  • This came up in discussion with other teachers. Nothing will change until they stop the system of Zhongkao and Gaokao in which all grades for all subjects get combined as one net score for which schools and universities decide if you get in or not.

    So I could be good at physics but crap at languages, and not get into one of the best universities for physics. It’s nuts. You have to be a great ‘all rounder’ and just damn good at exams instead of being capable and innovative.









  • Mandatory military service, gun training, and guns are owned in a context of national security.

    Whereas in US it’s a ‘self-defence’ thing so apparently US citizens can fire off a gun in quite a few legal/illegal circumstances. That got extended to school shootings.

    Wouldn’t happen in Switzerland as it seems to be more a collective national defence protocol.

    A) There’s a punchline but it’s a bit meh. B) Thar be haters. C) Rainbow egg?! We know they’re gay already lol

    I’d say, if it’s constructive to say so, the author needs to work on the writing/subtext so that the comic doesn’t do the heavy lifting through the speech bubbles (or the rainbow egg). I think the author needs an editor (another person) to vet ideas and writing, and get feedback.

    It’s more than halfway there. Just refer to A. and C.
