Kids and prizes

[Ursus]

Dont go with the fish idea. My year 2 class had that with a turtle. The best behaved child got to take it home on the occasional weekend. I got to take it home once and it died. I was inconsolable .

Also this is Korea. For all I know I might be sending home sunday dinner.

Dinner?  Naw.... Fishy will be fried and included in that kid's lunch bag the next day, along with a note from the Mom thanking you for the little tidbit.

Give them drugs.  I hear kids like drugs.

Nah I rarely accept food gifts and my students know it. Instead I get all sorts of wierd presents ranging from socks to gift sets of ornate soap. Most of the stuff I have absolutely no use for so I tend to just save it up and give it away to my friends that can use it. Likewise they save up their presents and have a useless gift swap. I got a gift pack of Spam in exchange for 5 pairs of socks and a gift box of Soju (rice wine that tastes like furniture polish hence my refusal to drink the vile crap).

The 10 cans of spam are still sitting in the corner of my closet in the event of a north korean attack. I figure I might be able to fend them off by throwing it at them.

Have to say though the day one of my 2nd grade students brought me the rice wine was a memorable one. My boss just about flipped out and ran around the building screaming. I'm not sure if he was pissed about the student bringing booze to school or pissed that he didn't get some also.

Spam?  Gross.  

My grandfather was a WW2 Vet ... they fed him spam 3 times a day for YEARS.  Until the day he died he forbid my grandmother from purchasing, preparing or even speaking about SPAM.

I cracked up about your comments concerning SPAM as a weapon.  My grandfather would have concurred ... believing it was killing him.

Spam is the escargo of Korea.  :cry2:
