The Ultimate Guide to Korean High School

Description

Okay, my friend x-tenshii asked me to give her some answers on what Korean school was like. I myself have not gone to a Korean high school (I went to school there until 4th grade - I was 9) but I have heard about it, obviously I have a Korean family and my best friend is in middle school now so I asked her all about it.

I have seen/toured/been to high school buildings myself. I know what life is like. And things like the Korean food, mmm, that's the same in middle school as well so I know plenty about that, plus Korean food is my specialty. Hehe! :3

However, I had like three exams this week and I've been studying for a crazy amount each day, so I haven't really had time to answer her questions. To make up for this, instead of just answering x-tenshii's two questions, I have made her the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KOREAN HIGH SCHOOL.

Enjoy. ♥

Foreword

I spent quite a bit of time on this to make up for the fact that it took me a week to do because of the exams. So this is comprehensive and I even went on Skype for like two hours with my best friend Chunny to check all of this was completely correct! I hope that this is the most useful and brilliant guide to Korean high school you will ever read! Fighting!

The first couple of parts are written like you have been just accepted into the school, because it was much easier to write that way!~

Please don't steal the uniform idea -_- It was a generic Korean uniform, but the colours and things were mine, and if I wrote a high school fic (which I may in the future) I would want it to be that uniform. So take it as an example and CUSTOMISE, children.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

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?
