Korean education system 2 Continuing on my note yesterday, I'm going to talk more about education in Korea. It was years later that I realized that I had gone through "the real hell" back in highschool. I don't think I will be able to have my future children walk through the path like I did. I admit that there's part of me being thankful to the past myself for enduring all those hard times so that I can get into the good university, but I personally think teenagers should spend their teens seeking their interest, having a lot of good experiences outside school and thinking about their future. I wonder what students study in school and how they spend their teens in other countries.

Korean education system 2

Continuing on my note from yesterday, I'm going to talk more about education in Korea. It was only until years later that I realized that I had gone through "the real hell" back in highschool. I don't think I will be able to have my future children walk through the same path like I did. I admit that there's part of me being is thankful to the past myself my past self for enduring all those hard times so that I can get into the a good university, but I personally think teenagers should spend their teens seeking out their interests, having a lot of good experiences outside school and thinking about their future. I wonder what students study in school and how they spend their teens in other countries.

Hello! your English is really good and I believe that with passion and practice you'll get a real natural and polished English in no time! Just remember that what you do well is more worthy than your mistakes . I agree with your point of view. people waste years learning something that they'll forget in a couple of weeks and after the graduation they find out that they didn't learn about themselves. As for me I was lucky because I found a school I liked. It was all about art!

Totally agree with you! Education is very important, but it must NEVER become an obsession. Happiness is much, much, much more important than being the first, getting the best marks, and becoming rich. In my opinion, competition is the big problem here. We must not want to be better than others, but only better than we were yesterday. I also teach music, but refuse to work in a music academy for this very reason. I want my students to enjoy what they are doing, and stop concentrating on marks and winning prizes. There should be a pleace for everyone in society, not only for those who manage to knock down the others in order to grab the first place. Sorry for the long comment, but I really wanted to thank you for opening this topic. It's a very interesting discussion.
