those koreans...
So, reading the Time magazine on the crowded tube (which in a way was a blessing in disguise because it acted as a human shield in the cold) I read that in South Korea, the pressure to perform is bad for students, that capitalism has taken advantage of a poor students plight to failure…
If you were in trouble in any way, and I can sympathise with these students because I have undergone the same traumatic experience - having your family, most notably your mum, being called upon by your tutor/teacher/principal…this was the most embarrassing and painful experience to go through…
Your own flesh and blood, your family name being disgraced at a private school of which your own dad slogs his brains out for. You don’t want them to know that you are hanging around with the “12 monkeys” or the fact that you cheated on Duke of Edinburgh, or even worse got one detention to many for the most absurd reasons like chewing gum, and shirt hanging out in the cool fashion of left side down front, and right side down back…
A country’s solution….
Form a legal company that will send “fake parents” out with your children…the real parents never know, the teachers don’t know…basically its an agency for “fake parents”. They charge around $30 for a phone call to the school, and into hundreds for personal meetings with school officials…
I don’t want to copy a whole article, but what it fails to impact is the negative impact it will have on our children. Forget nuclear power, terrorism, the main threat in the world is this…to be able to BUY fake parents will no doubt make us more and more independent on any morals, and any responsibility to do well for ourselves. The pressure of performance vanishes, the competition dwindles and all you have is a bunch of fakes and phonies who really havn’t got a clue what is going on, but at least can buy themselves out of trouble…
Im only 25 but at least I know that I want to be sure that I know what my kid is doing. Bright eyed, tall and strong he may be, but I will not be a substitute to an import from Parent Ltd , £300 an hour , “yes Mr Head teacher, my son understands, where do I sign thank you and good day” robotic impersonation of my beautiful self….
Ok a bit hot headed and random…but its always nice to learn a new thing everyday!
Also was able to upload pictures from the Sony 800i that I have had since summer.
Now the many weird looks I have had to endure when I stop in the middle of nowhere or somewhere and flash as eagerly as the Chinese tourist next to me, now at last I have some kind of relief for those stupid common looks!
Heres a sample of life since summer 2006 which involved a trip to the countryside, a job with boxes, and a trip to Japan for Lee’s wedding, and my return more importantly …
