In addition, my parents and I used to argue about that issue. It's because I wanted to study at a commercial high school but they wanted me to study at a day-school.(an academic high school)
In Korea, high schools are categorized into two groups. One is academic high school, targeting at having students enter universities in the end, so students in such schools learn general subjects such as English, Korean, Math, geography, physics, etc that will be dealt with in the university entrance exam. The other is technical high school such as commercial one, industrial one, or agricultural one.
I wonder if the terms of "academic high school" and "technical high school" are proper and correct, compared to English speaking countries' school systems.
