Understanding the Attitudes of Students
| ||||||||||||
|
Are you aware of the attitudes and values of your students? Consider the following article: Koreans in there 20s and 30s are relying on their parents for all school fees and living costs. Professor Lee Soon-yong of Seoul National University said that this was created by two things; firstly parents in their 40s and 50s thinking that supporting their children is the most valuable thing in their lives; and secondly children who think they can get anything they want. A man identified as 'J' and living in Taegu married when he was a student, but then broke up in less than a year. He receives W1 million per month from his parents and whenever he needs more he asks. 'J' is a typical mother's boy who can do nothing without his parents. They even paid his divorce payment settlement of W10 million. Professor Lee Jang-young of Kookmin University said that young Koreans living with the help of their parents have the illusion that their parents' assets and status are theirs.
