Carlos Doesn't Remember: Revision

  Carlos, a smart, but uneducated, and even poor kid, loses everything because of just one thing: poverty. Poverty laid all the disasters-losing the chance to attend a boarding school with full scholarship, even forgetting what he has been through. The thing is that "Carlos" is not the exception. Numerous students are facing education inequality associated with poverty. Even in Korean societies, smart talents are being atrophied and being used in an improper way. There are some points to consider about those juveniles in Korea.

  Like Malcolm Gladwell points out in this podcast, an advocate, a rich high class advocates, are required for smart social minorities in order for their proper education. In fact, Korean society can't provide and can't be the "advocates". The spirit of ASAP (빨리빨리) has been prevailing in Korean society since 1970s. The slower, weaker ones tend to be deteriorated and subjugated by the faster ones. Students like "Carlos" require better social welfare systems for better education to support them. For "Carlos" in Korea, the spirit of "ASAP" would ignore these groups because those students, with =out advocates are 'slow'. Though they have the potential to be in the faster group, they become the victims of Korean Atmosphere. Yes. I admit that our government is mandating education until middle school and that still does take considerable amount of money. But the point is that-"Is that enough?"

  Students like "Carlos" are not asking for those easy educations; their academic curiosity can't be fulfilled with those mere contents. Free tuition, and better quality of like need to be guaranteed to ultimately use full charge of their abilities. In fact, there is a TV program that shows this status quo explicitly. This program searches for talented youths who are living all over Korea. Although there were numerous 

talented youths, I remember one kid. He had superior talent on mathematics, so in his perspective, the current education which is done in his grade was too easy for him. His talents was surely wasted, and his time was also getting wasted. This situation made me embarrassed on what our government can do and felt that there should be a big alternation in terms of classified education. 

  Another point is the capitalization. This phrase, as far as I've researched and understood, means distributing left-over capitals to what they've already focusing now. The government is spending money to some industries like biology, IT technologies which we excel. However, it is time to avert the vision, focus to social minorities who can contribute more and better when they are refined. Students like Carlos are like diamond in the rough wasted because they aren't getting spotlight. Searching for smart kids may be a solution for capitalization.

  Now, some of the images we could imagine that are happening to students like Carlos might be hilarious; they might be working in a chicken franchise, calculating the total amount of monthly income in a few seconds. Some of them might work during the days and do scientific experiments. They are wasting their talents in a wrong sphere which should be sued in chemical industries or other places that can provide the perfect environment for them. 

To paraphrase and quote him.

The difference between being privileged and poor in the United States is the number of chances you get.  "Disruption is not fatal to life chances (for the privileged)."  Privilege "buys you second chances."  But if you're a poor kid, you do not get the same number of chances.

Maybe Korea can't be better than any other countries, just because of not rehabilitating 'Carlos'es.
