It was a key school in our Province so that it had a high educational plan to every student. . We had the same goal when the first day we sat together in class that was the Senior High School Entrance Examination. It was so strange that the exam only concentrated in academic, not even the physical education. I was afraid to school at the first time. We had lots of homework to do every day. Numerous homework always made me so late to bed and the next day I was listless to creep to school.

    This could be due to the fact that education itself provides a necessary set of skills to be successful economically, or the fact that individuals who actively pursue education are naturally more motivated to pursue careers that provide greater economic benefits.

Low economic mobility within China – a potential result of the complex, bureaucratic nature of the government and its policies – has become even more stagnant as…

I continually felt as if I was drowning in school work and the very industrial set up of many of my classes just made me feel worse. Most of my classes and teachers were structured like a factory and gave little to no room for creativity. As someone who loved art, I often found myself seeking refuge in the art department with my art teachers.…

    Freshman year of high school is scary for anyone, the enormous transition from being a top dog at middle school, back to an underclassman; wondering if your high school teachers will be as unforgiving as your 8th grade teacher’s descriptions, or even just that uncertainty that comes along with any major change. As a homeschooler entering school system for the first time, and having completely skipped 8th grade, it was terrifying.

It definitely didn’t help that, at 13, I was the youngest person in the building. Just two days into the school year, I discovered that P-AP world…
