http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2011/12/10-lessons-am...
In a survey from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), it was revealed that Chinese students are easily outperforming their peers around the world. For anyone familiar with the "Tiger Mother" parenting style of Amy Chua, this is certainly not a surprise. It is a disappointment for American students, however, who no doubt would like to be superior as well. But the fact remains that the Chinese are simply outperforming the rest of the world, and it has little to do with natural ability or even luck, but rather, smart choices made in the educational culture in China. Read on, and we’ll take a look at 10 things that China is doing that make a difference in their educational performance, as well as consider how these ideas might be applied to American education.

The U.S. stands out from the crowd in many ways, but average test scores in science and math usually don’t place our nation in the top tier. While there are many top-notch educational facilities in our country, from elementary all the way up to college, overall, the American educational system could use a major overhaul. Students simply haven’t been keeping up with those in other nations when it comes to learning the basics of math and science, a fact that could leave us behind in an economy driven by technology.While there are many nations with amazing educational systems that you might expect to outpace American students in science, there are a number of other, more surprising, countries that fare better as well. Here, we’ve listed just a few of the countries you might not expect to best us in science scores, but that national studies have found actually do — with some beating Americans quite soundly.
