[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My Asian friends parents sent them to Cram schools in summer. They actually request the books for next school year then spend 40 hours a week all summer studying. They had pros helping with Essay, SAT tutors. Many their focus was just homework. And they worked as a group helping each other. [/quote] This still happens, including "Saturday school." [/quote]

That’s called hard work. Not “legalized cheating.”[/quote]

No that is not "hard work". Only "certain people" think of it that way. Colleges want to find unicorns with the SAT not somebody that studied and studied and studied for it. [/quote]

However colleges may see it, it is still hard work and dedication.[/quote]

I don't see it as hard work. I see working as a janitor in the morning before school starts, or working all night at a restaurant, or doing construction, caring for you 3 siblings and your sick mother ... hard work.

Reading a book and filling in little, tiny bubbles is not hard work. It does indicate somebody that is unable to speak for themselves, does not follow their passion and are afraid of their parents. [/quote]

Students main job is studying and learning.
It's certainly hard work students[/quote]

No. Student's main job is not studying, learning yes. But not studying. [b]You can't decide there is 1 way for all children in the whole united states to spend their time.[/b] Studying is one way to spend your time, it's not "hard" ... it's boring, yes, but not hard.

Some students that only study get in great schools but it's not the majority because it's not really that important. [/quote]

We are not talking about all kids being required to do anything. This is a teeny slice of students who are interested in going to Harvard. It's not widely applicable tlin any sense, regardless of what metrics we are talking about.

In the same way that athletic recruits don't set the standard for every American's exercise routine.[/quote]
