#186, School
I'm rather fascinated by public schools in Korea. They exist in an education system that produces some of the brightest minds in the world, yet the schools themselves seem somewhat unremarkable. They also exist in an education system in which the average household spent 384,000 won per month on private education in 2017. This level of spending clearly signifies that public education just isn't enough. This begs the question, what actually happens in public schools then?
Throughout my time at PEAI I’ve heard my fair share of bizarre tales and peculiar anecdotes about public schools. This week, you’ll share one of yours.
