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!
