What are the different types of language academies in Korea?

No matter what country you are in around the world, children are cute, and that goes double for Korean kids. But no matter how adorable they are, kids are kids; it takes a certain personality to be able to handle more than one or two kindergarten-age children day after day. The good side is the hugs and smiles, giggles and laughter, and the boundless positive energy one gets from being around young children. The down side is the crying, the tantrums, the stepped-on toes or the finger-poked eyes, and some days it seems to take all your energy just to keep up with them. You either love it or you hate it; there is rarely an in-between. But regardless, if your school has morning classes, chances are you are going to have to teach kindergarten.

4. Once children enter elementary school, they begin to learn study habits
and also become subject to the Korean discipline system, which still
advocates the use of corporal punishment by teachers. First year
elementary students may still be a bit of a chore to control, but by grade
two students are fast to quiet down and sit straight when the teacher puts
his/her foot down. Inexperienced teachers have to be aware that children
will be children; if teachers do not maintain tight control over their class,
the students will take advantage of this and engage in activities they
normally would not, for instance, talking amongst themselves, reading
comic books, passing notes or sleeping. Teachers have to teach, but they
also much keep a constant watch on their students to ensure that they
are focused and paying attention.

5. Once students enter middle school, the fun part of their education is
abruptly over and they begin a six-year-long haul of preparing for the
entire purpose of their secondary education, the writing of their university
entrance exams. The result of their university entrance exam will
determine which universities they are allowed to attend. Only those
students that attain the highest scores on their university entrance exams
are allowed to attend the top universities in Korea, and those students
graduating from top universities will in turn be hired by the biggest and
most influential corporations and government offices, and so there are no
second chances. Both schools and parents put massive pressure on
barely mature minds to study, lean, and to excel.

6. Adults are undeniably the easiest to teach in terms of class discipline and
control. Not only are they mature and not prone to fighting or crying like
younger children, but, as opposed to many middle and high school
students who are forced to study English by their parents, adults actually
have a genuine interest in learning English and so WANT to be in your
classroom, not to mention that they are most likely shelling out their own
hard-earned money for your class.
