2 Million Minutes

It bugs me a lot that the students from China and India have to study for most of their day.  They have so much homework that they don't really, by American standards, have a life.

Meanwhile, over here, we have little homework.  The video said that high school students only have about one hour of homework per night and none on the weekends.

The students in China and India did not get into the places they wanted and they studied really hard.  But students in America got into their schools of choice.

The driving force in China and India is complacency.  They are no longer satisfied with their lives being the way that they are so they study really hard.  But does this world reward them?  No, it just keeps them from going to their dream colleges and into their dream fields.
