Some do. The smart ones learn to read and then sit at the side of the class reading - ignoring the "education" that is going on around them.

- guard-of-terra 14y agoThis is in class; but there is a huge pressure on them to "study" after class, spending all time on it. They because myopic, weaker from vitamin D deficiency and still do not learn anything (adult would consider) useful.
- protomyth 14y agoI still don't understand how the typical adult can talk about work / life balance with a straight face with what we do to children.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoMany adults do long hours of rather unproductive work so it's the natural state of life for them.
- clarky07 14y agoThere may be some pressure for this, but in most high schools in America it simply isn't needed. You can get A's and B's mostly by showing up if you are reasonably intelligent. Even getting all A's wasn't that difficult.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoFirst, USA is by large not the most "studying" culture. Second, the goal is not so much A's and B's in school as entering the high education.
- clarky07 14y agobut getting into college isn't hard either. Unless you are shooting for Harvard it's just not. They are businesses that like to make money. They want to take your money.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoToo many people aiming for Harvard leads to: - Students trying to jump over their own heads - They not getting in anyway and feeling like losers for the rest of their lives - Actual Havard alumnis feeling wrongfully entitled Bad, bad, bad, but that's where society aims.
