Kangnung children play under a tree at recess.

Korean children attend school Monday through Friday, and on Saturday morning. Much of their education is devoted to preparation for the examinations that will determine what high school they attend. That will determine what college they attend, which will determine how good their jobs will be. There's a significant amount of pressure on school children.

John, the son of Mrs. Kim, director of Best Language Institute attends this school. So did Mrs. Kim. The family has a long history in Kangnung.
