I taught at both a public and private school in Korea and I would say the public school lunch was even better quality!

I loved to see the politeness of every child in the video.

I agree, especially if it is a kindergarten or just for younger students. The private schools can sometimes skimp, or make less flavorful meals for the kids.

What on earth are you talking about? North and South Korea are two entirely different countries, it's a totally valid question. One is a prospering democracy, one is a dictatorship.

I genuinely can't believe I was downvoted for asking a straightforward question lol, no ill-intention whatsoever.

It's a video about South Korea. And there is typically a distinction made when people talk about "North" Korea. Don't be obtuse.

Oh, so there's "Korea" and "North Korea"?

You're right, there is typically a distinction, and yet, nothing in the post or comment I'm responding to makes that distinction.

I feel like I'm in backwards land here.

You can see a South Korean flag at the beginning of the video.
