Beijing Acid Blog #49 : In some ways the Asian educational system may work better than the western system

I know it's lame to just link to what other blogs are saying, but sometimes the content is so compelling that I have to do it. I especially like how Frank points out that it's not the case that the western system is entirely bad and the Asian system is entirely good; rather, each are good at different stages of the game. I've always been interested in education as a subject - now that I have a daughter, it jumps to the top of my concerns. Let me also say while I'm here that the bloggers at Microsoft are producing some of the most nteresting stuff out there, and it's not at all about standing on a particular soapbox. MSFT employees are genuinely interested in all facets of work and life, and have interesting things to say.
