Asian education systems are really strict.
we're not allowed to use calculators for anything, we have to do the math mentally.
they have these ridiculous rules when taking tests,too. like, you can't use pencils, you have to use a pen. & for every mistake you have or things you cross out, you get points off for being "messy".
& then they give you less time to complete exams than an average person would so you have no choice but to be faster.
*shrug* go figure.
