| I've taught at least two Korean albino kids. Their hair certainly wasn't black. |

My hair isn't black, but dark brown - my freshman students asked me just last week if I had dyed my hair. I hadn't - and I had grey hair to prove it. |
We know that, but do you think the she-wolf at the gate cares?
No, she cares about the school spirit! Uniformity is unity!
Any hint of individualism must be smited with swift stroke of the sword of righteousness.
Isn't the the esprit de corp a lot of fun?  |
Do you think you're funny? I mean, is this you trying to be clever? |

| 'The She-Wolf at the Gate' sounds like Mother Superior (Kathy Bates) in the 2000 movie (not the latest Borak one) Bruno--"long on comedy, short on pants". |

She-wolf (늑대) is a standard character in Korean school dramas.
Also known as Old-fox (여우) and B-you-know-what-ch (개년).
She is usually middle-aged, anal-retentive,with conservative ideas about women's role in the society.
And she doesn't mind, or seems to relish handing out corporal punishments.
Not exactly 'Prime of Miss Jean Brodie', you know?
She-wolves are the most enthusiastic about morning gate duties.
There, they look out for subversives who are out to undermine the school spirit.
If a student gets detected on her radar, then it's video-camera moment. |

A misnomer? Excuse me, is your name Miss Nomer?
Consult a dictionary before you ever use that word in a sentence again, please. |
