When I was a kid and when I was a TA I used to mark only the wrong answers. It helps keep the page neat so you're eyes only have to process the information in accordance to the "wrong" answer and its easy to pick out when they're doing the problem again
For those who dont understand: In japan, they check with '⭕' if correct and '/' if wrong. Edit: please dont argue about it in my replies😅 Edit 2: Im correct, if u can see the video.
I learned this from detective conan. The mom almost killed a teacher who was foreign because he forgot that checking in japan is different. Edit: it was a dad not a mom and the teacher is not foreign, just a jp sensei who stayed in America. Lmao 🤣... My memories got jumbled.
Fun fact: if you ever played any Playstation (or at least looked at a PS controller) this is why the ⭕️ button is commonly used as a "confirm" option while the ❌️ button is usually used as a "reject" or "return" option in Japanese-made PlayStation games.
Weird that my first generation PSP had ❌️ as "Confirm" with ⭕️ as "Reject/Return" while my PS VITA had it switched, then my PS5 is the same with my PSP.
A teacher of mine who herself used to teach at a school in Japan explained this to us back in elementary, the reason why they do this is that(I don't know if it's only her perspective) they wanted the children to know that you can learn from your mistakes and that mistakes are normal.
Another opposite thing: in japan if the other car flashes it's headlights, it means he is giving you the right of way... in the philippines, if the other car flashes it's headlight it means he is NOT allowing you to pass as he will pass first.
Uhh, no? Flashing headlights can mean many things depending on the context It can mean "thanks", it can mean "let me pass thru", it can mean "go right on ahead" etc In other countries it can also mean police traps ahead to warn other drivers along with other things I've said. It's all about context
As others have said, it generally depends on the context. One quick flash can mean many things, for example, if the other driver is blinding me with the power of the fucking sun, flashing my headlights tells him to check his lights. Multiple flashes can indicate danger. If someone behind you is flashing you, they're going to overtake you. For my area specifically, when we approach a situation where one should yield, one flash means "go ahead", while two flashes means " I'll go first".
This got me confused back when I was a child but got it right away when I've watched anime I think that they circle correct answers. However I already forgot that they check wrong answers, I thought they cross it out
Im a Filipino and i can relate,we have been raised at school to check like that even the grade 9 still checks like ✓ not / and puts X instead of O, they got -5 since they forgot what their adviser told them
nah as a japanese, teachers didnt mark the test with small cute circles. Instead, they looked more like the number 9 with the tip slanted and they were always big. also, I'm pretty sure the koreans do this too
here in Brazil, right and wrong are check and X. I've seen ticks used by teacher to mark questions they've corrected, and a circle is usually used to highlight a specific error.
So true because my mom enrolled me to kumon and kumon is tutorial stuff abt math and reading and when the teacher checked my paper i saw its circle, and i know circle is wrong and it said there are no checks, and my teacher said it is all right and it made me confused until i found it it was the opposite of philipines. TUMITIRA AKO SA PILIPINAS SANDALI-
Funny thing is if you look at Playstation. Most regions use the X button to confirm while Japanese use the O button to confirm. I believe it's similar logic here. The lines are meant to be like a slash and not a checkmark.
Circles in japan refer to correct answer and triangles in japan are half correct and half wrong and those checks like the filipino ones are considered wrong answers
in my school the teachers would usually put a checkmark (or nothing) next to the correct questions and a cross or slash through the incorrect ones, if we got them half correct (multi answer/two-part) they would put "1/2" next to the question
PHilippines both uses ⭕ and ❌for wrong answer and ✔️ for right answer. The other one was just more popular than the x, but either way, the teacher have no say if you x a wrong answer and check right answer so long as there are checks.
Context: In Philippines, Check (√) is used if your answer is correct, Circle is used when your answer is wrong. But in Japan, It's the opposite. Japan uses Checks (√) if the answer is wrong, and circle, if it's correct. That's the reason it's the same score.
from the philippines, but i only check the correct answer and leaving the wrong answers blank (no mark) so it's easier for me to count the correct answers
When I was still in grade school, we had japanese students visit our school and did an activity and exchanged papers with them for checking. I was panicking a lot because I see my paper getting circles after circles. I was shy to tell them they were checking it wrong but I seeing myself getting a low score is scarier so I told them they are doing the opposite.
In Japan, Maru ○ is a symbol for correct/okay. That's why there's also a slang called "Okay maru" 「オッケーまる」. Maru is also used for censoring words. By adding a circle on the middle syllable like 「ス○ル」. Often censoring a brand or bad words. Surprisingly, they don't use X for wrong. However, a slash does mean crossing it out I guess.
I ran across the same thing teaching in Cambodia which uses a similar system. When I was in school in the US only wrong answers get a red mark making it possible to gauge how well you did by the amount of red on the page. Every time I see a paper with all the questions marked in red my first thought is that the poor kid got all the questions wrong.
Actually in the Philippines you can either ❎️ /⭕️ or writing the correct answer, it really depends on the student but for me I prefer ⭕️ and writing the answers it looks cleaner for me so yeah (hope you get it)
I remember watching Great Teacher Onizuka and I was so confused in the part where he took the test with the students and his paper was all circles.. and then his student asked what Onizuka thinks his score was and Onizuka confidently said "perfect, of course".. I watched this more than 20 years ago so I don't remember the students' names anymore but I still remember many details of the story
Wait she is showing how a teacher corrects in two different 😳 countries. 😅 so basically the counry in right correct is the / and wrong is circle in japan its vice versa.
As a Filipino, whenever I watch anime scenes where a student shows their test papers, I often get confused because my brain thought that the dumb ones get the most scores while the smart ones don't. It was only when I realize that marking are "flip-flopped" in Japan, as in flip-flopped to me where circles are now correct and ticks are wrong.
I mean the cross makes sense to be on the wrong, when you write something wrong and want to delete it you just cross over it. Circling the correct makes perfect sense.
In the Philippines the crossed out is supposed to be a checkmark to indicate if it is correct, the teacher just makes a atngled line without the front tail. The circle can also be exchanged by a X mark since both means it is wrong and circling the mistake forces the students to focus more on the things they make mistakes in
For those who's heads still up in the clouds, not understanding what's going on, basically a circle means your answers is corrwct and a check means your answers are wrong in Korean quizes and tests
This is why I never understand Nobita's test paper🤔🤔
I opened comment section to write this comment only
😅😅
Same 😂 I first knew how they mark via Doraemon series
literally frr😭😭
I was going to write the exact same thing
No but still he got zero how?
Meanwhile my brain: “Why are they marking everything as wrong”
Same though, cause circling is a norm in Philippines thats our polite way of indicating it's wrong 😅
Fr😂😂
Finally understood why nobita's paper had more ticks than circles
thanks! hehe
😂😂
Nobita really comes into mind when the topic of bad test scores appears 😂
yes his test papers are "raining"
And the "aligator"
ALLIGATOR
As a Filipino, I got confused for a second but then realized
✓-correct in my country
X- wrong in my country
I thought that was the norm. For all countries. But clearly, I was wrong
In my country is C for correct and E for wrong
@@jalexsilva8162 where are you from?
Here where i live its like this:
An spiral-looking thing for correct and an X for wrong
@@halfdawn961 Brazil

Not when most answers are wrong.
I understand this from doraemon 💀😭
you got it right ❤️
OHH THATS WHY NOBITA'S TEST PAPERS HAD MORE TICKS THAN CIRCLES

@@speedyshorty._s yea
as a kumon student in the philippines, you will never understand how confused i was when i saw how my kumon teacher checked my worksheets.
Now I know why nobita's answer sheet showed correct sign and he still got zero
perfectly correcr! q
What the philippines and this country is same spelling and its correct but omg they have that same spelling
In America, they leave it blank if it’s right and put an x or slash if it’s wrong.
That would be confusing no? No marks at all
@@zales6480 No, I think it makes it easier to find where you got wrong answers, you just have to look at wherever there are pen marks.
That's how it's typically done for us in the US also
So basically you know you did good if there's barely pen marks on your paper
I learned this from detective conan. The mom almost killed a teacher who was foreign because he forgot that checking in japan is different.
Edit: it was a dad not a mom and the teacher is not foreign, just a jp sensei who stayed in America. Lmao 🤣... My memories got jumbled.
I was so happy to see someone bringing up detective conan again after all these years.
@@Yuna-.I was just about to write this! A very good anime though

@@Yuningthericeball i actually don't remember. I believe it's in one of the earliest seasons.
Yeah, here in Vietnam too, I was ask by my assisstant teacher why I marked all the answers wrong hahahahaha
Im not japanese but I always thought ⭕️ is right and / is false
Yh that's how I do it in England
In the Caribbean it's the opposite
Also in Indonesia
From where I'm from ⭕ is wrong and ✔️ is correct.
It would mean error to me

Strangely, this is usually reversed in western localizations.
Weird that my first generation PSP had ❌️ as "Confirm" with ⭕️ as "Reject/Return" while my PS VITA had it switched, then my PS5 is the same with my PSP.
I knew the Japan one because of Kumon, instead of checks on the number they encircle it, and if you perfect one page you get a big circle
Id always see it in anime but I'd always get so confused 😭
Now it makes much more sense
that's true 🎉
meanwhile me:
1. (your answer) ✓
2. (your answer) ×
3. (your answer) ✓
So you are saying that Nobita never got a single question wrong..... Because he would always get zero.....
The dude never studied.
hahahaha he only knows doraemon by the name but never watched.
Nobita was kinda done dirty once...there was a pic of his test paper, and there was a "5+7=12" in it, yet even that was counted wrong...
Lol😅😂😅
I learned this bc of kumon, the correct answers were not circled but the wrongs were tick marked
Meanwhile in India😂 : big ass ✔️, horizontal (🎗️) for a whole page 💀
Same in poland
Same in philippines
😂🙌🏼
Same in Sri Lanka
Same in malaysia

@@NewoOwen7 Same here
Uhh, no? Flashing headlights can mean many things depending on the context
It can mean "thanks", it can mean "let me pass thru", it can mean "go right on ahead" etc
In other countries it can also mean police traps ahead to warn other drivers along with other things I've said.
It's all about context
As others have said, it generally depends on the context.
One quick flash can mean many things, for example, if the other driver is blinding me with the power of the fucking sun, flashing my headlights tells him to check his lights.
Multiple flashes can indicate danger.
If someone behind you is flashing you, they're going to overtake you.
For my area specifically, when we approach a situation where one should yield, one flash means "go ahead", while two flashes means " I'll go first".
flashing headlights here in manila means "fuck you"
Just like in video games, their confirm button is the red circle whereas internationally (ph included) the cross button is the confirm button.
Ah, that is why I was confused by the Philipines way, because in the country where I live, it's like the Japan way
It was really confusing for me too at first hehe
when they circle and marked i was so confuse on which was right or wrong 😂
This got me confused back when I was a child but got it right away when I've watched anime I think that they circle correct answers. However I already forgot that they check wrong answers, I thought they cross it out

bro got that reversal technique in japanese
I think I'll get a perfect score when a japanese teacher checks my quiz
This also as same to me when my advisor did this
I finally understand how the Philippines's grading system works lol
nah as a japanese, teachers didnt mark the test with small cute circles. Instead, they looked more like the number 9 with the tip slanted and they were always big.
also, I'm pretty sure the koreans do this too
I mean when I was in school they would just not mark anything if it was correct. Save ur marker!
Same omg the first time I saw I was like yo teach did you not mark my whole paper at all??? (Yes I am an over-achiever)
This is how test papers are checked in Kumon (Japanese method of checking)
Now I can understand. When I was a kid I got confused why nobita got 0 when his teacher gave him ✅ mark in his test paper.😅
this is so true! hehehe
here in Brazil, right and wrong are check and X. I've seen ticks used by teacher to mark questions they've corrected, and a circle is usually used to highlight a specific error.
Defination - They took o for the right sign and took tick for the wrong
So true because my mom enrolled me to kumon and kumon is tutorial stuff abt math and reading and when the teacher checked my paper i saw its circle, and i know circle is wrong and it said there are no checks, and my teacher said it is all right and it made me confused until i found it it was the opposite of philipines.
TUMITIRA AKO SA PILIPINAS SANDALI-
Wait until you guys know that we use 🐙 in my country
Sometimes in the Philippines when checking you'll put O or X in the number then the correct answer
That girl came out of nowhere in the end
Thats why futaro get all circle but with perfect score
sometimes in the states circles and ticks are both to indicate incorrect answers! most correct answers don’t have any markings on the question
I'm Filipino, and I really thought that the way we correct and wrong quizzes were the same with every other country. Surprising! :D
Thanks :) It was really surprising :)

Usa: only use slash to mark wrong to waste less ink 🗿🗿🗿
Imagine if Australia were being upside down on the marking
Correct spelling of those wrong's are:

In my experience it depends on the teacher, most of mine would do a slash for wrong answers and just leave correct answers alone
