New Semester

Tomorrow (Monday) is the first day of the last week of the semester.  This week I will be busy finishing books, wrapping up classes, writing student reports, and (Thurs. and Fri.) having snack parties.

Sigh.

It went so fast, and I have to give most (all?) of my good students to other foreign teachers (we trade off, usually after 1 year of teaching the same students).

In the news, I have read that a record number of Korean elementary schools are enrolling only 1 or 2 new students for a class (school year) due to the declining birth rate.

Also, by 2020, there will be far more college/university openings than high school graduates, so the government is working to shut down some colleges/universities.

Education is changing in Korea.

Let's hope that the illogical (stupid) grammar preparation for university tests changes as well . . .
