We got a new student in 6th grade a few weeks ago who is absolutely stellar in English. He attended the Daegu English Village, a very good English program in nearby Daegu, before coming to Andong. But whenever you get a new student, you worry about them fitting in. So I was naturally concerned when we did the comparisons lesson and our new student, Minho, at barely 4 feet tall and maybe 65 pounds dripping wet, was paired with our sumo-wrestler 6th grader, Taeyong, to write 3 comparisons sentences about each other. At the end of class, each pair was instructed to come and read me their three sentences.
Taeyong:
"I am taller than Minho. I am bigger than Minho. I am stronger than Minho."
Minho (slightly bored with the remedial-for-him activity):
"I am shorter than Taeyong. I am weaker than Taeyong. I am smarter than my whole class."
I think he'll be OK.

He'll be beaten into submission sooner or later.
ReplyDeletehaha, what a funny kid.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It's good to know, that he knows that he is smarter than his whole class. Soon the class will realize he is the "go to person" for all kinds of things.
