New semesters start in March and September. In Korea, studying is really important to most of students. Most of students study hard to enter the universities which require high scores in the entrance exam due to the high education criteria/curriculum. In Korea, having a strong education background is very crucial.<I accidently delete this.) To enter the good universities, students recieve get some private lessons because they think regular school classes in school are not as helpful towards the entrance exam. Therefore, schools' teachers in school are not that authoritive/powerful and even most of students ignore the teachers. In Korea, the competition in education is very severe that some students even commit suicide because they failed to enter the universities. I'm a university student, but I still have to study hard to enter the promising companies also I have to study English and study for some certificates. Besides, school record in universities is also important. Even I get a job in the future, I have to study hard to promote. I have to study for life!! In Korea, the knowledge we get from school is not helpful. We just memorize and be familiar to solve several kind of problems to take the exams. We don't just study not for our job and life, but for exams.

~I correct what I can. Now I know why my Korean classmates always complain about ONE "C- grade" on their exam. C- is average, but still frown upon. Thanks for sharing.
