A Chinese Education, For a Price

A Chinese Education, For a Price

If you are a teacher, you need to read this. Currently many teachers, including myself, feel like we are constantly being compared to teachers around the world unfairly. We are compared using test scores but what officials don't look are details and structure of the education systems.

In this article the world of where money can get you in China is revealed. The idea that paying almost 5,000 so that your child can sit closer to the board is shocking! The idea that Teacher Appreciation gifts will could get your child a better position in the class or more attention is crazy. This article made me both respect the district and state that I work in and feel bad for the students in poverty in China that don't have a chance of getting a fair education.
