Chess is more than learning, it's also performance.
School, in most classes and when you're a kid, you can do really well by just memorizing without understanding anything.
Math is similar though because you can't memorize to pass a math test, you have to practice.
(Or any problem solving class, like physics, but most kids aren't taking physics yet).
A better comparison would be between prison and school or between chess and draughts.

some have smart parents and others dumb parents, but does that not make chess and school equally easy or equally challenging or should we just take the opee's question as it is and say which we find easier ? obviously school is easier because its just a load of dumb stuff.
How do i learn "school"?
Don'tknow which one is harder, but school is way, way, way more important to a successful /rewarding future for most people.

if you are late for school, you may need speed to get there and if you really are late you need skill to avoid getting a boot in the backside.

it depends on if they are teaching you endgames or openings, university. the endgames are easy because there are only a couple of pieces in those.

Someone died of stress from going to Botvinnk's chess school, Botvinnik put too much pressure on his students, he may be a good player but he's certainly not a good teacher. His teaching method was good but too stressful for students just like Korea.
It's only because as punishment he would make students be the table. They had to get down on their hands and knees, and a tabletop of wood was placed on their back, and they had to stay like that for many hours while the talented students used it to play.
Yes, it was tragic, but one person was crushed under the pressure during a time scramble.
After that death the government made them stop using patzers as tables.
Some say this is what directly lead to Fischer winning the world championship... if Spassky had more discipline in school, if he had had to be a table, then he probably would have worked harder and Fischer would have lost.

Why the hell are people like that allowed to even interact with society? That teacher should be out in solitary the rest of his life lol

In serious topics I'm serious.
After that, or if it's a dumb topic to begin with, I troll.
