| As we are all aware, the economy in Korea is struggling. Has this resulted in a drop in attendance at your school? If so, by how much? |

The students I lost were people working in real estate, due to sales almost coming to a halt.
My increase has slowed down a bit though, but should pick up in March. |

We had a complete drop in attendance.
However, at my pubic school, we just call it "winter vacation" |

Yes, my PS also had a significant drop in attendance during winter vacation.
I expect it to stay that way until March. |

I haven't seen a huge drop...
but we were told last meeting that the school isn't making as much money (probably cause of less kids next term) and it's our fault so we need to make it better. |

Picked up 6 today.
Can't account for the other three.
I'll keep my eyes open though.  |
