As an Asian, my father has been an exception. He would scold me more for not being clear on the concept rather than getting low marks. During PTMs, he would look at the wrong questions and ask me if I knew the right answer now. To him knowledge mattered more than the percentage. I think it was this attitude that always gave me a peace of mind. I did extremely well at school even coming first several times.
Bro my dad scolds me for both, like if I am crystal clear on the concept but don’t get a 100% he goes, so you don’t know the concept, and if I get 100% on an exam but then the concept isn’t too clear, he yells at me “then where did this come from” and points at my test
That's so true 🤡 idk everytime when my mom scolds me and if it turns into a lecture all the bad things that I have done and my lackings that I have ever had in my life would be counted and yeah ofc it will include me being "fat" 🤡 "fat" is the main character it never gets replaced despite what mistakes I do , it always finds its way in the lectures 🤡👌
As an Asian, I can say this is 100% true. When I was in the 1-2 grades I was afraid of coming home because I was so freaking afraid my mom would kill me for getting B on my native language class. I mean she’s told me to never come back home if I get B because that would be better than what she would do.. Long story short, she’s been killing me so many times that I’ve lost count
I’m so glad my husband and I (who are both Filipino) did NOT raise our kids in this harsh, unforgiving, heartless Asian manner, yet ALL of them earned great grades, and were accepted into university. Also Dean’s Academic List☺️
My mother is a mix of both- she’s like “as long as you try” then if I get a c she slaps me, if I get a b she’s like “oh..okay”.. endless it’s math then she goes off and if it’s a A she’s just like “good”
My parents told me always that i will always need math like calculus and things like 2X=6 X=3 And still i havent used them to this day outside of anything related to school
Asian parents are not verbally expressive, mushy, and lovey-dovey, but they show love through their actions. They are very caring and will sacrifice everything for you to become greater than they were. They dont want their children to go through the same. That's why many Asian kids are compelled to become doctors, engineers, and high earners in the American workforce.
So true. Oh my gosh. When I was in college, long time ago, the Vietnamese students were supported by their parents in ways typical American parents don't seem to be. So many of the "boat people" were highly educated individuals; doctors, pharmacists, science professors, etc. They could not get a job in their field right away here in the USA but had to - chose to - work hard for their children's future. The students I knew lived in small apartments and their studies were the focus of their parents. Their parents, professionals remember - worked at least two jobs, usually minimum wage jobs, to keep their children supported. The students would tell me that they wish they could work as well but their parents insisted "NO; your job is to study". These children were also boat people (meaning not born here) so English was still a bit of a challenge. I tutored English and I had a tutee that actually translated her entire textbooks (those besides math and science) into Vietnamese for comprehension then reread the English to learn the language more efficiently. She would come to me to make sure she translated correctly to get the meaning of the text. I was flabbergasted at the work she would do. (you should have seen her books; whew) As you can see, I still remember those experiences these years later. Meanwhile, back at BLM central and their demands for reparations.....................
Josh, you are literally my favourite person when it comes to skits and it's really funny how I can relate to everything. I guess it's our fate as Asians.
@@priyankajain6476 They are not just gods, they are a whole hamper consisting of the slipper belt and in my case the broom which comes flying from the kitchen to my computer table.🤣😅
I’m not even Asian, but this is so damn relatable to me, & so damn accurate EVERYTIME report cards came out. my dad’s grading system was anything that wasn’t a perfect A+ was an F, which meant I was an idiotic, worthless failure. 💎💜!!
It's not about Asian. It's just high expectation vs low or none when it comes to academics. High is better for you because when you come out in the world to make a living, it will be all high expectations, whether you work in a corporation or run your own business.
I'm Central Asian and my mom acts like white parents, but I guess it's more like exception. I used to get most "A"s but at the last years it went down to 6 "A", 7 "B" and 4 "C", but all she said is just that I did all I could and I don't have to push myself. And I can just choose any profession I want(The problem is... Idk what I want to do even though I'm already 19yo). So I watch your videos just for fun, I hardly can relate 💀 I guess I'm kinda lucky with my mom
That's the thing for me, You should push yourself and try your absolute best, so then even if you fail you will have no regrets because you had tried entirely. If you work at max and get a C, that means C is your maximum, so therefore it's okay, because you tried your best
@@sevgi6026 unfortunately, I didn't know that when I was younger, I wish I knew that in middle school, It could save so many nerves :D. But now, yes, I can assess myself and I know what I deserve and what not so I don't really get upset If I don't know something and get low marks on that subject
Yup. I remember getting A's on all my subjects but my dad would yell at me to get an A+ I would try to explain to him that my grade didn't have A+ and he would yell at me that I could somehow do better. I laugh at it, but it was seriously damaging knowing that I would never be good enough.
I can agree, this is the exactly what happens to me, and they think that after yelling, we would get motivated or smt? Then they would start talking abt their past (yK what I mean) and its annoying
Damn this is way too relatable. Got an A- in a subject in uni, and that dropped my CGPA. Called my mom and she said, "A- ?? A- ??? Why cant you get an A?"
I got over an 100 on a mandarin quiz once because she puts extra credit opportunities I got a 102% my mom looked at it and was like oh, but you could have gotten a 105… 😭
"then why does the cafe starts with a c rather than a k?" "huh?" "exactly!" LMAOOOO i thought c would stand for crap or sthing but this one is way too funnier
White girl here. My mom always was like “well it’s your future, not mine, you want to get into college, do your work, it’s not my responsibility, it’s yours.” Even in elementary school she wouldn’t “force” me to do my work just say “go do your homework” if I did, then cool if I didn’t, she’s like “well it’s not my job to be on your butt 24/7. Context: single mom 3 kids with the youngest- me, being disabled since birth, so she was exhausted all the time. But also believed in personal accountability. You become an adult no one’s gonna be on you to wake up in time and baby you forever so, better to learn to be accountable for your own mistakes now, at least when it came to grades anyway. None of my teachers thought I’d graduate- took me 8 yrs of High school but I did it.
Whenever I watch these skits..I feel grateful that my asian parents are more laidback.. I still remembered in primary school, I was constantly flopping. Even with tuition, it just kept dropping..the lowest I’ve ever gotten was 20+/100 On Parent Teachers Meeting day, they saw my grades and I would never forget the words they said to me. Disappointment flashed through their eyes but they looked at me and said, “Its alright, at least try to pass everything for your next exam.” It almost felt an illusion or dream because they was always so strict with me when it comes to education..It was the first time I’ve seen them softening..For the sake of myself and my parents, of course I worked even harder and eventually got a decent score for my national examinations. Better than a pass but not up to my satisfaction. With that score, I managed to enroll in a pretty good secondary school. And today, Im studying in a private institution upon excelling. Genuinely thankful that I had parents who didnt keep “beating me down”, instead they gave a pat on my back and encouraged me throughout my journey. There’s still a long way to go but, I will keep striving to do my best in everything. Thank you mummy and papa.
My Korean neighbors were the best ever. We didn’t speak each other’s language but spoke the language of gardening. I miss them. But who knew they were putting their 13 grandchildren through all this?! 🤣😂🤣😂
Top 5? My parents never gave me a standard that low! The bare minimum they gave me is top 1 in whole world! Edit: then again, I failed to do that so they disowned me
Then D for doctor, right?! That one got me. Man you are immediately talented and your style of comedy appeals to a lot of people. You should try stand up comedy.
This was relatable when I was in elementary school and middle school. If I was failing a class in those schools, this happened. Now my parents have high expectations for my grades.
I'm laughing but crying in the inside. Even if I'm already "finished" school and get barely any good grade. This still hits me hard on the heart due to the constant reminder on how much of a failure I am. 😂😭
You're not.You're just impatient about yourself. Be patient,work hard,and keep faith. If didn't work do it again and again. Be patient cuz massive success always needs massive hard work and patience it can may take alot of time for the succsess.And don't care about what people say!they're gonna criticize you no matter what.So just do what I said.I believe in you. You can do it if listen to me.☺️☺️☺️
My dad is always like "anything above 70% I'll be so pleased anything less is okay as long as you tried your best" but my mum is always saying "anything below 90% is terrible do u want to work in McDonald's or tescos" LOL
If you are a kid going through this type of parenting, just know that: Your parents probably went through the same thing and they are repeating the cycle. The best thing you can do for your future kids, if any, is to stop the cycle. Give them discipline and a sense of self-worth, but not abuse 🙏❤️
As a Asian kid, I'm so glad my mom was an exception. She even told me to stop enrolling advanced German class next term when I got a C (which I cried my eyes out from disappointment). She said 'I don't want to see you cry'.
Not just Asian parents, haha. As a teacher, I sat in on a couple of conferences like this with a guy who came from Africa to the States. His kid was good in math, just not perfect. His response to her report card: “Why my daughter like to fail?” I tried to explain that B+ wasn’t a failing grade only to quickly learn that, in his house, it most certainly was.
Lol my parents are in between 😂 In 5th grade, my grade teacher did a lot of extra school shit. She made us read children’s newspapers and tested us on words in the newspaper’s “new word” section every Monday. I didn’t study since it was more of an extra curricular activity and got 55/100. My parents saw the score and they were shocked 😳 I mean, the test itself had nothing to do with actual school report card grades. It was just something the teacher did for fun. Well. Starting the next week, my dad reminded me to study on Sunday night and woke me up at 5:30~6 am every Monday so I could study for at least an hour before going to school at 8:30. All because of extra curricular test. I was 11.
The voices bro! Spot on! The white lady sounds and even reminds of Michael jackson 🥰 The switch of the asian mum whipping to “hi! Welcome to burger king. May i take your order” 🤣🤣🤣amazing ✨✨✨✨
No- I'm white- but my mom is almost exactly like this. C is instant death, B is showering me with guilt and an A she's like wowww look at that. Quarantine messed me up though- now my best grade is a C- maybe a B- but rarely- Anyways- these are hilarious! Definitely my go to for a good laugh! Keep it up!
As a Filipino who recently got hit on the head by a slipper for getting an 99 instead of 100 average on my report card, i can confirm that this is accurate.
0:52..."B 😲? B 🤔? Are you Amber Heard?" That doesn't make any sense? - 'My dog stepped on a BEE AHH😫' 😂🤣🤣😂🤣 I HAVE BEEN STUCK ON THIS PART FOR 5 MINS NOW HELP PLEASE 🤣😂😂🤣😫😭😭😭😭
i remember my 10th offline board result in which i got above 96 in math, english and social sciences. my mother was upset at the score of a 89 in science and 88 in hindi, when she herself encouraged me not to take science and choose humanities (which i did). says a lot about asian parents ig
lmao i remember in my twelfth term-1 boards i scored 35/35 in psychology and biology but 33 in chemistry and 31 in physics. all my mom was said "yeah, yeah good but what about chemistry and physics they're the main subjects you should've scored good in them as well" 💀💀
