Chapter 4: woah...it's completely different to Austrian schools....in Austria school starts at 8:00 and we have a 15-minute break between 2nd and 3rd lesson. School ends every day different. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday until 13:20 and Monday until 16:50 and Thursday until 17:40...Students in Austria are much lazier and don't have that good marks and teachers mostly don't care if you pass or not. But Austrian school system is just ed up and changes every year because the Ministry for Education has no idea what they actually doing. Everything Austria has too little, Korea has too much....

Chapter 5: Lol! I love all this great info on the Korean high school system but my favorite part is all about this yummy sounding food. Guess the students might need good cuisine to keep them from committing suicide after years of hrs of studying daily. Haha... Thank you for your clever descriptions with all the extra wit thrown in for good measure. Very interesting!

Chapter 7: omg thank God I found this . I'm currently stressing to find this kind of information but didn't get it anywhere. Thank you for the information. This is really helpful. I 'd be really happy if you can update more about extra-curricular and how is the final test/ the test to get on the next grade. Thanks!

Chapter 4: Also, are all of the subjects taken by the students or they are some that they don't take?
And in specialised schools, do they only take the specialised subject and maybe a few more important ones (which ones though?)? Idk I'm not sure so um just- how is it like in specialised schools?
