Antiquated Education Scheme 陳舊的教育態度

Hong Kong's education is an antique. It cultures fear-to-loose minds (and suppresses creativity). Everything becomes competition. Kids participate so many extracurriculars they don't have time to be curious. They have endless homework and no time for respect.

I asked my high school English teacher in Canada, "What is education?"

"Education is to better oneself," he said.

(In Hong Kong) How? By not letting our kids choose the subjects they like? By cramming them into one big class? By struggling between using English or Chinese to teach? By highlighting things they fail? By making female teachers wear skirts? By giving many assessments to rank and label students? In what way have we made our children better? Well, they're very good at doing what the teachers say.
