| You are right that the CC population is not typical of all students but I am not sure how typical the Chinese and Indian students profiled in the film are. Obviously, the film-makers were trying to make a point. The two American students in the film were put forth as typical of high achieving students at one of the best US high schools, but we all know that many high achieving US students do spend a lot of time studying and are not airheads, unlike the two students featured in the film. I would like to hear from some unbiased people who are actually familiar with the range of high school students in China and India as far as their curriculum and dedication to studies, so we can accurately compare them to the range of high school students here. |
