You will never learn high calculus or probability while in high school but basic stuff like algebra are done to death and students generally memories questions patterns and go through like tons of questions. it's beneficial in the sense that the foundation for further knowledge are build well but most of it are wasted when college comes >.< | ||

The learning pace in mathematics seemed always slow to me anyway, I would have preferred some challenge in school. I got that in university ^^ | ||

That's a completely different topic regarding cultural differences, and I'm pretty sure you would severely struggle to fit inside a community if you lived in China. | ||

this also explains why some say it all evens out in college. when the minimum to medium effort self practice no longer makes much difference, the pace of learning slows down. in uni, self study is the majority of what goes on academically. while we could say chinese students have always been studying by themselves, spending as much time to reach the desired goals as necessary, the u.s. students are just late to the party. if you go to school in america and study like you were in a chinese school, you'll either just be bored with your level, or if fortunate, you can access better resources in fast track programs and do just as well or better. | ||
