I don't see those ads but i do have an ad blocker so maybe that is why. Absolutely essential if you are showing YouTube in class to your students too - no annoying ads.
I think everyone here needs to remember a few things-1) Kids everywhere love to wind up their teachers. You may say this was never done during your time as a kid, but I suspect that in at least one class, you and your friends did something to get the teacher going. Especially when a good chunk of people on this forum are people who have tales of drunken misadventure for much of their 20s. If you did that when you were 28, odds are you did that when you were 8.2) Kids everywhere love to invent ways to try and get out of schoolwork. It's all part of the game. Also, kids are messy everywhere. I know you think you were a model of hygiene and trash disposal, but one feel on the inside of a 3rd grade desk back home and you'll quickly realize how universal this is. Enjoy the various things things that your hand will feel/become attached to3) If you want to discipline, increase in severity the response, not your tone. Explode with giving them extra assignments or cleanup duty. Not exploding with screaming and yelling.
Getting old is shit. I turned my right knee a few weeks ago but it wasn't painful at the time, but since then my knee kind of clicks (not audibly) when I walk. So I went to the doctor in Daejeon yesterday and he said I have 'early osteoarthritis' in my right knee. I love being active, doing exercising, hiking, football etc. Now, I suppose I've got to rethink what to do to keep active without making this crap worse. I might get a second opinion in Seoul in the next couple of weeks... Like I said, getting old is crap.
Unpopular opinion, but if you don't pay a fee for a service, then watch the ad. Youtube is free. That's the cost. The ad.

I train for sprinting 6 days a week and the tape really does minimize the risk of my knees and ankles getting injured. Other than the tape, RICE; Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
Waygookin: 1 large cheese pizza please. Demartino: Our state of the art pen and notepad aren't able to decipher 'cheese pizza' therefore your request has been denied.
There is a KT shop in the slightly bigger small town from me, where the 1 lady that works there will absolutely refuse to let me into the shop without a Korean person with me.When my contract finished, and I got told I could go renew it for a large discount, I went a couple times by myself, and tried to show her the message from KT (which was is in Korean), she literally just tried pushing me out the door while saying "opso" repeatedly. Finally managed to get my co-T on a non-busy day to come with me, and it took like 5 minutes, and while she was doing it, she'd keep looking at me, and giving me an angry facial expression haha.

The person is probably freaked out about getting something wrong and some dispute arising, which might well have happened before in their past. You did the right thing. If something bad happened with another foreign customer and she's applying it to you, that isn't fair to you, but her wanting to have a Korean speaker there to ensure no miscommunication is understandable.She could still not be such an ass about it.

I was thinking about that tape, or getting hold of a decent knee support sock. Does the tape take hairs off when you pull it off? The couple of times that someone has stuck a 'Passeuh' on me, have been incredibly painful to remove. Other than the RICE stuff, it's just kind of disappointing to have this in my early-forties. It'll degenerate, which upsets me most.
Am I the only person who thinks that students should be scared of their teachers?I don't mean learning in constant fear, but the idea that if you fukk about, and in ways that are very CLEAR and OBVIOUS, that there will be hell to pay?Is that just me? Man, I remember Mme. Mullholland. The last thing I'd want to do is piss her off, Jesus.
