After spectacular Hangout

Sorry for late post..I ached all over my body. Still now.ㅠㅠ Today I realized the post's deadline is Saturday. Too many excuse haha..Anyway lets start!

I had a Hangout on last Monday with Ah hyun and some participants. Having a discussion through cell phone was totally new for me so it was a really good experience. However, I was quite nervous
(I don't know why..) so keep used 'and,and,and'. I know using 'and' many time is not good expression.
Next time I have to prepare properly. :) I just hope that other people were understand our topic well even my speech was little bit weird. We tried our best to talk everything that we prepare. Through making discussion, I felt our education system is really poor. But also, I realized some people are trying to change it, so I believe our education will be improve like Finland. Then our children could think positive, creative and wide without strong forces. I really hope so.

Korean Education problems

-Korean Education system's problem-

Korean are well known for passion of study. They spend a lot of time and money. However, does it really work? Does it really satisfied to students? I'm sure it's doesn't. Following the research, Korean education's satisfaction was in low lank of OECD countries. (36 of 38) It means their time and money are not using effective. These facts are shown in everywhere. Representatively, comparing with Finland is practical. First of all, Finland is famous for world's best effective education and happy students. We wonder "Why does results are poor than Finland's? We spend more time to study but why?" The answer is they don't ranked students. The report card shows only their achievement of goal, not grade. It means, students don't have to compete with others.  Also teachers are more pay attention to low students.

                                                         

                                      (Sorry for research pictures are Korean)

We could know so much pressure and stress are make them demoralized in these research. Sitting and listening for a long time make exhausted. It's the fast way having a strong dissatisfactions on education system. Moreover, they don't have many chance to discuss or ask question in class. They just focus on books and this problem lead to English. Korean English education system is focus on reading, grammar and vocabulary. It's result in conversation skill problem. They know about word and grammar but it's hard to say out. Reading skill is also important but moreover, speaking is more to live in a global world. So education system have to change. We know that it's not easy but it should be work gradually.
