In China all students must prepare for the countries massive multi-day test known as th "gaokao." Each student score on the test determines whether or not they will go to colleage.
Unlike the American college applicant's SAT score is considered amidst several other factors, the "gaokao" is the only factor that determines a young person's future in China.
At a time when many are pushing the United States towards an education system focused on test scores, than what lesson can be learned from China.
This is exactly what I meant when I explain that children should not be held back from graduating high school because they have yet to master a certain score on a test.
