She ' s yet another clueless Korean liberal who ' s bought and swallowed the whole hippie line about students not having to study and suddenly they will be ' creative geniuses ', a latterday Einstein . Critics are dead right when they say that a higher level of corruption in Korea prevents the country from moving to any examination systems that do not rely on objective answers , cast in stone . No amount of indexing to ' international standards ' will be enough to prevent the cheaters trying to game the system , that ' s just how it always is . More importantly , there is nothing wrong with an educational system that focuses on knowledge acquisition what most people sneer at as memorization . The idea that such system prevents creativity is nothing but faddish popscience that is FAR from being conclusively proven . Look , Imperial Germany before WW 1 had a very strict , memorizationfocused educational system . This system also produced Albert Einstein , Max Planck , and many other prominent German scientists that basically kickstarted the 20 th century . Are they not creative minds ? There ' s no fking Jerusalem beyond the Suneung system . No outbursts of creativity , no Korean Steve Jobs or Bill Gates waiting there . Don ' t temper with what ' s worked brilliantly for the country so far .
