| 説明 | Learning English is a major obsession for South Koreans, especially since the average Korean speaker seems to have extreme trouble with English grammar and linguistics. In many cases, decent command of English can mean a huge edge in career and other opportunities, especially with companies that do a lot of foreign business.Also, raising a child in South Korea is a competitive sport. The key is to have the most academically prepared child possible, so that s/he can get into a prestigious university and end up with guaranteed employment at a large conglomerate. It is never too early to prepare.And to meet both needs, this private academy, in Seongnam just south of Seoul, teaches English to children 4-11 years old in a Canadian-themed setting, using native English speakers from Canada and the US. Though my preference is that the children learn not only English, but the Canadians' more holistic approach to raising children, as well; children need to have fun and be children, not drilled into a cookie-cutter academic regimen.The actual location of the academy is in Bundang District, which is the southern, upper-class division of Seongnam developed in the 1990s as a bedroom community for Seoul. In fact, Bundang is so upscale and high-income, it is even more affluent than Seoul's upper-class neighborhoods for that matter. And it does take a lot of money to pay for private academies like this; monthly tuition at this academy would probably be more than the entire paycheck of a single mother. Raising a child in South Korea has become a very expensive endeavor as a result, and that is one key reason why South Korea's birthrates have done a steep nosedive in the past two decades. |
