I am teaching English at my children’s elementary school on Saturdays. I have been quite impressed with the solidity of Korean elementary education and am enjoying working with the teachers. There is already one American English teacher who teaches at Changchung Elementary School. My class is meant as a comparison of Korean and American culture and habits. The students are quite responsive. Interestingly, they are broken up into six groups and I am supposed to give them points by groups for their participation. Some of the kids speak English quite well and many enthusiastically ask questions. Because we want to include everyone in the discussion, they are not required to speak in English to ask a question.
