Yes, three words: Casio pocket calculator. |

casio pocket calculator! no way. HP made much better calculators. Oh and I take it we are talking about the people of Japan, not the land mass itself? Parking itself across a massive faultline and enduring earthquakes is pretty dumb, so is being devoid of almost any natural resources. |

Most Japanese would say yes. Education in Japan, from what I know, is more or less like military training. This is especially the case in high school, where Japanese students have to go through exit exams that are part of what's referred to as juku, or cram school. Once they're in college, things tend to ease up a bit, or so I've heard. There's a probability that I'll find out for myself this fall, since I'm planning on going on a student exchange to Hokkaido University of Education in Sapporo this fall. *ahem*anyway.. |

yeah, i'm in year 11 at high school in australia (i dont know what this means to other parts of the world.. but, 17 years old.) and i'm doing maths methods class which is like all new stuff to us, and there are asians in the class just acing it, and they say that they learnt this in year 7 and even a bit in primary school... i don't know what this says about australian education or their education but it is definitely a little out of proportion.. *ahem* anyway.. |

asians have some impressive traits, i think they'll probably lead the human race in the coming centuries. |

as we know the australian government is trying to decide whether or not to further relax secondary education standards. i dont agree with it. i sat year 12 in 1996, and i definitely think that cirriculum was fair. |

yeah, it seems like it's just a way to filter out whatever amount of people there is who cant manage to pass year 12... and i dunno, they put pressure on you with exams and whatnot, but if you just try, i think most people really can pass it to whatever extent.. i know, asia is way ahead of us in education. we also have some exchange students in our school atm, and theres a german in our maths class whos just owning.. you just cant help but get the feeling our education is lacking.. oh well. its not like only passing high school actually means much though in terms of getting anywhere with a career etcetc.. DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE OR SHOULD I GO TO BED. |
