The researchers at the Center for Disease Control & Prevention also warned that the widespread belief among parents and teachers that getting good scores trumps anything else risks obscuring mental health issues plaguing children.

Shitty parenting 101. I have been there and I broke down at minor setbacks. I lost my mind because of the smallest failures.

If you do this to your child, in your delusion you are doing the right thing, fuck you.

Haven't studies shown a pretty strong correlation between scores and future income in China?

FWIW, it's not like that culture is new. The increase in suicide rates has other drivers. I think it's far more likely to be driven by social media and social isolation than by academic pressure (which has existed to a similar degree for the past few decades).
