Your whole life determined by one exam. Studying all day long with no breaks even on weekends. Your parents placing academics above everything because that’s what respect is tied to amongst friends and family.

You’re very lucky if you’re born in the US, where you can get into a good university just by being good at pickleball

This is true. Kids start prepping for this from elementary school. Placed in tons of afterschool curriculars. They barely sleep

My country isn't east Asian but they have a similar problem your future job and life is determined by the average score of 7 exams but there is an inflation in grades because of how much people get high grades so if you want to go become a doctor and study in the capital you would need an average score of 100+ the max is 100.
