Living the Dream

Like I've mentioned before, students in Korea typically attend private lessons after their regular public schooling.  While editing some journals I received from one of my grade 6 classes, I received this:

"It’s always same!
I went to school and came home.
Next, I did my academy homework and studied words.
At 5:45pm, I went to academy and came home late.
It will be same tomorrow!!"

Its unfortunate that these kids actually do more work harder than a sweat shop worker, and they don't get any money.  Just a little bit better of an education than the next kid.  Not really how you would want to spend your childhood.
