 |
|
I was in the toy department at Homeplus the other day and considered getting my students Christmas gifts. If I were to spend a few thousand won per student, I'd be shelling out a couple hundred thousand won. It's a lot of lettuce from my wallet, but I can afford it, and I really like the kids.
Here's one of the problems. It's an all-or-none situation. I can't give presents to my favorites and ignore the other kids. Plus, the other teachers' kids will wonder where their gifts are.
Should I just get everyone some candy or a cheap pencil?
Should I forget the idea and give the money to charity?
Should I burn an upside down cross on my forehead and write "Helter Skelter" on the hogwon walls with kimchi? |

Should you think for yourself?
Would you get online and ask people this facile question back wherever you're from?

| Giving pencils to the kids who never have them -- thanks for the idea! |

You HATE me? Man, calm down. Who cares if I like to ask and answer a lot of questions on here. Maybe you have too much pride to ask questions, Mr. Know-It-All. I've seen a few of your posts where you come across as a complete a$$. If you're tired of certain questions, why don't you just take a break from this site. Get a girlfriend or something. |

Why. They instantly lose them. I can't figure out what kids do with pencils. Perhaps they eat them, or use them for firewood, or build a house in the country. Buying kids pencils is like flushing your loot down the toilet. |
