I agree with almost everything in the article and raised my children with great freedom along with strong discipline. Very old-fashioned. The only thing I could not manage was sleeping in the same room or same bed with a baby. They’re so noisy!
concur - I take every country comparison on ed with a grain of salt as the measurements are not always equivalent. It is not mandatory that all kids in Japan and China go to high school for example. Often the tests aren’t administered in non-prep trade schools, etc...
