I have interviewed with Lar teacher, who teaches biology in our school. Out main topic was "Korean education." He explained about Korean education, its problem, and the possible solution.
Lar teacher explains how Korean education has a Confucianism background. Which causes Korean education to exsit only to go to a good middle school in order to go to a good high school in order to go to good colledge, in order to get a good job. He does not like the fact that Korean education is totally focused on entrance examination. This makes the Korean students have to study extremelly hard and to treat one another as a competitor. Although some of the students might be able to survive the competition, there will always be a loser. Korean education makes the fell out students feel left out, and loose the passion to study. Those students often tries to comfort themselves mentally, be usually using media, playing games and such. Which usually leads to addiction.
Lar teacher also explained what saemmul school has been doing differently from usual Korean education, which is used in public schools. Lar teacher said that educating a student the way an education should be done, is a lot harder then the usual Korean education. Lar teacher also said that Saemmul's education is better then usual Korean education in two big ways. Firstly, Saemmul doesn't focus so much on grades. Secondly, Saemmul's education is based on Christianity beliefs. He saids that teaching in these two ways is very hard.
Lat teacher does not have an exact solution for Korean education. He saids Korean education's problem is very complex. However he wishes that Korean education would totaly change, and instead of the grades, Korea should focus more on the effort.
Hey John! You did a good job of keeping the essay focused. I would like you to make it longer before you turn in the paper on Monday. There is room for you to branch off a bit, but still keep it tied together. You can tell us a little more about Lar. I don't think I know him. You can describe what kind of teacher he is in such a way that tells us why you chose him for the interview. There is also room for you to include your own ideas in terms of solutions or if you agree about the issues he mentioned.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm also one of those who agree with that the education system of South Korea should be changed, your topic had grabbed my attention. And I could find theproblems of the education system of South Korea, well-organized throughout your essay.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'd like to see how you react to this system and how do you think about what Lar teacher told you, as Amy told you just above. (It's too short, man. And please fix mismatched tenses and typos.)
Anyway, thank you for sharing and sorry for late comment. (I saw this few minutes ago...)
