She points out that over the past 20 years we have seen time and again the ill effects of overemphasizing rote memorization at Taiwan's junior high schools. The exams have ended up determining the curriculum. Anything that wasn't going to be tested simply wasn't taught. It has been very confining for teachers, and the poor students, who became test-taking machines, have been even more deserving of our pity.
她指出，這二十年來，我們不斷看到國中教育偏重智育的後遺症，考試領導教學，聯考不考的就不教，老師的教學空間變得很小；學生更可憐，變成考試機器。
