A Condemnation of Canadian Education
I know the Canadian Education system is not terrific is many ways, but is it really this bad? From the Freakonomics blog:
Or is the letter a hoax?
Hello. I am Rohan Patel, I am 10 years old. Your book was amazing! I loved it, but I found one mistake in it. In the chapter “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” it says that changing schools does not have an impact on the child. This is untrue, as i moved from Canada to India. In India the school system is much harder, when I came here I was way behind. I am emailing my friends and they are behind me, what they learn is very different from what I learn. So changing schools makes a huge impact on the child, I myself am an example of this.How many 10-year-olds do you know who can read, much less understand, Freakonomics?
Or is the letter a hoax?
