Most Chinese kindergartens have "Montessori" (Meng Shi Ban) classes, but they are not the same Montessori style as you might expect, but they are more expensive than "normal" (Pu tong ban) classes. Class sizes are normally 20-40 kids with 3 teachers.
As the Montessori system is not compatible with Chinese primary schools these Montessori classes kids normally switch to normal class for their final year.
It seems that the kindergartens with the "better" reputations have the largest class sizes and are the hardest to get into.
Kunming police now permitted to carry sidearms
Posted byGiving guns to Kunming police puts more pressure on them to be professional. For sure a few will get drunk and shoot people in bars etc, but they will lose their jobs and this will improve the level of the Kunming police force. Darwin theory in action?
