Val: Listen to this - Val: "In China's cities, kindergartners speak three languages and solve math problems in their heads... Val: "High school students study six hours a day and happily attend special tutoring classes on the weekend... Val: "Chinese children excel in science, math, music and the arts...rising to much higher standards than those set for U.S. students." Gramma: What do they mean by that? We expect a lot from our kids! Holly: Hey Mom! If my school sells $33,000 worth of wrapping paper, we can hire an algebra teacher!
