I just had my class all messed up because the kids are practicing playing recorders. If your Korean employee can't speak English they can at least show off their recorder playing talents in the office.

This meant I was leaving my class early so I just walked into the next class and said ok lets have English now. One kid freaked out and the teacher said "English class is in 30 minutes". I said "lets have it now" and she looked at me like I was a freak. It gave me an idea to see if I started changing everything around last minute like they do how they would react to that.

I think it would be fun to walk up to my co-teacher 5 minutes before class and announce that we are going for lunch.

Yeah today, I waited until 1 minute before class and then asked my co-teacher to talk about the Crusades and give a vocabulary test. No prep time is fine, right?

Then I asked for a 47 page set of lesson plans by 8AM tomorrow. It's a project that's been due for 3 months but I feel the day before is the appropriate time to let them know.

It's a 단소.

Maybe it's a danso (단소) but maybe not. At my school, some grades play the danso (단소) but other grades play another kind of instrument that's more or less similar to a recorder. Don't know what it's called, though.
