The best of this week’s quotes from my elementary students in South Korea (and some thrown in from friends too)
Firstly, this is only my second day at school this week due to Korean Thanksgiving so I ain’t got a lot to share but my students DID do writing work during the break and came up with some gems during their written work.
Before all that, a note pinned to the wall outside our local bar explaining it’s closed for Thanksgiving:
***
Kid: ‘I don’t like buddism because I go to church.’
***
Kid: ‘Today is my mom and dad wedding anniversary but I’m not give my present but my parents say ‘we’re precious in your and be born’. That time my heart is moved and my heart happy cry.’
***
Kid, re: Costco trip: ‘There were many people so I experience inconvenience.’

From my mother, who’s a music teacher in Ireland:
While teaching a kid what an octave is:
Mam: ‘Ok, think of an octopus? How many legs does an octopus have?’
Kid: ‘Three!’
***
From April and her 7-year-old kindergarten students:
Kid: ‘Teacher, did you vote for Obama?’
Rich Teacher, joking: ‘Did YOU for Obama?’
Kid, thinks: ‘Nah, I don’t like his mustache. I don’t wanna see his mustache all over the TV.’
