It's true that in many cases depends on the school, but I think also that it's really wrong that in some cases you spend your time doing nothing while during other periods the work is too much to be managed. For example, I'm talking of my experience (I'm not High school student anymore, but I still remember everything), during a couple of weeks I had tests (more than one each day) and many other things to do, while during the rest of the year I really had nothing to do. You can't live like that, studying like a madman (like more than 10 hours each day) for 10 days and then go to school only to sit down and sleep during the rest of the year. That's completely wrong.... And what about the quality of culture you get from this method? That you'll find yourself kinda ignorant regarding the greatest part of the subjects you studied, and you'll only be able to remember the stuff you found interesting (few cases). What's the point is saying school is more important than hobbies, if you go to school and learn nothing like most of the people do? It would be better for students to spend more time on hobbies and personal interests, at least they could learn something. Here I'm speaking of people who at least have some hobbies and interests, obviously.
