 |

I'm heading to Jeju island with about 300 first-year high school girls on Sunday.
Today the Principal has another person tell me to watch out what the girls do in photos with me -- don't let them get out of hand like last year's trip.
I wasn't here last year, and the other foreign teachers are gone. I'm dying to know what it was the girls did! |

You're bringing 300 girls to Jeju by yourself? Why? what are you doing? and what kind of school has the students take a field trip like that? I need that type of job, sounds like a blast!
But seriously, what are you doing in Jeju? Other than a few things, I can't imagine what you'd want to do here for a day?

The kids are probably going off for MT or membership training.I work at a middle school and my 1st and 2nd years are off up mountains next week for a few days. I am going with my 3rd year boys to an amusement park. Ahsa! |

It's their 1st year class trip. The 1st year students take a trip to Jeju every year.
There will probably be at least 15 to 20 other teachers there. |

| Couple years ago my middleschool girls went to Jejudo. Last morning they got their hands on a fire extinguisher & pretty much totalled a room & a hallway in their hotel. One irate hotel-owner on the phone, one dumbfounded principal, some fairly stern consequences. Highschool kids (boys anyway) would view a trip like this as licence to smoke & drink with tacit approval from parents & teachers, who did the same in their day. Its not really your job to rein them in Derrek but dont be seen encouraging them. |

| schwa is right, a photo of you with a bunch of girls holding some beer for example might land you in a big heap of trouble. |

Oh gawd.... I did that in High School!
But we blew the fire extinguisher on a tree behind the house -- not in a hotel! |

Well, there may be an extra ticket...
One of my coworkers hasn't returned from a family emergency back home, and one of the Koreans in charge of the trip is getting nervous. I got called about it today. Hopefully my forienger coworker will show up tonight. His cousin, who has his cellphone, didn't expect him back until tomorrow though. 
I hope he's on the trip. I'll get pretty bored with no other foriegner to talk to! |

Ha... I was more worried about a girl posing for a photo, and just before the shutter snaps, she smooches me on the cheek.
That has been tried before. |

| Okay, I'll bite. Anyone else want to know what could have happened on this trip with anyone other than Derrek? Where are the follow-up stories? |

I felt that a couple years ago when some students went abroad, but because I taught a different grade, we went to some MT place, where the teachers just watched the kids do physical training for a few days.
A ton of schools goto Cheju though...mine has many times, however I was always teaching the wrong grade so never went  |
