I would estimate, given what i have seen in regards to homeschooling and the records of prestigious schools that in an eight hour day there is only really about 4-5 hours of actual learning/absorption of knowledge/synthesis/integration at best, likely significantly less

@Alien_Sunset That is truly interesting. Why would you say it's so low. Of course, there is lunch, physical education, and moving between classes. But does it really take up that much time, or do you mean that the students are burnt out after a certain amount of time?

And yes, burn out is definitely an issue as well.
Very few children really thrive in the way schools are structured now, those that do are rare or given outside help & instruction that a lot of children just can’t access (that whole classism thing again)

Like, I was a fairly intelligent child, but also had undiagnosed/untreated adhd/mild autism, i was able to actually progress as well as i did because of my intelligence & a fortunate overlap in special interests.

I didn’t really start actually learning until college when i was more able to self direct and seek out instruction methods more suited to my ways of learning

@Alien_Sunset I was disapointed with college. I found it to be basically a glorified high school. I wasn't really challenged, and I didn't learn the things I thought I should have. In high school, I literally used to beg for grammar worksheets because I felt the education in that field was inadequate. In college, most of the professors were very informal, and i just didn't feel that this is what it should have been like. I received a decent education by today's standards, but I always felt it was inadequate when compared with that of the past.

I mean i didn’t say i learned a lot from my professors 😉
(Although i did, as they had more freedom to teach and track student interests into account)
But just not being restricted to what i was “supposed” to learn or one particular methodology helped more than anything.

Being allowed to follow an interesting topic brought up in class and study it and write about it with the approval of the teacher even if it wasn’t strictly on the syllabus was amazing.

@Alien_Sunset Yes. As much as I do like a structured approach, for those who really do struggle with learning or maintaining interest, I can definitely see how something like that could be extremely beneficial. That would be a realistic alternative to my more rigid system.
