6th grade girl commits suicide because she did not finish summer vacation homework.

Maybe they'll look at this and go, "Hmmmm if we want to have a work force, maybe we should convince people to be a tad more lax with their children in terms of academics."

This is gross to be honest, it's bad enough they're in the top 10 for Highest suicide rates and not to mention that they have a high number of high school students suicides, but when a 6 year old commits suicide to scape the oncoming emotional abuse from their parents and peers, you have a serious social problem.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, and frankly you're taking what I said entirely out of context. The OP I replied to insinuated she was 6 years old and on this basis suggested change for the Japanese education system. I just pointed out that his premise was incorrect.

That's just silly, she can't be compared with the rest of the class, because her situation might be entirely different (A lot of pressure from parents, a teacher that hates the particulier student etc).

Personally I think sheltering your kids and their media access, is an irresponsible parenting desicision. Why? Because later in life they're going to view it anyway.

If they view it, understand it, and get over with it early as possible, they will go through the phases a typical teenager goes through in adolescence, much earlier, get over them with most likely much less actual damage, and in turn mature faster and be more knowledgeable.

If I had a kid he would be getting a run-down of the "forbidden" things in the world, everything parents typically won't let there kid watch/read, and full access to the internet. As early as possible.

Unlike in school as it is often done, problems are not always conveniently pigeonholed into categories that the students can recognize and "apply" formulas as taught. Scientific and mathematical finesse reaches beyond simple memorization, although it is a vital part of the process.

>We tried to understand why the Jews are geniuses, and we came to the conclusion that it is because they study Talmud

Why can't goyim just accept they will never be as intelligent as us jews? It's not because of a stupid book, it's in our genes.

It would be a grammatical mistake if I didn't know the difference between your and you're. But I do, I just accidentally misspelled it. IE. A typo.

Seems to apply like HELL to the situation.

Go back to reading your web comics on spelling, and grammer, nerd.

I prefer having no friends that impede my free-time. I learn this time and time again, most recently when I joined university. Every time I spent my time with someone I was wondering just when that person would finally fuck off again.
