There is so much redundancy in education, it’s horrible. 7 hours a day and probably 3 of them are actually spent learning, and that is at the high school level. In elementary school it is roughly half of that. Schools have become indoctrination day cares.
Not to mention the mountains of homework! The amount of time my sister spends helping her kids with their homework is roughly equivalent to the amount of time she could be spending completely homeschooling them.
I took all AP classes in high school, so I was always swamped with tons of homework. I remember going to college and being amazed by how EASY it was. I went from spending 35 hours a week in school plus 10 hours a week in homework to only spending 15 hours a week in class and maybe 15 hours at the most per week of homework/studying. That's 45 hours compared to at most 30. I graduated college in 3 years.
And notice how classes in college are only half of a typical school year but teach your just as much, if not more. Our public education system really needs a complete overhaul.
