Working with Korean Students
Confucius Meets Piaget: An Educational Perspective on Ethnic Korean Students and their Parents (Jonathan F. Borden) provides a glimpse into the historical, cultural, and educational realities of contemporary South Korea that mold the lives and minds of the increasing number of Korean children found in international schools throughout the world today.
Topics such as academic stress, class participation, social hierarchy, relationships, parental expectations, and academic integrity are addressed honestly and sensitively.
Practical suggestions for working with Korean students and parents are included.
