Lmfao... our german teacher told us he read something about asian kids in a newspaper rofl. He showed it to us. xD Lemme try translating it 8D

"Asian students are the best in maths and in science"

Nothing seems to shake the supremacy of asian students in maths and in science. The fourth edition of the study TIMSS(Trends in International Maths and Science Study), conducted by Boston College and publicized on Tuesday, 9th December, puts them once again in first place: the students in elementary/primary school from Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan dominate in Maths while students in secondary/w.e-it's-called-in-England-my-brain's-not-working-right-now school from Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have the best scores in Science.
This study has tested 425000 students at two ages: the 9 year old kids in 36 countries and the 13 year old teens in 48 countries. Even in the United States, where the study seperates results by ethnicity origine(I know, doesn't make much sense), children of asian origine have grades much better than the average grades of american children. The United States, who pay a lot of attention to these results, records some progress in maths but none in science.

Imma continue this tomorrow. HAPPY BDAY JAYJAY <33333 =^-^=

&the beauty.

The name's Charmaine :D Currently 14, going on 15(5th nov). I'm just the typical stubborn and foolish girl who walks into walls whenever she's on her two feet... but I'm not going to say more about that =^-^=

I just love the cool breeze blowing past your face in autumn... or spring. And while you walk you can enjoy the beautiful scenery ^.^
Now, what do I hate...? Insects, mainly mosquitoes and bugs I don't recognize, but butterflies are okay. I guess I don't hate anything else?

¤ To be able to go back to Singapore...
¤ Preferred job, doctor, so I can help people out
¤ Beat my damn rival ¬¬

JAYJAY! ^-^
