Jung-Kim substituted for my Korean Basic A Class in the fall of 2009 and I was pleased
to hear about how knowledgable she was about Korea.
During her presentation, I was especially intrigued by the continued military dictatorships which plagued S. Korea after Japanese colonialism and how the concerted effort of the populace democratized S. Korea.
However, with all of S. Korea's moderization, technology, national pride and high educational standards, (as one participant asked) why do so many S. Koreans flock to the United States?
Our educational system promotes differentiated learning, which many S. Koreans
prefer to S. Korea's rote learning.
