blind worship of system and rigid expectations etc if you are studying 16 hours a day in hs then i expect grad level work once you go into college. | ||

Getting in university now a day is a must or else you will have no chance getting a well paid job in asia. edit: tbh you think passing SAT is hard? any middle level student in asia with well learned English can topped out SAT easily. For me i didnt need to take the SAT since im in canada but i did took an AP math course and got an AP credit by the exam. All i did in grade 12th in canada is play dota/watch BW 8 hours a day. I didnt do any homework unless they affect my grades. I passed my AP math course with 98 avg and a total of 80+ avg on my last semester in canadian high school. All i know is dota dota BW BW. | ||

I've never considered collarbones when evaluating someone's beauty/handsomeness. Can someone explain this? I read on reddit they call Hannah Choi the interviewer/translator for GSL "Marauder Woman" because of her wider than average shoulders. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/U5wgM.jpg) Source It seems in Korea shit like that really matters. This doc has me really interested. I hope more Koreans will chime in here in the mean time about why this is such a popular attitude in Korea | ||

Besides that, there is also the suicide rate in Korea and other countries since there is so much pressure on the students that they would rather die. It is due to different reasons like whether or not they think they can succeed, don't want to embarrass their family, etc. I really hope this change in any country that practices this. | ||

There is nothing wrong in wanting to be an educated person and striving to be successful in the future, but the amount of hours that goes into it is crazy. 16 hours is way too much and it does not help all students. I know for sure that it would do more harm than good if I study for about 16 hours. The longest I have every studied ranged from about 5 - 8 hours depending on the course.

so in the end the score probably is okay. but seriously even the sat is so easy that you shouldn't need to study for it. | ||

Interesting concept, but there is no way you can represent all of the schools obviously because it would take too much time. Interesting though. But yeah have fun going to jail. User was warned for this post | ||

So it really surprises me that in Korea, one exam means everything. I think that's kind of dumb... one bad day, and you're screwed. | ||

Coincidentally, I just watched a BBC documentary series today about schools in China. It was surprisingly enjoyable! I'm not from China but being an Asian, I can definitely relate to the exam stress that these kids feel. College in America (where I am now) seems so much more relaxed in comparison. Here's the link to the documentary on Youtube. I highly recommend it. BBC - Chinese Schools | ||
