This is so deeply embedded in the Korean society. The advantage of this part of Korean culture is that it pushed the country to advance through education. However, it came with so much side effects, where so many ppl have that toxic mentality of valuing or devaluing ppl according to their occupations, the university that they graduated from, or how much money they make. I believe discrimination is rampant in Korea because of this. Some child psychologists in Korea are trying to change this in order to improve mental/emotional health of the children and in general population.
Would say it got better than when I grew up but still it hasn't changed much... Feel really bad for kids in Korea because they have to spend so much time in 학원... But like you said we can't ignore the fact that education played a huge role in economic development in Korea... But it should be balanced~
Hi! I've lived in Spain, Belgium, and South Korea. I kind of know each system. I would say that Belgium and Luxembourg have the same system, and in Spain and Korea has also similar systems. In my personal opinion I thing the system in Spain and in Korea are way better because each student "even the bad ones" can get the opportunity to go to university. While here in Belgium they will always try to put you in technique or professional fields... if you are from a family of low resources then you are in a bad position because you will have less chances to become wherever you want. You are stuck on those professional fields. While in Spain everyone will have the opportunity to study wherever they want to in high-school. Sometimes students at some period of their life their environment is not the best, but having a teacher that will tell you your are not capable of... which is commun in Belgium, makes the environment so toxic at least is my experience.... While in Spain, I was always encouraged to go beyond my capabilities.
Hi 🌸 Thank you so much for sharing your experiences from Spain, Belgium, and South Korea. It’s so interesting to hear about the different educational systems! I started at a very low level within the Luxembourg school system, but I found there were plenty of chances to improve and move up. Personally, if I had been in a mixed class, I think the pressure might have been too much for me to handle, but I suppose it could still be possible for others. Here’s a fun twist: when I asked some teachers if it was possible for me to level up, they told me it was “impossible!” 😅 Aigoo! But I decided to prove them wrong and made it happen. For me, it was all about showing that if you really want something, nothing is impossible! 💪 I completely agree that having a supportive environment is crucial. It can make such a big difference, especially during tough times. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment! 💖
I was surprised to hear that Luxembourg doesn't have middle school because I expected the system to be almost the same as in France, but except that I see we have a lot of similarities. In middle school there is "segpa" for those with academic difficulties, so similar to modulaire. And after middle school, not every one goes to high school, some started apprenticeship at around 14~15 to learn a job like plumber or hair dresser. I was surprised several years back when I saw that everyone was going to hagwon and such in Korea, parents are pushing so much for them to become what they want them to be, sorry but who's going to build houses, clean the surroundings and deliver the all so precious Coupang parcels if everyone becomes a lawyer? There is actually a lot to say here, but in all cases we can blame a lot on social pressure and lack of critical thinking
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 😊 About hagwons, it’s definitely a complex issue, and you're right about the social pressure. It’s really tied to the culture and mentality, which isn't simple to change. Every country is so unique in its cultural background and how much it can invest in its school system. I totally agree with you! Thanks again for your insightful and thoughtful comment. 💖
Did you guys take a break from youtube? Its been a minute since I watched your vlog. I hope you are both alright and as close as before, you guys seemed inseperable before when I watched. By that I mean the physical contact/touches was very intense, I almost felt embarrassed watching haha. But there is a difference between then and now watching, in regards to that from my observation, so maybe it was like honeymoon period before things settle down, and not a sign of distance. Sending love to you both.
Hey @danisverse 🌸 First of all, thank you so much for your support and concern for us. You're absolutely right; we haven't included as much physical contact like touches and kisses in our videos recently. But don’t worry, we still do that a lot behind the scenes, haha! 😄 We’ve also been a bit irregular with uploads because of some new and exciting changes in our lives. We'll update you all about it in our next vlog! 🎉 Thank you so much for your patience and for continuing to support and care about us. We appreciate it a lot. 💖 Love, Veganblasian 🌱💕
