Test day

Every so often a test day pops up on the schedual. For the kids it means having four periods of tests in the morning and the afternoons off to relax. For the other teachers it means a dreaded day of checking out the kids results as our school has some of the lowest scoring kids in all of Gwangmeyong. The teachers feel the stress but when they bring up the grades to the parents they tend to not care, our school is one of the only ones in Korea where parents are more concerned with kids enjoying their Elementary School life rather than turning them into studybots. For me the day is a beautiful break from the norm, it means a day to:

a...catch up on movies
b...watch some hockey on the huge touch screen in class
c...read
d...nap at my desk

In my opinion this is the best way to make a wage.
