Everyone has this theory that most Asians are extremely intelligent, now don't get me wrong, most of them are. The difference is the type of intelligence.
I know that almost all Asians are extremely intelligent when it comes to subjects like maths or other numerical subjects, but i also know that when it comes to applying the skills to life, they aren't that great at it. Your immediate thought will be that I'm wrong, but am I really? Even although they Japanese and Koreans have highly developed technological sectors in the world, they don't have much other than this.
I'm currently go to school in South Africa, where there are yet again a select group of Asians which appear to be more intelligent than anyone else. By going to school with them I have been able to see how they change and in some cases crack under the pressure very easily.
Specifically one student in my grade was doing abnormally well in Maths, Advance Programmed Maths and Accounting (all numerical subjects) last year. But strangely this year that students performance has dropped dramatically, especially since we started to deal with more practical/ life situations.
My theory is that the Asians are being indoctrinated. They are literally being brainwashed with mathematics from a very young age. Because of this they are able to excel with maths, but when it comes to applying the skills learned they fail.
Ultimately my point is that Asians are taught from a young age everything and anything about Mathematics, but this won't help them as they aren't able to apply these skills to the real world. In a way this shows s how messed up the schooling system is. Asians might be good when it comes to the maths and techno world, but when it comes to what matters, many can break under the pressure.
