[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s face it - this came from South Korean immigrants who wanted a leg up on life. It’s called a Hagwon - and it’s here to stay...[/quote]

No, it's not here to stay.  Children of immigrants become Americanized.  They'll realize that "afterschooling" is unnecessary and they won't do it to their kids.[/quote]
It’s actually not a bad idea, attend a program after school to help with any difficulties and ultimately prepare students for a potential career. However this should be accessible to all students. Not familiar with Korea but many areas, especially the northeast pay astronomical property taxes. Why can’t public schools provide something like a hagwon? Years ago when I attended public school, we did have something similar and older students, parents and some teachers/TAs taught courses for a very small fee, courses included languages, arts/crafts, music, economics, STEM, etc. and this was in ES in the 80s. Unfortunately, this is long gone now.[/quote]
