We had a talk about dark side of English education in South Korea, because I found there were so much frustration among moms' society. Many parents are trying to get their children to have practical skills of English like speaking and writing, but they have to deviate the goal into grammar and reading for school record when the kids enters into middle school.
Many people are arguing what should be best evaluation and methodology for English based on fair opportunity in learning English. I think the biggest problem is English divide caused by education cost for the language.
In other cultural topic, I could get to know some words that stands for American culture in education for manner during our conversation, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.' It seems like very common teaching that the kids heard the most when they are young.
I think this can be very practical teaching for my children too.
'Put yourself in someone else shoes' sounds golden rule for kids in America, originated from the Bible.
And I found there is corresponding expression in Korea and China, ' 易地思之'.
