Koreans
The culture of reverence towards higher education in Korea is impressive. However, while the diligence and ambition is admirable, I found that all too often the didactics used were somewhat archaic and did not serve the students well with regard to them being able to do anything other than reciting information that they had learned by heart.
The other side of the coin portrayed in the article, too, is that many students cannot cope with the pressure. I was at a top Korean university for 6 months, and I believe we had three suicides during that timeframe.
