There's a lot of focus on memorization when studying too (so writing everything (like in contrast when I was in school I'd be told not to write everything and only the important parts and to not focus on memorizing as much) and tech adoption in classes is different (like for me by middle school everyone in class had personal iPads given by the school we'd type notes on). The idea of education isn't fundamentally different, but it's a different mindset entirely when it comes to students in school.
