Brain overload, that's what school tries to do. Their agenda seems to be, "How much can our students take before they get permanent brain farts"......lol.

Have you went to school in China? It makes going to school in Canada feels like daycare.

Canada schools are far behind everyone else. It's just the work load that is high in Higher Education...lol. Even when I was studying I would get subjects from the library to get my mind of school. The change of venue really helped me to concentrate.

The other students I was with were from Kenya and Egypt and Hong Kong and they all say that everything we were taking at that time OAC (grade 13) they already did in their own country in grade 8 or 9. That's a big difference.

Did you go to school in China?

I grew up in Hong Kong until 10 years old...yeah, we learned about multiplication tables in grade 2, fractions in grade 3 and equations in grade 4. I learned to read Chinese until grade 4...I did keep it up after in Canada...but today I can read Chinese newspaper...

Education and performance expectation is very different here. It's not uncommon to fail kids in Hong Kong...but almost unheard of here. And teaching methods is very different...in Hong Kong, it's literally spoon feeding you information. There is good and bad about it...but feeding a lot of info to kids when their brain is most plastic to learn...that's not really a bad thing at all.
