I'm a senior philosophy major at Haverford College. I was born and raised in China. The Chinese education system that I was in taught me many things but prepared me very poorly for my coming to the States 9 years ago. At first, I struggled tremendously with the English alphabet and then with all its other idiosyncracies. I often go back to my experience as an ESL student to reflect on what works and what doesn't work in an education system.

My inclination, and thus my contribution to the class, would be a philosophical curiosity for the root of the problem. I'm hoping to learn from my classmates some concrete groundings to my thoughts.
