I'm the laziest of the Chinese students; I have zero work ethic, I only do assignments that are graded. Yet being so damn lazy, I still pull a 83 average; I'm usually the average or just above in my classes. I'm going to UofT next year. So what's your excuse? | ||

You sound like me, lazy as hell and study probably 2 hours max per exam and do only assignments that are graded and attend class only when its mandatory/participation needed. My average ranges B+ to A+ range usually. People complain how they study for hours each day just to get a B, but I know how they study, facebook every 5 minutes. | ||

High school is a joke you can talk yourself through if you have the skills. | ||

People try to blame race but has shown that again and again when people are educated effectively with the same resources and opportunity that they will be similar intelligence regardless of their ethnic background. | ||

So there really is no excuse for these people complaining about being unable to go to university or to the good universities because they're (the university) "Asian" now is there? | ||

The educated people are all leaving the third world and developing countries because they don't want to martyr their career so that others can prosper in the future when 1st world countries provide them with jobs. If all the educated people leave the IQ will drop. How can you say labor exploitation isn't? Poor people can't afford to establish schools and educate their young or even themselves like the wealthy can. Poor nations will always have lower IQs. | ||

People are just so fucking stupid...and so fucking lazy.... Oh well. To end, no school is too "Asian". The problem lies in the people that believe learning isn't as important as anything else on the planet. | ||

Sure, there are a lot of sheltered, study-hard people, but there are a fair amount of people with more varied hobbies. It wasn't a very different culture at all. Nor were the ones who tried to study all the time better at school or life. Agreed. It's not that asians have "no life" and study the whole day. We balance work and play such that they don't get in each others' ways, to live a well rounded life. Also, if there are 20 other people eyeing your spot in university or class, you'd feel pretty pressured to do well too. | ||

I'm not sure either way but the systematic removal of skilled laborers from a country over time surely could effect the average "IQ" of an area couldn't it? What would have happened to India if so many of their educated didn't leave but instead stayed? Like, I said I'm not sure but I can't imagine that there is no possibility that they could relate. | ||
