Concerning the education, we usually think that Asian family and the society, or even Chinese family and the society  put too much emphasis on studying or on the academic behavior. I believe, to us, it is no surprise that Chinese students outperform other students in the world. However, fewer achievements later in adulthood compared to the early life success lead us to wonder if there is something wrong in our education system. Now more and more parents are trying to send their children abroad to have a "better' education.". After all, as for now, the western countries, the U.S., and some European countries cast the greatest power on the world economy, business, and other aspects, it is almost certain that their education is better than ours.

Following link is a report from CNN that describes the education in the China, and that because of the Chinese education system and the studying atmosphere, the U.S is now feeling intimidated. 

1. What do you know about Chinese education? What are the differences between Chinese education system and Taiwanese one?  
2. If you can choose, where do you want your children to accept education? Is it because you want them to have a more pleasant childhood or you want them to be competitive in their future?
