I’ve lived in China, and administering Intravenous Solutions are very common. Its very common that parents will request them for children with the flu or for any malady where people question hydration or nutrition. Its a cultural thing - people seem to expect IV’s as a kind of very “basic” treatment that any doctor should prescribe, and hospitals and clinics don’t argue because its probably a simple, but large, revenue earner.

In my last year of college I got “hooked to” dried figs. Really! I thought, if the brain needs glucose, I will give it glucose. Dried figs have lots of fructose, that the body turns into glucose, but no fat, caffeine... Did it work? You decide: I got straight A’s and twenty something pounds of unwanted weight right before the summer. LOL

When I was studying, I just drank can upon can of Mountain Dew and Jolt Cola. Tastier than an IV drip.

And our oversexed, facebook focused, texting addicted, entitlement minded teens are going to compete with kids that driven to compete? Imagine what they could achieve if the Chinese goverment ever backed off on the central planning.

There was a BBC documentary I watched on YouTube about those exams.

The ChiComs dont mess around with this. Your whole future comes down to your score on those things. Where you go to college, where you will work, and how poor you will or wont be.

It’s like whole parts of the country come to a complete stop when this test is taken and top performers are treated like local heroes.

I’m not shocked that this is what some kids are enduring in order to not fail.

Hey, if the drips know the subject matter, why not get in touch with them?
