I wonder if I will get a million hits with a title like that?

The university organized a school science thing called SCORE! last Saturday. Loads of competitors.

Seriously though, I mean like what is it with Japanese High School kids?

They were all 17 or 18. They all wore school uniform. They were all very polite. They did  not have piercings. They actually seemed to be enjoying themselves. They had no hint of je m’en foutisme. They laughed, giggled and wanted to have their photos taken with old men.

I mean is this a good thing?

Is this really preparing them for the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune?
