A few things from last week before another 15 minute post

Last Thursday I got bit twice in one class period. Thankfully neither bite broke skin. This kid sometimes gets defensive and decides that biting people, or the teacher is the best mode of defense. I guess his momma hasn't signed him up for Taekwondo classes yet. I call the kid animal, because he has days when he is a complete animal. His twin is a super awesome kid, who comes pretty close to demonstrating perfection on his best days.

In my Sunday class that I teach at church to some high school girls and one middle school girl, I heard some interesting things. I'll just talk about one for now though. One told me that when she was in middle school that her teacher had all the girls in the class line up against a fence, as he whipped each one a certain number of times. Knowing how these girls dress for school, part of me thinks the guy may have been a total pervert who enjoys hitting women, but I could be wrong. According to what they tell me, stuff like this can be common. I have heard some horror stories about how they get hit at home for doing little things wrong as well.

My smartest kid at school here, got beat a few weeks ago, by his dad with a drum stick, for not speaking to him in the correct form of Korean. I was shocked when he showed me his leg. He was probably shocked that I took a picture of it too. It is weird how certain things are perceived as bad in the eyes of parents throughout the world.

That's a tough daddy, and a tough drumstick.
