Successful completion of this ordeal enables them to stand up to the tremendous pressures of the Japanese school system.Up before dawn, drilled before eating, constantly quizzed, prodded and harassed to learn by rote, these kids are on constant alert except for a few hours sleep at night. Even breakfast is not a respite since it is eaten while pouring over a book. Each student must pass an oral examination, grilled by a stern panel of academicians, who goad and mock them and exhort them to present their ideas more fiercely.While many Japanese approve of this privately run program, there are some who question whether it stifles creativity and independent thought. 001356121 521__ $$aFor High School; College; Adult audiences. 001356121 546__ $$aEnglish. 001356121 586__ $$aAssociation for Asian Studies, 1993 001356121 650_0 $$aEducation$$zJapan. 001356121 655_0 $$aDocumentary. 001356121 7102_ $$aNorwegian Broadcasting Corporation. 001356121 85640 $$zAccess restricted to subscribers.$$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1650453 001356121 901__ $$aASP1650453/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25697$$tbiblio 001356121 905__ $$uadmin 001356121 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356121$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356121 944__ $$a1785085$$z1003831312 001356121 945__ $$aNorth America 001356121 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356121 980__ $$aBIB 001356121 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356121 983__ $$aOnline
