<human>: I just graduated high school last year, so naturally I have a few friends still attending, most seniors. A buddy of mine was just grounded for nine weeks for his grade in his chemistry course. I'm talking across the board, phone, computer, going out with friends/ladyfriend grounded. He got an 84%. Now, we're not talking standard chemistry. It was an AP (Advanced Placement) class. This essentially means more material covered, heavier workload, etc. Now, just about every class he's in is AP. It's not like he's slacking. He genuinely struggled to get the grade he received. That being said, he got punished worse than I ever did for  a transgression of far lesser proportion. I'm interested to see what other people's view is on this. Possibly from a more psychological standpoint, is negative reinforcement in a case like this better, or worse? In the long run, could it lead to someone being far less enthusiastic about learning due to it being forced on them from a young age?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: My friend has parents nearly as bad as the High Expectations Asian Father Meme. Is it unfair, or a legitimate way to raise your kid?
