China Has Cram Schools....

China, the second biggest country of Asia. It was discovered recently that they contain schools that cram their students' brains for three years, and the fourth year these students take a test to see whether or not they will go off to college. It is said that if they fail the test however, they would have to make up the money that THEY paid for because the student failed. Which practically meant that the student AND his/her family would be in manual labor for a very long time, possibly forever. The document I read on this was in the Upfront Magazine, and this article had some quotations from one student who passed the test, and another who wasn't so lucky. They both share their experience of how the school was set up; the classrooms were big, and they were in there for 16 hours hooked up to some liquid that keeps them full and awake for more and more studying and cramming. Imagine going to a school 16 hours a day, every single day of the week for three years; what makes it worse is if you fail the test. I personally find this wrong and would want to take away these cram schools, but hey; I don't own anything big. I do not have a link to the article currently because I read it in the paper magazine.
