students futures and lives it is the day
of the C SAT which stands for college
scholastic ability tests millions and
thousands of students all around Korea

preparation eager to enter one of the
top ranking universities each students

into which colleges they rule to with
such scores as a matter of fact a few
weeks ago the result for the 2018 C SAT

this year’s test was one of the hardest
of all times a total of 15 students have
scored a perfect score
once again highlighting Korea’s intense
education system and its high performing
students the world may look at South
Korea as the leaders of education and
being its high performances however in
reality this is not true overwhelmed by
Tiger moms and standardized tests this
system creates numbers of overachieving
students who pay stiff cost and
well-being and happiness despite our
government imposed 10 p.m. curfew on the
so called crimes
schools students spend long hours at
school at home at hot ones and even
online studying on ordinary
undergraduate in South Korea studies up
to 13 hours a day whereas the typical
secondary school under study sleeps only
about five and a half hours at most
which is way below the recommended seven
to nine hours of sleep and although they
perform well on international exams such
as Olympia’s South South Korean students
participation rates in school and
satisfaction rates are extremely low
statistically only 60% of the students
confess to field content in school as
compared to an average of 80 percent
among the world’s wealth in age and
according to the Korean Institute for
curriculum and evaluation this is
because these students learn to prepare
for their university entrance exams as
opposed to other practical usages or the
studies that are actually interested in
and given its low population rate
the South Korean government strives to
cultivate individuals with high
productivity and labor efficiency rates
the South Korean government has indeed
succeeded and ranking top 11 in having
the highest GDP ‘some unghh the nation’s
but its overall welfare and happiness of
its people especially teenagers should
not be forgotten and it’s and the
teenagers of this society should truly
be acted as teenagers not even having
time to watch a single movie it’s just
insane they should have time to go out
with their friends to watch the newly
released movies or go shopping or even
go or even go find some food that they
saw on Facebook which sees which looks
delicious each and every individual
possesses his or her own unique music
inside which struggles to put struggles
to harmonize with other diverse tunes
and to make one big Orchestra however in
order to make this into reality we
should make sure we should make
June until now we are we have acted as
if we were blind as if we didn’t know
what was happening around us as if this
wasn’t such a big of an issue in the
first place the a society that
regardless youngsters as a part to be
utilized as the administration of the
family or even the nation should be
profoundly changed the government they
should stop is stubborn exploration for
artificially talented people the parents
just stop passing down their demands and
their dreams to their children and we
the teenagers she knows step out of the
cages Society has captured us then and
she explored the world until we find our
true selves our two genes and she
identities thank you
