Thar has the logical fallacy though of going "We shouldn't focus on/talk about this, because this other thing is worse". Those South Korea standards listed are terrible and they should seriously be fixed for the good of both the teacher and the students. But South Korea simply being worse doesn't suddenly mean places we live have it 100% figured out either. We can have flaws and issues but still be doing better than other places.

Difference =/= Deficit

South Korea (and Japan, and many other East Asian countries) puts an emphasis on worker productivity and the common welfare of the system over worker satisfaction and the welfare of the individual. It's about individualism versus communalism, not about countries that are different from the West being inherently inferior to the West.

Take a day off when you [i]need[/i] one, and call in advance. Don't send your boss a text ten minutes before your shift starts telling him that you're not coming into work today because of the hangover you earned yourself the previous night. Be responsible and act like an adult.
