We are living in the information age. Some countries are underdeveloped, but on average, we live in an advanced civilization. There is no one to deny it.
Of course, I am not trying to argue for racism and unconditional superiority in education in this post. I respect that everyone has their own way. However, there are some foreigners who have fantasies about Korea, and I want to remind them that it is wrong, and I want to talk about the serious problem of Korean education.
What can you see from those picture? as you see, Many korean Student Parents Pushing their children.
The level of education in Korea is high and its intensity is considerable. But that doesn't mean a good thing.
Our Korean students have no personal life. The expression may be exaggerated, but we live only for studying and get good grades to aim for a good university. Why are we obsessed with this? Just to get a job and make money!
Of course, getting a job and making money is a sacred act. I don't want to say that's wrong in itself. However, Korean education brainwashes students as if it were their whole lives!
I don't make or exaggerate facts that I don't have because I'm biased toward my feelings here. This is the life I have lived as a Korean, and it is the reality that all Korean students are still in.
Korean schools have a prison- like structure, and they are actually one of the least taxed investments in the country. Everyone wears the same school uniform, and everyone is forced to wear the same hairstyle.
Do the children in that picture look happy? It's a lie. Teachers and their parents would have forced them to smile forthe school's evaluation. Why can't we change this even though this reality has been around for a long time? There is a considerable amount of reason to explain it.
This is an objective basis to support my argument. Among OECD countries, Korea's youth happiness index ranks last with Turkey. Of course, that doesn't mean Turkey is a bad country. But the important thing is, when I know that many people in Korea are advanced countries, why are the youth and young generation who will lead the country so unhappy? Even if a country is rich, if they are unhappy, can you call it a good country?
In the next post, I will explain specifically what kind of problems we have. Thank you for reading my writing.
