I totally understand this... I also did not have enough time to cover the entire curriculum that was presented to me, especially in the area of World History, which under ideal circumstances can't be taught in a year anyway... and all of this other crap that resulted in lost teaching days due to seminars that the students had to attend and speeches about tolerance and what not... yeah, pathetic... While there are faults with the education system in Taiwan, at least the primary focus is on making sure the kids learn basic skills in math, science, history, Chinese and English...
Ludahai years ago when I was in school...there were no computers, copiers or even hand held calculators. I got thrown out of school at 15 and I could read and write very well and I had extremely good penmanship. I never handed in one piece of paper for homework. My point is that we were taught what was necessary.
My daughter now has to graduate...TWENTY YEAR OLDS that cant write a paragraph that makes sense and doesnt have 50 spelling errors...so someone needs to explain why our kids are being indoctrinated instead of educated.
