For one thing, I'd guess GPAs will go up. For another, I think there'll be an increase in bored students.

So, business as usual then?

I fail to see how this hurts Hakwons... doesn't it actually make more students want to enroll?

Banning education? Is that essentially what this bill is. Actually stopping people from being taught what they want to be taught? Thank god it'll never work because that's pretty much just totalitarianism.

So basically, this daddy-knows-best government is banning students from bettering themselves in an educational setting by going above and beyond the "set" curriculum. Did they formulate this little bill over their incessant soju binging hweshik after school dinners?

Most idiotic thing I've ever heard in all my years living here.

Not to mention the only "rule" they added for hagwons is that they can't "advertise" their advanced classes... which is about as meaningless of a law as possible
