I expected this to end with a chubby American kid being dropped off at school by a parent to afraid let their kid walk a block.

So we need to fix the road once properly, but nah lets weed out the weak and unlucky from the next generation.

You mean the ones about walking to school uphill both ways in extreme temperatures?

Okay, but have you been on a public school bus in the US?
TheBrightKday
A 125 mile journey to school through that scary ass mountain? Damn nigga, I would rather be illiterate
SauceIsAwesomesauce
or do home school. if parents have time to travel 125 miles with their kids, they have time to teach them.
peachsnapple
You think the parents would go to the trouble of traveling 125 miles if they could teach their kids at home? They're probably illiterate.
SauceIsAwesomesauce
well that stinks then

It's a boarding school, but...still....yeah.

TIL: China manages their school district locations terribly
FionaBlue
As someone who has been to the places mentioned in China, these are not routes to school but a popular tourist location for Westerners.
pfloyd
An expert on education once told me that China has half as many schools as India (China has more students). Access was the priority for (1)
pfloyd
India, while China wanted to improve the quality (2).

TheMonsterWithinYou
Damn, when I was a kid I did just about anything to not go to school. These kids have real reasons to not be able to.
langinator
And that is why America sucks in education
RottenState
When, wether or not your family remains poor, is a motivation - you tend to ignore the obstacles.
TheMonsterWithinYou
My family is poor though. We might not be as poor as them but by American standards. We're broke
Kenziesrus
I completely agree. If my family depended on my success in the future to take care of them, I might care more about school.

Also, saying "rio negro river" is like saying river mississipi river.

Buses are really safe, i was in a bus accident once in Arkansas. We took out a 2 power lines and a drainage ditch before stopping. no injury
MylmgurAccount
Because buses are remarkably safe. They travel at lower average speeds, use compartmentalization, have much more mass, and people

are seated higher up.
