Methods The data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018 (KCYPS 2018) were used, and responses from 2,546 middle school 1st graders and their parents were analyzed. Results The results of this study are as follows. First, regarding the types of study time, differences in school satisfaction according to the time spent on private lessons and self-study were confirmed in both students and their parents. In this case, for parents, the differences in school satisfaction according to the private lesson time appeared not only for weekdays but also for weekends, which confirmed a tendency to perceive that the time spent on private lessons is important for school satisfaction.
