India is in the same boat of kids working themselves to death and committing way too early to career tracks so they don't get left behind. Education imo shouldn't be about the destination (at least before later in university or post grad) but should be about developing the whole person. But kids in these places (and in the US) are rarely afforded that luxury. The idea of something like folkehøjskole would be outright ludicrous in China, India, or the US but IME would do us so much net social positive.
