It is the fact that people care more about appearances or status in the world now. It still doesn't make sense that they would be willing to use up extra money, in which could be used to fund for more appropriate uses, but used on little things like "status". Though this isn't always true, considering that some of the schools that are "prestigious", justify themselves with the appropriate, or good education system. Though seeing the education here in my country, I doubt that it is the case, as education is main-streamed in Elementary and High School.
Thing is, parents, especially Asian parents, want to show off their kids as "trophies". It has, and always been.
Well, the body needs to get enough shut-eye. Trophy or not it's ridiculously unhealthy to go on for long periods of time without enough sleep.
Considering the the number of school activities, make-up classes, and amount of homework and studying that needs to be dealt with they're likely getting very little.
What's main-streaming?
