Because they're basically robots.

Canadian here. We smoke too much weed.

>>40787085
i was going to say the same fucking thing

because any other down time they have, they fucking study

because teetha

>>40787085
That and America schools blow.

Most of the girls are ugly.

Because our education system is as effective as a third world country?

>>40787085
that's literally how I see asian people. sorry gooks, you just all look like a copy of the same person to me

Because they care about doing well.

Alchohol and Drugs?
In my Japan?
I don't think so

Because they don't date, the sacrifice women for the vidya.

Because they have parents that care

I dunno. Anime likes to portray otaku as the bottom of the chopping block in japan. Bad grades, unattractive, freaks, etc. Just like here.

AMERICAN KIDS DONT GIVE A FUCK

All those "suicides" are actually the government murdering kids who don't do well in order to only have smart Japanese genes passed on to the next generation. The kids know this and study hard so they don't get thrown in a river.

Not all Japanese kids are obsessed with video games and anime, the ones that are get poor grades just like Americans who obsess over games and anime.

Haven't we been over this? The answers are usually:

a) They're extremely pressured to get the grades by parents and society?

b) >>40787085

c) No they don't, it's a stereotype.

>implying all kids in Japan are obsessed with video games and anime

>>40787055
actually most of them aren't, they are pushed by their parents to be succesful or kill themselves

Because because

because it's america

Because their parents beat them for failure unlike pusy American parents that have been guilted by liberal women. Though Japan also has much higher suicide rates for it so it's all good.

I just had a realization

Japanese kids are obsessed with anime and video games, they do well in school

People that come to 4chan, specifically /v/, are obsessed with, at the very minimum, video games

I one could agree that the average 4chan user is above average intelligence

video games=better in school?

Because they don't, OP? Seriously, read some recent essays about Japan's current education system and despair.

>>40787171

Normally everything a filthy fucking tripfaggot says is just shit being drooled out of his mouth but i'm going to have to agree with this one here.

Because in Japan it's actually cool to have good grades. If you fail anything there you're pretty much a complete loser.

Because if they fail out or don't graduate they have to kill themselves, its like a law over there or something.

Have considered that maybe their schools are easier?

I mean why do they all come to the US for college?

because they have longer school hours and less weekends. Their lives literally revolve around their education.

American kids think the world revolves around them.

It's not Japanese KIDS, it's Japanese ADULTS that are into this shit. Think about that.

>>40787284

>I one could agree that the average 4chan user is above average intelligence

I had three Japanese exchange students during high school. All of them knew of video games, but none of them played them regularly. This is a stupid stereotype.

The kids that obsess over videogames and anime in Japan are losers just like we are.

North American school systems are balls, not sure about over there or in europe but for us most classes were repeats of stuff we knew after middle school and anybody who doesn't care about what college they get into would rather go through with C's and minimal effort then bother learning bullshit that won't even help in Uni let alone working life

Silly anon, asians aren't actual humans.

>>40787284
>I one could agree that the average 4chan user is above average intelligence
I hope when you say 4chan, you exclude /b/, /r9k/, and /a/.

>>40787379

I was looking for that.

They ARN'T obsessed with anime and video games, that's why.

>>40787284
I started to do shit due to 4chan. Fuck you nigger, now I'm in the military.

THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT POSTS THAT 20% OF ALL OUR TAXES GO TOWARDS THE MILITARY (BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY OVERDRAW)

THE JAPANESE HAVE NO MILITARY


THINK ABOUT IT

>>40787355

I fell for it.

SO ARE YA CHINESE OR JAPANESE?

>>40787055

Those chinks get beat by their parents if they bring home a 99.

I know by experience.

>>40787513
But they are

>>40787215
wat? I don't believe you. Sauce now.

>>40787171
I agree. Therefore, I'm not adding you to my filter

>>40787284

enough vidya to not be a tightwad, but not too much so that you ignore shit you need to do.

Sorry to generalize, but the "asian way" is great for doing good at school. Memorize book advicedog.jpg Ace all your tests

I enjoyed watching them squirm on application though.

Probably because they respect their parents and elders and therefore have more values and work ethic. Here in America it's just YO NYUGGA U GOT DA NEW PAIR AH JORDANZ?

>implying Japanese students don't have a relatively high suicide rate, thereby negating their good grades

>>40787774

>YO NYUGGA U GOT DA NEW PAIR AH JORDANZ?

Describing your own race?

>>40787774
lol this kid gave himself a name on an anonymous website.

>>40787774
Yeah but their "respect" is aactually brainwash bullshit. I've lived in japan all my teenage years because my dad was in the navy and went to a Japanese school for a field trip. Jesus Christ I'm glad I'm an American

>>40787248
This woman is beautiful.

didn't get into a good middle school
kill self
take cram school and go to school for 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, spend 6 sleeping, and the other 6 studying while outside school.
didn't get into a good university
kill self

These nips take their education very seriously. Meanwhile in america the ACT average is 20 and most kids don't even take the SAT.

>implying standardized tests and the grading system genuinely help kids at all to begin with and aren't just a conveyor belt method of putting emphasis on following the "rules" and doing what your superior says at a young age

When I was in High School, I was randomly selected along with 1/4 of my fellow classmates to take one of those tests that supposedly assesses how well our school system is working.

The tests took half a day, every day for a whole week, and caused me to miss half my classes, meaning I had a ton of make up work to do. I was so annoyed with the whole thing, I just randomly filled in circles on the answer sheet so I could be done sooner, and take a nap, seeing as how the test, in no way, affected my grades. All of my friends did the same thing.

Pretty sure I made my school look like crap.

>>40787984

Also, dead.

>>40787774
>Probably because they respect their parents and elders and therefore have more values and work ethic
Because if they don't they will get beaten within an inch of their life.

It would have been cool

>I hate america
>all my friends are Asians except me the only baka gaijin
>Anime rocks
Get out

>>40787998

The SAT is way easier than the ACT too, from my experience. Too much mathematical emphasis on the latter.

The whole stereotype of all Japanese do is play video games and watch anime is stupid. Most Japanese kids dont play video games that often and watching anime is equivalent to watching cartoons here.
I'm Japanese and I'm only really good at fighters. Also, the whole good grade thing is because you want to make your parent proud of you.

>>40788025
I'm black. I've gotten beaten that bad by my parents you have to wonder why I'm not ripped.

>>40787171
>implying Japanese girls are ugly
The fuck are you doing on 4chan?

1. Japan has better teachers
2. The culture puts more of an emphasis on school and education
3. Japanese children are more disciplined
4. Different priorities
5. Different school format
Lots of different factors. Anyone who thinks that the vidya is the reason that American kids are retarded is a retard themselves.

>>40788095
GET OUT NIGGER

>>40787984

>This woman is beautiful.

It's Audrey Hepburn bro, of course she's beautiful.

>>40787980

Better they actually respect their parents instead of constantly causing problems for them & fighting with them. Would you want your kid acting like you're his/her ATM machine or what?

Why? Probably because the Japanese game market is different. Text based adventures and certain RPGs do better over there then over here (Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, etc).

Plus, Japanese are more demanding then the public school system in america. To get anywhere, you have to do well and not fuck up. Here? They hire goddamn coaches to do science and geography for christ sakes.

Plus, the population is lower then the US, so they have more money per school to do stuff in america. Here? They need to get kids out ASAP to make room for new ones.

>>40788194

Also, still dead.

>>40788179
Japanese schools has no air conditioning except in the teacher's lounge

Fuck whatever reason you might think it may be but it boils down to this. USA's Honor students are just as good as any Japanese Honor student.

But they look better then the USA because the USA teaches every little fuck they can. Japan only takes the best of the best and schools them.

Teaching every kid you can is going to make your scores looks like shit compared to places that only teach the kids who will do good in school.

>>40788179
>5. Different school format
Seriously. School 6 days a week and school takes up like 2/3 of the goddamn day. I'd commit suicide if I had to go through that for years.

It's hard enough doing it for a month.

>>40788095

>I've gotten beaten that bad by my parents you have to wonder why I'm not ripped.

And another piece of the puzzle falls into its place.

>>40787998

you could have said that years ago before 4chan blew up in to LULZSORANDUMZ ANON IZ LEGUNS. not any more thou.

also in america we are more worried about hurting someones feelings then giving our kids a education.
so we lower the standards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxnxsqUjNwk
i know its that faggot carlos mancia but thats how the school system is now. well atleast out here in CA.

also the schools get funding based on how many people get passing grades. so what do the teachers unions do? they make it so 60% of your grade is based off your attendance.

>>40788372
By worst you mean the most sensible? Yes. He's not talking about your stupid primary/highschool education dipshit.

>>40788469

American culture puts emphasis on individuality and independence. Japanese culture puts emphasis on ancestry, authority, respecting your elders, and being better than races they see as inferior.

God damn, really? I've been told the climate of Japan is a bit like North Carolina's. I can't imagine no AC during the warmer months.

Japan is not a toy store.

>>40788672
My jap friend said that when he's there during the summer, it gets to levels where it can really kill. And it happens every year. You have to wonder the hell they go through during school.

>>40788641
Yet another reason these backwards faggots need to be nuked again.

>>40787055
American school structure sucks. Kids aren't given long enough instruction. Teachers are mostly sub-par and only teaching for the tax write-offs and/or tenure. Schools are open limited. Schools use a fucking agrarian calendar. School lunches serve crappy food, and many schools allow fast food & shit drinks to be sold rather than wholesome foods & drinks. Texts are outdated and, in many cases, flat out incorrect. Students have stopped caring about their test scores. Funding for the arts and other morale-boosting extra-curricular activities is non-existent, given to football instead. Many students are given free-passes so the teachers don't have to give them failing grades (which reflect poorly on the teacher & schools - many schools & teachers give out passing grades just to keep funding). Administrations are fiscally & morally crooked, as noted above. Over-emphasis on homework rather than in-class work time. Under-emphasis on basing teachers pay student achievement. Standardized tests. Over-powered unions that do not have the students best interest as a motivational factor.

Should I continue?

>>40788785

You have a problem with football?

>>40787055

Because Americans are fucking dumb and stupid.

They're the only country in the world that's able to vote in a president like George Bush.

>>40787513

> They ARN'T obsessed with anime and video games, that's why.

YOU MEAN LUCKY STAR IS...WRONG?

>>40788273
TIMMS comparison tests are done with 4th and 8th graders where both countries have mandatory attendance.

>>40788785

Stop projecting your high school experience on the entire American system of education.

>>40788766
>implying it isn't America that's backwards

>>40788785
No, because none of that matters if the student wants to succeed. And that stupid hippy bullshit about school lunches, give me a fucking break.

>>40788270
Most places in Europe and Asiahave little to no air conditioning

I fail to see what that has to do with anything at all.

>>40788469
>Since I'm from a different culture, I obviously don't understand this, but what the fuck is with these gooks and their obsession with honor and making parents proud.
It's an outdated control mechanism that should be scrapped so Asians can actually feel and be human for once.

Longer skool hours.

Keep this in mind

Snitching in Japan is frowned upon. Get robbed? Oh lawdy, just keep your mouth shut.

>>40788785

>School lunches serve crappy food, and many schools allow fast food & shit drinks to be sold rather than wholesome foods & drinks.

Not my problem fat fucks and people with shit metabolism can't control themselves. Then again I don't eat lunch, but when the only drinks available consist of flavored water and powerade I'm not a happy person.

ITT: bawwww i didn't take advantage of the american education system effectively or as efficiently as other people

>>40788785

Maybe so, but at least we aren't Japanese.

>>40789004
Well if you snitch in America you get a niggah fist in yo face. But what you said is true. Which is why rape and abuse happens so easily there. Contributing to such high suicide rates.

>>40789199
>>40789174
From what I've seen, people who snitched get beaten up regardless of race. Maybe it's just a New York thing.

>>40788845
Not at all. I played, too. But it doesn't need 90% of the funding.

>>40788929
Ask a student anywhere in America. You'll find that they mention multiple items I listed each time. I actually went to a pretty good public school.

>>40788947
If the student WANTS to succeed, yes. But too many students simply want to "get it done". This is not acceptable. And you are NOT going to try and say that a McDonalds super-size bag is a better lunch than a proper "hot lunch" that meets nutritional requirements by the Surgeon Generals' office. Sorry, the studies on that were printed in papers & medical journals YEARS ago, Buck-A-Roo Banzai.

Japanese kids: Pressured to do well in school
American kids: Get fucking spoiled

Also, for your average american kid, school is not cool. It's cool to skip class, and do whatever dumbass thing it is that comes to mind.

It really is a shame. For every kid that acts like that, or does the whole "durr imma rebel i dont follow rules" thing, a part of me dies inside, and another part of me wants to punch them in the face, and tell them to learn some common sense and get a fucking proper education.

But no. Nowadays, you can drop out of high school as a freshman, lay around and do nothing for three years, get your GED in a piss-easy test, and say you have a high school education. All while being babied and nurtured by your parents.

Fucking hell, I like being American, but why are there so many idiots around here?

>>40789285
>But too many students simply want to "get it done".

And from there on in, their potential is just about anywhere on the chart, from "President of the United States" to "Dead Homeless Person". Contrary to popular belief, how well you do in high school does not particularly affect anything other than what colleges you can go to. And even a guy who graduated from a community college can become a CEO if he's genuinely talented and devoted.

>>40789264

Fuck, US schools need to be militarized.

>>40789314

>wat

I don't know how to explain this much further. It's like when I had the drink machine taken out of my school that had soda in it replaced with the aforementioned drinks because parents or people of the like have complained about their sons or daughters being unhealthy.

And now skinny fucks like myself can't have a soda, I realize this sound selfish, but I think its a bit unfair.

>>40789308
Wrong, the truth is you're not nearly as intelligent as you like to think you are. Everyone one thinks they're a little above average. Problem is 90% of people can't be smarter than 50% of people.

>>40787055
Because school is SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS in moonrunes land. If you fuck up in school, then you're pretty much fucked in life. Over here, it's not as big of a deal as it is there.

Beating your child into fear or submission with a belt is not how you raise or educate them. I hope you never have children due to the fact that they will be scared and paranoid from their own parents.

actually, japan's education system is much easier than ours despite them going an extra day, etc.

have a few friends from japan that can confirm this. even a transfer student.
