although my parents are also asian, they don't do these shirs. Let me tell how my story has been going My parents(they're asians too) never force me like that because it'd be stupid and not even have any benefits. Thanks to them, if they'd always been torturing me like those, i think i wouldn't be allowed to use internet for studying. Here, let me prove why learning freely is better than being pushed for something you don't like. i remember being bad at math, i started getting better at it when i was 6th grade(yeah i'd always hated math back then) but it was because we were always given an easy questions. When i got into 7th grades, there was my biggest failure at math, it showed me how bad i was. At semester 2, i decided to start studying through internet and youtube. There, i became happy so much, couldn't relate anymore tbh, everything is easy to learn, study, and made me more interested to learn more even when there was no test currently. As i was studying more, i even wanted to study about high school math such as calculus, logarithm, etc. Everytime math test comes, i don't study, even when my parents know, they don't even care, especially my father, he doesn't care cuz he's funny af and doesn't give any fucks, my mother? She's just quiet and doesn't give any fucks too, she just reminds about the time but smoothly not like those. Still, i get the highest good score though i'm not the highest rank cuz there are some subjects i'm bad at, those are mandarin(chinese language, i used to be good at it) and drawings(i would've passed if i hadn't spent my time in class just for playing, but who cares? That isn't even part of my school's report, it is just mentioned but unnecerssary). Once again, i'm glad i must not go through like that kid(tbh i feel bad for him, i assume his mom has never been good at somethn 😂), also, that's why i've always been able to learn in smartphones(which asian parents don't wanna see their kids to lift it) Yet, because of internet, i've mastered some programming languages. if some people keep thinking forcing is good, i'll feel bad your future kids, may they not deserve any kind of force from you. I just wanna tell that, forcing is some kind of old idiot thing, AND EVEN FORCING YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW! His father is right, as he already said, "making fishes climb a tree just makes them torture, that's why they live in the water". Her mom is just too old minded, this is what i COMPLETELY HATE, she even keeps pushing him just for something they're not interested at. I don't even think she was ever good when she was still in school and university 😂😂. again, when you become parents and do this, YOU'VE GONE FOR SO LONG.

Not to mention, enough time has passed and I've experienced enough to safely conclude that grades aren't meaningless. Nonetheless, they are not the be-all-end-all, for a fully intelligent person is still only half a person should they be deprived of any emotional capacity, health or passion to use said intellect. That's why I don't really agree with the comment about "high school is just there for you to pass" - key example being, say, art class, where reflections are what actually gather marks because it's high school. But nobody goes to art class to write artist statements, they go there to learn how to draw, as near-inconsequential to the mark as it may be.

@@maximusmagnutena4091 like this is a bruh moment, if you know how to do it you're gonna get good grades. There's no way to evaluate your self progress other than grades, so if you get bad ones you probably don't have a deep understanding of the subject. (especially maths and scientific ones.)

His dad is raising him perfectly. He wants him to follow his passion but he also cares about getting at least decent grades to stay in line.

[@ethansalvari]

Lol no he isn’t. Getting good grades won’t make you successful in life. If you think get good grades and go to collage and then get a career is a good life. It’s not. It’s not true. Everything they teach you is crap in school. I don’t know much about history and science and math. But I know how to make money. Investing in property’s and letting people rent your homes. School never taught me that. And never will. You can’t get rich by getting good grades and going to college

[@astrielle446]

@@ethansalvari Investing in properties and letting people rent your homes are 2 THINGS. And let me tell you - this society is absolute BULLSH*T. Society doesn't care of you getting stressed or depressed, it only cares about your grades. And if you don't get decent grades, some people don't even let you get a job or at least do something. He is getting decent grades is what will allow him to enter the tech sector. Because some people only rely on your grades and nothing. I think he should follow his passion but also get decent grades. School is not a education system but a system which allows you a pass to do anything, not freely but at least do something. Some people don't even let uneducated people to get a SMALL job. It becomes so hard. And some people even give up or die. So it's better if you don't live by the "quotes" to live because they don't do nothing when it comes to actions.
