In the USA you can just play throughout all the school years, never study, barely learn to read and write, bully the nerds to do you homework and tests, do drugs, get drunk, get laid, go party, and never give a crap of anyone or anything. Once school's over you can try for a job...or if you got a rich father, he can hook you up. If that doesn't work out, join the Army!

(just kidding)

But, ironically, that little joke is sometimes not so far from the truth.

That's a pretty broad question and it all depends on so many different circumstances.
However, (just my opinions) I do see several differences from American and Korean schools. These are just off the top of my head...I'm sure other readers can give you a much, much better view...

America educates children and young adults to make choices; have freedom of choice and socialize. I notice Korean society is "you must" without questions asked and teaches nothing of fitting into society, really (no emphasis).

America teaches kids how to become adults and enter society. We're taught to express ourselves and have our own beliefs and rebel against anything we don't believe. In Korea, you are always a child to someone no matter how old you are. You must always do and believe what they say. You have to be a certain way because you were always taught to be; no exceptions.

But I think Korea takes things very seriously (or grown to be this way) when it comes to education because it is a very small society and much more competitive compared to America. You have to study hard to become someone and stand out in the competition. In other words, nothing is wrong in Korea. In fact, I think Korean education is much superior than American education. I'd imagine the literacy rate is sky higher than the US. If all Korean students all spoke fluent English and all lived in the US right now with their state of mind, I bet every one would succeed in life while us Americans would be going, "Them darn Koreans always be stealin' our jobs!" Just look at all the immigrant Koreans who started a business in the US and now all drive a Lexus while their kids all wear brand name clothing.

Someone with your expertise and educational background would probably make over $100K a year in salary, I think. I know many Cisco Certified Engineers (Americans) who don't know the difference between their penis and anus and get paid tons while the rest of the team does all the work. I, personally, knew one "certified" engineer who did not know what the "BBSM" in a Cisco BBSM Server stood for. Can you believe that?

Thank you ! eddie !
But It look like nothing substance about an educational[a school] system of America in your writing.
By the way, I know about Cisco BBSM Server.

우아아아아아!!! 그거다설명 하기너무무리해요! I don't think I can really answer everything you want. It's very difficult.

The basics are all the same. You have core studies and the basic courses all in levels as you progress. Or is Korea different?

I think you want more emphasis on the discrimination part, right? I'd have to say "yes" that there is a presence in America. However, I don't think it's as "in your face" as it is in Korea. I think America tries to keep those things silent because "we don't like to discriminate". Maybe it's because this country is very tiny compared to the US. But, like Korea, too, it also depends on where you live and/or where you are from. A doctor in a small town is a hero and highly respected, but in the big city, he's just another doctor at a hospital who gets yelled at by patients.

I'm sorry...this is just too much of a broad subject and I don't have the confidence to fulfill your curiosity.
