@s1m0n4 Hmm… maybe they're trying to copy the Asia-Pacific education system. Intense focus on formal education.

China, Japan, and Korea, they have the world's most intense and challenging education system. South Koreans, for example, they can solve college level mathematics by Grade 7, iirc. Here in the Philippines, at least in the 90s and in the school I attended, we were taught college level mathematics only at Grade 10 (we don't have Grades 11 and 12 then, so it's college after that).

I don't know. For me, I think there should be balance between formal education and enjoyment. Kids should be kids. Teenagers should be teenagers. Once we enter adulthood, it's rare to have the time and to find pureness about the world around us. We start to worry about work, the issues of the world, and all that.

I mean, a few months ago, I saw a documentary how some UK schools are trying to copy South Korean schools. While at the same time, in South Korea, there is a push to be more relaxed like Western schools. LOL.

Funny, I remember skipping classes because I got tired. (Until I was caught.) You know, just a breather (that ended up a habit 😹

(That ended up long. ^^;; )
