Asians

[Bill Walker]

The main reason English is compulsory at school. High achievers are usually Asian (they work hard and hence deserve it) but do you want a doctor who can't speak English very well? The cultures are quite different. Most 'white' Aussies are happy to just pass a subject if it means they can party on a regular basis.

Yes it seems a cultural thing

I have a friend who is a violin teacher and 90% of his young students are Asian, the parents insist on their kids passing grades with flying colours, much more demanding than parents of white kid

(like you will play Vivaldi before your 12th birthday) lol

Talking out of your backside bud

I was just generalising cos I'm too lazy to go into detail. Obviously there are exceptions. Based on my experience in uni, the high achievers were more likely to be asian. If you went to the uni bar, it was more likely to be full of non asians. Culture plays a role in it for sure.

Exactly. culture does play a role and anybody can adopt cultures to fit into their lifestyle.
An Asian kid who's adopted from China and raised by a typical Shameless/Council Estate white family with no work ethic and heavy drinkers won't have the same drive/hunger thats literally forced fed to them by their education system over in China.

Teachers command respect over there, as do parents.

Over here, we've gone way overboard with political correctness.

A little kid cries in china because he is starving to death.
Here, a little kid cries because mummy won't allow him to eat a Mcdonald's as they're going to Burger King :/

The kid will probably report his parents to NSPCC because he didn't get a PS4 for christmas.

There is a downside to this though, individuality and social interaction is lacking, a lot of these kids miss out on a childhod, not sure it's worth it

Did you see the programme on Chinese teachers coming to england to teach British kids? Very interesting

No but thats quite ironic

the caucs are just a small minority group - the future is not cauc

Rather party into an early grave than work into one, it's all about balance, because once your gone your gone.

I remember I got chatting to an international student when I was at Uni and the pressure this poor girls parents had put on her since birth was insane. They basically pushed her to be a Doctor since she fell out of her mother and every time she fell below their high standards they would go mental at her. They sent her packing on her own to study in a foreign country because that was their wish. I asked her if she even wanted to be a Doctor and she just said she had no say in it which I just found crazy. Yes she is probably now a Doctor earning decent money but she has had no childhood, had no friends and seemed to have had no fun in her entire life. Is that worth it? I don't think so.
