Interesting page in an interesting article. Though I'm sure this isn't the best source for this info, it does put it in a good perspective with re: primary and secondary education. I find it rather hard to grasph the concepts of collectivism, coming from a very individualistic background, but I think I'm getting better at appreciating the good things it has to offer. Understanding the differences are essential for cultural understanding and respect. Billions of people can't be "wrong," one way or the other. Every system has its merits and flaws, and I know that we too often discount things we're not familiar with.
