B2.  Really, what's probably the worst about it, is that peoples brains still change a bit in highschool.  There are people who are bad students in gradeschool who really put things together in highschool. 

The "bad schools" issue will probably eventually go away if it's anything like asia.  In Asia they do things much the same way, except they have private tutors.  Parents hire private tutors, or put them in schools run by private tutors, after they get out of school.  Often times kids sleep in school so they can go to private tutors all night.

Of course then you have the whole "The public education system is pointless" issue and the fact that parents force their kids to work their entire childhoods.

To be honest, I've never seen a case where someone does better in high school than they did in gradeschool. It usually is a free fall starting from grade 5. I guess the way the system is set up can be to blame for this. Private tutors are the norm here though. Most people hire them, and the ones that don't fall behind. No one goes to private tutors all night though, and the sessions take place either at the kid's house or at the tutor's house.

The public edication system over here isn't very good, but it's better than the private system (and people couldn't afford to send their kids to private schools anyways).


I wouldn't be surprised if it was because of the education system... i mean people who do bad are put in a "worthless" highschool afterall.

The thing about schooling is that in reality it's MOSTLY about time, effort and attitude.

Espiecally math, which ironically is the subject most people feel there is a specific barrier around.
