Stupid fucking rule. South Korea is startling to look more like their Northern brothers. Leaves me wondering why they oppose each other so much when they seemingly share so many values.
Wow, how ignorant...
I live in South Korea right now.
Gaming is not a past time here, it is a plague.
I don't know about you sister's students, but I, never see any of my middle school students out late at night. (3 am)
This may depend on how good the school is. Maybe your sister is working at a school with a lower ranking and poorer students.
Poorer students tend to mess around more.
Anyways, South Korea has a "bali bali" lifestyle.
Meaning they live life on the fastlane. They take this fast living to the extreme. They work really hard, they study really hard. They try to meet their friends no matter how little time they have, they eat really spicy food.
Everything they do is based on this "bali bali" ideology. This is one of the reasons they have surged forward as a world economy from being a war-torn country.
Additionally the after-school activities are usually taking part in a Hagwon class. This is basically after school school. Yeah, that's right. After school school. It is a private institution / academy where students go to study the various subjects that they study at school. Some of them stay there really late. (9pm-12am finishing time) Education is paramount in South Korea, and parents push their kids so hard.
I am not surprised your sister's students are doing that. The boys really love gaming, and they are so busy with these Hagwon that they are not able to have some time to relieve their stress.Basically, they live life at such a fast pace, that these kids even consider sacrificing a couple hours of sleep in the morning to be able to game. I guess you could say it keeps them going.
Anyways it is sad that things are this way, but they are.
All I can say my friends, is consider yourself lucky because man if you wanna succeed here you need to live and breath studying.
I hope this helped you understand.
