writing lesson.

I teach an advanced 6th grade class. I have been teaching them how to write 5 paragraph essays. Reviewing them today almost made my eyes water. I am so proud of my babies the way they write and the way they have learned to express their opinions. For that, I shall show you guys two essays from my babies:

When a foreigners walk on streets korean people whisper some things, pointing at them, and even try to talk to them! These actions make foreigners fell that they are strange. Well, they are not animals to us. Korea is not a Xenophic Nation because we learn different languages, are excitied about foreigners, and we are not like the old days.
We learn langueges because we want to contact with outsiders. If Korea was Xenophobic Nation do you think we would learn english? If we are Xenophobic why would we learn english when we can stay together and live without foreigners. In english Acadamy, they hire foreigners to teach. Many foreign teachers say that we treat them differently. Well it is true that we treat them different because we like them. When people are close each other they can be rude and disrespectful to others.
At streets Korean do some weired things when they see foreigners. Foreigners fell very uncomfortable with these actions. Foreigners have to understand Korean because Korean people is only doin this because they want to show their English talent or feel different and they are not used to foreigners. Korean Nation don't hate foreigners, theya re trying to be in the new world.
Hundreds of years ago, Korea was attacked by many other countries, Japan, China, ......etc. Because we were one of the weakest countries, we started hate outsiders and liked pure-blood. These were the old days. Now these days, Korea try to contact with other countries because education, a new life, and technology. There is Korean people all over the place. If we dont like foreigners to cdome why are korean people go to the other country where we become a foreigner.
Many people think Korea is a Xenophobic Nation. Korea act like they don't like the outsiders because we had very bad memories that we can't forget with outsiders. Still we are trying to get use to the different wolrd where all the different people become one.

Is Korea a Xenophobic Nation? Well, this question is kind of hard to be answered as yes or no. If it has to be, answer would be yes. In opinion of mine, Koreans are in the situation between these, but more close to xenophobic. They are kind of afriad and don't like foreigners to be in their country. However, at the same time, there are fe Koerans who like foreigners and are interested in them. Now, because of these Koreans who don't like foreigners, many foreigners are getting mad about Koreans.
In one of the education center called yung-uh-maul (English Village), there was an incident that one of the teachers in that academy had touched the kinds in improper way. With this incident, KTU (Korean Teachers & Educational Worker's Union) is saying that this happened because of the foreigner teachers because they were drunk and did improer thing. However, people who really did this bad thing were two Korean teachers, who were teaching in English Village. Even though these were figured out, KTU are blaming foreigners for this criminal. Well, if these were really happened from foreigners, it would've been really a big thing to argue about.
Another reason that Koreans are xenophobic is basically because of what government is planning. They are planning that in 2010, every subject should be taught from foreigners. This is bad and good at a same time. It's bad because not many Kroeans can learn Korean that properly as we did right now. The good thing is that they can give us more good education than what Koreans can do. Some of the things what Korean teachers tell you are bunch of craps that you don't have to listen to. Some of the things that korean teachers tell you can't be called education sometimes. All they tell you is, "hate Japan, they are bunch of criminals. Dokdo is our land. You must fight for it." Well, they are not really teaching how to think, but just react without thinking. Just like Hitler who knew to control and control people. That's how he controlled all the Germans and every leaders do know how to think and know that some of the peopel are stupid. That's how they make people only feel and get fear from it and just react. Koreans are kind of afraid of foreigners will take a job away from them.
Thirdly, Koeran think "pure blood" is very important thing. Even though Koreans say, "pure blood is very important", they don't ask them a question "why?" That's what we call "you have an answer, but not the question". Just naturally, we have learnt like that. As we have learnt that Dokdo is are land, strongly, we also have heard that pure blood is very important. Howver, did we learn why it is important, and whit is it our land? All they did was forcing us to believe the facts they give us, and feel it with just reacting it without thinking.
As a conclusion, I think Koreans are kind of xenophobic nation because they blame all the bad things to foreigners, afraid of foreigners who are smarter than them and taking their job away, and they think pure blood is very important thing.

I am so proud of them to be able to have their own opinions and effectively express them.

Students' writing on Korea.

Off-Topic forum seems just the place.

I'm curious about some of the errors in there. It seems strange to me that a Korean would mistake "our" and "are." That's more of a mistake for our young.

OMG they made a ton of mistakes.

Okay, so they made some mistakes but can't you think out of the box for once, I mean Jesus. They are beautiful pieces of writing by young people.
The poster also adds a note that they are without correction.

It's sad when a foreign teacher leads his students on. I guess this teacher feels very pleased with himself for molding impressionable minds to think the same as he does.

Good work, indeed.

I guess the classroom is the earliest political battleground for the souls of a nation's youth.

But CubanLord is just passing on the own indoctrination he's received in the US.

Just like the Korean young are becoming obese, following in the footsteps of the American young, ingesting the same unhealthy fattening diet, they are also ingesting the same propaganda that the American youth are fed from an early age.

Soon at this rate of cultural imperialism (food and teaching among other things), we will have a country of people who are just like the masses in USA.

Can you Americans please explain this to me!

Can't wait.
