List of cognitive biases
Cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment, and are often studied in psychology and behavioral economics. There are also controversies over some of these biases as to whether they count as useless or irrational, or whether they result in useful attitudes or behavior. For example, when getting to know others, people tend to ask leading questions which seem biased towards confirming their assumptions about the person. However, this kind of confirmation bias has also been argued to be an example of social skill: a way to establish a connection with the other person.[7] Although this research overwhelmingly involves human subjects, some findings that demonstrate bias have been found in non-human animals as well. Decision-making, belief, and behavioral biases[edit] Many of these biases affect belief formation, business and economic decisions, and human behavior in general. Social biases[edit]

South Korean miracle? - Academic Skills
"I am a Korean mom. If I had to decide where to raise my children, I would choose the U.S. over South Korea. Just as it is easier to add salt to bland food than to remove saltiness from already salty food, it is easier to add discipline and learning to a flexible and somewhat lax system than to separate the essential part of learning and growing from the overly complicated mesh of educational ambitions. The troubles that I am having in this country (the U.S.) are, 1. "Well, there are a lot of pros to the Korean education system for Koreans, but probably wouldn't fare well in the US. "In reading the below... if they would teach the kids both in the US and Korea the fundamental skills in the day time than perhaps we would have a better school system in both.
