Vague's Comments
It's a legitimate problem.
Parents think that by sending their children to expensive Academies until the wee hours of the mornings they are 'helping' them by making them more competitive.
Instead the children are exhausted and suicidal. This leads to them not being able to pay attention during class at their actual school, forcing them to go to the academies to catch up. And the cycle continues.
I had a student kill himself last year over his math grade. He was in 4th grade.

If this really is one continuous shot I find myself wondering what they did if they needed to use the facilities.

When I was working at a middle school in South Korea last year my students told me that I shouldn't use the third stall in the bathroom next to my classroom.
Apparently there is an 'egg ghost'. It's a girl in an old school uniform with long black hair and no face (hence, she looks like an egg.)
They told me she would stick her hand up through the toilet bowl and pull me down with her.
I told them that we were good friends and that if they didn't do their homework I would send her to their house to get them.
(Then at Halloween I dressed up as her and hung out in that bathroom during lunchtime. I'm mean.)

I had to watch Threads in a social studies class in middle school. Gave me nightmares for weeks.

21 and I can hear it. It's not painful and I hear the same noise from most large electronic devices. My next-door neighbors' TV is making that noise right now.
I'm a middle school teacher and my kid's don't use this noise as a ringtone but once I heard it from a Nintendo DS that a student 'forgot' to turn off in my class. Surprisingly the kid's couldn't hear it.... Magical teacher ability?

As such, I get students in the 6th grade who can't (or won't) write down the alphabet from a to z.
Some of my students also don't seem to realise that they live in a country with middle school entrance exams. Oh well, I tried to warn them.
