    4-5 hours of sleep? Thats not healthy 😱
    Edit: to all people commenting its healthy since many students live like this, YOU ARE TERRIBLY WRONG! Just because it is normal way to live for someone doesnt make it healthy. Please read some studies that explore what lack of sleep does to your brain and educate yourselves better. You should sleep at least 7 hour every night without exception.

    I’m curious about why students spend so many hours studying after school. Is there like assigned material? Is it to just learn extra material? Is it even required because how would anyone be able to do other things with their lives? I’m just wondering because I never get more than 45 minutes of homework after school?

    • @yejinjo
      @yejinjo  5 років тому +55

      Just think of it like free time for doing your studies. You can study whatever you need, if you have homework that day you can do that, and if you don't you can always do other studies. In some schools, YAJA is a must but in our school it wasn't.

    The only thing i dont like in SK was the long hours in school. I mean i love the culture but not the unjust principle of their education system. I feel proud for those student who could endure 4-5hrs sleep hours and sorry for the students who spent their time in school. No time for family and for rest. Im still glad that our eduaction system is not that strict.

      So we can study more and more focused, in my case my mother doesn’t like it when I stay at home (for studying) she thinks I won’t focus and since those spaces are available I must use them. Parents put a lot of pressure. But I’m pretty sure in her school is obligatory tho, they can force you to stay at school.

    in our school, we only study when there is a quiz or when we have exams (or sometimes we don’t). i think most of the time some of us do get enough sleep but i think that’s not the case for everyone. but for me, it depends ‘cause i always cram && i have a lot of unimportant things to do like watching movies & stuff. i get 9-5 hours of sleep depending on what i do, but most of the time i get 7-8 hours but during exams i get 4-2 hours of sleeep. also, our classes start at 7:10 am, i wake up at 5:30 am. our class ends 2:30/3:30. i think it’s not that stressful for US, the things that make our minds explode are the homeworks, projects, presentations, and things like that.

    So every subject is an hour to take .
    We have classes every weekdays
    A fact that if you'll reach an average score of 90+ on every grading you will be called an honor ; if 95+ high honor then 97-100 highest honor

    i would like to ask this :
    Actually i was my class top student but now my grades keep on dropping so much and every time i try to make more efforts the results are the same so i gave up and don't even bother myself to study ... is there a way to help myself with ? like a tip or something ? i'd be so thankful :))
    i wish i could meet Mr. Kang Seongtae '(

    I have a question. I did read somewhere that Korean high school has rules like “not dying hair” or “having short hair”,”no dating with schoolmate”,”no cofee for students” etc.. Is that true? And what are the craziest rules at Korean schools?

    personally i find it so weird how you guys have to stay at school till 11pm or even more. in the UK that would be classed as child abuse, here teachers aren’t allowed to keep other people’s children at school that late, especially not if it’s compulsory. i get that there’s a lot of competition in south korea therefore you need to study hard but most people will only intensively study if they have an exam coming up. it baffles me that you would study every single day for 16 hours for 12 years. i really couldn’t i’d have a breakdown.
    i really hope in the future the korean education system changes. children are having to work harder than most adults who have JOBS, actual jobs, simply to be the best of the best. they develop awful metal illnesses and the worst thing is it isn’t even taken seriously and there’s limited councillors in korea as it’s seen as taboo to complain about your metal state which is completely and utterly ridiculous. every korean i’ve came across seems to only care about their appearance and IQ (i don’t mean this is an offensive or stereotype-like way) however it’s simply true. it’s no ones fault it’s just your whole countries concept is to be liked by everyone and seen as a respectful member of society. it really needs to change, everyone is valuable and worthy no matter their circumstances. no one has fun anymore, everyone’s just stiff and miserable with an awful mind frame and mentality. you only live to please others. you barely even ‘live’ you work to survive. i’m sorry for my awful rant i just despise the korean schooling/ working system.

    16h in school!???? I spend abt 6-8h in school and study abt an hour when i get home from school. The korean school system is crazy compared to mine (the finnish school system).
