Recently they did a study that they took several students from different parts of the world, and they gave them a very hard math problem that they weren't already taught how to do. The American kids looked at it and said that they could't complete this assignment and went on doing something else. The children from Japan started crying when after two hours they took it away. I am not trying to say that Japan is better than Americans, all I'm saying is that we all handle things differently. 
     In core we are learning about the way of life in Japan, and Mrs. Baird told us this story. I think that this relaets to  the stuggle that we have in Mr. Kimbleys class. We recently did a tutorial in Microsoft Word, and we had to complete a series of practices using Word. They sometimes were difficult because we had to create a Word Document according to istructions giving to us by Word. They sometimes were difficult because we had to make them perfect. After we finished the document Mr. Kimbely came around a graded them. if they are not correct we and to fix it a we struggled with that. We were able to eventually fixed it.
