Teacher's Day

    On Friday, I received numerous gifts throughout the day from my students.  The gifts were for Teacher's Appreciation Day (May 15).  It is a day to thank teacher's for their dedication and hard-work.  I was very appreciative of the gifts that I received.  The gifts ranged from Starbuck's gift certificates to Prada perfume and MAC make-up. 
     Many parents give the gifts for thanks, but some believe that if they give a great gift, their student will receive extra attention.  Bribery has been a growing problem in Korea, especially among teachers and tutors.  I am glad to say that I treat every child as an equal.
