RE: Education Systems in Developing Countries Need An Upgrade
Great text - even though I don't agree a 100% here:
At least in America, parents AND teachers encourage their kids to follow their dreams.
From my own experience with American high schools, this doesn't count for all teachers ;)
Oh absolutely! But I meant to say, because extra curricular activities are huge here, if someone is talented when it comes to art, sports, or music, they're free to express their interests. Teachers won't embarrass or hit them if they aren't good at academia. Obviously, like you said, there's outliers.
