learning curve descends, meaning your effort will not be aligned with your learning, that is why you have relaxing breaks. 3. Commanding the English language does not mean that you will be quoting Shakespeare and talk with a Cockney accent, unless you want to be an academic in the English language. 4.Not withstanding the importance of English today, many countries which do not have English as their native language, e.g. Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, are pretty successful, even though they do not have these forceful, pushy, draconian ways of teaching the language. They learn the language thru normal ways, and those that want to go into certain areas, like international businesses, will benefit if they have good command the language, so they may need more specialized English education. They teach the language, not push it down the throat. 5. On the other hand, commanding the English language, does not guarantee that you would be successful, as a country or as a person. it can certainly help, but education should also emphasize other subjects that help you to develop as a persona or as a nation. The CCP do not realize that Chinese society has several shortcomings derived on their faulty education in some areas, like society and culture, e.g. the Damas, aunties, way of thinking that free stuff should be grabbed, if not forcefully taken from the hands of the people offering, stealing for the elderly is entitled. 6. Technology in the near future will make communication easy as real time translators may substitute, though not always, the need of learning a language. Not that that means we should stop learning languages, but their importance in international issues may diminish. This is my opinion, and yes and Im an ESL educator among other subjects.
My parents expected good effort and grades, but not perfection. I remember one time my mom said I’d rather your best be a B so that you learn humility and grace for yourself.
Come out after finishing school but cannot find job. Why need to study so much n for what.?👈😑 Foreign companies are leaving n local companies are closing. Thousands are out of work.👈😁✌️
So do they not realize English is the international business language? It's great that Chinese should study their own culture but if they want to engage on an international level it would be very advantageous to know english. That guy is totally correct in that it's not about how long you study it's how effective the teaching methods are. There are many ways to learn a language that doesn't take 12 years.
Yeah I am shocked 12 years for a la guage as easy as english.i learned japanese and South Korean in a year mainly because I loved anime and games and good ones ages ago were in Korean language and manga in Japanese .basically to learn a language just get the person interested and have fun in the manga or games or anything of that language that makes them happy .they themself will learn said language faster and much efficiently
Yet you will become a servant under me or work in some subpar factory.while I earn more than you and your seven generation together in a decade at 80 percent.hahaha
Finland gets pretty high PISA scores spending like 30% of CN time studying. Note CN PISA scores are from only a select few top scoring schools and doesnt even reflect their majority
People like to clown on USA PISA scores and use them as proof that our education system is failing, but at least we don’t only cherrypick the best scores from the best schools
Its hilarious CN uses another language to learn the pronunciation of their own words. They literially have to use another language to learn CN in the first place and even so many cant read, or read a narrow selection of words
I once talked to a Korean who did this type of cram studying every day. He said that they shoved the information into their brain for the exam...and then forgot about it.

While we don't exactly know what that path will be in middle school (...as I found out in my junior year after having that dream for over a decade), if we're allowed to lean into our interests after building up a foundational base of knowledge in our elementary years, I believe that would greatly increase productivity and learning in education.
Such a profound change would require a wild amount of paperwork and I can't imagine forming lesson plans tailored to individual students interests. The work load would just be too much and teachers are already spread to thin as it is already. That and knowing that many schools in some parts of America where the students can't read, write, or do math at half their grade level, I'm confident that that's merely a pipe dream at best.
@@uss-dh7909China’s method of route memorization is why they steel technology and copy it instead of being innovators. They may have great math skills but seriously lack creative analytical skills for innovation.
@@uss-dh7909 In the US Spanish is widely spoken. It's trivial to immerse yourself in Spanish-language culture and get into conversations with Spanish-speaking Americans.
An education geared towards your future life would naturally include several languages, as those are the most practical ways to get into different cultures and different points of view on the world. Especially for very insular countries like the US and China, second-language education is crucial.
Similarly, any education geared to preparing kids for life in general would include a large amount of science and math, especially statistics. But you can't really teach statistics without algebra.
i also thought about this , just like the japanese in world war 2, at the start the jap army seem winning, but later in the war america keep churning out innovation of weapon, like mustang, b52 bomber and atomic bomb. education gear toward innovation make america innovate better
The problem is large chinese companies only hire young people if they have high scores from academics. Wheras other countries mix academics, work history and abilities when employing. My girlfriend is Chinese and she went to a private school in china. It was 12 hours a day of schooling, 7 days a week, for 8 years. When she got to the UK (leicester Uni) she immediately applied for P.R. She said she likes the relaxed lifestyle here and has no interest of lining up to work in a chinese factory!
Yeah. But if China sent all their people. Their weakest people would outclass Americans!.
It sounds like all of that work got her out of China and into a cushy job, so there's that. She's like a poster girl for English language education.

This is child abuse. Disgusting! What are the long-term effects on the children going to be?
Chinese parents and teachers also live horrible lives of slavery. Do you know what 996 work is? On top of this they also do not have any human rights as well.
I am Chinese but a native english speaker who grew up in Canada. I tried to teach English in a private English school in China for awhile in Kunming. However, because I look Chinese, the parents would ask to transfer their kids to one of the foreigner (white looking) teachers. The problem was, most of these foreigner teachers were not proficient english speakers. Most were marginally better than the students they were teaching. I ended up teaching the teaching staff.
Travelling around China most English students, including university graduates, would only know the same two or three questions: what is your name?; Where are you from?; and sometimes how long have you been in China? Then they would smile, laugh and make an exit. Then another friend would jump in and ask the same three questions.
There was one school I saw that was teaching their students English slang from the seventies. I tried to convince them proper English is better but was overruled by the teacher with years of English teaching experience who would only speak to me in mandarin. The students ended up learning about “jive turkeys” and “what is up my man”.
The problem is face. The loss of face when they say something wrong. So to save face, they never speak. And since the teachers can’t speak properly either, they all focus on the written components of the language.
The face thing is so true.. and the racism towards asian english speakers.. is so true too. Most time the white guy can barely even form a sentence.
I support teaching 70's English.

well stated. As soon as they see an ABC or CBC in the classroom, they go to the manager and complain. Yet, some of these ABC and CBC have teaching degrees/license while some white face do not.
the essense of the question is ideology, chinese traditional confusius valued the fake dignity and patriachy, people stay safe in their fabricated paradise socity described even dont have gut to embrace reality of imperfection. thats why good looking filter everywhere in China version ticktok, I felt disgusting when I watched these hypocrtical junk. if you say democratic/ scientific / logic / rationalism are more civilized , then most Chinese are pursuing fantastic / surealitic / hypocrtical ideology in their mind, they even dont dare to question the gov or show them true selves, thats why people selected autortarian in their country, if education keeps so harsh and students & parents cried for mama just like video showed . and no gut to say No, I could say we have longway to reach the kindom of freedom then
Removing english teaching in schools is a disaster. My primary language is Portuguese but most of the new things I've studied and learned in the past 5 years were only available in English.

That really is the key. Get a bunch of foreign people together and they'll converse in English. It's the only language in the world that crosses over like this.
No, also French, German, arabian and other languages can do it also.
In some parts of Europe it is mandatory for certain types of degree programs to have a good English proficiency, whether it's an advanced mathematics degree in France or engineering in the Netherlands or computer science in Austria or Germany.
None of those languages come close to American English
Perhaps it could be more precisely phrased that, if you get two or more people together who don't have a common native language, English is the most likely language that they'll have in common. Among older people in countries that used to be part of the former Soviet Union, Russian is similarly their lingua franca.
Why would people learn the language of the world's most hated ethnic group? At a certain point, the world will quit this.
This is a form of torture. These poor children.

Kids NEED to play often to actually learn anything
A similar thing happened in Canada where it was banned in Quebec, and the politicians sent their kids out of state to learn English and French.
this education is almost military like. it's not like they want to invade an island or something... right?
No, they are not gonna invade an island or something. They haven't been saying that for 70 years.

@@Xi_Pooh_Shill But soon they will...
@@robbiesheppard3280 i am being sarcastic by the way.
I lived next to China but not a single moment think about learning their language at all, I wonder why?
Because there is no merit in learning Mandarin in this English dominant world. French used to be the Lingua Franca a few centuries ago. (I like that irony) But get with the times.
The only reason to learn Chinese nowadays is to detect possible developments in China early by checking their internet and media. Because of the language barrier Chinese officials feel quite safe distributing information in Chinese, not expecting Westerners to understand. Also it helps with catching CCP spies
☘️A child with time on hand. To imagine and play. Is the CCP, great fear.
Playing is counter-revolutionary, comrade.
Frankly it really is especially if she play with other children,they'd learn how to play by agreed rule,object against a rule or refuse to play because certain rule
All of this is "counter-revolutionary" step from "established-revolutinary" POV

Aloha Snackbar!
CCP mantra to cease the teaching of English, way to go for even further isolation of a nation. English is no longer a national thing, it's the language of technology and business, and apart from sarcasm, it has no double meaning when spoken.
Thank you!
I’m really surprised that there isn’t a backlash of children committing (do not know how to say the next word, I don’t want to cause a problem) let’s just say the unthinkable. I mean, this reminds me of torture tactics. No sleep, no feeling proud of oneself, no time to play. The parents just want the best for their children. I’m sure of that but they don’t know any better. They don’t realize they are raising a bunch of automatons. They are squashing every bit of creativity out of these kids. In the future, we will need creative people. They are the ones who rise to the top. Look at other countries who have changed the way they are educating children. In Finland, children no longer need to take homework home. The state actually thinks children should have time to play. The grades have risen since doing this. I think that Finland’s model is wonderful and the whole world could take a lesson from them. My heart just breaks for the kids. They are being deprived of a life that all children everywhere have a right to live. God bless and help them.
During my final year in high school, we were required to be in the classroom by 7am and not leave until 10:30pm. The parents must come to the school to collect their children and escort them home safely, to repeat it all over again the next day. Saturday mornings were used to fit in extra lessons and you literally did not have any spare time to do anything else except for studying. I was doing really well all through my student years and found high school easy, and yet I remember breaking down a few times during that year thinking that I would fail the big exam and end up a massive disappointment to my parents. It was psychologically torturous even though my parents were super supportive and never did anything to put extra pressure on me, so you can imagine how it must be for the kids whose family dish out another layer of high expectations and unrealistic demands on top of what the education system already does…
These poor children. 7:27 These points on how education is taught english are so accurate.
Honestly I'm not surprised during Maos rule Intellectuals like preffessors, teachers, engineers, etc were put in cowsheds or killed and berated. Afterwards educated youths were sent to villages which left a deep impression on the people. At that time getting into college was like ascending to heaven even if you had connections it was difficult. No wonder people run towards college and university nowadays, they were suppressed for so long and eventually the only way out for the common people became education. Too bad it's become to oversaturated tsk tsk tskk
this is why Filipinos have advantage applying for work abroad. they learn english at early age.
So are the Chinese.
Y'know, Maoist China rn is giving hardcore Late Stage Soviet Union vibes
Dunno, everyone in the Soviet bloc knew it sucked by even before the end. These people are still brainwashed.
With strong undertones of capitalist dystopia. It's called 'socialism with Chinese characteristics'.
99. I wonder if the teachers only give them 99s because they can. Do they do that on purpose to keep the pressure on?

@@_n_a-ez5pc Excuse me?????
Horrible!!! 😢 I tell my kids to do the best they can and not to worry about the rest. There’s always the next time. I prefer my kids spending time playing or spending time with us and grandparents.
This is not unique to China, you'll see Korean and Japanese kids studying their backsides off every day. In the case of Korea and Japan, the idea is you get out of life what you put into it, and in Japan it is seen as a social duty to give your kids a better life than the one you were given. The results of working hard in school is better, safer societies, with a higher quality of life in Korea and Japan. I have lived in Tokyo for many years, I have kids in school here. I am married into a Japanese family, my father-in-law is a businessman with a PhD, my wife went to an Ivy-league college in America. Needless to say our kids spend a lot of time studying. They go to school 5 days a week, they have tutoring classes in math and language, not to mention piano, violin, soccer, tennis, and ballet. Every evening I am checking homework, and doing what I can to keep them motivated. Fortunately, they are brighter than I am, and do very well in school. We do encourage them to have fun, they go on frequent playdates, or we have their friends over at our place. We travel when we can, and often we travel with other families so our kids can experience new places with their friends. In regard to China, times are hard, and the harder they are, the more important it seems to find a way to get on top. In regard to English, it is the language of science, business, and technology, and it is mandatory in every developed country I have been too. Abandoning English means abandoning international commerce and relations.
Almost all computer programming languages worth knowing have syntax based on english.
Even Japanese have 6 yrs spent on learning English.........hahaha. These guys are just self sabotaging themselves.

She said only in china the native language and English is mandatory she is wrong in india we should study hindi, native language ,and English all mandatory
I'm pretty sure it's like this in most of the world. In Norway, English and Norwegian are obligatory (two written forms of Norwegian) and 3-5 years of a third language for those wanting to attend university (usually French, German, or Spanish).
It's propaganda- clearly - english is necessary, for the global economy and also for IT branch ....
Chinese education Board maybe has not thought about "over stimulated brains" ?
If I - as an adult - will try to learn 10 hours a day- it won't matter, cause the brain will only learn better when having positive Attitude towards learning.
The time does not matter - we have even rules in German schools that elementary school students are not allowed to have homework longer than 1 hour per day.
And guess what, my kid is reading books afterwards, or playing outside with other kids. If a kid likes learning, the kid will come volunteerly to it and learn faster, without frustration.
All due to a constant race of FOMO. Everyone thinks if they don't constantly work and study they'll fall behind. Even adults are trained to think so, hence the constant forceful pressure on kids.

Hell, I had students just blanking out because they didn't know the meaning of the word ''help''.
I've been teaching in Taiwan for 20 years that's pretty much the same❤
The way English is taught in China is awful. I once witnessed a grammar lesson taught by a Chinese English teacher and during the 40 minute lesson not a single word of English was used.
Problem is Chinese teacher with Chinenglish teaching kids Chinenglish accent. And many public school do not hire western teachers.
its hard to teach someone other language which is not their mother tongue, like an English speaker will face same issue while learning mandarin especially grown ups

How narrow-minded is Fu Chunling? Does she think that China is the centre of the universe? Most European children speak, read, and write more than two languages fluently. Nowadays, people travel everywhere the more languages they can speak, the more advantage they will have.
This is heart breaking. I wouldn't want a kid in china after seeing this. Horrible.
My grade 10 student had to give up her English online class because she studies from Monday to half a day on Sunday. That half day on Sunday is spent with her parents who visits her in the dormitory. She wakes up at 5:00 a.m., goes to school at 5:30 a.m. where they do the morning exercise, the regular class starts at 7 a.m. School children don't have the time to even breathe.
Before entering grade 10, she went on vacation with her family. Even throughout her vacation days, we still had online English classes almost every single day.
The day she had to say goodbye she said, "Teacher, you're the best teacher I've ever had". I was so heartbroken. I always encourage her to at least make some room for her own interests and happiness.
1:50 what a crazy line comming from a child in that country
I am retired, but have taught elementary through college. I always gave my students time to finish homework in class so I could answer any questions they might have.
Pooh bear wants to get rid of English and Western culture, yet his mini pooh is studying in America. It is all about control, dictorship.
So, as a foreigner who has worked in China as a teacher since 2010 and has a family with 2 kids now. Everything in this video is 100% accurate and true, and sadly, in some cases, far worse. There has been a massive push for removing English from public schools and/or limiting actually practical use of English. I find myself asking the same questions to my daughters about their homework every day as well; if I don't, we get multiple "shame" messages from the teacher in group chats. In China, the concept of "lose face" is a factor why almost all never speak up, even though they know it is wrong.
This is painful to watch these kids suffer like this
"Children of the Corn"reference is all I am seeing. As a child raised in a strict learning environment often physical punishment for missing those marks, I can honestly say, that is a true and real reference. My one reprive is that all my hard work learning took me away from it all and I never went back.

In the Philippines English is mandatory in school, government and business
English in school is mandatory in most European countries from either elementary school, or from 5th grade onwards.
But we do not feel such a crazy pressure- we actually add French, Italian or Spanish into our school syllabus as 3rd language.
I also guess in the Philipines school is maybe hard, but kids still have freedom of going outside and no pressure to stay overnight in Front of homework.

I feel even worse when they show stories on the children of china
Too much pressure will make all results much worse.
Very bad parenting.
Children are their ONLY retirement plans and education must force into them.
It's not that selfish. The idea is if a kid doesn't go to college, they won't have stability, and that terrifies parents.
@jackxiao9702 what the hell you mean stability,the kids purpose is only for bragging rights for the parents if they went to college and passed
Is that even effective? Sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and mania do not tend to result in effective learning or performance.
The children shouldn't be the ones explaining the intrinsic need for children's play time to adults which is essential for a child's healthy mental and physical development and is common to all mammals.
Thank you for a particularly interesting episode. Warmest compliments. :)
I remember that when I started to converse in English seem to be rather difficult for me until a substitute teacher begin to teaches our class English by singing and then I realize that I was way easier as we not only come remember the words but also understand the meaning of the words in sentence through the lyrics, it all started with a slow and simple song then it progress with something fast and finally we shifted to rap.
As a Chinese man who’s been through all this and survived, I can claim that behind those pressure-ridden children stand the most academically unestablished parents. This is one of the cases where ignorance is definitely NOT a bliss. Sad.

More schoolwork doesn't mean more knowledge. This kind of system is torture
1:55 sounds like a complete adult wtf.
This is insane! Those poor children. My heart goes out to them. 😢
My 2 cents: 1. As an educator, forcing children to study 12 hours, 7 days a week is child abuse, being English, Chinese, science, math, history or what not. 2.After certain time of studying, like in economics, your learning curve descends, meaning your effort will not be aligned with your learning, that is why you have relaxing breaks. 3. Commanding the English language does not mean that you will be quoting Shakespeare and talk with a Cockney accent, unless you want to be an academic in the English language. 4.Not withstanding the importance of English today, many countries which do not have English as their native language, e.g. Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, are pretty successful, even though they do not have these forceful, pushy, draconian ways of teaching the language. They learn the language thru normal ways, and those that want to go into certain areas, like international businesses, will benefit if they have good command the language, so they may need more specialized English education. They teach the language, not push it down the throat. 5. On the other hand, commanding the English language, does not guarantee that you would be successful, as a country or as a person. it can certainly help, but education should also emphasize other subjects that help you to develop as a persona or as a nation. The CCP do not realize that Chinese society has several shortcomings derived on their faulty education in some areas, like society and culture, e.g. the Damas, aunties, way of thinking that free stuff should be grabbed, if not forcefully taken from the hands of the people offering, stealing for the elderly is entitled. 6. Technology in the near future will make communication easy as real time translators may substitute, though not always, the need of learning a language. Not that that means we should stop learning languages, but their importance in international issues may diminish. This is my opinion, and yes and Im an ESL educator among other subjects.
My parents expected good effort and grades, but not perfection. I remember one time my mom said I’d rather your best be a B so that you learn humility and grace for yourself.
Come out after finishing school but cannot find job. Why need to study so much n for what.?👈😑
Foreign companies are leaving n local companies are closing. Thousands are out of work.👈😁✌️
English is the most spoken language in the world. A lot of countries are ESL.
So do they not realize English is the international business language? It's great that Chinese should study their own culture but if they want to engage on an international level it would be very advantageous to know english. That guy is totally correct in that it's not about how long you study it's how effective the teaching methods are. There are many ways to learn a language that doesn't take 12 years.
Yeah I am shocked 12 years for a la guage as easy as english.i learned japanese and South Korean in a year mainly because I loved anime and games and good ones ages ago were in Korean language and manga in Japanese .basically to learn a language just get the person interested and have fun in the manga or games or anything of that language that makes them happy .they themself will learn said language faster and much efficiently
