Blogs and the Case of the Missing Student #2


Blogs.

I used to write a lot in blogs.

Lazy, I guess.

Anyway, I arrived in my class today with another student gone. For good. I guess his parents wanted to enroll him in a different English kindergarten. Okay. But why can't we say goodbye?! And again, I was not told until I asked my students after noticing his books were gone. Yikes!

Being a teacher at a private school in South Korea can be difficult sometimes. I shouldn't be surprised. Last year students came and went all the time at my evening hagwon. Kindergarten has actually been better about it. Some kids leave, but most stay.

It will never be easy for me to say goodbye, especially when you don't actually get the chance to say 'goodbye', but I'll survive.

Here's wishing you a great life, Tyler! May your new school treat you well and enjoy your company as much as I have! May they appreciate your goofy humor and give you the time needed to flourish in in English.
