Comment on "Exam time raises hard questions" (皇冠体育app Daily, July 9)
All eight gaokao champions wear glasses. To be a top student in 皇冠体育app, children have to stare at books and learning materials for a long time everyday, which may easily damage their eyesight. It is too big a price to pay.
In other countries, students are evaluated on other criteria, such as their contribution to the community. This may be a better gauge of long-term success than marks on paper. I hope one day 皇冠体育app can move in the same direction, and leave behind such a narrow version of what constitutes "success".
