Episode 9: The 80-Hour School Week (Education)
Manage episode 376343789 series 3501169
This week Jun and Daniel take a first stab at tackling a fairly big topic in Korea: the education system. It wasn’t that long ago that Korean students went to school from morning to midnight, six days a week. While this is technically no longer the case, in practice, not much has changed. Why are Koreans so obsessed with education? How does a day in the life of a Korean and an American high school student compare? How much homework do Korean students get? What is a common stereotype that Koreans have of American schools? How does the college admissions process work? What do planes and police have to do with the Korean SAT? How has the role of public school teachers changed? Why does Daniel love the daycare/preschools in Korea? Who are some of the top earners in Korea?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! This week we also learn a bit about what Jun was like in high school, a nerdy programming joke from Daniel, and whether our parents really did walk uphill 5 miles both ways through the snow to get to school.
