Standardized western education has existed in consequence with the industrial revolution and has basically been the same "Kid goes in, teen comes out, teen becomes adult, adult gets job." The entire system is designed to make kids into adults trained to get a job and are told the entire time that this will lead to success. However over seas educational systems that follow western philosophy leads to stress and extensive amounts of work. However we have noticed that children are changing and these standard models are starting to die. We have noticed that a more adaptable system of education can prove more beneficial. Students with a more creative and adaptable personality can become something greater than a shallow husk that must get a job and keep that job in a monotonous industrial system. In our system when students are struggling with a difficult problem such as a question on a test, we consider their desire to seek help "cheating." This is what I would call cooperation.

Other countries are much further than us due to the fact that their cultures value education because it is a rare thing for other countries. America has been out of conflict for so long that we do not understand how important education is. Therefore if we want to change our education system, we must change out outlook on it.]]> 2016-10-27 13:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133597074 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133599368 o]]> 2016-10-27 13:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133599368 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133600392 2016-10-27 13:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133600392 aaliyahsbranch https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133602133 Basically in Korea and Finland your education level was high test score was high, because they had this in mind Talent is not a consideration — because the culture believes in hard work and diligence above all, there is no excuse for failure. Children study year-round, both in-school and with tutors. If you study hard enough, you can be smart enough. ]]> 2016-10-27 13:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133602133 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133614678 I think that the article makes a strong point in the relationship between South Korea and Finland; both have an education system that is all dependent on the students instead of a system that students themselves depend on for their education. In other words, the students take the initiative to learn and expand their comprehension of the outside world in order to have a long lived future with the knowledge to work rather than having the school system choose what exactly is deemed required to learn and in moderation. ]]> 2016-10-27 13:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133614678 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133615193 Its no wonder other countries schools exceed ours. Students in Korea and Finland actually care about their education but the community and the government care too. Both countries have motivation to improve the school system but in america it seems as if we are forgotten , students here don care about the school or the teachers or their grades , or graduating etc. Its the attitude alone that could be adopted . If America put forth the effort to improve the education of the future of our county rather than getting involved in over seas affairs for oil , we too could achieve what Finland and Korea achieved .

But I don't think it's good that Korean students are pressured. I think learning should also include some fun and that you should enjoy it. I think Americans should care and focus more about their education system and maybe take some advice from the schools of Finland and South Korea and try to prevent even more school dropouts.]]> 2016-10-27 13:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133617585 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133640508 This article proves that America is slacking on are education.  In this article to tells us how Korea and Finland improved there schooling system by setting there education system much further than ours.  Based on their culture and beliefs they work hard all year round because they don't believe in failure. As for America we allow people to slack and drop out when they please which is wrong and is why there education system is much further than ours.

It shows that we are lazy and give up when the work get too difficult and that Koreans are working hard and not giving up.

Failure is not an option. Class sizes are large, and the teacher leads the class as a community which can help peer relationships develop. 
   Peer relationships are important because the students will create friendships, and they can always help each other in need and cheer each other on, motivating each other to do their best. 
   If you were to contrast the Korean education model against the American education model, American classes are small, which cause for limited peer relationships, and teachers more often than not help students one on one and lead them independently instead of as a whole. 
   As said before, in Korea, failure is not an option. You can easily drop out of high school like its nothing in America, and you may not get support here for motivation and completing school as you would in Korea. 
   In Finland, they believe that learning happens outside the classroom, so they have shorter school days and sponsored after school activities and push for it. 
   No other country speaks Finnish, so it is a must to learn other languages if you remotely want to do anything else with your life, which is where America goes wrong because learning a new language isn't required, but it merely a suggestion for part of a graduation requirement. 
   Knowing more than one language is important for your future, seeing as you have no clue where it will take you, and I really think we are getting the shorter end of the stick when it comes to learning a new language. 
   The Korean and Finnish education systems continue to show that the American education system is failing, which only puts students out into the world to be lazy, and potentially not have a successful future.]]> 2016-10-27 15:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133660291 ivyanngarcia https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133661763 From this article,I can infer that places such as South Korea,Finland, and Europe show an excellent education system compared to America. We have allowed the systems in our country start to diminish from what it used to be, and needs to improve. It is the schools fault, as well as the students. Students are becoming lazy with their work and will eventually slack off feeling defeated with the school work. The schools have drifted from their systems regular education, and causes kids to regret coming to school, they can change that and make things better and show kids they need to be at school and get a good education, prove that their getting something useful taught.]]> 2016-10-27 15:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133661763 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133664608 It is clearly obvious that in elite countries like South Korea and Finland, grades are of high importance. Studying isn't something they blow off, it's done to make them smarter and it works in their favor in the end. In those countries, they have more pressure put on them from themselves, as well as their parents. Here, certain parents or families make grades the most important achievement one can successfully accomplish, but more than likely students do what they can when they can. Over in countries other than the U.S., they have no time to slack off or push things to the side, because the well-being of the students enrolled depend on what letter grade they're given. In Finland, they are quick to get their students involved, which will eventually keep their minds occupied and their study habits strong. But here, we are more worried about the dropout crisis, which tends to take a negative effect on students who make the wrong decision. Clearly, the U.S. needs to make changes on how to educate the generations still going through schooling. Hopefully soon we will have a better work ethic, which will have a better effect on grades and the lives of the students in general. ]]> 2016-10-27 15:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133664608 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133664913 From this article, I have gathered that places like South Korea and Finland and much more successful in educating their future because of their different education methods and expectations, South Korea values hard work and going through a difficult couple years so that you can have a happy life. In Finland however, they believe that more education happens outside the classroom. I believe that both methods are effective at creating a more equipped future generation. ]]> 2016-10-27 15:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133664913 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133669034 This article reveals how countries such as Finland and South Korea have improved their grading systems, yet the United States falls behind a great deal. For those elite scholar countries, studying is very a very important factor in succeeding in education. School is year round for them and some other countries have school outside of the class room. Here in the United States, students lack the drive and determination to put forth effort into their education.

My mom definitely takes the South Korean approach (and so do I) even if it is self-imposed rather than a societal norm. If I could choose which system I'd rather be educated under -of America's, South Korea's, and Finland's- I'd pick Finland's system simply because it looks like a mid-ground between the two extremes of either laziness and insane levels of stress.

South Korea's way of teachings show through how the country is 100% literate. Even though South Korea has a very "all work no play" education system the students still become successful and don't give up . On the other hand Finland devotes 600 hours of full teaching time with the short school days. They believe that only so much can be taught in the classrooms and the other time is extracurricular activities. ]]> 2016-10-27 17:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133707960 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133712095 In this article they breifly describe the difference between the South Korean school system and the Finish school system. From what I have read, the Korean's believe that hard work, pressure, and stress will teach you how to get over hurdles in your life. Meanwhile the Finish school system gives you pretty much the right to choose. Also, the teachers there are widely respected. Here in America, we need to look at these other countries models and look at what they do to be so successful. We need to have longer days, more respect, and pushed harder, and thats just being honest. ]]> 2016-10-27 17:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133712095 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133712646 This article shows how different education tactics can impact the entire system. Korea takes on a harsh approach and pushes kids to study their hardest and endure a time period where you're miserable, to go into the rest of your life feeling happy and more appreciative that you were pushed. I agree with the Korean approach and believe that education starts with hard work and a lot of sacrifices, which life is all about. Education is the most empowering thing to be gifted with and opportunities are everywhere so I agree that students should be pushed instead of expected to push themselves because when you teach persistence you create an environment of learners. ]]> 2016-10-27 17:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133712646 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133713320 The article shows that the U.S. is lazy when it comes to education.

I disagree with how the kids and teenagers are treated. It's too much pressure to constantly be thinking about school and working on school related things. Pressuring and stressing the students our isn't a good way for them to live. It might be temporary unhappiness for an outcome of permanent happiness, but you aren't guaranteed that happiness and the unhappiness could mess you up.

In South Korea, children enrolled in school and expected to have an extremely high level of intelligence. They achieve this by working year-round in school and studying with tutors outside of school. Students face pressure from their family, peers, and society. This intensity and drive to be the best has lead South Korea to have a one hundred percent literacy rate and high overall test scores. In contrast, Finland’s education is based on the idea that true lessons are taught outside of school, leading them to have a higher importance on extracurricular activities. Outside activities are sponsored and encouraged and students are able to choose the electives they will take throughout the school year that make up about one third of their total classes. This flexibility however, comes with a price. Students are expected to learn Finnish, Swedish, and one or more additional languages. The standard of education is higher in Finland because teachers spend around 600 hours in the classroom and the rest in professional development, constantly improving themselves and their teaching styles. America’s Education System could benefit from implementing some of the ideals of education from both South Korea and Finland.]]> 2016-10-27 17:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133714293 https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133714846 Between the Finnish and Korean 's elite education systems, it's painfully clear that the American education system is lagging quite a bit. Children in Finland are taught at young ages additional languages because being bilingual can go a long way in certain career paths like the medical field. Not only that, but the Koreans strive to push their students to work hard and diligently in order to be successful in school and outside of school. The american education system can reevaluate its ways if everyone believes how flaky our education is.

Which as a high school student, i totally agree. In the majority of my classes, the students don't care about learning they only care about passing the class.

This article showcases the laziness concerning American education compared to the respect for education of countries like Finland and South Korea. South Korea and Finland both believe in the power of academics. Finland holds belief in rigor studies with low stress flexibility and learning outside of school. South Korea focuses on hard work above all else. Standing for the community rather then individual. Both countries value knowledge above all else which has proved effective. In conclusion the US should focus more on understanding along with hard work rather then making the grade.

The American Education system is down so much further than the average 1st world country that we are compared negatively and almost put to shame. It isn't that it's a bad thing for us to focus less on school and more on talent, it's just looked at as less professional in a way. We are pressed in America to go to school our whole lives to get into another good school (college) so that we get a good job and make money so that we have a good life. This guideline is what our society is raised on, but we are focused more on testing and scoring as our "education" rather than the actual learning portion. If we were to actually learn and we felt rewarded and fulfilled with knowledge, then maybe we would be motivated to try harder and do better with our system as a whole rather than the scoring as a whole in statistic for overall countries. ]]> 2016-10-27 23:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mcclary85/educationsystem1/wish/133789101
