+Brandon Kwon depends what school you go to. there are plenty of US schools that are as difficult if not harder than most japanese schools, cause why else are asian parents willing to come over to the US and have their child educated here if the schools here suck ass. Dont just surmise how US schools are compared to japanese. have u even attended one of the two or are u just basing your view on superficial accounts from students attending schools in harlem and detroit and the media. I live in the north east and in my school there are plenty of asian exchange students from china and many asian immigrants and some struggle with the material we learn; if US schools are easier why is this occurring and dont say its cause of the language barrier cause most of these asians have been in the US for a while and their english is fluent. And damn, what u said in the end that most of us american teenagers are disrespectful, is the most close minded, no just plain dumb shit ive read in quite a while. Like wtf, yeah japan is bound to have a higher good teenager to bad teenager ratio, but that doesnt mean the majority of us mericans are freaking ghetto weed smokers wtf. Yeah japan does have more good schools than US but that dont mean our actual good schools are still shit
