  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is roundtable.

  • Hello everybody, welcome to Roundtable.

  • Good as always to have you join us on today's show.

  • Parents are now stepping into classrooms at some elementary school campuses in Beijing and Shanghai as part of a new cooperative education model.

  • While this aims to foster stronger bonds between home, school and possibly community, it raises questions.

  • Could this kind of parental involvement transform education for the better?

  • Is it fair to expect such high level of involvement from busy parents?

  • And we're on a mission of starting your week with motivational kick.

  • Our motivational Monday offerings will get you ready to tackle the week.

  • For today's program, I'm joined by Li Yi and Brandon Yates in the Stitch studio.

  • First on today's show, what if schools, families and communities work together seamlessly to educate children?

  • That's the ambitious goal of the new education model at Beijing number two experimental elementary school where parents are actively participating in school life.

  • From guiding study tours to leading discussions on civic responsibilities, this cooperative approach integrates various societal resources into the educational process.

  • Liyi, could you give us the thumbnail on what exactly is going on in this school?

  • Sure.

  • As you said, this Beijing number two experimental primary school has been working to make the school more open to parents by keeping them more involved in the classroom.

  • I mean daily courses and also various activities inside the campus.
