[edit] Comments?

Well, what do you think? I made this page all by myself!

  • How do make yourself credible for all the information in here? 64.72.115.242 01:39, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • It sucks! 65.72.115.242 01:40, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • This page is terrible! 66.72.115.242 01:41, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • You call this an article? 67.72.115.242 01:42, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • My dog could write something better! 69.72.115.242 01:43, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • I like it. Overall accurate, missing minor details here and there. Lokigoesrawr 10:21, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, as a starting point it's not that bad. I think most information is accurate. 61.74.236.202 02:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I added a mention of the increasing presence of foreign teachers, discussion of controversial issues, and external links. I think the discussion of controversial issues needs to be cleaned up to be more through, professional, and to present the viewpoints of those who defend the system as it is. There should also be a discussion of Korean education throughout history.ThreeAnswers 10:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Well written!
  • Several parts of this article come across as very strongly opinionated, which I believe violates Wiki standards.
  • It's definitely not neutral. Also, the data needs updating, it keeps talking about the late 80s.
  • The stuff about the new visa requirements won't last long when someone who cares more than i do finds it. Personally, i think it's fairly accurate (although written totally from the POV of an irritated Hakwon-gimp ;)), so i'll resist the urge to edit, and leave it to someone else.
  • Overall it's allright. Some of the facts are incorrect and a lot of things seem to be very opiniated. Needs a cleenup.Euge246 (talk) 05:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
  • i realy don't know how to voice my opinion. but i do know that it does not give referances as to whare you get your information. if you realy want my opinion i say it needs improvement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.12.123 (talk) 22:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • i can be sure that this needs more sources on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawkey131 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • This article definitely isn't neutral. Also, in the criticisms section, someone pointed out that Korean education was criticized for instilling anti-Japanese sentiment. But the source given was a Japanese website. (Interesting that the Japanese education wiki page had no such criticism, even though I've heard it said about the Japanese education system even more.) Definitely biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.200.18 (talk) 18:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] There is no 등 (deung).

If anyone is going to complain about the word level not being in the meaning of 중학교, it really doesn't have any deung in there. I should know; I lived in South Korea for more than 8 years. 68.72.115.242 01:47, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That's true. Actually, 중등학교 would mean "secondary school," including both middle and high schools. -- Visviva 13:54, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Education infobox

I created a template, Template:Education infobox which can give a quick at a glance demographics table for education articles. See its implementation at Education in the United States and feel free to help improve the template.--naryathegreat | (talk) 01:00, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag

Please don't be offended 64-69.72.115.242, if you're still around, and I'll do my bit as soon as possible. Trachys 20:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I think there are some grammatical errors here and there...Rttrt 03:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

yeah... there are some grammatical errors. I'll try to fix some... by the way, I am sOOOO glad my parents didn't move [back] to Korea. I would die there. School from 6-12!!! *shiver* Istillcandream (talk) 05:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NEED SOURCES

This article lacks a lot of sources compared to the length of information contained. L46kok (talk) 15:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

if you want an artical this long you have to give about 12 sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.12.123 (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
