After this week's conversation class, I thanked God I was born here in Oz and not in China.
Depending on the school, for the last one to three years of their schooling Chinese students had to attend school 6.5 days out of 7! 6.5! And a full day was not the 8.30 to 15.00 bludge we have here: some students went from 8.00 to 19.00 (and some started at 6.00!), and then had homework to complete afterwards!
I'm surprised anyone survived. I wouldn't have.
