Sorry about writing in English. Using my friend's laptop and his computer has no Korean font, though I am writing to the writer of this article.
Well, I really don't know what's going on there now, though I could tell for sure is that your son's case is not for everyone. From what I see and hear is more like a whole process of making headless public especially in a public eduaction system. Judging by your nick, you live in Michigan. I used to live in NY area for 10 years, my experince there as a 'stranger' was not a pleasant one in many ways... personally, politically and collectively. Anyway my point is that I wouldn't say America is better than any other parts of the world in raising their people being critical in their authority.
