        Culture not books leads to overall improvement Books can facilitate but cannot substitute substantive cultural change

        It's more about the Shanghai & Singapore schools of math edu than the "Chinese" one, & Chinese edu did influence the West in the longer past

        I know. What I mean is that those methods were developed locally, in these 2 specific cities. Don't know how widely 1 of the 2 is applied

        Also, can be taken into account the fact that while Shanghai is part of China, they don't speak Mandarin by default, but Shanghainese

        I did well in Maths using quality Australian textbooks. Then education was hijacked by dickheads and textbooks were replaced with 🐮💩.
