But couldn't her success be because you've gotten her used to dealing with the way Western education systems work?

I remember wanting to learn everything when I was younger, but was frustrated by teachers' attempts to 'make us think' about things, asking the class questions (most of which I knew the answer to already), and requiring tons of 'coursework'.
