overstate the advantages of high school education . what the high school students learn is superfacial and not strong enough to support them to finish post-secondary education. The ratio of failure at C or U is more than 50%. You are too early to be happy. I prefer my kids to have a strong base as the chinese kids have while their english are the same as here. That will help them in the high education.
Unfortunately, both Chinese system and Canadian system are failed in education. This can be evident by Chinese students are driven crazy, really crazy and Canadian students are incapable, those are sure things.
Chinese system is obsolete and over emphasize university preparation; and Canadian system is like current British and American system which prepare students to seek happiness but not challenges all the time, indeed which is a progress but also a failed experiment.
Over emphasizing is always wrong.
