Chinese Educators Look to American Classrooms
The New York TimesBEIJING — To prepare for an endless barrage of secondary-school exams, Zhang Ruifan learned to memorize entire science textbooks.

“I’d just blurt it out,” he said in an interview while back home here this summer.
But Ruifan, 15, who goes by Derek in the United States, soon discovered that science was more than just facts and formulas meant to be regurgitated on tests.
