[QUOTE=Jakobi;40512209]I just studied for 20 hours straight for multiple finals, and I know for sure I am not going to get the grades I am going for on any of them.

Maybe cramming for 20 straight hours is not a good way to study? Sleep deprivation is a good way to absolutely fuck over your decision making skills and to make dumb mistakes that will be embarrassing as hell later on.
Honestly, I think the vast majority of people such as yourself who talk about how much they study or how hard they work are misguided. You may be hard working, provided that those straight 20 hours were actually productive studying, but if you know you aren't going to get the scores you want, then maybe you should try something else other than exhausting yourself with cramming.

Pretty sure most of that was a Japanese stereotype.

Asian society is extremely work-centric, the pressure on students is enormous, more so than any westerner might ever experience.
This is sad. I understand them so well. Not because of the homework but more of the situation they were in.
being in all honestly.. this is me with algebra in college..
As an engineering student, I can relate.
Just to give some perspective, 1st graders (no, not high school, elementary school) have school from 8:00 - 16:00. They get home and work with homework which can last up till 20:00 which is also when they are going to bed.
I have nieces and nephews there and it sickens me knowing that this is what society demands from them. Be number one, or nothing, that's the Chinese mentality.

Sounds like me when I was in China many years back. I probably did more homework during elementary school than I'm doing in college now, although it was much easier back then. (Engineering student here)

It's inhumane, imo. Pressure is good, but it's clear that when schoolchildren are offing themselves over homework and factories are putting up nets to catch jumpers, there's a serious problem with how things are managed.
At this point it doesn't surprise me.
My teacher asked the class "From 1 to 10, 1 being not bad at all and 10 being the worst ever, how would you rate failing a test"
Most of the class had either 8 or 9 on that scale, some even selected 10.
Then they were asked "How would you rate the death of a family member or friend?" and almost everyone selected a 10.
So, if failing a test in Western culture is so close tragedy-wise to a family member or a friend dying, what would it be like for those in Asian cultures to not complete a homework assignment?
I'm not trying to play into stereo types but generally, Asian students are much more concerned for their grades be it pressure from parents or other things.
It's just sad that grades are so close to a real tragedy these days.
Just yesterday I went to Honors Night for my sister's high school. About half of the honor students were East Asian. This is in Georgia, the deep south of America.
Also, more than half were female.
Oh and when I was little, my mum used to beat me because I didn't get like 95 or above for my chinese
And then she talk about how her friends kids all get good grades.
I got like 70s-80s
Their eyes must of been squinting so hard they managed to find their way to the roof and fell off.

it's sudoku you ignorant idiot, get it right
What is all this education good for when it destroys creativity which is a major factor in innovation? And don't dumb me down for this, but all the chinese can do is copy copy copy. And if they can't copy something, they buy the knowledge in form of foreign engineers.

They want 'innovation' "innovation" not actual innovation. The innovation they are looking for is the conformist "pump out identical shit and compete for the fuck of it" kind found throughout the "business" world.
Go forth and produce replicant bullshit my children!
They want obedient workers who will not question authority, not creativity.
This is one case in China. Check out the suicide rate across the yellow sea in South Korea.
[QUOTE=Negrul1;40512197]Maybe not this piece of homework, but I imagine the immense pressure school pupils can be put under, especially in countries like China, was probably a pretty major factor.[/QUOTE]
My friend from China said that he used to cry himself to sleep everyday because he would go to school for most the day, work his hardest, come home, eat, work his hardest on his homework, and by the time he was done it was time for sleep. He also said that during exam season there are always news stories on children killing themselves

What you mean? That there are not more cases in China? Because there are not more reports? From the country that controls its media?

Be number 1, then flourish for your government in your prime then get completely thrown back into poverty as you come of age.
Fuck china.

[QUOTE=SSJInferno;40512723]Just how?
Seriously, killing yourself over unfinished homework just boggles the mind to be honest :S[/QUOTE]
hi i don't understand how depression and suicide works
When the only purpose of productivity is to perpetuate a soulless machine of perfection, it loses any sort of purpose that it may have had to begin with.
Putting such enormous amounts of pressure on social success is not only psychotically delusional, but also self defeating. What is the point of being successful in a society that is focused on nothing else?
To a pretty large degree, I am willing to bet a pretty large percentage of Chinese people are probably asking these questions, but cannot escape from the endless cycle.
This does not nearly apply to China only by the way, it is a pretty enormous problem in the modern world overall.
I wish people would realize school isn't everything.
If you find yourself stressing out over homework or grades or whatever, just realize it's not worth it. What are you trying to acheive?
