Oh Korea...

I haven't posted one of those "Oh Korea" moments in a while, but school is always a good breeding ground for those types of stories.
We have this student Ron, he is about eight years old. He has been at our school for about five months and hasn't learned a word of English (which is NOT a reflection on our teaching!). He could be a poster child for ADD, I have him two days a week and Richard has him three, and each day we dread going into Ron's class. Sometimes we make bets how long it will take for him to be sent out into the hall, or how many times. My record for sending him out is three times in one 40-minute class. Anyhow, he is also this way with his Korean teacher and nothing seems to get him to behave, so when the Korean teacher was calling parents last week, he mentioned the problems we have with Ron, and his mother's response to Richard was, "Well just tell the teachers if he is bad in class they should just hit him."
