Honestly, I don't know how Chinese, South Korean, Japanese, (etc.) kids do it. They're under such immense pressure to succeed.

Pretend you're a Korean parent and you want your kid to succeed without overworking them. Assume you have perfect knowledge of the state of the Korean education system and are not affected by cultural biases. How would you go about raising your child?
I would do exactly what he did, move to Germany.
Not abuse them. Give them sleep and a better life.
If the goal is to raise a person who is happy and competent and confident and healthy, not overworking them with fairly inconsequential math. Anything but that.
Escape from this damned country, there's no hope here. (This came from my experience. I should've escaped but stuck here trying 2nd round of CSAT.)
