Guiding thoughts to help you with your essay:

____________________________________________

  1. Please briefly describe and compare the educational programs in South Korea and Finland, and, if you wish, the United States.
  2. What is your personal thought on these differences and what you might prefer if you had a magic wand and could change education for your own children (if you live here and if you have children!) in the United States?
  3. Knowing what you now know about infant brain development, do you think differently about early schooling for children? Please explain, especially with reference to American public schools that introduce academics in kindergarten.
  4. Please be sure you raise the overall motivating issues that have made education in South Korea and in Finland what they are today.
  5. Are any of these ideas relevant to the United States? Why? I would appreciate hearing your personal opinions on this material and your justification for the choices you would make with your magic wand.
