School was a rude awakening. But I did a lesson on stereotypes and these kids really impressed me. They all heartily agreed that every Korean hates Japan, but they wrote some awesome messages to the world about who they are.

A team of people from Stanford and Harvard visited in the middle of this class. They couldn't have had worse timing. My lesson was prepped so that if they came at the start they'd be blown away by my presentation and our intellectual game. In fact, my principal proudly lead them in just before a video describing students frustrations with stereotypes, school, and Korean culture.

Not exactly the shining veneer he would have liked to portray to important visitors!
