Korean children have to study a lot. Elementary school students have classes from 9 am until 6 pm, secondary school students return home at 10 pm, while high school students have to study sometimes until 1 am. School libraries are open 24/7 specifically for these occasions. But intense cramming doesn’t help a child’s brilliance it actually has the opposite effect. Many of them lose interest in hobbies because they simply don’t have time for a personal life. They study, sleep during the commute, and spend their free time on social networks.
