Shocked TOTALLY!!
it's all non sense.
So it's easy for you become No.1 among god knows how many students to go to University? What about those who can't even afford the education fee. what about the % of kids from villege who ends up in Uni compared to kids from big city? It's easy for you to say it. What if you didn't get the top grades, that will be the end of your life. And there is only one chance.
Don't even want to mention about the marriage part.
I know many Chinese who send their kids to Private school by money made from their small Pizza shop while they themselves can't even speak English well.
