The Chinese way of education is often described in stereotypes: It’s either the “best academic achievers” or on the flip side, “rote-learners with no creativity.” What’s the real story? In her new book, Little Soldiers: An American Boy, A Chinese School and the Global Race to Achieve, upon which tonight’s talk will be based, journalist Lenora Chu chronicles her parenting and investigative journey inside China’s school system, and also explores issues of rural inequality and educators’ longstanding struggle to change what’s broken. Published by HarperCollins, Little Soldiers was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and earned a rare five-star review from the South China Morning Post. "The best book I've read about education in China," wrote Peter Hessler of the New Yorker.
