 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
"Itsuki, you have dishonored our family" "I'm sorry father" "If that's true then cut your hair" "but I don't have ha--" "then cut your tail!" Is Seppuku, not sudoku. This is a sudoku:

Those Americans... always taking everything so lightly.
But still, studying there sounds nice.

Yeppers, thems was the joke. "You're a disgrace for our entire clan, son-san. There's already a 3 in that row!" "Me love you loooong time, daddy-dono." "Oh, I can't be angry with you if you play the cute-kun!"

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
By making 100s, which was darn near impossible for most people. And we really had a ton more tests with that grading system to balance out the poorer grades.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
But it's been established that Itsuki is a great student who, in the past, would be the one to set the curve. So to assume he gets 100 or darn near it on every other test is not a long shot.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
Itsuki's parent = my parents in nutshell. they expect 90 and when I get 90 all they say is good job,,,,  I got 98 on IT class, what ma parents say is "well done,,". I laughed soooo hard on this strip

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
You expect to get rewarded for something you're supposed to do?

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
incorrect. a 90 is above average, so "something you're supposed to do" is get a B or even a C. an A is something that should be rewarded.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
You should get good grades for yourself, not for your parents. That being said Itsuki is a bit too stereotypical. :I

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
you should also get a promotion at work for yourself, or graduate college for yourself, but people still celebrate and congratulate you.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
I'm not saying you shouldn't get congratulated, but you shouldn't expect it. It's nice if they do, but it is certainly not mandatory.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
When I was younger, I cared a lot about my parents' opinion about my grades, which often led me to downfalls since I'm a person who takes words too deep into his heart. That's why I started to think about my own satisfaction of grades I got, therefore I knew what to expect from myself and if I was dissatisfied, where I should correct myself. Remember, you study mainly for yourself. Not only for your parents. Because you forge your own future.

 Re: Arc 57: Testing Grounds
I stopped trying to make my parents proud when I figured out it was impossible. Thank God I care enough about academics to still try my hardest in school.
