This is an extremely shallow work on education. All they know about Chinese-style education is "note-taking and repetition", "copy notes". Really? Do you really believe this is how Chinese students can be best at PISA assessment? Was PISA assessment designed based on Chinese students' notes?

Chinese/Asian students do work harder than western students, on average. But hard-working is not rote learning, nor does this mean rote learning is everything about "Chinese-style education". Equalizing Asian education to rote learning is a misconception has been denied by tons of studies. See examples:

Just search "rote learning asian" in google scholar, you will see.

The "experiment" / report superficially based on this stereotype won't produce much meaningful results.
