How are Chinese children different?
On day one I was shocked by the dedication of the students.
Chinese children spend countless hours in the classroom, arriving at around 6am and leaving at about 10pm with just a few breaks in between for food and exercise.
All students are unanimously focused on the Gao Kao, the final year exam taken to get into university.
Particularly for students from the countryside, such as these, it is their only way out. Securing a place at a good university is synonymous with securing a comfortable life later and the curriculum seems entirely geared towards it.
Learning the correct answer to write on the exam paper is more highly prized than encouraging independent thought
An education in Chinese schooling
"Language is a part of culture," Hollingsworth said.
Cox said she keeps Chinese decorations around the house, encourages them (her children) to celebrate Chinese holidays and has them learning to speak Chinese.
"It's their heritage, it's where they are from and it's something they need to be proud of," she said.

CHILDREN at Matchborough First School have been dancing with dragons at an after-school club in time for Chinese New Year.
With funding from the Redditch Arts Council, the Redditch Chinese Association has been working with the children making a lions head, learning Mandarin and singing Chinese songs.
Bryonie Williams, foundations stage co-ordinator at the school, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to participate in and experience the Chinese culture, giving them insights and understanding in our multi-cultural community."
To mark the new year, a street party will be held by the Redditch Chinese Association on Sunday, February 17 in the town that will involve Chinese food, music and dance.
Beijing Olympics organizers had no choice but to cancel a first-come, first-served ticket sales policy ....
because overwhelming demand threw the process into chaos, a senior official said in an interview published Tuesday....Other than concerns about Beijing's notorious air pollution, preparations for the Olympics that open Aug. 8 have gone well so far. The city has earned high praise from the International Olympic Committee for its venues, and athletes had few complaints during a series of test events over the last several months.
But the ticketing fiasco was a big frustration for Chinese, some of who feel their interests have been sidelined in the flurry of preparations for the event that is expected to attract an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 foreign visitors.
This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition....
.. will explore one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and provide an insight
into China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, and his legacy.
Objects featured in the exhibition will include a number of the
world-famous terracotta warriors from Xi'an, China, which were
buried alongside the First Emperor in readiness for the afterlife, as well as some of the most striking recent discoveries made on the site.
In introducing the idea of a unified state and effectively creating China in 221 BC, the First Emperor of Qin created what is today the oldest surviving political entity in the world. How that state has survived, developed and is viewed today will be explored through events, lectures and debates around the exhibition.
