You guys might know that I asked you once about the class-ending times in couple of years ago.
But I really want to discuss something with all of you.
This thing is about school too, but this time I'm very serious.
I live in korea, currently 17 in american age.
I am High School second grader (11 th grade).
As you see in my profile title, I think the Korean eduactors are mad.
They want students to be locked up in school for a long time.
And they believes studying for a lot of time makes one become smarter -.
Also, adults, such as my parents and teachers says that it(education) gets intense and intense
So I should not be the one to be depressed or frustrated for studying a lot.
But....Can you imagine yourself staying for 14 Hours at school. I'm sure you can't.
Well, I survived a year with that environment. but.... as adults said it gets worse an worse.
And I won't saying this all thing if i can at least do something i want to do, such as listening to music
without concerning while recess time, or using computer lab so i could use RMXP and another things.
however, all that 14 Hours of schooltime is used to just study and 'maintain alive and awaken'.
And you might know that Korea has cramming system of education. Whatever we don't want to
study or not, there's almost none of freedom and rights of decision for us students.
It means i have to learn all the shit that school says to learn, and most of the personal
hobbies, characteristics, that sort of thing is ignored on class.
Also in school, disobeying teachers is considered almost as crime. we got busted,
wheter teacher is wrong or right. But when teachers did something wrong,
they just think that is a 'mistake', and don't really care about it.
Each day *(Except weekends) we take 6 normal classes 3 supplementary classes,
and Night self-studying time.
Each class lasts for 50 minutes and 10 minutes recess each ends of classes.
It is really pain in the ass to sit in uncomfortable chair for that much of time.
Lunchbreak for 1 hr and So do the Dinner Break. (I eat both lunch and dinner at school)
And one of the most frustrating thing is 'Night self-studying time'.
It is called 'self-studying' time. But it isn't. It is 'Study or Die' time.
in Night self-studying time(Let's call it NSST, shorter)is consisted of two parts.
1 hrs and 20 minutes first part, and 10 minutes of recess, then 1 hrs of second part.
sitting in chair studying for up to 1 hrs.
Yes. this is madness. I can't chat. I can't joke. I can't laugh. I can't even go to bathroom without asking.
during this time. Students must sit down, shut their mouth, and study on their own.
If someone chats, He got whacked in the ass by teachers with sticks. Once whacked,
sometimes it bruises, and hurt like hell.
Cellphones and Electronics such as Mp3, IPods are not allowed. If someone caught using,
It will be confiscated for 1 month. if someone caught once more, they confiscate it for a long time
and give it back when a semester ends.
And there's a special activities called CA, which we have once a week.
during this time, we do club activities which we chose in beginning of the year.
But... 50 minutes a week is not enough.
And guess what, it is not considered as important part of schooltime.
This gets skipped often by other events, which teachers say 'More Important'.
So, I think that 'More Important' thing was really important. but most of the time, it isn't.
Sometimes we just have another self-studying time, or call us all to the gym to advise us
with doubtfully-useable-advice.
Anyway, after all that 14 hrs of studying. when i arrive home, I still can't rest.
Because teachers give homeworks. Sometimes I can only sleep for 3~4 hrs.
What the.
sometimes i feel that I'm locked up in prison, rather than going to school.
And this thing is happening in every part of korea - except seoul.
So what do you think? Staying for such shitload of time at school studying without a point.
Is it the good thing for getting smart? or just a torturing students?
Write your opinion.
