Random Conversation: American Students vs. Korean Students
Part of a conversation I had with a Korean teacher about differences in middle school students and elementary school students today:
Me - “When the students at my school go to sleep, I yell by their ear and wake them up.”
Korean Teacher - “You should be careful, there has been an issue with students hitting teachers here.”
Me - “That doesn’t worry me.”
Korean Teacher - “Why?”
Me - “In America, students have been known to pull guns and shoot up schools. Hitting is the least of my worries.”
Not to say Korean kids cant' be annoying. . . . . Trust me; kids will always be kids. But at least this country has very strict gun laws. (It also doesn't hurt that I'm bigger than they are but quite a bit.). One of my friends used to be a teacher in one of the rougher districts in Atlanta and she saw more things with younger kids than I would want to admit to. I can only wonder what will happen when the day comes that I go back home and become a certified teacher back home.
