<p>Or, is the the population that created the system (driven population demanding tutors for their kids to give them the best edge)? One could argue that the USA’s high performing prep schools are a more humane (kid friendly) version.</p>
<p>The problem with SK is that they are pushing average kids to be good by making them study until 2am. What you really want is to find the great kids, and let them develop in a more kid friendly way. Let the average kid find something else more suitable. That’s not to say that a highly driven kid shouldn’t be allowed to push themself - to each his own.</p>
