"15 Koreans in a class! "

Some Korean students in LaGuardia ESL got angry last semester because 15 out of 23 were Korean students in their class.
According to a Korean girl student, Amy, of Queens, "It was unfair.We had too many Koreans and It's the same as the situation when I studied English in Korea."
The average number of Korean students in a class in the same level were 7.8.There were 9 classes in the same level, but only that class had a big Korean population.
According to a teacher, "LaGuardia ESL divided students each class in the same level automatically,without consideration of nationality.That's why it happened." Moreover, she added that she informed the office about the issue.
"If it happens again, I'm going to change the class," the other Korean student said.On the other hand, some students had fun in the class. A Korean man said, "I made a lot of Korean friends.They all were nice."
