Turns out the fire was on the school's playground. Fire drills were always fun when I was a student.  It usually meant at least a few minutes out of class.  As a teacher, they were a bit more inconvenient.  Chances are it would happen right when you were saying something important, or a student was REALLY close to understanding something. If you are not familiar with an American fire drill,  let me briefly explain. At sometime unknown to students (but usually the teachers knew)a bell would ring during classes.  We would all line up quietly at the door, and walk outside usually to a field.  Then we would stand in line for a few minutes watching everyone file out.  The goal was just to practice evacuating quickly and smoothly.  Then a...

I have just returned from teaching english to 승진. The last few weeks I have been teaching him how to spell and write, and as a result he is also learning to read. I still don't really think I know what I'm doing when it comes to teaching a 5 year old English, but he is doing really really well.

Last week Stephanie experienced some interesting cultural differences. She has been staying at a house with twin girls about her same age. One day, after breakfast, she was helping to clear and wipe the table and the twins stared at her like she was doing something wrong. It turns out that the twins don't do any sort of housework or chores. They were amazed that she would help (like it wasn't her place).  She has noticed that the school children don't get home until late and then stay up even longer doing homework. But they don't do housework. We have noticed with the children that have stayed in our house too, especially boys, that they don't do chores. Now it may be that chores have disappeared from American society too and I am... Show more
