Actually, this has never happened.
What usually happens is I see them struggling with a math problem with another teacher (mainly their math teacher), and jump right in there with my mad skills. What Koreans lack in creativity, they make up for in tenacity, so you can't hate on them for not being able to think outside the box. I, however, sometimes lacking in smarts, make up for it tenfold with creative (mathematically speaking, at least) thinking. I just love tackling a good old fashioned math problem. Totally serious...don't be a hater.

Anyway, they needed some help with this little diddy. Since no one else shares my affinity and love for Le Mathematique, I won't bore you with the details. Needless to say though, when the math teacher here thought this problem was lacking the information needed to figure this bad boy out, Miss. Bergamo was on the case, figurin' 'er out.
Nice-uh.
Note: one more day of classes before Sports Day all day Thursday followed by a day off for Buddha's birthday. Sweet. Headed to some island for some fun in the sun...supposed to rain, but I'm sure our positive thoughts will stave that off.
Also, my Korean mum is mad at me for not coming to the 8:30 am Teacher's Day celebration. I can feel her hostility. Yikes.
