American Students Compared with Students in China and India

Two Million Minutes is the estimated time that students spend in high school.

It is also the title of a new documentary film that suggests American students squander too much of that time.

While their peers in China and India study longer hours to sharpen their math and science skills, top students from one of the best high schools in the U.S. are playing video games and watching Grey's Anatomy during a group study session, at least in clips seen in the documentary.

Two Million Minutes: A Global Examination follows six students through their senior year of high school in the United States, India, and China.
