Many factors play into China's booming economy - one of which is its education. So, how do the Chinese do it? I found out through this interview with several students in two Chinese high schools. See the difference in the education of the other side of the world.

Part 3 includes an interview of a member of the student council in China. Their duties are pretty similar to those of student councils in the US, but is much harder to become a member of. In this part, I've also interviewed all the participants on their future career dreams, asking them an interesting question I was asked before, "Do you want to be an banker or an engineer in the future? Bankers do nothing and get everything, while engineers do everything and get very little." It was interesting to see how most answered that they wanted to be the "engineer" type, but that the one who wanted to be a "banker"  said that they were too exhausted from the constant work in school. However, the last response was probably the most genuine, in that he wanted to be the "engineer" type but still make lots of money like the "banker" type. I've also had the opportunity to witness 20th High's weekly flag raising ceremony. Every Monday, every student and staff member in the school assembles in the courtyard to march and salute the flag with the national anthem. Select students are nominated to write and orate a partriotic essay.
