엘리베이터 탈 때면 꼭 숫자판에 1, 2, 3 다음에는 'F'라고 되어 있던데요.
Every time I'm in an elevator, I look at the panel and it's always 1,2,3, and then
 
다른 층은 다 숫자로 되어 있는데 4층만 아니에요. 왜 그렇죠?
All the other floors have regular numbers except the 4th floor. Why is that?
 
한국에서는 4자를 불길하다고 생각해요.
In Korea, the number 4 is considered unlucky.
 
한국말에서 숫자 4는 죽음을 의미하는 한자와 발음이 같아요, 그러니까 재수가 없다는 거죠.

U.S. President Barack Obama was impressed by and touted the strength of the Korean education model, highlighting how Korean students spend longer hours in the classroom than their American counterparts. He is now encouraging America to consider it as a solution to improving education.

In a speech delivered at the 19th Legislative Conference of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce held in Washington D.C., Obama called on Americans to incorporate more time for children who need it, labeling education "a prerequisite for success."

"Our children spend over a month less in school than children in South Korea - every year. That's no way to prepare them for a 21st century economy," Obama stressed. Stressing that the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom, Obama said, "If they can do that in South Korea, we can do it right here in the United States."

Secondary school Korean students have consistently demonstrated one of the world's best academic performances in a series of assessments conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in collaboration with the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).

A OECD/PISA study in 2006, measured literacy in reading, mathematics and science among 265,000 15-year-olds. The results showed that Korea, along with Finland and Japan, was one of the highest performing countries among 30 OECD member countries. Korea topped in reading, placed fourth in mathematics and 11th in science in the study.

The 2000 study also found that Korea topped in science, was second in mathematics and sixth in reading. The OECD/PISA conducts the assessment study every three years.

Some local experts say that Korean families' excessive spending on private tutoring and after school programs helped their children demonstrate high performances in the international tests.

According to an Education Ministry survey, families spent approximately 21 trillion won in total for their children to attend programs provided by private institutes last year, an increase of 4.3 percent from the previous year.

Bernard Hugonnier, Deputy Director of the OECD Directorate for Education, however, presented a different view about the results in Korea, shortly after the OECD/PISA study of 2003 was released.

"Spending in education is high in Korea, but it's not the highest among other OECD countries," he said, adding other countries such as Turkey, Russia and Greece also spent a lot on education but their performances were not as great as that of Korea.
