      This used to be a thing in Australia, like 30 years back. Kinda. At the end of each term, they would get kids to sand their own desks for an hour or two because they couldn't afford to hire actual workers, and they'd get kids to wipe off the blackboards each day. My mother once pointed out that there was gum under the table and the teacher responded by saying, "You put it there, didn't you? Clean it up!" So she spent the rest of the 30 minutes scraping off gum from under all of the desks instead of actually learning anything.
      This taught her not to point out any trash and, instead, ignore it.
      The closest thing to cleaning that I did was Clean Up Australia Day and collecting the rolls, I guess. Nothing comes to mind except, you know, just putting your own trash in the bin and being forced to pick up other people's trash if you come a few minutes late to school.

    • @cypherglitch
      @cypherglitch 7 лет назад +3

      Kinetic RWBY when we had "bin scab duty" we had to collect a bucket full of rubbish before we could finish, so kids just grabbed the rubbish out of proper bins and it was all over in minutes. So teachers were so dumb, or just maybe to trustworthy, and thought we did an amazing job. I felt guilty when I pulled the wool over teachers who were to easily trusting kids. I knew how hard to was to get.

      That one lasted about 3 weeks. This one is so much better! Getting the ultrasonic treatment twice already costs more than this so I would definitely recommend permanent straightening over that! The only thing is you can't do it on damaged hair, which includes a lot of dyed hair I think? My friends so far have all said they can't do it since they dye their hair.

      I hate it when houses only have toilets in the bathroom. That way you can't go when someone else is taking a shower and if it's too close to surfaces that e.g. shampoo bottles are placed on I get nervous I might bump into them and have them fall into the toilet bowl. And the smell... that's probably the worst part, because I hate smelling toilets when I'm using a shower/bath.

      Error In The Matrix
      Unit tub is less expensive and saves space, arguably more convenient. Showering while sitting in an open area is easier and less cramped. Also, having the shower control is way better for water usage and is something I don't really see, in Canada at least. Some higher-end places probably do have a separate shower.
      Anyways, having the floor drain and slope itself is what I'm mostly talking about, though.

    "Japan's literacy rate is nearly 100%"
    This, I actually can comment on. The Japanese government defines "literacy" as the ability to read Hiragana and Katakana, since technically the Japanese spoken language can be written using only one or the other (or both) of these. Going by this definition, I would be considered "literate" in Japanese, which I definitely am not. Hiragana and Katakana are very easy to read and write, much more so than English. However, there are about 2000 Kanji recognized by the government as also necessary to functionally read Japanese, but aren't counted as "necessary" to constitute literacy.

      @goblinleafyboi 5 лет назад +19

      I've been trying to learn Japanese on my own for a while and I've come to the conclusion that I'll worry about the Kanji later. I want to get the Hiragana and Katakana down and memorized and focus on learning vocab an grammar. I'm sure I'll learn some Kanji along the way, and not that I don't want to (I mean, if I really wanna learn everything I'll HAVE TO at some point). But as of right now in my new stage of learning Japanese the Kanji seem very daunting to me, and I don't want that to be the reason I don't learn the language.

      @@ttarsi it's the same as we learn the abcd, what makes it easier for them is that they have fixed write and sound, so if you hear something, it wouldn't be suddenly have different meaning and writing, but in english, there's this type of which one should have double character, or like this have the same sounding back (or vocal sound, I don't really know what you call these" but for example, y"ou", cr"e"w, cr"ue"l, wh"o", kangar"oo", which all sounded like "u", even if they are not written by the letter "u". While in Japan, a will always be a, u will always use u, and not suddenly being writtern by oo, ue, and etc. And I think that's what they mean by easier. And I agree, it's not easy as well, but if you grow up with them, the sentences really do have easier form than english that have differemt kind and so many kind of sentences form.

    • @ZarlanTheGreen
      @ZarlanTheGreen 8 лет назад +5

      ***** _"They might have "debunked", at most, one or two if them. The vast majority were true."_
      First of all, that is beside the point. Regardless of how much of it was debunking, it's still good to debunk ...and even for the bits they don't debunk, it's good to check/confirm the veracity of the claims.
      ...but also, what you're saying is nonsense. 9gag had 25 claims. You say just one or two were false?
      I count about 14 (of 25) statements, that are true and not in need of further clarification, to not be misleading ...and about 7, that are downright false (one of which they didn't debunk, though).
      Note that they never really said if the kancho thing was true or false. (it does exists, sure, but... is it common? Is it accepted?)

    • @crazy808ish
      @crazy808ish 8 лет назад +2

      Statistically that may be true. But after just watching the video, one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true.

    • @ZarlanTheGreen
      @ZarlanTheGreen 8 лет назад

      crazy808ish _"Statistically that may be true."_
      Statistically, and in every other sense.
      _"one does indeed get the impression that the majority were true."_
      Well the _majority_ was true, but a very large part, wasn't ...and even some of the true things, were misleading ...and about 3-6 of them, were far from weird. Rather trivial, quite frankly. (e.g. Japanese people drink a lot of coffee? So what? Most people do)
      _"As for debunking? I think you just wanted to use that word."_
      WTF? How would that even make any sense? I used the word, because it is exactly the thing they are doing, that I wished to voice my approval of. I used the word, because it is the term that refers to the concept I spoke of.
      You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, about something.
      Are you angered at cherished beliefs of yours, that you've had debunked or something? (being robbed of ones misconceptions, is something to be *grateful* for ...which is why I make a point out of always thanking people, who make me realise any of my mistakes or misconceptions)

      Marley Dees it’s weird in Japan because traditionally those three things are in separate rooms. They put them together in one room only if the house is really small. And that’s because as Rachel and Jun said, you’re supposed to shower outside of the bathtub, and then soak. The water in the bathtub is supposed to be used by all of the family members, that’s why it has to be clean and used only for soaking. If you’re showering outside of your tub, it means that you can’t have anything on your sink or it will get wet 😅😂 that’s why it’s better if you have the tub in a separate room.

    In general, kids in America don't get the kind of academic pressure that kids in Japan or other Asian countries get. Instead of trying harder to get better at a subject, an American kid may just give up and choose another subject/hobby they like better. Or decide to focus on sports instead of academics. And many American parents are ok with that, and don't pressure their kids to study or get along with the teacher. Too many American parents also try to argue with the teacher in favor of their children. Asian parents usually give the teacher free reign to teach how he/she sees fit.

    About slurping
    I'm Japanese. Yeah, sometimes slurping is good thing because about certain kind of noodles food, like ramen or Soba, by slurping we can also smell the tasty soup and it helps us enjoy the dish more.

    I'm agoraphobic, I'm 24 and I spent 4 years housebound, it was the hardest 4 years of my life. Even tho I had video games and music and books, the lack of social communication means it was very lonely.
    I'm trying hard to over come this, I still have days/weeks when I cannot go out but my dream is to live in Japan, so I'm trying hard to overcome this. I didn't know it was an "acceptable thing" in Japan.

      Uuugh! Aragophobia is the worst! I have epilepsy and can't drive, but I Had it SEVERELY at ages 14-18...got a bit better, but not by much between 19-23, even though I got married to an Air Force guy and had to move to Mississippi, It took all I had to even go next door alone. Moved to OKC and had kids. The kids made it easier when we had to go places ( just them and I), but that was extremely rare. I went on a plane (Phoenix to and from Oklahoma City ) alone twice and survived, but it was draining and had to keep myself occupied. I got on anti-anxiety/panic Meds and began therapy for tons of stuff, including my Aragophobia, but with a lot of work and Meds, when I was 24, I was able to go places on my own. I had to force myself to be light-hearted and happy to fight the constant impending panic. I'm 36 now and still struggle with it, but it's mainly because of health issues. I still get days where the thought of having leave the house fills me with dread. I know EVERYTHING you described. Are you in therapy or on Meds?

      I think it's mostly an Asian and South East Asian thing. It's not really a compliment but more like slurping kind of cools down whatever you're eating - which of course is referring to soup. That's the way that I was taught.

    • @sarahmitchell7799
      @sarahmitchell7799 8 лет назад +33

      I would say it's probably our immigrant population, however I'd hesitate to say it's our "illegal" immigrant population. I'm fairly certain there are plenty of legal immigrants from countries with poor public education. I'm curious if this 14% literacy means literate in the common language of a country or literate in any language? We do have a lot of people who don't who aren't literate in English, so if it means in the dominant language than our immigrants, legal or not, could be what brings us down. However, it may not mean they aren't literate in another language.
      I also wouldn't think in terms of race because it's about education, not "average IQ." Someone with a low IQ can still be taught to read, regardless of their race.
      Anyways, I'm simply speculating since I myself know little on the topic (I did a little research while typing this, but I didn't dig too deep). If someone happens to know if literacy in a country includes foreign languages, I would be interested. I realize the very definition of the word includes any language, but I'm wondering if this apparent survey that yielded our 14% included foreign languages or not.
