I found the information about Chinese younger generation very interesting. As a teacher I can see how their (Asian students') hard work and constantly being pressured to be successful, proves to make them excellent students. To some point I agree that kids have to be pushed by their parents. Most of the time it is better to have children in some kind of educational/learning center than letting them play video games 24/7, watch TV, or get in trouble in the streets.
I greatly enjoyed today's debate (socialist vs. capitalist, extreme poor vs. extreme rich, etc.) Every topic was very informative, exciting and will be discussed in my classroom. Being able to compare Columbus's view of the world to Jesuits' map, and learning about Matteo Ricci was interesting as well.
