The fact is, you need not refer to Ministry of Education statistics; just take a look at little Ah Hua or Ah Hsiung next door. How much time do they spend every week in buxibans? Kids who "polish their studies" four days a week, not counting Sundays, already look harried and weary.
事實上，毋需教育部的統計，且看看你家隔壁的阿華阿雄，一個禮拜有多少時間花在補習班上，扣除星期天，一個禮拜「補」四個晚上的孩子，已經很「寒酸」了。
