Most Japanese kids are born with much emphasis on education. We can also take it further by looking at the time spent on study each day between the two countries.

Japanese parents are even stricter to their children about the importance of doing homework and getting good grades. We can also take it further by looking at the time spent on study each day between the two countries. When comparing the different times between two countries, we would then be able to know if it is important to spend a five to six or just a few hours a day on homework.
