I'm Back

I'm sorry for not updating in so long. I have been busy and on a long vacation.

Anyway, as you can see, the title of this blog is just Kringlish Kids again. I took a transfer from the international high school to a regular public elementary school. It has been very good, but the kids here are very "normal." They don't do or say many crazy things.

The most interesting thing so far is a student refer to an apostrophe as a...

The Stone Boy Alternate Ending 1

Towards the end of the semester, I taught my favorite short story "The Stone Boy" to my second graders. Out of all the activities we did involving the story, my favorite was the creative writing assignment of writing an alternate ending to the story.

The following takes place right after Arnold accidentally shot and killed his brother Eugie...

Arnold turned Eugie's body up. He was bleeding from his forehead. And at that moment, Arnold saw a miracle. "Did you shoot me?" Eugie was alive and speaking in an absolutely normal voice!


"Eugie?" Arnold said with wide eyes. His brother brushed his bangs with his hand--it was like the toenail of an animal--and stared at Arnold desperately.


"Okay. Here's my 10-year-old secret. I'm warning you. Don't say anything." Surprised, Arnold just shook his head." Eugie washed away the pool of blood on the ground with a bucket of water. He finished cleaning the site; Arnold felt like a criminal at the site of a crime. Eugie turned around, and stared at Arnold again. His eyes were dark red. "Listen, my brother, I am a vampire. It happened ten years ago. That summer, under the punishing sunlight, I was bitten and caught by someone in the shadows. You know them. They are our mom and dad"


Arnold felt confused. He said and did nothing. And when the brothers came back home, the parents saw Arnold become a stone boy.

Be awesome...

...and support me and the Emmanuel Orphanage in South Korea. I'll be there volunteering for a week in August, so the more money KKOOM raises, the better the experience will be for the kids. Be sure to click on the DICRISPINO link.

Long overdue update

Sorry. It's been a rather busy couple of months. Here's something that started off really strong...

First, it is necessary for our society to know that mental treatment is not a big deal. For example, in Korea, people will give you a weird look if you have mental counseling. However, as far as I know, it is a common thing to go to a psychiatrist in the United State. Therefore, Koreans must acknowledge that mental ailments are just a disease that can be treated with drugs.

My first vlog

Watch me make a fool of myself

Flash Freeze

I still don't know when I'll get around to kickoff my new youtube channel, but here's something to hold you over. I participated in a Flash Mob at Insadong in Seoul. You can see me with my camera at 0:33!

Boundaries

As I have made clear in the past, Korean children have very few boundaries. For example, today my students had a medical check. I was alone in the classroom waiting for them to return and slowly 3 boys trickled in. I knew I wasn't going to be able to teach a lesson, so I just chillaxed with them.

Suddenly, without saying a word, one of them drops trou and takes off his shirt. After stripping to his doremon boxers, he then process to change into his trainer uniform because PE was his next class.

On another note, I have just started a new youtube channel. I plan to be making so videos as well, so if you like this blog, you might consider subscribing:
