My school will be having a sports festival next week. Usually my department does not do very well because most of the students are female. Not many Korean gals participate in sports.
This year we have a lot of big boys, so I am hoping for better results.
One of the events is the tug of war. Every year I watch the tug of war and it seems like in Korea, each team likes to put their biggest 'tuggers' at the front of thier group. I have always thought that the big 'tuggers' go at the end of the rope, in order to get more leverage and create the anchor.
I told my students my opinion today, and they said that I was wrong.
What do you think? Big guys at the front or the back of the line?

Big ones at the end to weigh the rope down.

Yeah, at my school the biggest girls always go up at the front of the rope. Vocational students tend to be stronger than academic students, too.

Big boys = anchors, no question.

Just tell them to stuff their hats full of cabbage, and they'll be fine.
