[quote=Anonymous]OP, when you say hours and hours, is that hyperbole? Because that's how much time I spent when I transitioned from a public school in North America from first grade to a public school in Hong Kong during the second grade, without knowing how to write (can speak) a word of Chinese. What's worse is that the academic environment is hyper competitive over there where students do substantive written homework and take tests and exams just like the ones that upper middle school and high school students take here. At the end of the semester, students are ranked based on their overall scores and the rank is listed publicly. Heck, I didn't even have a concept (nor did I even know the Chinese word for it) of what is a test when I took the first one. Of course, now, I'm really comparing apples to oranges, but are we really talking about hours and hours here? So, tell me again, [/quote]
