My friend text-messaged me the above, saying he’d seen it as a name for a 학원 [hagwon]. It means: “Computer & Filial Piety.” Which, in and of itself, just about summarizes the weird tensions in Korean society between old and new, East and West, etc., etc., and all that trite cliche stuff that’s nevertheless totally going on.
I wonder what the classes are like, there? Is it like a Confucian-style computer-literacy school? Or is it computer-based Confucian moral education? Or a little of both? Or is it just a cool sounding name, and has nothing to do with curriculum or teaching philosophy? Hmm… I’d vote for that last one, based on my personal experience. Maybe there’s neither a PC nor an analect in sight.
