If it's anything like it is here in the US... what fuckin' spare time? I mean, I remember having some when I was in grade school back in the 90s, but you look at kids nowadays and it looks like every waking second is scheduled, and what isn't ... is scheduled for homework. The fuck is left?

It depends how old they are. Kids in primary school at least have a decent amount of free time. School doesn't start crazy early in the UK, and there's not much homework when they're young.
