It's a pretty common stereotype: Asians study a lot. But why? What is so different about the Korean education system? Because of America's education system, American children tend to believe that Korean students are more uptight and too demanding, but is this assumption true? Being a Korean myself, I know schools in Korea can be incredibly intense but also relaxed at times. On the other hand, Korean children may view American children as living in a more privileged society. How do all these assumptions and perceptions play into cultural consequences?

Hey thanks for the comment. I'm leaving tomorrow for vacation. I'll be gone for 3 weeks, so send me an email when I get back in late February (my email is on my blog).
I'll share my opinions with you when I get back. However, click around my blog. I've made a few comments about Korean education and society. Plus, I recently graduated from a graduate program at Ewha Womans University and I've taught college/university pretty much since I got here, so I've experienced the system first hand.
