Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

译文：我们能否从中美两个极端中寻求一种更好的教育方式，它或许能在创造力与基本技能这两极之间获得某种较好的平衡？

1. 请问老师，from the Chinese and American extremes 既使插入语，另一个角度来讲也是方面状语吗?

如果它是插入语，去掉之后句子Can we gather a superior way to approach … … basic skills?

句意不是就不完整了吗？

2. 现在分词短语perhaps striking… skills作结果状语，修饰谓语gather？请老师帮我确认一下，非常感谢！
