Deft mix of memoir and reportage by a Chinese American journalist who moves with her Mandarin-speaking American husband and toddler son to China and then has to decide what to do about her son‘s education: enroll him in a traditional —and regimented— Chinese school or in a pricy international school. As she traces her son‘s education, she also investigates education in China and learns a lot about Chinese culture and customs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Extremely interesting look into the Chinese education system. The author combines the experiences she has with her own children with research and observation in other situations.

I love books about education. This book is so interesting as Chu shares what her son's experience is at a Chinese kindergarten. Definitely a different experience than the American early childhood education I shared about last night on Litsy after reading The Most Important Year.

BookFreakOut I will definitely be looking at this, I thought Battle Hymn of the Tiger Morher was fascinating. 7y
