A Few Things

We had the internet for about a day and a half, and it's down already! My co-teacher said he would call if he gets a chance, but all teachers are busy this week. On Friday there's an all-school mid-term that includes every subject. The teachers are busy preparing the exams and the kids are cramming.
A few things I've learned about public schools in general: teachers go to class when the bell rings, not before. Students have one homeroom and the teachers change classes, the teachers have lounges where each has a desk and computer to work on. The school provides lunch for the all teachers, with a $2 charge for every meal. All teachers brush their teeth after lunch.
Tonight we're meeting a fellow American teacher for dinner in town. He's a world traveler, and has taught in 4 countries. It should be fun to chat with him! Here's a link to some of our 1st photos in Wonju: http://uwrf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2045871&l=b8c82&id=184902869
