A colleague from South Korea explain to me that his daughter, 11yo, back in korea had school from 8:00 until 15:00, then had extra math class from 15:00 until 20:00 -every day- then spend 3 hours on homework. As a west-european, this sounds to me like child abuse, but ok.
School, then cram school, then study at home (lemmy.zip)
Honestly, I don’t know how Chinese, South Korean, Japanese, (etc.) kids do it. They’re under such immense pressure to succeed.
