“So what if the Japanese,Chinese and Germans are going to school 60 hours a week,50 weeks a year. “
A whack job fantasy. In reality, German kids begin their day at 0730, and are done by noon. In the afternoon they can go home, remain behind for extracurricular work, or study and do homework.
I read somewhere that in Scandinavian countries, kids typically don’t even start school until they are seven years old.
