Korean education system

I have met many people who consider the Korean education system as one of the best education systems in the world. I personally can't agree with that. There are lots of problems regarding the Korean education system. However, I would like to mention about a few problems. As there are too many, I can't write about all of them.

Korean education seems amazing when it is viewed outside Korea. since the result made by Korean students look great. When it comes to test, Korean students might perform better than most of students from other countries. However, it is not because Korean education system is well organized and teaches students in a right way, because it trains students to get a good grade in exams. What I was taught at school was to memorize everything on the text book without thinking. I read the text book over and over again and tried to write as exactly as I saw in the text book on exams. That was the only way to receive a high grade in Korea. If I write something different from the text book or what I personally think , I would receive a bad grade. Korean education system definitely kills creativity of students.

The main problem of Korean education is that it only focuses on the result. When I was in high school, my classes were all boring and one-way. There was no interaction between students and teachers. All of us were just sitting down on the chair and writing down what teacher taught us. There were no discussions and questions. The thing is, it was the best way to get a high grade to obey what teacher said. Under Korean education system I had to be obedient to get into a good university for the future.

It is not easy to write about the Korean education system :) I have many thoughts in my mind (or on my mind) but it can't be well organized for now :( Sorry for bad writing and give me your idea regarding Korean education or the education you got in your home country!
