American students vs. Asian students. A comparison

[Lloyd Braun]

Typical American students. Fighting. Not listening to the teacher. Poor discipline.



What American students do after school.



Watch TV all day. Eat fast food. Parents don't care. Basically, do everything except studying and do jack all.

Typical Asian student.



What the typical Asian student does after school.



Studying all day. Parents who actually care about education. Have you ever read a report of gun violence in Asian schools? Yea, that's right because it doesn't happen.



Boo woo who cares Asian students study more what's the big deal?

American students lag behind other economies in Math, Science and other subjects.

Education is vastly important, and apparently to Americans they could really not give 2 sh*ts. That's OK...because pretty soon Asians are going to be ballin.

Work ethic > everything.

At least American students have fun with their lives whereas Asian students are slaves to education...

[TheAsianMan]

american education system ****ing sucks because you put ****ty misbehave kids in the same class with kids who have potential, brb "no child left behind". You also have kids coming form parents that does not know how to be good parents not giving a **** about their kids.

At least fatties have fun with their eating instead of being a slave to their dietary habits like bodybuilders and others who put hard work and sacrifice into sculpting their bodies and health.

See?

I can play this game too.

[bodyarmorbently]

when will misc give it a rest with america hate

seriously, why does it rustle your jimmies so badly

[MotoBrah]

I would take the american education any day.

[BigBeard86]

Hey, if you think that's the life your supposed to live, the life of a robot, then your society will develope things such as, 2 girls 1 cup.

American students do not "work hard".

[BuckeyeBlitz]

social and communication skills are the great equalizer.

Also, I'm sick of hearing all of this "American students don't work hard/your degree is worthless" ****. Typical bashing of the younger generation.

[LaCosaNostra90]

Its not just America, its here in Canada too. Vancouver is JAMMED with asians, UBC is almost exclusively asians, especially Sauder business school. Its impossible to compete with the Asians because all they do is work. They have ZERO social life. Wouldn't trade my grades for theirs for their social life.

Are you a robot for eating 5 smaller healthier meals a day??

[PrinceOfNigeria]

if you ever been to highschool in america you would know how crappy it is, every kid fighting each other and trying so hard to act tough

[Vyraal]

ITT: OP describes public school systems and elementary learning

Whole different ballgame in the 2nd/3rd tier education. Other than, I completely agree.

Not a proper analogy, bro. Being a fatty is extremely detrimental to health, well-being, and society as a whole.

Whereas not being as studious as our asian counterparts isn't at all that detrimental.

When making analogies, make sure to include magnitude. I can see that you were educated in the States, btw.

[PuNjAbixxPheNoM]

India just like China bro at the age of 5 they learn stuff we learn in the 4th grade.

I was talking about myself and not every american student is like what you posted.

[wsuwarrior]

The dude who shot up Virginia Tech is asian.

[facemower]

being a superpower is too easy

[scotyg]

in grade/high school in the US, you only get as much out as you put in. you're not forced to try hard



but there's a reason Asians come over here for college..

[swks26]

Asian brah checking in here. I'm not sure where's the part where I study 24/7.

Nope.

Are Asians inherently smarter? Are other countries' students in Eastern Europe and elsewhere who are outcompeting American students inherently smarter?

Nope.

They are simply working harder. The analogy is the same. If you want something you have to work hard at it. "Not being studious isn't all that detrimental".

Yea...you're right. It isn't "detrimental" if you really don't want a greater opportunity for wealth creation and innovation. Continue believing that you can have it both ways.

Work ethic > everything.

[eMan0n]

It's cool OP, we got the Asian American students to balance it out for us.

[Gomer_Pyle]

This takes about 20 min to prepare and another 35 to eat.



And i like our educational system, hard workers rise above the rest easier.

[seagullman]

inb4 rustled jimmies

[CommonPheasant]

I've worked with nationals from many different countries in my line of work (oilfield). The supposedly "smart" countries produce pretty useless employees that lack basic problem solving skills from my experience. If a written procedure didn't exist for something they were hopeless, especially the Chinese, oh lawd...

American employees are much more useful than much of the world's work force frankly. Creativity and communication skills >> mindless memorization and following procedures IMO. I've also had good experience with Brits and Norwegians FWIW. One English contractor we hired learned his role pretty extensively in just a few weeks, faster than any of the new hire trainees we had who took months just to become somewhat proficient.

[KILLdante]

It's k. We still have the Ivy League schools.

Yea...when you're in 12th grade and you get an A+ because you can do basic algebra because the others are still stuck on simple addition that isn't exactly saying much.

You guys do realize that in our global world you aren't competing against other Americans....



...you're competing against EVERYONE.

[No1DraftPick]

America: Sexting during class
Asia: Hooked up to IVs so they can study longer without eating/sleeping/hydrating

America: Good fun lives
Asia: Suicide for getting a 98 instead of a 100.

Lil cuz went to HS in hongkong, said the non-international school students were the most stressed out freaks he has ever seen and a lot of them commit suicide due to a) disappointment to family for getting an A- or b) from the extreme stress and lack of any originality/fun in their lives.

[SnatchKinGZZZ]

sso much stupid in this thrad........ you guys realises its 2012 right? world gonna end/plunge into anacrhy. social skills and survival skills> skills gained from college/highschool. only the strong survive
