Korean children get just over a month "off" in the winter and the summer, but rather than just enjoying their youth or learning life skills while having fun at summer camp, so many of them are sent to language camps, like this one where they study from 9:00am to 10:00pm 6 days-a-week for three weeks straight with hour or so breaks for lunch, dinner, and afternoon camp activities, such as sports, game show quizzes, or the singing competition we had today. Koreans are notoriously studious, but the majority of them are not willingly so. It is a challenge to teach students who don't want to be here. And I don't blame them. I'm trying to keep it as fun and interesting as possible without getting too soft :)
