The article I picked was the Honorable Mention for April 2007 titled "Hating High School Vacations".
The article talks a lot about how hard children in other countries are working in the classroom everyday. The parents want their children to excel at an extremely high level and are going to extreme lengths to make that happen. For example some are even required to study 8 hours a day durning vacations! Every child's numver one priority is books and studying.
The article also discussed it's concern for America and their academic process. The US did what it needed to do in the past to make sure students are excelling at the level they need to. Now though, it is not the case as much. Our country today has
far more distractions and reasons to keep kids away from books and classrooms. This is causing America to lag far behind the other countries in academics and may greatly hurt us in the future.
