No it's not, since playing in a park is normal, but killing yourself for getting bad grades is not.

This is Asia, India in particular, that we are talking about here - the hyper-competitiveness that these kids go through is probably worse than what medical doctors go through in prestigious schools in the US.
- lxjum 7y ago>Software design should have incorporated the social context of failure. Yeah sure. My bad. Let's be reasonable: if(grade < 5)grade = 5
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 7y agoHow about if(gradeForStudent(i) < avg(gradesForStudent(i))) flagForReview Still a one liner. You seem to have forgot that the software defect was an error in grading.
