The educational system in the US is moribund. And it is largely a self-inflicted wound. Too much hidebound bureaucracy with an emphasis on process rather than the result. As is indicated in the other thread on this issue far too many people, especially parents and business leaders, see education as job training only and those jobs may not exist in ten more years.
I can't comment on the amount of work they have to do. I graduated from college in 1971 and things have changed. But a good friend went back to school starting around 2004 and it seemed to me that she had a completely different experience than I did. She had to read 3 books for an English class and do a paper. My last English class required a book a week and a paper.
Welcome, btw.
