Do you know - Korean kids in school > 5 days a week?
-
Thanks for the info.

Ah Bee, now they learn from us...go 5 days...but lot of tuition over the weekends...:lol:
-
just like china also... though 5 days sch week but weekends are not for leisure also - the kids attend remedials, tuitions, academic enrichments, etc...
think the only free time is during lunch & dinner

I understand from this article that longer school means government fund more of the courses which is not a bad thing if they are effective in Korea. However, if staying in school longer hours with ineffective \"teach less learn more\" in SG....then.... no thanks... :dowan:

I think the kids in these countries are still all way more hardworking than ours, especially in attitude. *sigh. I wish ours had a way more positive attitude instead of rebelling.just like china also... though 5 days sch week but weekends are not for leisure also - the kids attend remedials, tuitions, academic enrichments, etc...

The Korean system is a lot tougher than ours. My daughter’s Korean friends were not allowed to use calculators in school. They had to memorise everything from square root to log. Most have good memory and are really good in Maths. Many of them speak several languages too. In fact, those studying overseas are all doing very well academically. That’s partly due to the tough training they had from young.

Yes, so that trains their memory, which is an important element is excelling academically since open book test / exam is not all that common.rosemummy:

Kids are not born rebellious or obedient. They are brought up that way.
