my first love note
I received my first “love note” today from one of my students.
He’s a super-smart kid ~ he just returned from an English Acheivement Camp, where he received the award for #1 student. He’s one of the kids who goes to school from 8am-10pm every day ~ regular school, After School Activities (more class with me), hagwon (evenings until 10 or 11) ~ plus some weekends and language camps. I noticed him the first week of school, because he looked so tired ~ almost fragile.
Anyway, the way it works is that the student writes a note on paper distributed through the counseling office specifically for the purpose. The note is then given to the homeroom teacher, who passes it on to the recipient (in this case, me). The recipient then responds, gives the note back to the teacher, who then passes it on to the student.
I’m sure it is not unusual for the foreign teachers to get notes, but it is really special and sweet. I will post a photo of this sweet boy sometime.
