In this blog, I’m going to write about cultural differences between Korean and American schools. I was born in America but lived in Korea. So when I came to America, I could know that American culture is very different from Korea. I was very surprised at that time. Especially, there were many differences between Korean and American schools.When I went to the Lafayette High School in Lexington, Kentucky, I found a lot of different things with Korea. I was very difficult to adjust to school at first time. When I adjust school, I could know that American schools are place for students. Not only school but also even teachers work for students.Going to the bathroom during class is a good example. When I was in Korea I couldn’t go to bathroom during class. I did not get the teacher asked for her permission. So when I go to the bathroom, was really hard. But in America, even in class, could go at any time if they get permission from the teacher. After teaching Korean students must be clean. Then I came to U.S. which was like heaven. I do not need clean the school, which was impossible in Korea(Clean after school everydayㅠㅠ) Third, many American schools are students of various races. In Korea, foreign non-Korean students, attend a foreign school normally. Lafayette High School was a typical high school, South Korea and, unlike many foreign students. Therefore, the school seemed to move away the racism almost which is a serious problem in America.
