“If the student doesn’t study hard, in Cambodia he or she can bribe to pass. However, in Hong Kong and the US, if the student does not study, he or she will definitely fail..."
Mao Chansoknea is a 21-year-old graduate of Sonthor Mok high school in Phnom Penh. After graduation, she received a scholarship to the United World College in Hong Kong, which offers a pre-university program to help students prepare for further studies.
She went on to study at St. Lawrence University, in New York, majoring in economics and global studies.
She told VOA Khmer recently that the systems of study in Cambodia, Hong Kong and the US “are totally different.”
“If the student doesn’t study hard, in Cambodia he or she can bribe to pass,” she said. “However, in Hong Kong and the US, if the student does not study, he or she will definitely fail. There is no way to help them pass besides to study hard by themselves.”
In the US, she said, students must read and research. “This work makes them gain knowledge gradually,” she said, “while in Cambodia, students usually sit still, listening to teachers and lecturers, taking notes and not doing much research.”
Mao Chansoknea said she hopes to continue in economics, where she said Cambodia is lacking. More students of economics would be a great benefit to the country, she said.
She encouraged Cambodian students to study hard and commit to broad research.
“If we don’t develop ourselves,” she said, “how can we develop the country?”

Khmericans = Shit the scum of American society, They can't even help Khmer Nation where they were born and how can they help American society! What’s a shameful on khmericans.
Khmericans is the most shameful community in America -> reason why they are just an opportunities people who are not afraid in sell out their Khmer Nation as well as Cambodia and How can American will put trust in these Khmericans in defence democracy and America.
Very shameful Khmericans! over 225 000 but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for Cambodia and Cambodian people justice.
The scum and the most shit cheap community in America is Khmerican. Why? Because over 225 000 Khmericans but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for protest against injustice in Cambodia. 100 Khmericans = less than 0.045% of total Khmericans population in the USA.
If these people who called themself Khmericans can't even stand to protest the injustice in their motherland called Cambodia. How can American people trust these Khmericans in protect America Nation. What’s a joke!
Shame on Khmericans! American people won't trust Khmericans in saying Khmericans will defend America because Khmericans can't even stand to fight the injustice issues in Cambodia. Khmericans in fact are opportunities and selfish community in America. Khmericans are so cheap as they demonstrate last protest 100 Khmericans were turn up out of over 225 000 total Khmericans. Khmericans are scum living beneath AMERICA SOCIETY.
Khmericans have no honour in say they will defence America because Khmericans can't even defend their previous country.
Shame! Shame! On Khmericans, over 225 000. You know you are nothing but scum in American Society.

Hun Sen government they do not intend to do any education reform in Cambodia for our new Khmer generation. Since 1979 because they want to stay under Vietname coontrol for ever. And now Hun Sen and henchman they are so happy with their corruption system in our motherland.

Dear Khmericans,
I am Pi Anh's mother. I want to apologize for my child's erratic behavior. My son is a drug addict and prone to hallucination. His father abandoned him as a child. His life is full of bitter. Please ignore him as he is going through drug withdrawal.

We are in the USA can't do much tohelp the Khmers in Cambodia because the bunch of stupid, paranoia, delusions, and pathetic mind on the government of Cambodia.
