I occasionally had my shirt sleeve pulled up by a student to show my arm hair to the rest of the class -- who usually didn't care much. I realized after it happend three or four times that it was always the same student, and one who has a very visible skin condition. Methinks, no coincidence.
She's the only one. |
All look same, huh?  |
Heheheh!
Brings up an interesting side topic to the "all look same" issue, which is that when I got here, all my hudred kids looked nearly identical. Now, their faces seem so different, so unique, that none of them "look" Korean to me. Now, of course, this belies my underlying prejudice that Asians all look the same!
I now have no trouble at all telling individuals apart, even after seeing them once. I still can't tell Chinese from Japanese from Korean though. |
Wow, a hundred kids! I can see how that would make it hard to remember who was who. Never have trouble recognising individuals but names are a different matter. I can often spot Japanese or Chinese just from style and demeanour, but I still suck at that online test. |

I demand English surnames. On second thought, instead of David1 and David2, I may now actually get David Smith1, David Smith2. And of course David Sperling1 and David Sperling2.  |
