These older children and adolescents shouldn't be so pressured all the time. Pressuring children this way is counterproductive. I remember cying and having a tantrum at 16 over calculus, that my non-Asian mother pressured me to do, but i can only remember happening once and i later did Physics at university.
This actually is counterproductive. Sure, kids should do their homework, but their waking lives should not be mainly consumed by that. Healthy and socially smart adolecents have a mix of schoolwork, sports and other productive activities that are not necessarily competitive with some social time. Happy adolescents are prodictive adolecents, the opposite not productive and traumatised. Guess what, university does not produce careers, the individual does that, not the system.
China does not teach kids to be smart, but to be robotic-like ciphers. This does not lead to any creative spark or advancement in society. The creative people in China are sidelined and rampant copyism from more creative cultures work is the norm in China (such as stealing from the West). This starts in schools unfortunately. Note, the West is no paradise and has many social issues too, but the 3-3-16 are so incompetant and tyrannical that they make China backwards.
