like, like, like, like, like.
The contrast between the crowd and the panel are intense. Some are sleeping, some are sitting on their phones, you might as well just not show up? Why attend if you're not there anyways?
As a student who has went to a Korean public school for 9years and went to an international school for my last 2 years(junior&senior)...it was a totally different life. Couldn't even compare...
This is when someone grows up in Korea and feels that even if he works hard in Korea, he can't become the best. And those are the words of a person who feels that no matter how hard he tries, things aren’t going well. But when I went abroad and looked at the situation in other countries, the gap between the rich and the poor is even worse. Wherever people live, there are social problems.
It's similar in China and Japan as well. The standardized exam in high school dictates what universities you can get into and essentially dictates your future. This is why the suicide rate is so astronomical. There are a lot of kids that go crazy from the academic pressure that they end up taking their own lives and there's no escape because you're expected to follow the same linear path as everyone else.
They are Koreans and can speak English very well, but they can't explain exactly what is happening regarding the education in S.Korea. They can just simply say that after school they have to attend some academy/extra class/special class to be competitive.
And that is why I am glad my ancestors came over to America from Okinawa/Japan. There’s no way I could survive an Asian school. They attend school 6 days a week!
What’s the broader context of this clip? What is the professor’s point? Is this meant to extol the virtues of Korean education? Is it meant to deride this obsessive culture? Is it meant to compare this to the US system? What is the thesis?
Very interesting!
Did he just say they study till 2 or 3 in the morning? Shit
Professor is AWESOME
I find it funny that in this type of situation, you go to school for 15 hours a day for x amount of years, go to college and become a nurse. Where as America you go thru school without much care in the world, bust your ass in college and become a nurse. The end goals are the same but the journeys are far and different.
Wow. Very enlightening video
I found this very interesting bacause i am interested about Korea and want to learn more about their culture and traditions, their way of life as students, businessmen, entertainers, the wealthy and even those under the poverty threshold.
The audience demonstrates the difference here...bored, sleeping, on the cellphone, very little interest, filing nails...
Very interesting
There's 1 thing i realized when i watch the documentary where 2 student from UK, go to SK just to experience the student lifestyle.. the subject they teach in SK more "advance" from ours. For example, the math curriculum they teach for mid schoolers, is the same curriculum that is taught to high school students in my country..
This perfectly explains why the birth rate in South Korea is soooo low. 😅 Actually they have the lowest birth rate in the world….
That explains why JiMin only got 2 hours of sleep everyday
Fun fact about Joseon - In both Chinese and Japanese, "Joseon" (北朝鮮 - "Bei Chaoxian" in Mandarin, "Kita Chosen" in Japanese - "North Joseon") is used for North Korea while "Hanguk" (韓國 - "Hanguo" in Mandarin, "Kankoku" in Japanese - "Country of the Han" [N.B. The Korean ethnicity is 韓, the Han Chinese ethnicity is 漢] is used for South Korea. I assume that this is because the DPRK also uses "Joseon" (조선) in its county's name as well as for South Korea (Nam Joseon, "Nam" meaning "South") while South Korea uses 韓 for both (Buk Han, "Buk" meaning "North").
