When I was a high school student, teachers taught not only subjects but also the best way of life. For this, most students but also the best way of life. For this, most students respected their teachers. Nowadays, teacher are not interested their teachers. Nowadays, teachers are not interested in guiding students to live a better and respectful life but only curriculum. To help students enter prestigious universities became their main goal and also the students'. Students' respect for teachers also declined due to some teachers'

unreasonable harsh beatings or verbal abuse along with people's focus on materialism. I think this is mot only the teacher's fault but also the problem of government's disorderly education policy. The education system in Korea is ineffective. Students have no time to learn to be independent and think for them.

They just need to study from early in the morning till late night. After a long time at school, they have to go to private institutes known as Hakwon to study more until midnight or even 1 or 2 am. They usually have less than 5 hours of sleep, and it's considered that if they sleep more than 5 hours, they would have no chance of getting into prestigious universities. The way students are taught is also concentrated on memorizing rather learning to solve problems. Often students memorize the math problems and their answers instead of really solving the problems. I believe that Korean education system should be changed entirely and hopefully for better future.

Follow-up Questions

1.What was your favorite subject when you were in high school?

My favorite subject was physics because I wanted to be a physicist. Even though many people didn't like physics problems, they were interesting and exciting for me to solve physics problems and find out and relate to the principle of our nature.

2. Who was the teacher that influenced you the most in?

It was my homeroom teacher when I was in grade 2 in high school. He taught mathematics. He explained the principle of mathematics in a very easy way. Also, he worried about the students in his class very much so he always prayed for us every morning before we started studying.
