Every Asian Childs dream 1. They get an A++ 2. Their parents to finally be happy and satisfied with what they get instead of saying they could do better😂😂😂😂😂
Brings back memories of 6th grade when I feared for my life the first time I ever got a B on my report card. I sat there by the street pole near my house cradling a spider I caught and hoping it might bite me so that I would have a reason to gain my mothers sympathy first, LoL. True story!!
C- = homeless man C = cleaning service B- = fastfood worker B = bus driver A = lawyer A+= doctor A++ = literal god This is what my mom thinks about grade.
OMG yes. Everytime I get a 99 or below, I get lectured. That's why I hate showing my mom my grades because for me it's literally impossible to get straight 100s...
It is actually true. A lot of Asian Moms are quite strict with grades. I used to remember being scared for having 98% on a test coz I know my mom would go ham on me. I even told her I got the highest score in our class, it did not even work.
I mean our parents pushes us too hard to the point it becomes addictive. Like it feels exhausting yet fun in the same time. Like people think it bad for us asians to oush kids like us but for me it such a great op for me to push my limits and grow even better.
I feel so blessed. I'm asian, mom is a biology teacher. Grandpa was a teacher too. And she never really push me so hard to get good grades. If I passed in every exam, that's good enough already. At least she knows, I do have some interest in certain subjects and be good at it, so it was a joyful teenage life ♡
I guess the more educated your parents are the more lenient they are with grades, most people who's parents give them a hard time come from poor backgrounds probably the parents push so hard because of the opportunity they never got.
Remind me of my school days when mother's day come, my teacher just give us a supper easy test and give everyone a++ just so we can bring it home and make our mother happy
I went to high school with people like that. I knew someone who took 5 ap’s and honors english junior year, and then, he took 4 ap’s senior year. He went to UC Berkeley.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast My friend took 5 AP and took college classes at local community college at nights, and got all A (4.7 GPA!). She got rejected from UC Berkeley, because she's Asian.
@@mychevysparkevdidntcatchfi1489 nah, it was not cause your friend was asian. It was cause your school was filled with people with more to show than that. Also, my friend took five aps just during the junior year; overall 9 in high school. So think about that.
@@mychevysparkevdidntcatchfi1489 I went through the IB program (also 4.7 GPA) and I'm an Asian female and the best school I got into was UC Davis. My school's also really competitive, and I don't think I could compare to many other IB or tech students.
I'm Chinese growing up in China. For so many times, when I prepared some gifts (my drawings, crafts or flowers) for my mum for her birthday, mom's day, new year's day, she always said: getting a better score in your next exam is the best gift
I resented my parents for not encouraging me while I was getting good grades. I know most parents do it by instinct but it really is wrong and could even destroy a child's self esteem
I relate to this so much. I used to consistently do really well in high school and my parents showed zero interest or encouragement throughout those years. Now that I'm in varsity they stay on my neck about my performance.
I feel bruh, no matter how hard i tried getting an A, i always end up with B and C. Like i feel im being interrorgated because i didnt get an A. Now these days shit as long as i pass with a C or B thats all thats gona matter to me
@@fartyfat6539 Except it is. The coefficient used for your university entrance is literally based upon your results relative to your classmates and other people's results. If you're not better than others, you don't get accepted. School, like everything else, is a competition.
Kid: “mom I got a 100 on my test Mom: “if you studied more you could’ve gotten a 102” Kid: “the grades don’t go past 100” Mom: “well if you applied yourself you work would be so good that they will give you a 102”
Brings back memories to when I was in elementary and I'd only get an A but my best friend got an A+. Most of the times we would just exchange titles for being the first honor and second honor in class. Sometimes we'd intentionally try to get a B just to see our mother's reactions.
I'm asian and I used to be so jealous of the western's kid, because their parents are not so hard on their school stuffs My parents literally traded my middleschool's social life as long as im in the top 5 in the class
In her 11th grade, my niece was preparing for the SAT and on mock exam scored 20 points off or 1 question wrong or something like that. My sister enrolled her in the Kaplan course, and she ended up with a perfect score on the real SAT. I always thought that's pretty insane to be that competitive.
I wonder how this family would have dealt with the kind of teachers at my school. More than one of them directly admitted to us that they refused to give students the highest grade available, even if you got 100% on every test and handed in extra credit, because they didn't want students to think they could slack off once they got the highest grade.
I just remember when I was in 2nd grade, the first time my father looked at my test paper he immediately crumpled it down and put it in my mouth. He said 'eat your score its too low'. From that day forward, I never went down from the honour list. AH, MEMORIES.
One time in when i was in fourth grade i competed against high schoolers in volleyball and won. My dad for the first time said, “good job” It’s very inspiring
I live in S.E.A when I was in 4th grade I had a classmate who was so competitive that he would borrow my test paper and rechecked my paper whenever I scored higher than him. The sad part is once, he actually found a mistake and brought it to the teacher. It was 2marks off and I don't remember if it made our marks equal or he was 1mark higher than me. In any case it was around 2 marks and he couldn't let it go.
I remember I'm about to disappoint my parents, I was walking from school to home and wished I had an accident so they had to focus on the accident and not the grade
At least a lot of us vietnamese can just try their best and not well...be forced into private lessons at night for trigonometry at the 7th grade **stares at half of my math class**
I remember I would be playing video games all day and my mom asked for my report card. I gave it to her and continued playing. She smiled and let me be. Unless I got a C. Then I would get talked too. Memories 😂
