Apparently the amount of homework is measured in hours, even in elementary. That, I think, is a little excessive, even for junior high.
Once they're in HS, pile on the work. Even then though, the vast majority of kids will never make it to post-secondary, and of the kids that do, most won't finish.
As for South Korea, their impossibly hard primary school is tempered by a post-secondary system that is a complete joke.
