Document Summary
Middle schools: new approach to education for children aged between 11- Small groups, move with the same teachers. Lawmakers are afraid if they make graduation tests too hard that their students won"t pass them. Parental involvement: they are involved when it comes to sports and less when it comes to academics. Many kids spend almost all day in school: a public school or a hagwon. Many kids fall asleep in their public school classes because they are up all night at the cram schools. Cleaning the schools---> used to teach kids respect, responsibility, and team building. Rankings in korean schools are public: everyone knows who the top student was. Change to the school system: look at more than just academics and undermine public schools. 35% of education funding comes from the parents. Success is failure after failure without losing enthusiasm. Give students problems and allow them to solve it.
