Teaching Packaging in China

The students are used to these conditions, and despite the environment, they are studious and very anxious to learn. They have been taught since a very early age to memorize almost everything; when you consider they have to use a minimum of 2,000 characters in everyday communications, the importance of memorizing is understandable. They are highly respectful of their elders and especially of their teachers. I would try to get them to question everything I taught them but they would not rise to the occasion and debate something with me. They are used to accepting what the teacher says and basically keeping to themselves.
