Don't worry, lolita, we all feel the same. I mean, I know some 200ish kanji, and I'm proud of it, but at the same time, I wish that the writing system would be easier. What Akvod said is true in a sense, there are related kanjis that use all the same radical, like

浴びる = to shower
海 = ocean
泳ぐ = to swim

They all use the same radical, which means water, which makes sense

But for every kanji that does make sense, there are sadly two that don't, and that's the hard part, at least for me

Well I think the problem with schools is that they rush things.

Start reading some RAW shonen mangas. They'll have furiganas and you''ll encounter easy kanji. It's just using them or being exposed to them all the time that's necessary, not just memorizing 20 kanjis per week or something.
