Education misunderstood

Many parents have sent their children, who will take the national college entrance exam in June, to attend supplementary classes during the Spring Festival holiday. But there is no guarantee that this will help the students perform better, says an article in Beijing News. Excerpts:

Since only four months are left before the national college entrance exam, it is normal for students to study even harder to succeed. Hence, their parents force them to attend extra classes. But such classes only put greater pressure on the students.
