Lexington: The underworked American | The Economist

Shared via AddThis
the Economist notes that American schools have one of the shortest school years (180) compared to OECD countries that have an average of 195, an 200 days for East Asian countries. And because of our 6 ½ hour school days, American kids are only getting about 32 hours of school a week compared to 37 hours in Luxembourg, 44 in Belgium, 53 in Denmark and 60 in Sweden.
