pg. 119 #5 first draft Han Soo Jung 200903726

 

Two Elementary Schools

I was in second grade for twice; once at America and another at Korea. I came back to Korea in the middle term of the second grade. So I was able to experience different styles of educations at elementary schools. Both were named as "elementary school," same, but different.

 

In my memories, both of the class had many active programs. At the states, we used to go out to the playground near the school and searched for insects, leaves and played games. And we went to swimming pools a lot, too. Also at Korea, there were many things to do. Although we didn't go out far very much, but we did inside-activities like making lights and mini desks with Korean traditional paper, and making traditional masks, making bands of our own. Both had school performance day too. We prepared for dances or plays for months for that day, and showed them to our parents.

 

Despite these activities, there were differences between two schools. Teachers, and the atmosphere of school. When I came back to Korea and went school, it was hard for me to fit in. because Korean teachers were much stricter than America. When I did something wrong, they used to punish me strongly. So I was afraid of Korean teacher at first time. America's teachers were more gentle and sweet in my memories. And still I think Korean teachers are more authoritative. And the atmosphere, even though I've been to a private school, which is generally more flexible than public, if the America's school were like jelly, Korea's felt like wood. Strict like teachers. They used lots of books than pictures, lots of thing to write, and lots of home works and tests. I'm not sure if Americas' school was too loose, anyway for me, it was hard to do all of them.

 

It was a great experience to me to be able to compare both kinds of schools. The educational purpose is same, but it was able to realize its differences of its style. I can not decide which one is better, because both of them are good memories to me.

    I was in second grade for twice; once at America and another at Korea. I came back to Korea in the middle term of the second grade. So it was able to experience different styles of educations at elementary schools. Both were named as “elementary school,” same, but different.

And we went to swimming pools a lot, too. Also at Korea, there were many things to do. Although we didn’t go out far very much, but we did inside-activities like making lights and mini desks with Korean traditional paper, and making traditional masks, making bands of our own. Both had school performance day too. We prepared for dances or plays for months for that day, and showed them to our parents.

    These activities were great, but there were differences between two schools. The atmosphere of the teachers, and school. When I came back to Korea and went school, it was hard for me to fit in. because Korean teachers were much stricter than America. When I did something wrong, they used to punish me strongly. So I was afraid of Korean teachers at the first time. America’s teachers were more gentle and sweet in my memories. And still most Korean teachers are more authoritative.
