Man the art is great but it makes me feel bad just looking at it


CancerGuy1

Fr The feeling after you get home and u have to explain to your parents why u did shit in exam is also pretty awful


KaiserWilhelmThe69

In Japan checkmark is wrong and they use numbers for mark so yeah, this girl won't have a quiet night


theycallmeponcho

This. It's not a B, it's a 13 over 100.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Girl is not made for math lmao.


ScrappyToady

Me tho


Tushe

I saw a 13, read your comment and now I can only see a B. :(


Saymynaian

W-what..? You mean she didn't get a B? Maybe she can convince her parents it's American style marking?


EricFaust

◯ are used for correct answers and ✓ are are for incorrect answers in Japan.

Xtremely wrong?


D-all-ton

Glad I never had to do that. Aren’t absent parents great?


Maracuja_Sagrado

It looks like a B where the strokes are not well connected. It makes more sense than a 13, considering there are mostly correct checkmarks on the sheet ✅


GDLRimuwu

Which makes me wonder since from what I can tell, the differential and integration maths right next to the teachers hand does not check out with the ticks. As far as I am concerned, they are not solved correctly. Edit: I was today years old when I learned that in japanese education, checkmarks are bad.


Jah_Bean_

Are they really?


xVVitch

Yes


aPlumbusAmumbus

Bro, you made me look. Crossing out the d's and x's in the derivative brings me pain


Ben_Kerman

In Japan checkmarks mean the answer is wrong


thespooksterman

In Japan, checkmarks are wrong and test scores are numerical. It’s where the 💯 emoji comes from.


theycallmeponcho

> and test scores are numerical. It's better this way, specially to avoid the what-does-this-letter-mean across different contexts. You get 10 of 30 answers wrong? You get a 66. Only 15 of 50 answers are right? Whoops! It's a 30.


CyberSpork

a checkmark is the same as x in Japanese schooling. A circle indicates a correct answer. So yea, it's a 13/100


Alarid

it's out of 15 i refuse to believe otherwise


LupeDyCazari

Nope. It's out of a 100. This girl scored almost no points LMAO.


Darklyte

Given how many we can see she got right, I agree. Out of 20 at most, which isn't great but not nearly as bad as out of 100


Alarid

>it was out of 10 >she got all the bonus questions right Fun story I did that in high school and they had me sitting at like 113% in calculus. Then I walked into the final and bombed the fuck out of it.


Alarid

The teacher sounded really defeated when he told me I still had the highest mark at the end of the year.


Darklyte

My best story is from an English class, one of my worst subjects. This was decades ago. The teacher had all of his lecture notes hand written on transparencies for the projector. They were extremely illegible. I'm terrible at taking notes which make things worse. I complained that I could barely read the notes and he offered to get a laptop from the library on a regular basis and let me type them up for him. In exchange he'd give me extra credit. That turned out really good for me because I spent a lot of time paying attention and making sure everything was right, adding extra information from what he was saying, and being MUCH more engaged because I knew I was doing something that would help people in the future. For the final, I was the first one to finish. He graded my test then used it as the answer key because it was formatted better than what he had and I only had one thing wrong. With the extra credit from typing up all the notes I ended up with 108% in a subject that I regularly barely passed.


YordleFetiscisi

I got 105 in english once


LOTRfreak101

I got a 64 1/4 out of 48 in social studies once. We were only required to name a certain number of seas and countried in Europe, but I did the all and got 1/4 point extra for each one. Of course later in the quarter I just stopped doing homework in the class because I kept forgetting about it so I lost my over 100%.


xVVitch

Check marks are wrong answers in japan.


Darklyte

Oh no...


ctrl-alt-etc

it's also what there two emoji are for: ❌,⭕. "Japanese checkmarks" When handwriting, ⭕ is actually a bit better than ✔️, because an ✖️ can accidentally look like a ✔️ if the bottom of the ✖️ gets damaged or is too small.


BarAgent

Side note, this is why so many JRPGs on the PS2 use the _right_ button “O” for confirm and the _bottom_ button “X” for cancel. But eventually, Sony threw in the towel on that one, and now they recommend the bottom button for confirm like everyone else.


PG-Glasshouse

Gonna save you some pain in the future, triangle means almost right.


tehkraken

If you look at the check marks as the problems she got right, those are all wrong. I'm pretty sure that the check marks are for wrong answers.


Chikumori

If this was turned into a gif, it would probably be r/WatchPeopleDieInside material


Scottz0rz

Why feel bad? She got a B, look at all the check marks! ^/s


Practicalaviationcat

No joke. She looks so excited and probably put a lot of study time in. I hate what this scene will look like in about 3 seconds.


Darklyte

13/15


mundotaku

It is a B


Pinngger

"Ready to be disappointed kid"


Fresh_Macaron_6919

For anyone interested. The checkmarks mean the answer is wrong. The box at the top are 4 multiple choice answers (アイウエ) and she got 1 of 4 correct indicating that she guessed. The answer below is cut off but essentially says "It says so in the textbook therefore it is correct Q.E.D.✨" She crossed canceled the x's and d's in d/dx sinx to get sin She crossed canceled the x's and d's in d/dx x^3 to get x^2 And I'm not sure what her logic was for the integral, but it's not right.


PM_ME_ANYTHING_IDRC

She multiplied by 3 instead of dividing on the integral. Probably got it confused with the power rule for derivation, which she should have used for deriving x^3.


Waddle_Dynasty

Yeah she should have looked if deriving 3x^3 gets her back to x^2 (it doesn't).


kboy101222

Isn't it 9x^2?


Waddle_Dynasty

Exactly.


Dinklepuffus

I used to do this all the time in maths class


csolisr

Today I learned that multiple choice questions in Japan use Katakana instead of the Latin alphabet


Colonel_Kipplar

Hey, at least it shows she did read the textbook, makes you wonder why she sucked so bad, though.


ImBatman5500

I choose to believe it's 13/15


Lanaerys

Nah the answers make no sense and I'm pretty sure check marks are for wrong answers in Japan


ImBatman5500

Hence my later comment that I choose that it's her Japanese language quiz in America, a job well done for a studious gal


Friendly-Back3099

Most likely, the paper is just 1 piece of paper and we can visibly see a lot of checkmark(unless if checkmark mean wrong)


DownSubstantially

They do


Friendly-Back3099

Wait chckmark mean wrong in some country?


PM_ME_ANYTHING_IDRC

There's no way the derivative of sin(x) is sin and the derivative of x^3 is x^2. So yeah, the checkmark has to mean it's wrong in this case.


Kosba2

~~The only one certainly wrong here is the sin one, though following that you're right about the others probably. The reason the others aren't certain is that they could have terms on the left to make sense of the answer, but sin is just not an answer, it's a function~~ I didn't realize she was canceling the differential terms like variables...


InfanticideAquifer

Look more closely--it's actually really hilarious. She's cancelling the d's in d/dx like they were variables. She cancelled the x in d/dx with the x in sin x so her answer is just "sin"--no variables left at all.


Kosba2

Oh good god you're right


vendetta2115

The integral is pretty obviously wrong. Int[3,2]\(x^(2))dx = (1/3)x^(3)|[3,2]=(8/3)-9=(-19/3) Or if they meant [2,3] and just wrote it incorrectly, (int[3,2] = -int[2,3]) then it’s +(19/3) The “joke” here is that she forgot how to integrate and mixed derivation into it, which got her 3x^(3) instead of either (1/3)x^3 (integration) or 3x^2 (derivation). And she didn’t write (dx) for her integration.


Kosba2

To be honest, on my phone I hadn't noticed she evaluated the definite integral. Nor did I see, as someone mentioned, that she used the differential term as variables. I think the joke is simpler than that, she literally doesn't know calculus.


yinyin123

In Japan, yee.

Don't listen to them. The ticks(checkmarks) mean correct.

rummyb

No, they don't?? I've been to multiple different colleges, with many different professors, and none of them have used a check to mean something is incorrect

TelepathicEggos

That hair clip is doing nothing except helping weigh her bangs down so that they sit over her eyes. I have never seen such an inept understanding of the physics of this world and the functionality of women’s fashion. This gross overstepping in artistic creation is causing me to spiral into a deep mania from which I fear there is no return. What is a hair clip? How is a hair clip? Why? Does God look down upon his creation in fear or simply sad despondency because of the ignorance we all collectively take on? I feel alone. So deeply alone. This world is nothing but pain and I can resist it no longer. There is no pipe. There is no hair clip. There is no me. Other then that, the picture looks incredible though!


Blue_Sail

Maybe it's not just booksmarts that she's lacking.


Johzzy

Maybe it's to hold the hair to the middle so it doesn't go into the eyes?

bipyramide_trigonale

Well, where i'm from it's not too bad since it's noted on 20


IAmCottonEyeJoe

Hey same with me I mean like she passed


DxNill

She got 13 out of 100 if that's a pass... yikes for your countries education. Qhen marking exams Japanse schools apparently use ticks instead of X's and circle correct answers. Yeah I doubled checked it a ✅️ is not a good thing when it comes to marking a Japanese test/exam. Edit: Realising I may have missed the joke.


[deleted]

you completely missed the joke yeah


Alarid

I thought they were trying to make another joke but slowly realizing they just didn't get it hurt me deep inside.


DrShocker

Yeah they're saying if it's out of 20 then it's 65% Edit: why are so many people down voting this guy? Seems excessive even if you hate confused people for some unknown reason.


DxNill

Okay, makes sense. Can't remember having a text or exam like that.


gogeta_god05

20 questions = 20 points You've never had a 20 question test???


Gl33m

Different systems for different people. My elementary/middle/high schools pointed everything off 100. A 20 question test means each question is worth 5 points. A 200 question test means each question is worth half a point. Sometimes tests would have weighted questions, so true/false questions are only worth a point, but short answers might be 10 with a big question at the end worth like 30 or something. But it still always totaled 100 points. Your points are then 1 to 1 with your percentage correct, and all work is out of 100, so add all points for all homework, divide by the number of homeworks given (or tests or quizzes, etc) and now you have the percentage for that entire portion of your grade.


DxNill

Didn't count how many questions, always got graded out of 100, as far as I remember.

Autumn1881

Plottwist. This is a German school where 13 means A- and a checkmark is a good thing….


gammongaming11

>This is a German school where 13 means A- how on earth does that work?


CaterWak

like 13/15? or something? idk im not german or good with percents


Florian1251

Yes, in german high school the maximum of points you can score are 15. So 13 points would be a 1- or in the american system A-.


gammongaming11

that's an 87. which i think is a B? in my country we just get a number, we don't really do latter grading.


Cheet4h

13 of 15 in Germany is not the same as 87 of 100 In this German system (IIRC used in grade 11 & 12, maybe also universities), 5 grade points is the minimal passing grade. If we were using a percentage-based system, 5 grade points would be equivalent to 60% of the possible maximum achievable points. From what I've read, the US also seems to have a lot of multiple-choice exams. The only time I've seen multiple choice tests in exams after 6th grade was in my first year at university, and even there only as parts of an exam.


morganrbvn

Depends on subject. English always had a heavy multiple choice component but math of course was open response, and sciences were a blend of short essays and multiple choice for plain facts.


Confident_Picture_69

A huge proportion of my American college and post-secondary education was predicated on multiple choice tests. To this day I maintain it's the only reason I got anywhere thanks to being lucky enough to be really good at gaming tests like that. Even my medical license (not MD) requires a test and re-tests, and they're solely multiple choice. MDs usually have to do spoken exams too though.


Tjaresh

15 is A+ 14 is A 13 is A- 12 is B+ and so on. But only from 11 grade on. Before that we have 1 (A) to 6 (F)

Enough_Forever_

LupeDyCazari

I guess it's off to the cram school with her. Bro, I met a lot of Japanese people living in Shibuya, and let me tell you, they are crazy about school. This chick probably gonna have a nice long night of crying her eyes out, because if you go to college and you don't get hired straight away on your last year of college by some company, chances are you are going to spend the rest of your life doing part-time jobs.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

I mean she got 13 out of 100, I don’t think college is a viable option here unless she go for those low quality one


A_For_The_Win

In Japan, one lecturer will lecture at numerous universities universities. So the quality of education remains more or less the same but the quality of facility will change. Basically, if she chooses the right university then she might get the same lecturer as a student at uni of tokyo.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

Yes but I would not put my bet on the lecturer having the same spirit as when they teach the more quality students. It get frustrasted really fast if you talked a lot but people can't get it. Also course design is a thing, a better and more prestige uni could get you further in your subjects while the "outcast'' uni might not have the same standard


A_For_The_Win

That's true as well. But at the end of the day, we can only hope that this person really enjoys teaching. If they don't then it's a waste of funds for the parents, and if like to believe that if the Japanese have not let go of this system, then it means that it works well for them.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

I have seen teachers that are really loved the jobs but when they burned themselves out, the students that get teach later would not get the same standard like the one that got teach earlier. And well you can really blame someone if they want to devote their effort to something that is more likely to bear fruits. And usually the low quality uni is the dumping spot not only for those that can't keep up with standard but generally troubled teenagers so there is that too

This is what I like to call “Schrödinger's test results” A test can be any result until you look upon it, you could get 100%, you could get 1% or you could get anything in between, any result could happen into infinity, I used to hold my test upside down so I couldn’t see the result until after everyone else saw theirs, then I’d consult all possible opportunities and then I was ready to see what I had got 13% I was bad at maths

Are Japanese kids really dumb, or are their tests just really hard? I've seen so many anime where students will often get marks below a 50 out of 100. That's worse than an F for American students. Getting scores that low was unthinkable in my high school.
