pfft industrial schooling still archaically been used to disrupt parental bonds, in still subservience to authority and prepare people for life in a cell, or a factory line. Graded like apples in a supermarket so companies know which person fits the mould of an obedient little slave to the system. designed for and by giant companies and lobbied government's for a wartime/industrial time era. And you wonder hy your kids are little ignorant shits at home but not at school.

We homeschool our children. A couple years ago we were at a family party. My 10 year old daughter was talking with the adults about what she was learning. My two recently, high school graduated nieces mouths were on the floor and they both said they literally had no idea what my daughter was talking about because it was above their heads. It was a proud moment for my wife and I but a really sad moment for public education. And these girls went to one of the most wealthy high schools in the city. The public education system is pure garbage. Kids were never meant to be locked up in a gilded prison all day. My kids are healthy, advanced, unbelievably well socialized, behaved, and thriving. My wife and I changed jobs and careers in order to make homeschool happen and it is beyond amazing. The resources are endless, and you do NOT have to be wealthy. Get your kids out of the system and give them the best chance and be dedicated to it.
Unfortunately, the America many of us older folks remember and loved, no longer exists. It's been taken over by the leftist socialist/ Marxist ideology. Look where that is taking us. Come soon Jesus!

@nadavtalbi5531 with nations who have zero interest in fighting them except maybe the Russians. There focus is on South China Sea nations which is why they harass them with crappy ships, which is also why why seato exists and the usa has allies in the region.
Not every kindergarten in China does this but certainly the aim is to promote life-skills in the young which is not a bad thing. Meanwhile in the west, we have a whole new generation of young growing up not knowing what gender they are and having hissy fits over being called the wrong pronoun. 🙄
Unfortunately they are not promoting life-skills for the kids’ benefits, but slaves skills for the communist government’s benefits. They prepare the kids for a long life of working in harsh conditions 12-15 hours a day. In our country, on another hand, kids are not taught to do anything useful. Just complain, demand, feel entitled and protest.
That is a minority group’s in the west and it’s the parents job to instill principles and values although I find it disturbing that it exist that is the price of freedom and I support freedom under the constitution whole heartedly. If you just watch videos of the woke insanity then you will believe it’s rampant but I could equally show you youth pursuing high skill blue collar jobs and starting their own businesses. I wouldn’t want my kids taught regimented activities and conformity I just want them educated in basic classes the rest is up to the parents.
Instead of finding fault let's praise this for what it is. There is nothing wrong with learning what your body can do at a young age and having control over it ( versus the obesity and early onset type 2 diabetes that did not exist in america thirty years ago , but is now rampant). this is absolutely amazing and we Americans need to adopt some of this. maybe Ben knows, its not just China-- the whole Japanese nation starts every morning with an 8 minute workout, I forget what it's called, but anybody could find it on the internet. I'm sure it helps build some amount of camaraderie. Anything done together in a group helps build fellowship. I agree with less and less of what Ben says, and already dropped my subscription to DW. maybe hes getting too conservative as he ages. I'm conservative myself, but I think he needs to crack his mind open a bit. When was the last time he changed his opinion on anything? Is he in love with his own intellect? understandable, because it's massive. But he should find that sweet spot btwn vehemently defending his positions but still learning from others.
Didn't exist 30 years ago?! That's one of the most ridiculous comments on RU-vid in the past week. Of course obesity and type 2 diabetes existed, in pretty high numbers 30 years ago.
@@georgepantzikis7988 That existed as well, in significant (trackable, recordable) numbers. No one's saying it isn't a major health issue now, but making things up doesn't help.
Public education has worked out *precisely* as it was always meant to. It is a socialization factory taken from a European model over 100 yrs ago. To indoctrinate & raise children into gov't run socialism, superceding parental influence. Surprise!! 💥 It worked. Funny though, so did the Chinese subversive infiltration. 😔
Far too much so yeah, but certainly not everyone. Just in the hiveminds. And also, in spite of the pronoun garbage here, China is still way worse off (speak of hiveminds). Says something about how bad the rest of their country is. This idea that China is some bastion of conservative ideals is ridiculous.
@@tommygunn3369That doesn’t change the fact that virtually ALL of the young Chinese population are _vastly_ more physically fit, regimented, and patriotic than the young American population. They are absolutely building an army.
Seriously, all cause someone looked up the definition of gender and said “wait a minute… this has some flexibility to it, let me cash in my victim card by saying I go by they/them so I can have an excuse to take my repressed anger out on people and say it’s cause they misgendered me” last I thought, they/them meant multiple people, not their multiple personalities. Blame the parents who lay down in puddles and let their kids walk on their back so their shoes don’t get wet, thats GEN X for ya
And we’ll consistently produce more productive, creative, and intuitive workforce. Some argue you just gotta let kids play free and not this intense bs.
Not sure about the food, but America absolutely dominates in sports. China pays American ball players, better than America sometimes, just to watch them play over there. Because the "lazy out of shape" Americans are THAT good. If the physical activity of kindergarten kids means so much, why does China not dominate a single sport in the world? Not only do they not dominate, but there's barely any representation at all. A couple Chinese basketball players, a few more Chinese baseball players, and a lot less Chinese football players. Both football and futbol. They suck at sports, bro.
I was expecting Ben Shapiro to say something wise, instead of taking a biased approach. This is called structure and discipline. Something american kids lack these days
I have to disagree... you call that eating better? I work in a school in mid south America and our school has very strict guidelines every menu has to follow health dept. standards to be well rounded, nutritious, containing the proper amount of vegetables, fruit, proteins, along with strict guidelines on allergies and special needs diets. We also have one hour mandatory PE, along with weight lifting, a half dozen sports, also students have access to the gym after lunch and after school! So I don't know where you are from, but I'm absolutely sure our girls basketball team would kick China's butt! lol!
@@maninblack9271 I assure you our students have no gender confusion. It's a private christian school and that issue doesnt exist there. As to what advantage we have... for starters we are an average foot taller. Second due to smaller enrollment every student has access to personal tutoring including sports.
@@jimbishop8667 I wrote that what I saw in the video is better than in the US. I'm sure the food is more appealing in South America as well. Calm down. Have you ever seen a US lunch? It's crap. Your school lunches and the ones those kids were eating are better. I wasn't comparing it to South America.
Except the air in China is so polluted from non-regulated manufacturing that people walk around with face masks on. The rain in China is colorful, and the smog is so thick. Many of the "outdoor" spaces are inside and made to look like outside.
These kids are having fun. I was a kid in the 60's. We had monkey bars, merry go rounds, hot metal slides, seesaws, contests to see who could keep a rock from hitting ground the longest by bouncing it with the top of our foot while balancing on the other leg and many other activities that are considered to dangerous now. We had a blast! We were active, strong, healthy, good sports, who were able to laugh at ourselves when we messed up. Kids weren't crying and throwing fits when the other kids laughed. We laughed along with them, sometimes with faces red from embarrassment. Our laughter was heartfelt. Our lives were beautiful. ❤
@@Mike.W.Dasher They are starting to learn all the bad social, communication skills from bad parents and no discipline or structure because the parents or parent doesn't know what that is let alone they don't know how to cook. I always laugh at people when they say I don't know how to cook But they think they can be a parent. I'm not comparing the two duties. But the laziness to learn or cook.
This is fabulous! Those kids have coordination, social skills, they are learning life skills like cooking... our kids are taught to hate their country, hate their parents, hate themselves, how to be racist to cure racism...... and on and on....
It may not help innovation but it does develop skills that a large fighting force needs to be successful (an extreme example of this would be the Spartan regimentation and militarization of its youth).
You do know that they would leave baby boys all by themselves and let them cry and cry until they eventually would stop expecting any love? And that’s just the babies who pass the strength test via wine bath. They’d kill all the no good baby boys. And that’s just a fraction of the child abuse that the Romans enforced on boys. And everything I mentioned was just talking about what they did with the babies
@@forgedglory USA might have a selection of the best fighters - but the 'average' 10 year old Chinese has learned more than the average 20 year old from the USA whether fighter or scholar. Instead of making fun of the bad things they are doing, I would think the USA would want to cherry pick the good things and learn from it.
That could never happen here because people would be screaming that their child was made to do something, accommodations were not made for their special child and I’m not talking about children that actually have legitimate requirements. We would never let children have food at school that was cooked like that, because somebody would scream about food, allergies, food preferences, freak out about germs, etc. somebody else would scream about how it’s child abuse to make your children play it synchronized form we’ve just become too precious and too stupid
It doesn't happen here in China unless the school wants to make a propaganda video to try to attract parents to enroll their kids. It's about schools competing for that tuition money. Don't fall for the proganda.
@@user-sl8tr8qj3k The original commenter made a point of saying: "I’m not talking about children that actually have legitimate requirements." (But thanks for being a perfect example of what this person is talking about.)
Our government needs to step in?? Our government are the REASON why our children are years behind in education and not learning any life skills or useful education. Our government, along with their educational system is nothing but a complete joke and IQ's are at their lowest scores in the last 250 years. 💯
I'm 32. At Keith Elementary and Indian Trails Middle we did workout regimens like this, but without the cooking. Each year we had to do the following: mile run, sit and reach, flexed arm hang, pull ups, shuttle run and other tests to measure agility, stamina, and recovery. Not sure why they stopped those programs. Like someone said below China is building an army while we tell kids gender is a spectrum.
They didn’t stop them at my school. We do these every quarter, but that’s sad that they stopped them bc some kids can’t even run a mile or do 5 sit ups, which is concerning.
Oh, is this a "gotcha" moment? I mean, he's right in the sense that it doesn't help innovative development. It forcibly demonstrates predictable results and lack of individual creativity.
Actually, I'll have to disagree with Ben about connecting their regiment activities with communism.. they are displaying actual life skills, and proper distribution of blood flow throughout the body with their particular exercises. All of us fat Americans have only one movement, it’s shopping and mall. Don’t be jealous of the Chinese kids Ben, they’re just better than yours.
It’s not about innovation but about health. I was born and raised in a communist country and there was a lot of focus on a healthy and active body in young people, not just education. There’s so much sedentary practice in our schools, time to make a change.

Those schools don't let just any kid in. Every child in the village or city is assessed from birth. Most are sent to applied track schools, and the parents have to pay for the schooling. Parents also have to buy the required text books, but the books belong to them, not to the school.
In Canada we had this program called "Participaction" which tried to get kids more active. it eventually ran out of money, but they tried quite hard to get kids to move around. But then again, it was the 70's and 80's and we played outside anyway.
Doesn't result in a nation of innovators, but it does result in a nation of extremely strong and agile and obedient robot warriors. And isn't that what they really want over there?
Standing armies (meaning land based infantry) are fodder in the modern era, nothing more. Plus, they're Chinese, and inherently limited physically. USAF 2W1
I had a Chinese foreign student that told me in one class they had to make a 3D castle. He said it was sad when they put the castles on display. All the Chinese students had the white cookie cutter block built castle. the top of the wall had the classic look of a Rook piece. Every Chinese student made the same castle. The US students used all types of materials and bright colors. He told me that conformity starts in kindergarten. There was no individual expression encouraged. He said it just never occurred to the students to be creative. He will never forget the visual contrast.
Tell your 5 year old to draw a house: note square building, triangle roof, rectangle door, square windows. Luckily some of us get past this; not me-I still draw a house like this 😂
That fine line between innovation and being performance efficient is hard to balance. All I can say is while you want to encourage some kids to be innovators the rest have to conform and perform. Society needs both to function correctly and either extremes will lead to what we see today. US all ideas but need to source their production outwards as their population just do not have the skill sets or will to make things happen. China on the other hand is not innovation and only steal ideas that often leads to crappy products because they can copy but not understand what makes that copy good.
In the US, we make them sit for most of the time and be active very little, we got it Ass backwards, we forget how important being physical is for a child’s development, and even in adults, small frequent breaks for exercise and/or fun in between work raises productivity
I doubt that’s what every kid is doing in China. Don’t believe the propaganda people. But if you did wish your child was like this then take away their iPad for once and raise them better.
A family can build an identity and their own skill sets outside of the school system if they were motivated to do so. It just depends on the family values after school and on the weekends
yeah this is some ccp propaganda for sure. they have this one video of what's probably the best kindergarten in Beijing. What they aren't showing are the daily knife attacks that happen all across China where these kids are maimed or worse.
@@jordonm5675To an extent yes. However most children in the US are in school more than they are with their families. Now more than ever parents have to work longer hours to be able to keep a roof over their heads. What you’re taught in school plays a MAJOR factor in the type of person you’ll become.
Fortunate for my children, they were not subjected to social media and soul sucking ideology. My children played outside, rode their bikes, skied, went ice-skating, tubing, gymnastics, sports, karate, choir and piano classes. They were not forced into any of these extra curricular activities. They just wanted to try them out. There was time for homework time for dance classes time for a good nights sleep time for education and time just to relax and read a good book if they felt like it. They also learned through trial and . We went camping in the summertime, did some parks and recreational classes when school was over. My children were allowed to make their own choices of what they wanted to do within our financial realm. They’re grown up with children of their own, homes of their own, hard-working citizens with good moral standings and attitudes. I raised them to volunteer their time for the needy by mimicking and watching their mom volunteer her time and by bringing them along to assist in helping others. I was born in an era where children were seen and not heard. I Learned from the mistakes of my parents made not to do the things that do not work with children. Subsequently, raising strong, acceptable, approachable, and nurturing young adults. They learned mostly through play and discovering new things. Education then was quite the norm you had time for school, time for play as well as chores, working part time and you had time for going on school field trips. It is a shame what the world has become now and yes I worked! I chose a lot of part-time positions so I could be with my children and enjoy being with them . However, now the world is in shambles.😢 * this comment was made by voice over.
kids in China are engaged, active, coordinated, respectful and smart since kindergarden. I don't see anything wrong with that. Many people may think it is abusive or that kids don't have childhood, but look how happy they are? They get to engage with their peers, socialize, stay fit and also develop skills they can use later in life. China is building an army you'd say, but imo China is building a generation of useful and smart people. Since China has large population, every child must compete for a place in society, since they don't cuddle every child til they are 18. They are building strong and independent individuals, capable to go to future and through life and pass on the same knowledge to their kids.
This is a dumb take.. Chinese society is becoming a lot richer than ours. We have to stop thinking we’re the best because the rest of the world is passing us up on quality of life, wages, food prices, and social services. Americans work long hours for pennies on the dollar , with for many people 0 benefits
@@user-lt1jd1ye3v have you actually checked on their financial situation lately? They're dealing with a housing bubble that makes 2008 look quaint and there have even been protests over how screwed over the young generation feels. Protests, in a dictatorship. This was intended as a joke but what was just stated is, sadly, true. Add their population inversion into the mix and China is headed for rough financial waters.
Most likely this is a school specifically for coordinated dance or Olympics. China likes putting on large displays and they start training kids young and hard. But not every kindergarten is like this. Kind of an elite program which is their job.
When l see this I'm reminded of the Japanese kamikaze pilots. They are training them to be fanatics and as another has commented on the West is tearing itself apart with gender bullshit lies and carbon nuetral impossible targets causing massive economic hardship. As they say go woke go broke

@@MKu64kids are not getting taught that shit despite what the news makes you think. Kindergarten education hasn’t changed much at all. Don’t fall into the media bias.
In a couple years these same kids will be doing choreographed dances in gym class. These schools try to make PE fun & interesting which makes children want to participate. Here in the US PE is all but obsolete.
Actually, you are not wrong. There are kindergartens in China and else where in East asia that caters to incoming students of sports schools. Yes, sports school is a thing in East Asia.
I can’t say I approve of this approach totally but it’s much better than what American schools are. I would lean to their approach. Of course I remove my children from the government schools so I could school them as I saw fit. They weren’t gonna grow up like the misfits in the government schools..
Yep. The psychological messaging in all that is: "just fit in, do as you're told or the same as everyone else." Creates a lot of mindless drones but no creativity or innovation.
It's funny how people watch a kindergarten class at recess and suddenly are experts on Chinese society. We criticize them, but our education system is a joke, our kids are obese and often lazy, and we end up with pro terrorist sympathizers. There has to be a balance of physical and mental, freedom and self discipline. We've lost our way, and the kids suffer.
Nobody is watching this and criticizing the Chinese. These videos clearly show how behind our kids are. They are building an army over there while our society is arguing over gender identity.
Although I will say … it’s refreshing to see kids allowed to take physical risks. My child’s school removed the swing set because ONE child got hurt. I moved her to another school.
this is not the norm. This is one specialty school that most likely takes only advanced kids. That’s why they’re able to use different parts of their brain like spatial reasoning and kinesthetics to develop skillsets outside of the norm for that age range. it’s impressive the kids can do this but the comments are turning a single school in a random part of the globe into a political debate of US vs Asia and woke vs conservative.
Um... if theyre glued to their screens, then wouldnt it actually be easy to make them watch this? Ffs its only a 60 second clip. Kids in the US love short form content [which is rotting their brains], so this would actually be perfect for them. I doubt they would get anything out of it though or put it into practice in the real world. But your comment literally makes no sense 😂
Yep and our children get that structure by spending their entire youth watching TV and playing video games. Those poor bastard Chinese children all they know is that they are playing outside with human friends, eating homemade food and learning to get along with peers. None of this carrying guns to school bullshit for them. Those children don’t know what they are missing. Poor bastards.
I observed an elementary school as part of an exchange teacher program in 2015. During recess they had 100s of kids standing in straight lines juggling soccer balls in unison. It was impressive, but I agree that creativity is not fostered where divergent thinking is not valued.
Especially when half of the boys at that age here think they're girls, and couldn't catch a ball if their life depended on it. I think this is an incredible start to education.
This is not every school by a long shot. But kids are indeed taught in schools. Reading, writing, maths etc. and they do have physical education and music and gifted classes. All the things that used to make the US education decent. It’s a shame what we teach, and fail to teach, our children now.
I have to say if I was working in childcare in china how much fun would it be. Just watching them is amusement enough. How fit are these kids. Plus eating from the same food bowl builds up their immune systems. All I am seeing is positives here. 😊 We should bring this to Australia.
@@netta96Pretty sure that was a joke, but Covid did start in China. China has a reputation with its neighboring countries for downplaying viral outbreaks.
This levels of coordination takes hours and days of drilling, not something to encourage. These types of schools are pretty intense. However lots of active play, some drills, involving kids in food prep, are things more schools should implement. Eating from the same bowl...eh. There's a balance to strike.
Sharing a food bowl is how kids get mononucleosis and colds. Then their parents get sick and have to miss work or go to work and spread it to coworkers.
I think it's awesome. They are having fun, staying healthy and fit, learning dicipline and taking care of eachother (the food thing) Probably also learn about healthy food as a bonus.
@@abcdefg-oj5wn sure, straw man. If that's as far as your focus goes. I said put through the paces. Show me kids who go through this WHOLE regimen every day, and with such demand for perfection.

..... while children in North America are let loose acting like wild animals without any discipline, direction and believe they can be whatever they want. They can be the opposite sex and have the right to self mutilate their body to become that opposite sex as a child, not having to wait to become an adult. Irreversible damage is done physically, mentally, and emotionally. Which is worse? North American or China?
I went to a track meet in Canada, and these kindergartens would beat grade 4's. Most of our children are extremely obese and can't run 100m. Little girls were crying..... How is this a bad thing? Those children aren't sitting on a phone, or learning gender theory. They're getting physical activity. That's what they should be doing.
