Okay, so is Japanese school being hard/effective just a meme? I've worked with a few Japs in my time and many of them seem to forget/are unaware of very simple concepts they should know from university or even high school.
Is it that the teachers aren't very good at actually helping students?
What are they even teaching these students at these schools?
Is it just that the Japanese language struggles with teaching and explaining concepts like Euclidean and Newtonian Mathematics and Physics which has all originated from the west using western alphabetic symbols to describe the concepts, therefore students would have to study as hard as possible to ingrain concepts developed originally in English into their Japanese centered minds?
Or are Asians just really dumb and can't understand those simple concepts without studying themselves to death?
asian education systems are rather underdeveloped compared to western ones (in terms of teaching the material, not material taught. don't @ me with common core memes) china has this problem to an extent too

Stutends in Japan spend most of the time in school learning the japanese langauge itself. Kanji are notorious difficult to learn and there are thousands of them.

Asian are dumb. Thinking is an alien concept to them. It's strongly discouraged by their culture. The reason they are perceived to be smart is they just cheat when it comes to tests.

not video games, reported for off-topic

You're thinking of Chinese.

Asian schools teach to the test because test scores are the only metric that anyone in power judges performance by. They don't care about retention as long as you can parrot it back on the test and make the school look good.

they spend their high school years having adventures and saving the world, haven't you played any japanese games?

I wonder why schools now have single desks when I was in school all had double desks and were sat like pic related
Wow op, you have discovered that there are dumb people everywhere. I would say that you're dumb too, for thinking that all asians are smart. Not bumping this shit, and this thread is off topic by the way.

Chinese are actually very different and are the ones who cheat. Japs and Koreans are autistic.

Their cultural values push students to succeed, being a slacker or underachiever goes against the Japanese hivemind. This is why delinquents are such a big deal. Whether people call it racist or not, asians really actually do possess a very strong cultural hivemind. It's not unlike other places that are culturally homogenous though.
Whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, all have cultural things that are normal when constrained to being around their own people. Infact, it's quite bad to be in a multicultural society, because all things that are good for you as a person come from homogenous societies where your people are the majority. Multi ethnic (which gets mistakenly confused with multicultural) is a different thing entirely, the US is multi ethnic but for the most part has its own nationwide culture. You however, won't see homogenity BECAUSE of the diversity of races. The more you know. :)

The only time I saw desks like those were during grades 1 to 4, after that is was single desks in rows. This was back in thelate 80s

Dealt with plenty of Asians at university. Indians are the most useless Asians, by far. But Chinese, Japs and Koreans aren't massively better. It's clear their education system does not teach them how to think, it just teaches them how to recite what someone else said. They are all fucking useless when it comes to independent study and yes, they all fucking cheat.

IIRC it's a lot more competitive even before you start post-secondary. Western kids can literally spend the whole day goofing off and wandering the halls.

I can't imagine Japanese people are particularly intelligent.
Perhaps the best example of this is certain game genres. For example, did you know the jrpg genre was created specifically because western rpgs were too challenging and complex for Japanese people?
>be white >grew up in Singapore as a kid until my very early teens until I moved to Australia
It was terrible. I preferred white school so much more. The amount of pressure they put on kids is ridiculous.

that was my highschool class by the way

This is also true of most Americans and Europeans. People are generally not smart.

Wizardry and Ultima were too challenging and complex for MOST people.

asian schools are just about passing tests, not about learning
David Cooper
Basically, entrance test scores (particularly high school and university) are all that matters, and classes are taught accordingly. Students cannot be held back a year or kept from graduating, even if they skip all classes and never show up for school. Due to these circumstances, there is an entire industry centered around supplementary literature that not only aims to teach students how to pass these tests, but how to pass them with the least amount of work required, even if that includes cheating.
I've worked with quite a few Japanese graduate students who come to my country to get doctorates. From what they've told me, university in Japan is basically a joke once you actually get in, and degrees are mostly useful in the sense that they act as proof that you managed to get into a given institution. Once you manage to get into one of the top ranking universities you're more or less guaranteed to graduate and land a decent job, no matter what you actually studied or how well you did.
Coincidentally, that also means that Japanese degrees don't hold too much water outside Japan, and many of them aren't recognized or considered sufficient to qualify for doctoral programs in North America and Europe, especially in fields like engineering.
