I found college easy after going to private school. My high school literally started at 7:30am, and ended at 7:10pm. It also on Tues, Wed, Thurs went later then that (half a day on Sunday as well). I graduated high school with 39 college credits already. College seemed easy to me, and a lot of classmates in college did scare me, with their education. I say that because a smart teacher told me once, that a class can only go as fast as the slowest student.

But especially in NY where there are standardized tests, the regents, they are a joke. I looked forward to them over a regular final, since there was no comparison in difficulty.

To me our education system needs a major overhaul to begin with. Which I can go into a whole other thread about that another time.
