British kids should learn discipline and respect from their Chinese counterparts. We hear so much about the UK's teenage drinking problems and teenage pregnancies. Maybe this experiment might do some good. The intelligent kids won't need this while the delinquents on the other hand have to understand school is for study. Just going through this process might be good for them. It is after all a social experiment, having guest teachers and students going through a culture shock unless of course you want be reintroduce national service.
