. . . but I managed to survive the hardest group at the start of the day. My little ones were super tough as usual, but my two best girls moved up front, which was awesome. Then I used stickers as bait to get some of my boys to do their work. There is one little boy has no sense of obedience whatsoever. So, I had to have one of my Korean co-workers explain to him that he cannot just walk out of the room at any given moment.
The kid also tries to bully the other students are cause them to lose their focus on the task at hand. He decided he was going to put one boy's shoe on the window sill. Of course this is my youngest boy, little Mike, as I like to call him.
The classes I had after that weren't so bad, until my last group. It seems the oldest and the youngest groups are the toughest ones to teach. The oldest ones are just tired of sitting in classes all day and listening to teachers talk, so they just decide to be flat out rude whenever they want. It all came crashing down though once teacher yelled loudly, "BE QUIET". You know you make your mark on kids when all the sudden they are scared!!
Oh well, two more days until the weekend. I am hoping to head to Seoul and visit some friends that I knew from my days in Daegu. Tomorrow I do have to go to the bank and get some money wired back home to pay my credit card bill. The exchange rate is rockin' at about a three year low, which is really sweet right now.
