I'm sure they will accomplish amazing things and you did a great job for them, but part of me really feels for those kids.
Right on.
I tried to balance that; I really did. I tried to teach while making class time as low-stress as possible because these kids are in school 12-16 hours a day 6 days a week.
I was certainly unorthodox compared to the Korean teachers, but fuck it, I got results.
I don't know about Korea (though I assume), but here the biggest issue is that kids are made to believe English is a school subject. You study for tests and exams, for certification worksheets.
If you can make it fun for them and make them feel like they are learning a fun life skill they can use for their own purposes, it makes things so much easier.
