about Korean Education

In Korea, most of the classes that students take in elementary, middle, and high school are almost one-sided.
Many of instructors point out students can only listen and write down what their teachers tell them from textbooks and actually have no opportunity to discuss or express their own opinion in classes. I also did.
The most exams asked us to answer in multiple choices not our explanations or opinions. In other words, it is a very typical case of traditional education. So it took some time to get use to speaking in classes and writing my own opinion in university, although still they have most classes in teach-and-listen system.
Since I don’t have many experiences of my own, I get confused and don’t know how to manage it when the situation goes different from what I expected. So I think I need to have more chances to practice what I learn so that I can see how it works in real world and handle those situations wisely.
I think Korean educational system needs to combine both traditional and progressive. I mean, while students learn from listening what teachers say, they also should have chance to have their own voice and practice to write, speak -> share their opinion with other people.
