My students

Well I realized I haven't posted a blog about my students yet so I figured it is about time....

First let me tell you a little about my job... In Korea kids not only go to school but before and after school they go to specialized academies where they study individual subjects... There are Math academies, science academies, english academies, chinese academies, music academies, and the list goes on and on forever... The kids spend way too much time studying and have hardly any time for themselves...But thats just the way it is in Korea, I asked one of my youngest students about it and he said "teacher, I get up at 5 am in order to be at chinese academy by 6:30, then i go to school, then I come here to study english at 4pm, and then I go to math academy at 7:30, and then I go to my piano lessons at 9pm, than I come home and eat dinner and do my homework." Then I asked, when do you go to sleep. And he replied, "around 1"

So these kids live to study, all in hopes of a better future...Or so their parents wish...

I teach about 75 of the naughtiest funniest children I have ever met... The range in age from 7-16....

Contrary to my former opinion my middle school children are the easiest to deal with...It's my elementary school aged kids that I just can't handle... Before I came here I thought that middle school kids would be harder, but boy was I wrong...I have so much fun in my middle school classes...I love those kids....

Here are some of my students

She thinks she is shy, but really, she's far from it...


Here is one of my crazy elementary students, he always tells me "teacher I am ADHD"



She is one of my more well behave elementary students, she tells me I am her best friend....

Here are some of my youngest students...The kids are Korean 9...So that would make them 7 or 8 in the US.

And these are some of my elementary students actually studying, who would have thought???
