That is the term used to describe Korean families where mother’s and children live in overseas in an English-speaking
country while the father lives/works in South Korea.
What is so important that a family would split itself apart for years? To make sure the children learn to speak
English.
This doesn’t have any impact on New Oriental Education, but it does show you how utterly desperate Asians are to learn
English and that should tell you everything you need to know to believe in EDU’s long-term success story.
