Korean Job Discussion Forums

I work at a kindergarten/preschool. The Korean teachers want me to insist that the kids keep eating their lunches, even if they say they are full. I give my kids rewards (hearts) for good behavior. I decided to include eating their lunch in the reward. If they eat the side dishes, they get a "heart".

OK so here's the story.

The other day they served a really crunchy green stem type thing for lunch. I don't know the name. It takes forever to chew, even for me.

One of my 6 year olds took all of it, and jammed it in his mouth. Then chewed and chewed and chewed. But he couldn't break it up. So he swollowed all of it whole. It got stuck half way down his throat, and he kind of wretched, gagged, choaked it back up on to his plate.

... then picked up his chopsticks and wanted to eat it again. I told him not to and he said "I want to get a heart for eating everything!"

So, since I'm an evil teacher, and that seemed really funny, I made him eat it again. mwahahaha.

Just kidding. I told him he could have a heart for effort, but please don't eat that again.

Oh thank you! That was my first laugh today ^^ I may be a little twisted but I thought it was a cute story

one of my students says that her 60-ish ajosshi teacher supervises lunch and that if kids don't drink their milk they get beaten.

insisting that kids eat when they're full. weird.

insisting that kids drink milk, without considering that milk is gross and that some people are lactose intolerant...

CONFUCIUS RUINS LUNCH!
