It is "funny" in a way.

Children in the West are learning how to live and enjoy experience of living. But children in the East are learning western sciences and no longer living as children.

In the long term "learning how to deal with events in life and other beings" may be more important than all sciences and technologies can offer.

We should ask our children (and ourselves --who drive our children to do this): what is the most important thing in life?

We should help our children by "empowering them to master living" not by engaging them to slave for living (in employment). ;-)
