Enlighten me

Post by LaLou »

I've just read this article but I'm confused right now. I think there is a great deal of irony in it. Am I right? Or is this serious?

Due to my bias against The Onion, I don't think it's completely serious.. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the ages of the Students(Either raising American ages, or lowering Chinese ages) to make the difference in in age wider.


My support on this?

The Onion is a satirical newsletter. The American education system is not quite that bad. I have seen it get worse in the short time since I was a student. I do hope we can fix it before it becomes un-fixable.
