I don't understand these really narrow roads that they allow cars to drive two ways on?Where I come from, any road that isn't big enough to fit two cars gets labeled as a 1way road. People generally follow the rules, no traffic congestion, honking, no people basically trying to drive up the side of a building to get around other cars. It's so much easier than having to wait while a car drives down a road before you can go & hoping no one else tries to drive at the same time as you. It seems like common sense...

It seems like common sense...Preaching to the choir...Thankfully, some districts are adopting conversions to one-way streets.As I'm sure you can image, there is always a lot of pushback, but give it time ;)

I'm not allowed to speak Korean at school (incredibly limited as it is), and even saying the page number in Korean results simply in gasps and shocked looks from the students rather than actually turning to that page because "OMG Teacher is speaking Korean."I've had it with this school and I've got 9 more months on my contract. I dread going to school. I feel completely incompetent. The lack of communication from the school, the lack of ability to communicate with the other teachers, the expectation that the kids will just magically "know" English when they get 40 minutes a week with a NET they can't understand and 40-80 minutes with a crappy CD played by a homeroom teacher who can't speak English, is ridiculous.

Whoever it was very carefully and meticulously peeled it off so that, I guess, it could be re-used. On the upside, though, they did no damage to the poster as a result. Mysteriously, Ryan and Neo remain untouched. I'm going to superglue the replacement down.
You can be 10 mins early for 3 months and if you're 2 mins late, "You are late." Yeah, I know, don't be late, but cut me some frigging slack.

Literally two minutes late after being five-ten early for months and the principal was all over me. Thankfully that principal has moved on. The new one seems completely unconcerned with my arrival time.
