Japan of all places doesn't hope to school children at home. Transferring schools is another matter altogether, don't move goalposts.

How do you grade the academics of a child that hasn't even been properly given academic knowledge yet? How do you tell a generation of children that they're not good enough? How do you make someone that hasn't even been taught to read properly how to study?

Has this board gone mad?

>>158750680
My mother taught me letters and numbers before first grade, but even then it was hardly a head-start compared to children I studied with.

>>158750808
I don't know what exact is being tested, but you can definitely test for problem solving. That's a thing even children do.

>>158749614
I'm not sure what the issue is here. Certain schools will sell to prospective parents that their school is the school which will get them into the most reputable of high schools which will then elevate them into the best university so that their kid can succeed against the hundred of other kids who are also incredibly fucking talented.

It's ultimately just how the schools sell themselves to parents who either want their children to be the best student they can be or parents who just want the ability to snob others because their kid is better than yours in the most humble way possible.

It doesn't hurt the school make money of this reputation they've built up and it makes sense for them to promote exclusivity of the best to make the people who get in waste more money than the average family.

Evan Spiegel didn't make $4b by his mid-20s by slaving away at some company where they culturally only promote people with a 20 year tenure.

>>158750984
I'm sure (((Spiegel's))) Innovations were the only reason he made those billions, surely it couldn't have been because he was well connected.

>>158750808
I'm not talking about home schooling. I'm talking about gradually interacting with the kid on a daily basis causing them to gradually learn shit. Just like what happens in this anime with Sana.
Have you ever heard of an IQ test? While general knowledge is required for private school tests, they can also measure a kids general problem solving ability with tests.
How old do you think children in Elementary school are? Of course they know how to read.

I don't know what kind of shit hole you grew up in, but in the first world children are taught all kinds of basic stuff before going to school.

>>158751159
You learn letters and sounds in pre-school, proper writting and reading only comes when you've gotten into elementary school. That's for now, but think for a moment that this is Japan. A 7 year old Japanese child probably only knows the Hira/Kata and a handful of Kanji at best.

I understand problem solving, but how would you apply such a test? Certainly not on paper.

>>158750984
Anyone who made a billion dollars had to go through connected channels. It's just a matter of THAT large a source of income only being possible through going through conventional methods.Evan Spiegel had to wear stuffy suits and talk to rich old people and make conference calls and all sorts of boring shit to get where he's at, same as everyone else. He probably made connections to the industry, like most people, at his Ivy League school. It's no different, the timeline is just quicker.

>>158750255
>which puts them into a position where they're one of the leaders of nippon
Why though? Not everyone is that smart, and that's not really a problem. If someone can make a living and be happy doing what they want then that should be enough. Children shouldn't be shamed because they aren't on the track to becoming millionaires, since realistically only a very small fraction of extremely self motivated people will do that anyway.

Enjoy what you do. If not, just stop; don't stay there and rot.

These fucking parents who see their children as an extention of themselves and/or as trophies to show off should be sent off to reeducation camps.

>>158751304
>>I understand problem solving, but how would you apply such a test? Certainly not on paper.
>which of the given rectangles goes into the corner of this figure made of 16 (or 9) rectangles (AKA IQ test)

Public elementary school here also use entrance test. For private elementary school, it depends on your school. If you were on their private kindergarten, then you could apply to their elementary school without test. This also applies for junior high school and senior high school too in private school.

>>158751526
It sounds dumb when you put it like that. The issue is that this mentality is treating life like a game. Being a CEO isn't a "winning" position because society could not function if that's what everybody was aiming for.

>>158751526
Finally someone with common sense. Unfortunately, it's not that easy because of >>158750961 . Every parent wants their children to succeed, so they will give them the best schooling they can afford. What doesn't make sense is that you'd start to despise your children for not being underachievers, even before they had the chance to actually learn anything.

Trying to seriously rank children that can barely read or write is seriously fucked up.

School system that doesn't let children be children and forces too high expectations and unreasonable effort to ''succeed'' in is bad. Especially if it that young age becomes a matter using money to gain advantage, which is something the children have absolutely zero control over.

Nothing wrong with high requirements for entering good high schools and universities, at that age you can require them to go through grueling entrance exams and requirements since they can fully comprehend their situation and plan for it.

Man, I see in today's society the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.

Granted I am in the 3rd world, but I did go to a private pre-school and Elementary at this time, so it shouldn't have been different from first world education by much.

>>158752239
I often read some disturbing data regarding American education. Recently people were parroting a study about how 7% of all Americans believed Chocolate Milk came from brown cows, and 45% of all Americans were not certain where it came from. Supposedly the majority of Americans cannot point out where the USA is in the world map either. I bet you'd get similar results in any 3rd world country.

>>158752398

India is quite an extreme example. It's literally the worst place in the world, after all.

I am not even saying it should be a strict regulation, just that people ought to be checked before being "okay"d to have children. The actual problem is enforcing this. What do you do if someone becomes illegally pregnant? Can the government force people to unwillingly have an abortion? That certainly sounds like something you wouldn't dream of proposing, not in today's world at least.

>>158752969

Family planning is a very important part of any government. If people are having more children than they can sustain and suddenly there isn't enough schools for everyone, it's obviously a problem. Of course, this is yet another extreme example.

The central thing is that one should not have children than they cannot sustain themselves. Because people become sexually active earlier compared to previous centuries, and the cost of living for each person has gone up, it's become an obvious problem for society.

>Family planning is a very important part of any government
No, it literally isn't. Family planning is called family planning for a reason: because it's none of the government's god damn business.

Frankly, I don't trust any government to be able to sensibly restrict breeding rights. What happens when a government decides to start restricting the breeding rights of those who do not share their ideology? What happens when one decides that a certain race is undesirable? Giving any government the power to prevent people from carrying on their genes or wiping out certain peoples from existence is a horror that this world can do without.

They don't even work hard, they just waste time spectacularly and don't go home.

Hopefully this meme dies faster than the population. Having a million kids you can't support like Spics and Niggers is NOT a good thing.

Pretty much. Once the old people die, Japan will be fine. An island smaller than California doesn't need 130 million people. They just need to spread out of Tokyo a little more.

>>158757274
You don't have to care for someone to help them anon. I say caring with the connotation it carries, not just helping someone. If you give a homeless guy a dollar that doesn't mean you care or empathize with him, you could just be doing it because you think it's right or because it makes you feel like a good person. People can do the right thing for different reasons. It's not my fault you lack the ability to critically think.

Also when I said society I implied mostly that special groups take care of people through donations across the city/state/nation, not that everyone in the street will help their neighbor when their house gets fucked.

>>158757610
>>158757792
This whole thing about bringing in more people or telling others to make more kids is just corporatists speaking, so they can kill wages, cherry-pick applicants, etc...

>>158757460
Well the germans have a different working culture of work hard for your 9 hours and then go home and they aren't breeding either. Fertility rates are generally just a function of affluence

>>158757792
You realize that once the old people die there literally won't be enough people to man most jobs in Japan, right? That's the point of population growth and why Japan is going through a crisis (and despite autistic fags denying it, even the government of Japan recognizes it as an issue)

Which means that these young people will have to be already in position to take over for most of these jobs; a lot of which are menial-labor positions due to how fucked up retirement and job culture tends to be in Japan.

They literally cannot spread out of Tokyo any further because there's a lot of towns that have had their entire population fucking DIE due to old age. And since most of the jobs are centralized in the cities, along with an already-absurd amount of hours you have to spend at work people are going to move and live as close as possible. I mean I'm not surprised /pol/fags would be so retarded as to think they understand the crisis Japan is going through.

Because not only do they work like shit, but Japan's entrance exams are notoriously shit for actually determining worthy people.

Consider the following: In Japan you study your ass off to pass an entrance exam to enter college. Once you pass that exam you can do literally nothing and pass college. Japanese students once they get college do absolutely nothing.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/12/02/reference/entrance-exams-get-failing-grade/#.Up00QGQW2kQ

>According to statistics compiled in 2007 by the University of Tokyo’s Center for Research on University Management and Policy, 9.7 percent of university students study less than an hour a week. Only 0.3 percent of U.S. students are so unengaged. Also, 58.4 percent of U.S. university students study more than 11 hours a week, which is true of only 14.8 percent of students in Japan.

So what the fuck kind of valuable metric are you getting out of these entrance exams? You're fucking someone up early on in their life and then at the point where you're supposed to be in your intellectual prime you're not encouraged to use it at all.

>>158755603
>but don't go full retard and live your life around it or try to kill or convert others because of it
Maybe not conversion, but you may have missed the fanatical devotion to their living God Emperor that drove the soldiers of the IJA to murderous behavior in WW2.

>>158758335
That's my point, they work shorter hours but work very hard, complete opposite of the japs who spend 16 hours doing fuck all at the office, yet have the same fertility issue

I asked for above 70. Japan's life expectancy is a lot higher than 65 or 70. You also failed to comment on pension burden falling on the current generation, or cost of care for elderly. Even with your numbers, an overwhelming number of people above the age of 65 aren't working. Did you even read what you posted? I swear to God, the people that randomly cry about /pol/ are the stupidest fucking people alive.

>>158758888
>Lunch break
Even for blue-collar workers in fucking Pooland it's counted into work time.

>>158758888
>How much time you take off doesn't have anything to do with work ethic

Exams are a great way to filter out the lazy retards.

>>158754346
Well, we all know of the Japanese Shakespeare. Most of those cultures you list weren't even organic- they had to learn not to be banana republic tier form usl

>>158758895
>Even with your numbers, an overwhelming number of people above the age of 65 aren't working

Are you retarded? Do you not grasp how numbers work? We're still talking 1 in 5 people above the age of 65 are working.

And I did not comment on those because they were unrelated to the topic at hand, which you said people 70+ aren't working. I brought up a contradictory worker and cited data, then you decided to autistically whine and move the goalposts.

>>158758865
Because I'm pointing out the absurdity of having entrance exams for children in order to have basic education vs entrance exams for college where you get to fuck off and do jack shit afterwards.

>>158758997
Why do you think college in Japan is viewed as one massive spring break?

>>158758997
Long-term projects are better at filtering out lazy retards
If you're good at studying, you can cram the day before exams and still do good but long-term projects require more forethought and time management

>>158758458
You honestly think their devotion to their Emperor led them to do that? Not the fact that it was the perfect circumstances for the dark side of humanity to come out?

>>158753354
>Are there countries where this is not a thing?
I only had the equivalent to that once in my life and it was when i had to go to a catholic high school, once i was in it never happened again.

How do you start doing what you know should do, have the resources at hand, and are even things you are interested on doing and want to do, but never get to start doing anything and instead waste away the days doing absolutely nothing productive?

>>158759146
I said that people above 70 aren't working, so you responded by showing that 1/5 of people above 65 are working. Old people working won't solve the problem. They're costly, and frankly are prone to making more mistakes. Their generation is also the one that loves the shitty work practices that prevent people from actually having the time to spend their money (people in Tokyo have buttloads of money saved, but never spend it). Looks like your "research" consisted of reading a few newspaper articles and then talking out your ass a whole lot.

>>158759381
That's why japan needs refugees and inmigrants, they can't possibly bear the burden of their elderly alone.

>>158759192
>If you're good at studying, you can cram the day before exams
This, I got into top uni by learning for the last two weeks. (Though I only needed maths and physcics and they don't require much cramming.)

>>158759434
Fuck you, Merkel. Ruin your own country.

>>158759381
I responded with showing that not only 1/5th of the people over 65 are working, but that there was a man I directly quoted who is over 70 and still working. So why don't you back up your data with citations fag, since I've provided more than you have so far.

And that's right. You know why those shitty practices exist? Because not only are they not retiring sooner (and thus enforcing their will on lower-level employees), but they have to work shitty hours at shitty pay. And you're right that they're costly and fuck up a lot more. But guess what: When you have a declining population with less people than open positions, you start filling those slots with anyone you can get your hands on. So take your pick

>Employ the elderly
>Employ immigrants
>Increase population growth

And considering how shitty some of their industries (such as Software Development) are? 3 likely won't help them compete. Not with how low it is now.

>>158758575
Nope, not anymore

Please stop baiting /pol/.

>>158759544
>I showed you that a small fraction of people 5 years younger than the cutoff you gave are working
Just so you know, average age of retirement is 70 for guys. And again, you still haven't even pretended to comment on the cost of care for that age group. Which generation do you think promoted those practices that fucked everything up? I'll give you a hint, it's the ones that promoted the idea of seniority over skill, time in office over efficiency, and didn't save up on their own for retirement. If Japan didn't have those old people taxing their system, they wouldn't need to fill more jobs because they'd have no need for that utterly fucking retarded meme of infinite growth.
