Lucky you. I had a standard schedule of 35 hours a week at high school, and I was supposed to work 15 hours a week at home. It was fairly high... by French standards that is.

Now, in my first year at university, I am currently working an amazing fifteen hours a week, with no compulsory papers to produce. Even in kindergarten children spend more time at school than most students in our universities. Granted, since I am studying English I do not consider most of what I do at home to be "work" (reading books would hardly fall under "work" to me, unlike doing maths and other banes of the high school student).
