It actually gets worse as you come close to graduation time in Highschool.
Now that I've been living in the US for two decades, I keep thinking how Americans kids don't know how easy they have it. |
It is still content. When I was in secondary I constantly had lessons until 3pm; half of the time after 1pm is struggling to stay awake because whatever they are teaching didn't make any sense.
I gave up tutoring people younger than me because they think calculus is all about memorising formula and the school removed limits from the syllabus (which means they didn't know how the small change in value for differentiation came about).
Yeah, we had US exchange students and Japanese exchange students before. The US students were usually asleep after lunch and the Japanese students
whose girls are rather cute and lolicious have a hard time because they couldn't catch up with the pace of our English speaking teachers.
