A Box of Dunkin’ Donuts and a Coffee from a Parent

Yeah right that’s what I got, I feel scared the way my husband knocked on our door, you know it is a knock that scaring someone because sometimes he loves to scare me. I don’t have a plan to open the door but later on his knocks seems so in hurry and when I open the door, he has the box of Dunkin’ Donuts on the other hand and a coffee on the other hand.

It turns out that few of the parents of their students went to school to observe and one of the mother brought a box of Dunkin’ Donuts and a coffee, as Jade is on her diet she told my husband to bring them all and as my husband is on a diet I have all of these. Lol!

What is Hagwon?

Living here in Korea just feels like stressful to kids,  after school they’re going to  Hagwon to learn music, Mathematics, English, Taekwondo, Arts and etc., so it is normal to see kids and high school student in the evening. I even see high school students as late as nine o’ clock they are still in the street, walking home or inside the school bus. When I am still a student nine o’clock is already bed time for me, I wonder if they still sleep because they have to wake up early in the morning to be ready to school except if there is an afternoon class here.

If you’re wondering what is Hagwon it is a private school or as Wikipedia defined it Hagwon (Korean: 학원) (also hagweon or hakwon) is the Korean-language word for a for-profit private institute, academy or cram-school prevalent in South Korea.

Well maybe that’s why Korea is progressive than Philippines because they study well and give importance to education, as far as I remember when I am in grade school I never open my notebooks to read what is written in each pages, I would rather read a comics than my notes.  Just thanks God I am constantly in star class, sometimes I wonder if I know the word study during those times maybe I will be in honor roll, but anyway forget about that because I can’t celebrate birthday at school to treat my teachers and classmates, blow-out in short and too far to be teacher’s pet. Well we can’t deny the fact that during those times it is a plus points, I just don’t know now a days.

Anyway back to Hagwon, English Hagwon is the most popular here where a lot of native speakers worked as a teacher.  So if you are graduate of four year course and a native speaker, looking for experience and want to travel you know where to go.
