That much studying is too much. There is no balance, it is completely focused on academics. Paying so much for education. The Korean girl is very nice to the blonde girl when she was tired and not used to the schedule. The kids do not get enough sleep.
The routine in this video is not just for the private rich schools. Even though I went to a public high school known for poor education performance in my town, I had a similar schedule with them. I remember teachers sometimes told us to make sure that your classmates are not just friends, but your competitors. I bet most Koreans have heard it in their life. That’s how toxic it is😅
Asian students have high respects to their teachers for sure
Me as an Gen Z Asian Introvert, I would says Respect the Elders is number one priority in Asian Education.
Playing the piano scene reminded me theres always an Asian who can do it better
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
I’m glad to be born in Sweden. Free education? Yes. I even get paid to go to school. We learn a lot in many different subjects and there is not a big test that decides ur whole future. The lunch is free and if u need extra support in school u can get it!
Really admire the 3 kids of Wales who agreed to participate in this experiment , they went in knowing its difficult , living in a different nation , different culture & putting up long hours , it was really moving when they all said good bye .. at the end of the day , let the kids thrive , pursue their passions & live their dreams .. not their parents .
I am korean and I think this frantic race for education might be due to lack of resource and rapid economic growth. The college entrance rate is about 70% in Korea and education is pretty much related to survival. It is perceived that which school you go to pretty much determines your life. But the problem is that Korean students are adjusted to get high scores in entrance exam which always have “answers”. This really makes students become test taking machines rather than learning what is useful to life. It is deteriorating the diversity and creativity. The education system is screwed but the students have to study for their survival in that system.
The Korean girl helping the welsh blonde has perfect English without a Korean accent. Wonder if she learned English and Korean at the same time young.
"I lost so many friends"
"No matter who you are, where you are, and how good you are,
im korean and my mom actually moved me and my brother to an international school with less harsh hours and im quite happy she did 😭
As a Singaporean I'll put this out here. Although Asian education systems are generally stricter, Korea is notoriously high on the stricter end alongside China. Here in SG our government is starting to move away from the flat competition and creating a more balanced learning environment. (They removed mid-year examinations and are changing grading and subject selection systems to make it less stringent). Yes we have to get there by early morning and end by near evening, yes we have mandatory co-curriculars and yes our parents often send us through multiple tuitions and sometimes extra side classes like music. But no, definitely not as strict. We still have one day every fortnight where we can work from home (It's called home-based learning) and generally there is more awareness of being less of an academic robot and slaving away at grades and instead growing more holistically.
Chinese here, with a very similar routine and perhaps even more pressure due to a significantly larger population in China. The year before the GaoKao (college entrance exam), we would start our day at 6:30 am with a morning workshop for either Chinese or English, as that time was considered optimal for better memory. We spent the entire day at school, followed by a late-night independent study and review session lasting two hours, starting at 9 pm. After the day finally concluded, we had to finish washing up within 30 minutes and then head to bed. Teaching assistants would patrol to ensure no one was still awake and goofing around, and you definitely didn't want to mess with them. 😂Those three years in high school were a nightmare, and even just writing this comment brings back feelings of depression.😅
as a japanese growing up in Australia I always enjoy the less stressful schooldays during my childhood and now that I have lived and work in Asia, I always feel so sorry for the kids there where they hardly have time to relax or play sports and games, I seriously do not want my kids to be growing up in countries like singapoirre and many part of Asia, I think there are more things to growing ups and in life than treating kids like academic robots, I always find many asian kids might be bright in academic but they also lack many things I have seen in the kids in western countries. perhaps we should learn from each others and create a effective and more relax on our education system, after all not all kids are good at academic and that doesn't mean that they will end up less successful, can we explore every kids individuality and give them some time and fun to be. kids!
As a former teacher from an underperforming gudeung hakkyo (high school) in Gyeongi Province, I can confidently say that the school featured in this video is not representative of all Korean high schools with respect to student learning and performance outcomes. The brutal schedule however, is representative. My students used to be in school till 11pm if they were preparing for the national uni entrance exam.
I got a PhD at the University of Wisconsin. The Asian students put in at least double the amount of study time that the Anglo students did, and that's no exaggeration. So it isn't exactly a mystery why they do better.
Meanwhile me: Studies for 5 minutes. I felt so productive! Time to watch some UA-cam.
At last scene, very strong friendship with Korean students is real pure emotion.
