1) No, I'm using the ****** classroom computer whether you want me to or not. I'm the one who made it run better to begin with because you guys had a crap-ton of malware and unnecessary software installed on the betch, so if it's running slow, it's not because of me, it's because of something you or a student ****** did. Look, see? I found a shit-ton of malware, and no, it wasn't put there by me. Stop ****** blaming the foreigner every time something isn't working right. Oh, you mean no one else has had access to this computer? Are you ****** sure about that? Because you guys leave this ****** computer unattended and unlocked all the ****** time so that anyone can get to it. Oh, the students would never get on the computer without permission and you're positive that none of the other teachers have been ****** around it (including yourself)? Okay, Ima install this motion detection software on this ****** thing to see who gets on and then we'll see about that. *comes in next week to KT insisting that I just sit in the classroom and stare at the ****** desk instead of using the computer because it's running slow again and they're positive that's MY fault* It's not my fault, I left the computer in more than perfect working order last week, and it just so happened to crap out in the middle of the week while I wasn't even here? Have YOU done anything to the computer? No, you haven't been on it? What about the students? You've already told me that the students would never touch it without permission? Okay, okay. *checks backlog of saved recordings, finds a TON of vids of KTs and students using the computer throughout the week, shows everyone, continues using the computer without any more arguments, removes all the ****** software installed by the students and the malware that got installed along with them* ****** children. And not even talking about the students.

I can't believe these 6th graders think the Han river is bigger than the Amazon river.And Jeju is bigger than Hawaii. They act shocked and offended when I show them the comparisons.

It was if i was perfoming sorcery in the class. Their minds were exploding.I teach in a university!

Did you know that peanuts are legumes (beans)?That vanilla is a fruit?Strawberries, apples and pears are technically not actual fruit?Coffee beans are berries?Rhubarb is a vegetable?One could make a pretty interesting goldenbell ppt out of food/plant facts. Also, as Miles Kington once said: “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”
Vancouver Island is practically the same size as the Republic of Korea.

Did you know that peanuts are legumes (beans)? Yes, more of a pea than a nutThat vanilla is a fruit? As it is a seed pod, it fits the definition perfectlyStrawberries, apples and pears are technically not actual fruit? technically they are berries - a pod holding multiple seeds, which ironically mmeans most fruit we call "berries" are not actually berries - The strawberry is actually a "false fruit" as the seeds are not encased withing the flesh/casingCoffee beans are berries? no, the coffee cherry is a berry (multiple seeds in a pod/case), but the coffee "bean" is the stone inside. Akin to a peach pitt if you will.Rhubarb is a vegetable? Rhubarb is indeed a vegetable. I come from the area known as "The Rhubarb triangle"!One could make a pretty interesting goldenbell ppt out of food/plant facts.

First of all, it's not a matter of taking offence. It's just an example of how small of a world view people can have. Secondly, most adult Koreans know that their country is very small. Even if adult Koreans didnt know the relative size of Hawaii, they wouldn't be shocked to hear that it's bigger than any place in Korea. I think the students just haven't realised it yet. Third, Hawaii is not an obscure island. They know what Hawaii is. Whenever I ask my students what they know about the USA, Hawaii is always up there with L.A./California, NY, Texas etc. Not knowing something is different than being shocked/unaccepting of the information. I don't think they understand the relative size of anything in Korea to anywhere else in the world.
