The schools ain’t in session for 14 hours there. I lived next to two schools when I lived there. They had normal hours except the Saturday element. However, the kids who played baseball at the middle school picked up trash and swept the streets every morning between 6 and 7 AM.

A lot of the moms don’t work there so the school isn’t necessarily a babysitter like in the US. But I will say that when they add cram school it does make for a long day for the kids, but the dumber kids aren’t subjected to that.
