There are now officially only EIGHT WEEKS LEFT until we leave this school!! To be more precise, there are 39 more working days (not that we're counting or anything!!). MaryAnne has already packed for our month long trip in July and put all of our winter clothes in suitcases. We are SO excited about leaving Korea! There are definitely pluses to being here, but right now we're feeling extremely happy about returning to Canada.
We're not familiar with every school in Korea (obviously) but from our limited experience here, the Korean education system seems to be absolutely atrocious. The parents at this school are some of the most inconsiderate, obnoxious people we have ever encountered in our entire lives. We both go out of our way to make our lessons interesting, as hands-on as possible and engaging (things Korean children are not really used to), but parents really have a way of ruining everything. For some bizarre reason, they are allowed to sit in on their child's class. This really does not help the students OR the teacher. It in fact does the exact opposite. Anyway, enough of this rant, we're just thankful that we only have 8 weeks left!
One more bizarre thing to add to the list of Korean oddities is their belief in fan death. We made a new movie about it. It's called Fan Death: The Movie Hope you enjoy it!!!
The weather is FINALLY getting nicer here and we might head to Japan in a couple weeks. We're really in the home stretch now and cannot wait to see everyone and a million other things. If there is one positive to come out of living in Korea for a year is that we're a million times more grateful to have the lives that we do and live in such a great country!!
