Korean Cram Schools

In Korea getting into a college is very challenging. Some people take years to go to a specific college. To be prepared for all of that Koreans attend Cram Schools. Cram Schools are special academy's or schools that prepares you for getting into college. The students wake up at 6:3o am every day and usually don't go to sleep until 2:00 am. Some rooms have music stands for students who stand up so they won't fall asleep. Some call it a jail cell because nobody is allowed to date, accessorize, and much more. Some kill themselves because of the pressure they have to deal with. Some of the boys run away and the girls go to a psychologist. 40% of the students who attend the Cram Schools drop out. It is also a financial battle because parents have to pay $1,936 a month for Cram Schools just so students can attend a good college. Some describe it as a war. One student said that every day is a battle to go to a better college. They do this because they believe that 70% or 80% of your future depends on your college, such as jobs and a high salary opportunity.
In my opinion going to college shouldn't be like training for a war.
