neilp Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It's all very clever, but it's closer to a video game than it is to music. Get these kids out playing music with other humans, and then maybe they'll turn into great musicians. Youtube channels can't do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesotho - 72.4 Guyana - 40.3 Eswatini - 29.4 South Korea - 28.6 Kiribati - 28.3 Federated States of Micronesia - 28.2 Lithuania - 26.1 Suriname - 25.4 Russia - 25.1 South Africa - 23.5 Thinking about it, that's a pretty random list of different cultures and Korea's not that much of an outlier. Lesotho must be grim, though. Edited November 14, 2021 by skankdelvar Errant thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This made me look it up. They dropped from 4th in 2012 to 12th in 2019. The high suicide rate is largely down to a very high rate among the elderly, due to a range of issues around poverty etc. However there are issues with self-harm and suicide among the young with rates appearing to be double those in Europe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Last contribution from me in this thread... I posted a Youtube video that seemed to me to chime with @skankdelvar's OP, and was posted in the spirit that he posted his. Call me naive, but I saw no coercion in the video I posted. I saw a talented 6-year-old able to sing and play multiple instruments to a high standard, not to mention being able to use a studio environment to overlay multiple tracks. I saw it as a Good Thing. Had I known I would become involved in an argument a discussion about the education system in South Korea I would have saved myself the aggravation. That said: Whilst I would accept that self-harm and suicide are an issue for the country, I would politely point out that the same or similar could be said of many other countries around the world (including the UK by the way - perhaps this document will make the point). That being the case, judging the success of a country's education system by the criterion of not having its population commit suicide appears to suggest that pretty much every country on the planet is failing its children to some degree. Do we really believe that? Furthermore, the rate of actual suicides among school-age children appears from the chart above (acknowledgement to @Stub Mandrel for posting it) to have been around 1 in 100,000 in South Korea in 2012, since when it appears to have gone down. I do so love to be involved in discussions where participants understand the matters whereof they speak. I'm out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no issue with the video, I didn't see it. I was just commenting on the education system. If I had realised that putting this throw-away comment would be too upsetting for some people I would have also not bothered.

Do we really believe that? To some degree yes. I just think there is more to an education system than how the education of children turn out. It came from watching a program quite a while ago by a South Korean guy about their eduction when people were complaining that our system was too lax (which maybe it is, and maybe things have changed since, esp. with the lockdown), where a lot of south korean children were dealing with a lot of stress, with a risk of suicide due to the fierce competition of the schools, and how failing in school in SK, pretty well condemns your future in a way it probably doesn't here. Sorry for the diversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I am worried about resale on that bass given the changes on the headstock.
