From what I understand, the Japanese K-12 system makes the US system look like Disneyland.

They do have kids out of high school that are quite good with STEM stuff, but I have heard that bullying is a big problem.

As I am a bit "on the spectrum," my grade school years were absolutely awful. I suspect a lot of folks here can relate, but we have a way of attracting bullies that seems innate. It's crazy.

I did enjoy tech school, though, and have done fairly well in the working world.
