Time is pretty much the same for everyone on Earth
When Albert Einstein unveiled his theory of relativity, it must have been a mind blowing bombshell for people at the time. It’s still pretty incredible today. The idea that time may be experienced differently for objects traveling at different speeds, can be difficult to grasp and appreciate.
Still, for all practical purposes, time is pretty much the same for everyone on Earth. No matter who you are or where you live, an hour is an hour, a minute is a minute, and a second is a second. Time may move forward for us Earthlings at a rate that is different from an asteroid hurtling through space, but there isn’t any significant “relativity” between you and me, and it certainly isn’t different for people living in different cultures, right?

I suppose people need to be specially educated in order to come up with things this stupid, although in their minds it probably makes perfect sense.
And families pay big money to be taught by these people..
If they don't want to be on time, then they need to leave and go back to where they came from and be slow all they want.
