Hey there! Have you ever wondered how students in different countries compare? 📖 Recently, a man named Vivek Ramaswamy, who’s running to be the governor of Ohio in the United States, shared something interesting.
He said that the average student in the Chinese mainland is four years ahead of the average student in the U.S. in school performance! 😲 That’s like a 6th grader in the U.S. being on the same level as a 2nd grader in the Chinese mainland.
Vivek wants to make schools better in Ohio and the whole U.S. He thinks there’s an “education achievement crisis” that needs fixing. 🎓
People online had lots to say about this. Some agreed and said, “Maybe we should ask the Chinese mainland for some advice!” 🤔
Others thought the four-year difference might not be accurate because schools are different around the world. One person said, “You can’t get better without learning the basics!” 📚
Some felt that students need to focus more on truly understanding what they learn, not just getting good grades. 📝
But not everyone agreed. Some people think changing schools is hard and one person can’t do it alone. Still, many support Vivek’s idea to improve education. 🌟
What do you think? How can schools help students learn better and enjoy studying more? Let’s keep the conversation going! 💬
