dil i gence 1 |ˈdiləjəns|
noun
careful and persistent work or effort.
I need to write a little bit about how Indian kids study. It's quite amazing, even somewhat entertaining to watch them. The amount of time they spend studying is simply staggering. Some kids start studying at 4am and continue until it's time to go to school about 8:30am. After school ends at 3pm, most will remain at school and continue studying until about 10pm.
Basically the entirety of every day of the week except for Sunday is spent on education.
While our school's level of performance is right up their with the best of them, our strategy has been to utilize better teachers in order to adequately compensate for less study time. Even so, they often study from 6:30-7:30am, and again in the late afternoon from 5-7pm, and finally from 8:30-10pm.
Regardless of how much time is spent studying, diligent is perhaps the word which best describes the ethic and effort of the average Indian student.
Inspired?
Soli Deo Gloria,
Josh

Inspired and amazed! Good for them. May the Lord bless their labors.
Oh, one more thing - humbled.
Josh, I'm trying to remember the name of the telugu movie about the boy with dyslexia - his brother was getting up early in the morning and studying before going to school. Rach mentioned it saying your description reminded her of that movie.
