Recently, I posted an article stating that many curious, intelligent kids in China are being pushed out of school due to poor grades. This issue arises from the confusion created by teaching Pinyin using Bopomofo initial sounds. This situation mirrors what happens in the Western world, where letters are taught with extraneous sounds, causing many children to disengage from learning to read.
Here is a video to illustrate what I mean by extraneous sounds. [LINK]
These are from a video I watched this morning. LINK
From the video:
At minute 49: Neurodivergent kids describe someone whose brain works differently and not defectively.
At minute 1.14: There are certain areas that neurodiversity will take you to the level of excellence. We need neurodiversity people because they are the original thinkers. They are the individuals who can find answers to what no one else can.
Here are extracts from a video I watched and my comments. LINK
From the video:
Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s the United States has become the only superpower militarily, technologically, and economically until the rise of China.
China’s 2025 strategy includes government support for research and development investment in promoting the development of indigenous Innovation.
I made a few comments on the YouTube video. LINK

This has been my experience since I started writing on social media in 2010. I have learned to copy-paste as soon as I comment before my comments are deleted.
I listened to an interesting Dialogue between Martin Bloomfield and Maggie Chiang, who translated the book The Dyslexic Advantage into Chinese. LINK
Maggie Chiang:
The Chinese language uses pictograms so dyslexia and symbols usually go hand in hand. A lot of the time these individuals might struggle in mathematics, chemistry, physics, or English.
