Most of people have been taught at the school. All of the countries have institution which is called school. Thanks to school which many people learn at, human can distinguish from animals as a " educated living thing".
At school, we can learn not only knowledge , but also society, human relations and manners. That's why it is easy to classify the person who didn't have opportunity to go school and the person who have been to school.
Every countries have school, but their school lives are totally different. There is example of difference of school life; American school life and Korean school life.
One obvious difference is their elementary school life.
In America, they regard that leisure and activities are important than theory.
But, in Korea ,we regard that theory is more important than activities. So we have many institutions which America have few of it.
Other thing of difference between America and Korea is middle school and high school life.
In America, they don't have custom for school uniform. And at high school, they have many parties such as prom and there are many activities.
Their school schedule is simple. It is start at 8:00 am , finish at 3:00pm same as elementary and middle school. After class, they have their free time they don't have academies which is called " secondary school".
They don't go to school at weekend. Weekend is the time they can enjoy free time and enjoy with their family.
In contrast, Korean high school doesn't have parties because we think that high school students must be concentrate their study for the entrance exam of college.
So we doesn't have our free time. According to Korean high school schedule, it start at 7:00am, finish at 11:00pm. It makes students stressful.
Actually the class finish at 6:00pm and from 7:00 pm to 11:00pm. It is self study time. literally, study alone without teacher at the school. After that we have to go another institutions to learn more. And also we have to go school at weekend.
In spite of these differences , they share several things.
In case of physical things, both have same subject and same context which learn at school. Also, both have same organization such as principal, teacher, student.
In case of psychological things, both country students have same duty of students. Also their responsibility of students is same.
In addition, All senior students are worrying about their future and their entrance exam of college.
Korea and America; different, yet alike.
Although the two policies different in many ways such as elementary, middle, high school, they share same things such as duty of student, friendship, subject which learn at school.
We can not judge as which is good, which is bad. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. So we should respect those two policies.
