I think that the Asian teaching way was very clever. It motivates students to learn so they won't go up to the board, and it also helps them correct themselves.
        One of the things that surprised me was the main thing: the student who couldn't do well had to go to on the board. The teacher kept on asking the other students if it was right or not. Basically, all the teacher did was ask the students. On the other hand, the student did it by himself. He was thinking about what was wrong with it, and was determined to make the others say yes.
         I think this applies to the class because it shows how other people around the world are taught. It makes us students think, "Hmm..why did they do that? What was the purpose?" I also think that the reason Mr. Kimbley had us read it was to realize that  not all people were taught the same way. Some were taught the easy way, and some are taught the hard way. Sometimes, the hard way is what we learn from the most. Most people ignore the easy way, because they think "Pfft! This is easy! I'll remember this!" but when a test comes, the hard way starts to come. Soon you fail your test, which is the hard way. 
           This article taught me that people have different ways of teachings. Not all teachings are the same, and people around the world aren't taught the same way. So don't call someone stupid, or other names that says they're dumb, because it's just the way their taught. If they can't do it, then help them.
