Editor's note: Half of British primary schools will adopt the traditional Chinese method of math teaching in a government drive to stop youngsters falling behind their Asian counterparts. They will ditch 'child-centered' style and instead return to repetition, drills and 'chalk and talk' whole-class learning. Can Shanghai method help British kids learn math? China Daily readers share with us their opinions.

I do agree that Chinese students do rather well in math. But this method of teaching doesn't make them mathematics pioneers, but exam-passing machines.
