+230 The people that complain about going to school 5 days a week and having an hour of homework a day have it relatively easy, especially compared to many rigorous universities in Asia and other places where they have academic studies and 8 hours of homework daily. amirite?

Are the Asian schools tougher than universities like Harvard and Princeton, or vice versa? (Legitimate question, not being sarcastic.)

i don't think we can compare schools from either country, the standards for education levels are different..

What? I don't understand how that makes them hard to compare. In just asking which one is harder. If you're talking about standards then fine; which one has higher standards? Harvard it Asian schools?

No, it's not. I would know cause my parents went to school in China. College there is a joke. Only elementary&secondary schools are hard, but it's over in a matter of 12 years. Here, both secondary school and college are hard. Which is much much worse.

You clearly didn't pay that much attention in your five days, because this is a fragmented sentence. I'm sorry to be an itch.

It's not fragmented, "The people that complain have it relatively easy."

Yeah, this Korean student came to our school and told us he stayed up till about 2-3 every morning doing homework, but it was okay, because he 'didn't like sleep' I also went to this other chinese persons house once, and they had a whole room dedicated to studying for school. She thought it was really strange that I went to sleep at 10, because she went to sleep at midnight because of studying.

Thanks for adding the "and other places," though I bet you didn't mean the US. Sleep is a luxury, school is heaven. The real work begins when you get home... And in three years, I can tell you what university's like!
