One of the aspects of my hagwon* that impressed me the most during the interview process was the close relationships the teachers are able and encouraged to have with their students. Today I had the pleasure of making a new acquaintance when I went into the third floor girls' bathroom, coughed, then went about with what one usually does in the bathroom. From the stall beside me, I heard one of the student's voices.
"Jaime?"
"Oh, no. This is Lindsay Teacher. Who are you?"
"I am Daisy."
"Nice to meet you, Daisy."
"Oh, no. This is Lindsay Teacher. Who are you?"
"I am Daisy."
"Nice to meet you, Daisy."
"Nice to meet you ...Teacher."
...
"Ok, well, see you later, Daisy."
"Good bye, Teacher."
"Good bye, Teacher."
I walked out shaking my head and laughing to myself.
