A Chinese High School Experience.

Last night, I did a salon class online about education.  Sean, a student from Yixing, told me some interesting stories from his high school days.  His high school days were not enjoyable for him.  Being a countrysider in a city school, put him at a disadvantage.  The parents of the city children gave gifts to the teachers.  Furthermore, the teachers were paid more if their students were able to get into a top ranked university.  Students having trouble and having no connections were ignored.
