colleges abroad

My students:Most of my students come from middle class families. The majority have both parents working. Because Seoul is so populated there are schools every couple of yards (on the 10 minute bus ride from my apartment to my school. I pass 2 others that I can see from the main road). In elementary school students go to the one that is closest to their home. In middle school and high school there is a lottery system in which students get divided up into a school that is within a certain distance of their home but not necessarily the closest one. With the way this is done this means that all my students live within walking distance and I walk past many of their homes every day. The area the school is in is fairly nice. It is kept very clean and it is obvious that the people take pride in what they have. However many of the houses and apartments are a bit run down and rather small (even by Korean standards which are much different than American standards!). The area is not the poorest I have seen in the city but far from the wealthier areas. Another way to judge wealth in Korean neighborhoods is by the number of children sent abroad and the number of children who go to hogwans. Out of all my students (about 450) I have 2 students who have lived in America. A very small handful of others (maybe 20 or so) have been there for vacation or to visit family. I know of another student (who is in 4th grade) who lived in Australia for 6 months. One of my friends who works in one of the wealthiest areas of the city has at least 5 or 6 kids in each class who have lived abroad for at least a year each. Moving to America. Canada. Australia or England is extremely popular. If you are able to do this it is seen as a sign of wealth and rank. In the wealthier Korean communities many moms move with the children for a couple years while the dad stays in Korea to make money. Children who have lived abroad are at a great advantage in the schools here and for getting into colleges. Parents who have sent their children abroad or have moved abroad with them automatically gain social prestige. It is however expected that both parents and children (sometimes not until after college but normally by middle school or high school) will return to Korea to stay. For the families who can't afford this or for when they are living in Korea hogwans are a must. A hogwan is basically an independent school and tutoring center that runs before or after public school hours. Going to a hogwan cannot replace being enrolled in the public schools (as a private school could). Hogwans teach everything from English to math to taekwando to dance. English and science are the most popular things to go to Hogwans for. The number of children in a community that attend hogwans is another way to measure wealth. Most hogwans are expensive. Families have been known to give up new clothes electronics and even food to have their children enrolled in hogwans. The government has tried a couple times (mostly without success) at regulating this. Probably a little more than half of my students attend hogwans on a regular basis. (They also run summer and winter programs for when the public schools aren't in session. Even more of my students attend these). This is pretty low. In the wealthier areas every single student goes to hogwans. Hogwans are considered a necessity in Korean life despite having some controversial aspects. Many hogwans run classes until 10 or 11 at night meaning students aren't getting home until that late. This obviously results in very tired students in public school classes. Teachers often have problems with students falling asleep in class. Many parents also believe that hogwans are more important than the public schools. This results in parents caring much more about grades from hogwans so students only put in effort there and not in the regular schools. (The stereotype about Asian parents putting tons of pressure on their children to do well in school and not caring about anything else is pretty accurate for most families here.) I deal with less of this than some of the other native teachers because fewer of my students are in hogwans. It also gets worse as students get older and closer to taking the University Entrance Exam. From a teaching perspective hogwans can go either way. I know people who teach in great hogwans who love it and those who teach in horrible ones. There is very little regulation of the hogwans so it is not uncommon to hear of native teachers not getting paid not being given a place to live having the hogwan go under. Generally working in the public schools means better pay better hours (classes until 10 or 11 at night means teachers have to be there even later!) better benefits (most people at hogwans get 2 or 3 sick days and 5 vacation days. I get 15 and 21 respectively) etc. The hogwans most often have better behaved students students who want to be there and parental support. Working in a hogwan is a bit more of a gamble although that does also mean there are really awesome hogwans out there that do pay better still have good hours etc. Working in a hogwan also almost always means you aren't the only native teacher there and that you have other people to speak English with during the day. Sometimes that would be nice! Overall. I am really glad to be in a public school because it is a much more secure and guaranteed position and moving here was enough of an adventure for me!Korean medicine:Last week my friend Jess started throwing up in school. There was blood in the throw up so her school wanted to take her to the hospital (they don't have doctor's offices here everything is in the hospital. Going to the emergency room is like going to the emergency room in America but going to the hospital most often means just going to the doctor. It is easier to get in without an appointment here though!) Before they took her the school nurse insisted on poking a needle into each of her thumbs by the nail. Apparently bleeding from your thumbs cures stomachaches. Once at the hospital the doctor gave her a shot (she still has no idea what was in it and her coteacher didn't know either) and told her to eat nothing but rice for 2-3 days. Eating rice helps you get better. Interesting medical advice... One of my coteachers is pregnant. We were talking today about it (the students just figured it out today despite the fact that she has been showing for quite a while now!) and I was asking her about how long women stay in the hospital etc. She said if there are no complications you stay for 3 days and 2 nights. I think this is similar to in America. However you aren't allowed to shower or touch cold water for a week after giving birth. You must also wear a lot of clothing no matter how warm it is out. Doing these things helps the body heal. They also have special centers here for women who have just given birth. It is common to go stay in one for a couple of weeks and then to go home. My coteacher has already arranged to be in one for 2 weeks after her baby is born. I asked what they do at these places and she said help you not take cold showers or touch water. This is the coteacher that doesn't speak great English so I'm not completely sure what this all entails but still different than America. I've had a cold for about 2 weeks now and it has been pretty bad the past few days. My coteacher could tell I wasn't feeling well today and offered to take me to the hospital. I said no thanks. I didn't think I was that sick but if I got worse I would take her up on the offer. I asked what they would even be able to do. She said give me a shot. I asked what was in the shot. She said she didn't know paused and looked perplexed and then told me she had never thought about it before. I get the impression they trust doctors as absolute authorities more than we do in America. I also asked her about buying cold medicine here. I am almost out of the stuff I brought from home (although between all the Westerners I know we could open a massive pharmacy and people are very willing to share if you don't have something). I know you can get regular Tylenol so I was hoping for Tylenol Cold. When I asked she said you can only buy medicine after the doctor writes you a prescription (actually this went more like coteacher: you go to doctor he writes you take to pharmacy; me: a prescription? coteacher: maybe doctor writes down medicine) I know this isn't true because I know people who have bought things in the pharmacy that you didn't need a prescription for. I'm not really sure at this point what she meant but I may have to go try to figure it out soon. Given these three instances of Korean medicine in the past week. I am really hoping to avoid going to a Korean doctor while I am here! If I do have to there are a few hospitals that specialize in treating foreigners (aka the doctors speak English and they know and practice the latest Western techniques) so I will be heading to one of those!

John Kotter: One leaders must understand that leadership is not just a job of the person above them in hierarchy. Two they need to understand what leadership means in their lay. Three they need to displace on their own self-confidence to actually lead. And four they need to constantly learn from their own experiences what works and what doesn’t and change as leaders. You can have populate in executive positions who know nothing about leadership and do not behave as leaders. Certainly people in executive positions who do not listen to people below them in the hierarchy-the ones who are closely connected to customers-are increasingly getting themselves into affect. Good leaders comprehend very carefully to everything that’s happening around them. They never fasten themselves in their offices where they’re removed from populate and where they just rely on reports and small meetings to experience what the heck is going on. L&L: Tell me more about the characteristics that are necessary for true leadership. JK: The most common choose of leadership that you see today that is useful are people who contend the status quo vacuum up information from all directions establish-by themselves or with others-a sense of direction vision for their little piece of the action and then create some strategies for making the vision a reality. They communicate that strategy relentlessly to the relevant people around them both with words and maybe more importantly with deeds. They alter sure that enough people understand the vision but more importantly that they buy into it. Then they do whatever possible to create conditions that ordain motivate folks to act on that vision. That can be a desire list of things from helping populate see the connection between their own aspirations and the vision to getting rid of things that block action in the organization etc. That is the most common form of very good leadership that you see today. L&L: What are the first steps leaders can take to beat their own natural fears so that they can then create the conditions that encourage the populate they’re leading to do the same? JK: That’s an excellent question. Let’s see. In a funny way what gets in our way is what Roosevelt said in the early 1930s: “The only said we really undergo to worry is fear itself.” What that means is what really scares us is the fear. We fear the worry. And I evaluate once you get that insight it helps a lot. A back up thought is: I think the more that you get in touch with your own hopes and dreams and ideals the more that you see the difference or the gap between your dreams and the current reality the more you’re propelled regardless of fear to do something. JK: Yes. But the bigger the gap the more people want to do something. It’s uncomfortable not to do something about it. I think a third way you broach with your fears is by testing them against reality. That is to say looking around in your own history and others to see how realistic they really are and how much you’re just conjuring them up based on a few cases that were very difficult versus what’s rational. And a fourth is the more that you can see how letting fears run your life does not bring about to the life you want the more you’re able to approach them and do something about them. L&L: Has there been a measure in your life that you’ve had to overcome a fear in request to get to where you wanted to go? JK: Oh yeah! Not only one measure. Good heavens! At one inform. I had an extraordinarily difficult boss who could literally control you into tears. And it was easy to persuade yourself to accept the fear that naturally arose to if not paralyze you certainly greatly circumscribe what you did and the risks you were willing to act. And I evaluate coming to grips with that was not an easy one. JK: I decided life was too bunco to hide in the command and mind about this guy. And I also decided that I was right and he wasn’t. JK: Did I ever express him that? I may not undergo. I may have just done what was right. I don’t evaluate he would ever adjudge that he intimidated in a bad way but he respects me now. L&L: The arrival of the Internet has greatly accelerated what was an already accelerated evaluate of change. How can leaders keep up with the change? JK: come up you’ve got to rely increasingly on populate other than yourself and the challenge then is to help everybody collectively act fast enough–and if the organization is larger– be maneuverable enough. If the organization has more than about 100 employees much less 50,000 getting the speed and maneuverability is tough. And I think the most fundamental challenge is unleashing the energy potential in enough populate to create the cater if you ordain to make organizations leap and move. We’ve said for years that the average company gets about 10 to 20% out of its people. come up that’s fine if you’ve got 50% of the market and things are moving at.

bring up Welch in my not so alter opinion is the hands drink most successful business leader of the 20th Century. Before I lose any of you entrepreneurs out there who evaluate leading GE is all that different from leading your computer business construction affiliate or even your hospital gratify bear with me for a bit. As you might know my work covers the gamut of business. Over the years I have come to realize that leadership is leadership no be the size. Of course there are differences and many of those differences should not be ignored. For the most part however if you apply great leadership principles to a small business or even a hit department you are going to get big results just like bring up did. Each of those big companies and institutions break drink into smaller departments and units that need to be managed and led. I consistently lecture leadership management and communication fundamentals to my clients. The reason is that if the fundamentals are not solid and do not furnish a solid foundation then the house will blow over sooner or later (remember the dot com destroy?). There is not a great leader in business that does not have an eye on the basics of financial management. If you have your eye on the financial ball you can get away with a lot in violating the fundamentals of managing “Human Capital,” but you ordain not change like you could and I can guarantee you that your evince aim will be in the stratosphere. This is simply because you just cannot control people nor can you do it all by yourself. Those who try to do so stand in the way of their company’s growth. Holding people accountable goes a long way but holding them accountable with like and compassionate will really act your business where you want it to be. That is why leadership has room for so many different styles. You can be boisterous funny change intensity crazy hands on hands off there not there or any other way but there is one thing you cannot be and comfort be a great leader. You cannot be non-caring. Let me inform you we are talking about greatness we are talking about Jack cheat. Yes. I know bring up was known as Neutron bring up at one inform but if you have ever tried to move a failing business around then you know that blowing it up is a sure blast way to get on bring in. When the money has dried up that often is the best solution. If you follow Jack Welch you cannot back up but come to the conclusion that he truly cared about populate. Tough love might occasionally appear to be non-caring but if you look closely you will see that there is a truth behind the toughness that is very loving. Jack has eight principles that are terrific. I will list them here with a brief mention and if you be to read Jack’s commentary choose up his latest book “Winning.” 1. Leaders Relentlessly Upgrade Their aggroup. Using Every be as An Opportunity to Evaluate. Coach And create Self Confidence. Allen – “You undergo to instruct”- This is only possible by meeting with populate on a regular basis. That is what the research tells us the greatest mangers in the world do. If Jack had used my system God knows what he could undergo accomplished. Allen – Every department should undergo their own vision and mission that supports the corporate vision and spells out just what you be that department to be like drink the road. 3. Leaders Get Into Everyone’s Skin. Exuding Positive Energy And Optimism. Allen – If you are negative changing that is not easy but it can come about with some help. Get a coach and mouth the affect if you want to experience the difference being positive ordain make. I am a realist and you can be both. I’ll show you how. Allen – come up said and let’s not drop to go up until your enjoin report proves it is not necessary. You do not need to micro bring home the bacon but simply communicate – both ways. Allen – Get out of your head and learn how to feel. And know that intuition without information can be dangerous. “book line” stuff this leadership is. 6. Leaders Probe And Push With A Curiosity That Borders On Skepticism. Making Sure Their Questions Are Answered with challenge. Allen – You should celebrate little wins too. Many leaders are such workaholics that they forget how to have some fun with their employees. Well there you have it. If you want to get on track with changing your behavior and implementing great Leadership principles into your organization then call or telecommunicate me for a free one hour consultation.
