In other parts of the country kids are expected to help their parents hunt for food and gather food. If they fail they starve - if they starve and become weak, and after becoming meager they can't hunt for food and they die.
Whose expectations are higher? I think that the living/dying aspect is a bit more stringent than if you Pass or Fail a class. Kids think it is the end of the world if they aren't accepted because society stereotypes so much bull**** and young kids think that is reality.

yes, BUT, kids here in the US are taught that certain things are important, certain things are not, certain things are good, and certain things are not. Its completely different here in the US then in some 3rd world country. You can't even compare them.
