Ah, there you go again fst6. I guess school can be fun... sometimes. I homeschool, so I feel like I do school 6 days a week anyways. Or 7 sometimes. I'm behind. Yeuch.
If school was in session 6 days a week, I wouldn't mind at all. Hell, it would mean a longer summer break, who wouldn't wan that? It would be more strenuous maybe, but thats okay.
And for all you people saying that you hate school, you are lucky to even be in school. If you don't have an education, that means you cannot go on to get a good job. I hope everyone who hates school and doesn't try because they hate it fails at life.
I'm pretty sure that the sixth day of school in China is a half day, and it is used primarily to teach the children responsibility i.e. the kids clean their classrooms. They all have a specific chore and then some class and then home. Also you have to pay for high school in China, so doing well in elementary and middle school is even more integral than here in other countries.
