but why does it need to be classroom based?

Because Korean educational/work culture has become insanely unhealthy in terms of it's workload and competitiveness. Every student is competing for the "good" universities in Seoul, and if you aren't good enough for those and land in literally any other college or no college at all, then you're considered an abject failure. Students end up studying or working 14+ hours a day to accomodate this. Their entire country's work/life balance has become so incredibly skewed it's destroyed their future demographics as young people no longer have children, they do nothing but work constantly to be "successful".

Pretty soon, South Koreans are just gonna strap into their work desks with a catheter out of the womb and get shoved aside the moment they croak to make room for the next one.
