- kennlebu 8y agoPretty much. Schools market themselves by showing how many of their students performed well in National exams. It drives their perceived value up so they can charge a lot more school fees. And the common misconception is that the more time a student spends studying, the better they'll perform. Which results in their teachers overloading them with school work

- sdiq 8y agoThis is inclusive of commute time. My young ones who are still in preschool leave the house at around 6:00 to be at school by 7:00. They usually arrive back between 3:30 and 4. And, we are talking about preschool. At least my young ones can afford a commute in a private car. The older they get, the more the homework. While this is not normal, this is ordinary life in Kenya.
