  1. I’m more worried about the students who just missed the top tier.

  2. It’s a wonder why any bother to attend the regular public high school. What is with the education elitism?

  3.  @ojkmtforever3595  it’s like judging a person on their brand of purse or car. Yes I am not Asian, College is college. A small college in the states would be more impressive than a college in Korea to Koreans. First SKY, then Ivy League abroad, then Korean National universities, then schools in Seoul, then schools outside Korea, then Korean schools outside of Seoul. Chem 101 and speech 101 is the same in all of them. I live in the Midwest. We are far too sensible. On the East coast in an handful of cities in the US I may think where I go matters. Spending 200K instead of 100K to get a degree when you are only going to make 40K a year isn’t smart. Would you hire someone with a huge student loan the size of a mortgage who also has to make a living in the present? Imagine the salary demands and financial stress the employee is under.

  4.  @ojkmtforever3595  if elite means working for a big family conglomerate like Korean Air, no thanks. Who would want to meet any of those people let alone work for them?

  5. I went to a private Catholic school in the US where 96%-98% went to college. I understand parents spending money and kids with pressure. It just didn’t matter which college we went to. Some went to a top school, although with what I see on the news what goes on there I would not want to pay for that. Some went to private university or state schools. It’s not a big deal which one. We can take the ACT and SAT during high school more than once. It’s best or an average. There is a limit to how often.

  6. You spend a lot of time going from place to place. In U.S. student do 7 classes a day and often work part time.

  7. Why not just go home and do your homework and study?

  8. You don’t get an A if you get 90% right. Or 93% right. You get an A if you were the 4% highest with the least wrong. It’s maddening how relative everything is. It is why adults do not function. They can not move out if a senior didn’t move out. If they don’t marry as fast as their classmates above them they won’t be able to marry at all in their minds. If their senior does not marry they won’t. No one is having kids cause they are too expensive. If someone was 4/9 in class ranking categories how can they have a child?

  9. The biggest sin in Asia is not being grateful to parents. The second biggest sin is academic dishonesty and lying about your academic background, the third biggest sin is murder… Honestly he has every right to appreciate them, he gets to see them both. With all the study and all the work parents do at the office it’s rare.
