A student and family troubled by academic performance will receive tailored solutions from Korea's top instructors on Channel A's "Please Help Me With My Grades: Teachers 2," where a challenging student even rejects the solution from 'Math No. 1' Jeong Seung-je, known for his unprecedented self-directed learning style. On the episode airing today, the 1st, a 9th-grade student who returned to Korea after immigrating to the United States confronts their parents while refusing to attend a private academy. With less than a year before high school enrollment, the student's parents were considering private education. However, the student expressed a strong will toward self-directed learning, saying, "I don't want to lose control over my studies. At private academies, the teacher dictates the lessons. I prefer 'online courses' where I can decide the start and end myself." Additionally, the student revealed an extreme self-directed learning method by stating, "I don't want to leave my studies to someone else. I don't even want to ask questions." The student's mother noted, "I couldn't convince you, but I wondered if an expert could," which led her to apply for "Teachers 2." In response, Jeong Seung-je asked, "If I tell you that everything you have done is wrong and that you should change it, will you?" The student, who was quietly contemplating, replied, "Can't I just listen and think it over?" The appearance of a challenging student rejecting even the 'No. 1 solution' for the first time on "Teachers" shocked all the members of the 'T-Vengers.' Jun Hyun-moo said, "What we've always emphasized is self-directed learning, but this is the first time we've seen such 'too much' self-directed learning," expressing his surprise. Jeong Seung-je noted, "I don't just offer solutions to anyone," but he felt awkward about the challenging student's bold attitude.
In particular, the challenging student spent time proving established formulas unrelated to solving math problems even while working on them. Jun Hyun-moo, Han Hye-jin, and Jang Young-ran expressed confusion, saying, "It's already been agreed upon…" However, the student explained, "When I was studying math in the U.S., I created a problem-solving tool in the shape of a 'T' and explored it thoroughly. That was fun," showcasing a deep-seated commitment to exploring concepts. The comprehensive 'T-Vengers', which include Jeong Seung-je, Jo Jeong-sik, Yoon Hye-jeong, and Mimi Minu, praised the challenging student for their commitment to thorough self-directed learning focused on exploration. However, after the report card was revealed, all that remained for the 'T-Vengers' was shock. The study situation of the extreme self-directed learning 'returnee' student, along with solutions to assist them, will be revealed in the episode airing at 7:50 p.m. on the 1st on Channel A's "Please Help Me With My Grades: Teachers 2."
