The Korean Child

The other day when I went to the creepy empty theme park, I had to get up real early to catch a bus. I caught the bus on the other side of town and to my shock (and horror) it was packed to the gills with sweaty Korean adolescents. At 7:00 AM. Going to school. 

It started to dawn on me what these kids go through in a normal week. Some of them are there until 5:00 PM and then they come to see us at the English Academy. No wonder they're all demonic or in deadly depression by the time they come to my class. And not only that....they have SIX DAY SCHOOL WEEKS!  Being as open minded as possible of course... it's really stupid.

That's sick ... no wonder the kids are so awful by the time you get them. Sheesh.
