This includes grade school children mind you. That's not counting academic responsibilities after school either like homework.

I've known this for a long time but it still blows my mind. Next to no free time, the burnout you'd get, the fact the western education system is so different.

I am convinced if I had been born in China, Korea or Jaoan, that I would have died before I became an adult

I had a friend who moved here in like 6th grade and she told us how different it was from over there. I think that was when i first found out how different it was over there. School here was a cakewalk for her. She also was already multilingual and though her English wasn't spoken flawlessly she definitely knew the language and communicate well.

I'd hate to be average in that system. Imagine dedicating that much time to education when you have no interest in it.

Dont forget how a bunch of people hated on Soo Min Kim when she won Miss Korea. Shes 58 and 130 lbs, and people were calling her fat

Hopefully she ignored them and didn't take anything to heart.

Do you need to make every topic about yourself and your autism?

In regards to kids, thats what you get when you put literally all of your kids time and existence into getting into X-University that, by its very nature, will have limited slots. People work their whole lives toward one goal and when they find out its out of their reach, theyre crushed.

For adults, its the above being put toward getting a high-paying job without ever taking job satisfaction into account. Leave alone the fact that Asian work culture is something of a hellscape.

As a former kid, South Korea sounds virtually indistinguishable from North Korea.

I feel like the entire time I was in middle school is less time overall than a single week of Korean kindergarten

No? That's a weird retort. No one cares about your pity party

Regardless no one cares. I wouldn't have called it out if you weren't constantly doing it

Thats stupid and inefficient. There are limits on what you can retain. Bad students and employees/employers think time spent is the most important factor in success. Its not.

A few years ago, those hagwons (after-school tutoring businesses) could go until midnight or later.

The government made a nation wide law they can't officially operate after 10 pm even though a lot still subvert the law.
