Interestingly enough, I was talking to some of my colleagues about this 
exact subject and how it is different in Japan compared to the UK.  In 
Japan, it is usual for pupils to compare how much work they'd done the night 
before for school, more definitely being seen as "cooler" and "better".  I 
said that if you boasted about how much work you'd done at a school in the 
UK you'd likely get beaten up by a group of bullies at lunchtime!

I blame the parents!
