The growing perception is that Asian students are more likely to excel in studies and it id because education systems in most Asian nations are more academic and exam-orientated. They assume that it is ja cultural thing. Asian teaching typically assumes educational excellence, something that modern Western thought should pick up on.

In UK and most probably in US as well, White Kids get punished for bringing home an F, but making an A was merely recommended as a good idea. In other words, kid is considered a good student as long as he/she wasn’t failing.

There is also another theory in favor of Asian Countries Education System “Its all about a Culture. Asian people tend to teach you to actually excel, while in UK, they just teach a lot of nonsense. Also, in UK, for some reason, it’s cool to be the bad boy that only got prison going for him. In Asia, caring about your life is more cool. You’re cool and cute if u get a D in UK, but you’re an idiot in Asia”.

But i don’t agree with this theory as after all many countries have the same academic ethic.

One of my friend said, “I think it’s because their educational systems are actually teaching them instead of just propagandizing them to be good little drones. The Asian nations have gone whole-hog into education, and are still working to equip their students for something besides the politically correct life.”

Another friend of mine disagree with this whole theory said, “It is not true. We have the best college here in the states but Asian American students always do well in school because they study while we party. and also its family and societal pressure that drives them.”

There is another very interesting figures i discovered on wikipedia that AFRICANS learn English faster than Asians, and are, generally, faster learners. The percentage of African immigrants in the US who have attained a higher education is higher than that of Asian immigrants. Read the article here yourself at Wikipedia

What do you think guys??? please let me have your opinions.
