i feel like they’re usually more lenient when marking the harder questions, especially the ones near the end of the paper that most people in the state r really strugging with.apparently for the last question in 4u last year they gave you a mark for drawing the diagram. idek if this is true or not but yea

 

[killer queen]

Just pointing out, it's also not like that there, let's not diminish other countries please

sweet of you to defend them but it is quite bad in those countries, yes there are a lot of misconceptions but at least in China, factory schools are a real issue (academics have been a part of the culture for a while tbh, since even before the revolution) and the suicide rates are ridiculously high
a simple example would be the prevalence of high schools that completely structure their students’ days down to the minute, forcing them to have 5 hours of sleep a night and the rest of their days all spent studying
SK I agree might not be as bad but I'm 75% sure there's a decently cruel tutoring culture over there

what quokka said was not too far off the truth, just wanted to put that out there

 

[svad]

Good luck to anyone ancient today

 

[Study to success]

this is very true, and it's not just the school culture, it's also that your gaokao scores really DO matter for your future (unlike here, where there are so many alternate pathways, support and equity schemes), so it's a massive burden

Just adding on some stats on your reply (I totally agree by the way) South Korean education culture is actually just as horrific as china’s, however the equivalent of factory schools in SKorea would be the extracurricular and out of school tutoring (more tutoring tho). China doesn’t have out of school tutoring (at least legally now) so all the stress would come schools within and self-studying. Both would have societal expectations.
However, stats do allow us to see the high suicide rate in South Korea which is quite high and studies have shown the correlation between academics and mental health. It would be difficult to find the same statistics for china due to the lack of nationwide surveys and even if the results exist, I’m not a xinhua journalist so normal people can’t access it either way.

oh alr thanks

 

[yourbestfriend]

i thought that if everyone struggles as a year group that the marks get adjusted

yeah but theres always gonna be like the freaks in top selective schools that somehow get full marks. i saw an article yesterday from smh i think and there were cherrybrook high kids saying that the adv math paper was hard but they were "always happy to take on the challenge" and it wasn't too hard bc they did so many past papers
LIKE BRO GET OUT I DID ALL THE PAST PAPERS FROM OUR SYLLABUS AND MY SUCCESS ONE BOOK SO BASICALLY EVERYTHING SINCE LIKE 1995 I THINK AND I GOT LIKE 74 RAW MARKS (Based on that guy's answers) AINT NO WAY YOU WERE HAPPY TO DO THAT PAPER LITERALLY PISS OFF

 

[bigupsanky]

how do u guys like some of my pip ideas so far;

I think I have 2 ideas I'm leaning into for my pip. But I'm still gonna brainstorm more and add to these ideas

My first one is the Gen Alpha generation and how social media, etc affects their development--> like how they're growing up so much faster compared to other generations. And maybe I can dive into Sephora kids and all that stuff

The second one is Tiger parenting and stuff about tutoring centres, academic pressures and the effect it has on their identity, mental health, etc. Maybe I can compare it to parents of different ethnicities or from different areas cause some are more chill than others

both seem like good ideas but dont u need to do focus groups n stuff? if yes then i reckon go with tiger parenting cuz you got a larger pool of people to interview n stuff within ur school. also its pretty awkward tryna talk to year 7s to year 9s so yea

 

[bigupsanky]

I mean I know quite a few year 7s and 9s and so hopefully it won't be too awkward. But tbh my school doesn't have too many tiger parents cause I don't go to a selective school so idk how I"m gonna get people. Unless I rock up to a random tutoring centre and do iti there idk

if ur school is selective then defo they have tiger parent victims i think but whatever is feasible for u
