Ah, so remember the lovely hate strewn article that was the previous post. Well i'm excited to say something decent has come out of it. The girl who placed first will be representing Danggok Middle school at the Gwanakgu regional competition. I'm gonna help her NAIL this contest, sadly...we only have a week to prep.
Culture clash. My co-teacher basically asked me to rewrite the entire paper for the girl and then give it to her, to which I elegantly replied "no, i don't do that." When he looked perplexed I explained that, just like i let go the bullshit that was the grading as mentioned in the last post because of culture he would have to understand that it went against my morals to do a students work for them (even if it was culturally acceptable here). He understood that part I'm delighted to say.
Regardless I'll be working with this girl for the next week and it'd be pretty righteous to represent for danggok seeing as were a pretty shitty school. Wish her luck!
Update: no apparently i will not be working with her. Her sisters boyfriend will help her. apparently he "lived in america for a long time". which i'm sure makes him more qualified than an actual native english speaker with a degree in english. oh well, good luck to her still.
