Personally I don not really like our country's education system that much. Due to the hierarchy of our education statues,if a student fails school in his/her teenage, it will be extremely difficult for him/her to make it up after.
May be there are people who offer adult education and who promise that if you take their classes, you will be able to get a same bachelor degree as other people get from those fancy colleges. But Is it true? I think everybody knows the answer. When I was 16, since my score was 20 points lower than the acceptance level of general high schools, it left me with only one choice of goin' to a vocational school. After two yrs, i screwed up everything. There was nothing i could see in my future except all freaking darkness. But luckily i got an opportunity to promote myself. That is another story.
And furthermore, our education system limits kids self-developing. All students are judged under a same shit criterion. And after those young adult get into colleges, however, many of them cannot keep up and do what a college student ought to do. Our high school education system is too critical. And college education system flawed, e.g, lacking of things that teach students to be responsible. I hope someday they can be reformed.
