breadstal2 1,181 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Students participate in a studying program for 30 hours Monday, July 25, 2016 nonentertainment No comments Article: 'Studying hard for 30 hours' Source: Yonhap News via Nate Students from a women's high school in Busan are participating in a program called '30 Hours of Changing Myself' that is modeled after an ancient saying that "studying is not about using your brain but using your butt". Participating students are required to study in their seat from 7 am to 10 pm for 15 hours in this two day program, for a total of 30 hours of in-seat studying. 1. [+540, -71] I thought this picture was from China for a second. But... does sitting in your seat for a long time guarantee that you'll know what you're studying? What is the point of this? 2. [+359, -40] Focus is so important when you're studying... we all know that forcing yourself to sit in your seat for that long doesn't mean that you'll necessarily be studying well. Why does our country still insist on outdated methods like this? It's the most ineffective way to study. 3. [+338, -58] Amazing. I truly believe that their efforts will come back to reward them. Effort never betrays you... 4. [+27, -4] Do you guys honestly think this is sane? Having them sit like robots and shove information into their heads like this? Korea, we need to change our way of thinking. We can't let ineffective methods like this be glamorized in the media. 5. [+22, -5] Studying is not relative to how long you sit there. Studying is relative to your focus. Physical labor like moving bricks is relative to time but studying is not like physical labor at all. Sitting for as long as you can while lacking sleep is not an effective method. 6. [+19, -1] Studying using your brain for 1 hour > studying on your butt for 30 hours 7. [+12, -0] There can't be another country like us 8. [+12, -2] Are they serious about the studying with your butt part ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 9. [+10, -1] It's not like any of you guys are doing it, these girls voluntarily signed up to do it so at least show some support instead of putting them down 10. [+6, -0] Are we seriously doing this in the 21st century right now;; SOURCE: http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2016/07/students-participate-in-studying.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoonability 4,159 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've never understood this idea in South-Korea that studying for hours on end is somehow better. Surely your brain just can't hold all that information after some time? Hell, in my country students are encouraged to take a break every 45 minutes...

Posy‪ℓuv 3,625 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I can't work like that I have to take a break every hour or so to stretch my legs and relax my mind for a few minutes, I'd go batshit crazy if I was stuck in a seat for that long!

vocalmonster 3,603 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I hate this type of studying the type where you are just reading words for hours and regurgitating information. Do these girls actually understand what they're studying? not just memorizing stuff for a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

night vale. 8,071 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 There is no way this works. You might memorize something for the short term, but these women will probably forget everything they've been studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickwithsin 11,102 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think students should be encouraged to study things that interest them. Focus is important while studying, but so is interest. Whether it's 3 hours, 30 hours or 300 hours, no amount of forced study time is going to help if you're not engaged in the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
