Colin's Favorite Second Grade Class
My son Colin's Second Grade Class in Seoul, Korea. They don't look like trouble to me...
And hey. Peace to you, too!

Hey Bruce, As a former 'pagan' you know you can't trust those peace-niks?! That Korean toddler, he's probably really flashing you a Winnie! You know, Winston Churchill - he was asking 'you want a drag off his cigar?' Only this one's asking for a toke off your 'j'. You're correct - these kiddies look like they love their teacher. I think some Dude may need to take some of the 'fils' opines about Korea with a gram of scotch. Maybe, they didn't get 'enough' while they were there? Guy Madison
Is his class a pretty average cross section of Korean kids? Because most of the boys look like young nerds, while the girls look pretty normal, compared to US kids.
It might say alot about the culture, or not, but I'm curious.
Not sure, Scott. The kids are in a very ritzy Catholic school--all rich kids. The uniforms are going to hide social differences of course, so it is hard to know. I would assume that they LOOK like normal, typical second grade Korean city kids.
I'm a 32-years-married dad of three, self-employed woodworker-type fella.
The kids are 28, 21, and 16. Being left behind by two sons has resulted in a simpler life. While reunions are cherished, there is a certain je ne said quois character to a nearly empty nest that I find I can recommend.
