the only problem with the japanese way is that it puts a lot of pressure on students who end up with a very high suicide rate. Is it the same in portugal>? |
No, because we don't have the pressure of upholding the family's honor and disgracing ourselves in our parents' eyes. It doesn't mean we don't give a shit, of course we do. But the japanese have those heavy cultural impositions.
Over here people that go to private universities are generally looked a bit down upon, since they usually go to one of those when their grades aren't high enough for the public ones.
