Korean Job Discussion Forums

I plan on reiterating my 'wash your hands' policy in the classroom this morning. However this time I'll explain that there's a new sickness that may be in Korea (no confirmed cases yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time).

Will you discuss this with your (young) students? How will you talk about it?

I applaud your effort on this subject my Canadian neighbor, but your beating a dead horse. Wash your hands with what? Water and um.. Water!
I see one bar of soap or the equivelant in every 1 out of 100 sinks in K-land. Yes, your statement is absolutely 100% valid somewhere else.

Phuk it, while I'm here, do you think the students really give a swine's ass about the viral strain designation of the latest and greatest influenza virus circulating this rock? Bring in a flamethrower. That should sterilize your classrooms! More effective than soap!!

The thing that concerns me the most is parents sending their obviously-ill children to school. Packed classrooms, poor sanitation, etc. Schools here are the perfect incubator for this kind of thing.

And many of us are dead-smack in the middle of them.

Why would one bother trying to broach the subject of public health in K-land following the mad cow fiasco? Science, fact and rationality don't play a role in the debate there.

How much fear does the media need to spread before educated people catch onto what they are doing?

Fear campaign -you idiots to control the masses and sell drugs.

They made serious bucks with the bird flu scare.

Wake up people.

Maybe the should try that one next " Attention mass pink eye pandemic"

I guess it doesn't sound as scarey as a pig flu death disease. I do believe in real diseases but sorry to say this one looks like another fear trip.

I think a zombie strain would be cool and it would expalin why all those zombie movies were made.

Good job comparing apples to oranges there with the pink eye thing.

Rusty Shackleford:I asked my co-teach,
"Why is there no hot water in the school?"
"Because the students might burn their hands", was the response I received.

This was after I had spent 10 minutes explaining to her why 30% of the students had pink eye.

Now that you mentioned it, same here! Holy Shit, that's the reason for no hot water! I thought it might have been to save on energy costs.
