Break a leg!

So over the last couple of weeks but especially the last couple of days I have noticed that there is a large number of kids with "broken" bones. In almost every class I teach there is one or more kids with a splint of some kind: hand, arm, ankle, leg.

What I don't understand is why there are so many more kids here that are broken than in the States? Someone explained the Koreans are hypochondriacs and that they just splint and cast everything that is hurting.

Are there more kids hurt here than the States because they are left unsupervised during their break outside/at home?
