Homeschool Current Events: Korea and Table Tennis

Hot Chocolate and Current Events is our weekly effort to help homeschool families think intelligently about what’s going on in the world. 

On the international scene, Korea has been in the news lately. An armistice ended hostilities on the Korean peninsula in 1953. But there was never a peace treaty. Technically, the war continues, though progress is being made toward peace. While the countries are still not unified, their table tennis teams now are. 

Read this article from the BBC News. Kick back with a cup of hot chocolate (or even with a bowl of cold cereal around your breakfast table), and talk about Korea. 

Discussion Questions
  • Why do you think the Olympics were able to kick off the peace process in Korea?
  • Why is it important that the countries have initially agreed to get rid of nuclear weapons?
  • Why is it remarkable that the table tennis teams have agreed to unify?
  • If you were organizing the tournament, would you be happy about this change?
  • How likely is a lasting peace on the Korean peninsula?
