When it comes to education:

Foreign languages

In most countries they make a real effort for their students to learn a foreign language, usually English. Here we give kids a couple hours a week and call it a day.

3 years of French for me in HS and college. First time in Paris, I told the cab driver the address. He put the car in park, turned around in the seat and said in English "Never speak French again. Your accent is terrible." I can't help it, this Ellie Mae comes out no matter what, lol.

Because of that, I started paying a Mandarin Tutor for my son at 5 years old. At 21, he can speak, read and write pretty well to have conversations with his friends from Beijing.
