"I was driven mad by the Chinese education system"

Cannot totally agree with the author, especially on the proposed solution of "keeping housewives busy, and automatically seeing kids back to being creative and independent" part. But I must say there is at least some truth in it: parents' tends to bring their own social anxiety into the their children's education.

For long, parents have been conveniently blaming the country or the education system for pushing their poor kids too hard, without realizing they are far more influential to their kids than all the other factors combine. Parents are their kid's first role model. Kids look at their parents for feedback for almost everything do and constantly adjust the way they think and behave. So if a girl killed herself because she got 4 marks lesser than the topper of her class, it is her parents convincing her it deserve such significance. Not the country, not the education system, but the parents are to be blamed.

Parents, you are the role model, lead with action!
