shake it out...

thoughts on korean students...or korean youth...or maybe korean culture in general.

every korean student comes with a mirror.
after she finished her final final, one girl stared in her hand-held mirror. the entire time. until the end of class. like half an hour. seriously.

completely normal: plastic surgery. especially the coveted double eyelid. i challenged my students to write a 100-item bucket list for extra credit and one girl said she wanted to "have two eyelid before 20 years old". i also have an 8th grade student who had the surgery done over winter break.

"teacher, photoshop my eyes bigger" "teacher, my face is too big" i heard when i showed them a photo i took of them with their speech teacher.

my students noted and commented one day when my part was a bit on a different side.

yet they don't seem to remember a deadline they are reminded of 5 days in a row.

hmm.
graduation last friday! photos to come. finals this week for the rest of the students. quotes to come!
