When MERS Attacks!
My boss sent me a rather rushed message last night regarding my work for the next day, the gist of which was; no school tomorrow. Please stay home. This is because South Korea is on high alert at the moment, especially in my close area, due to the recent outbreak of the MERS virus*. This is pronounced like “Merris” for…

Arguments with Children
Arguments with children…I don’t know why I even allow myself to be suckered in – EVERY SINGLE TIME. Perhaps it’s some kind of vague ambition to truly educate, and make a difference…so that years in the future the now fully grown child reminisces and admits: “He was right! I’m so thankful he steered me in the right…

A Suffocating Child
I remember seeing the little warning notes on plastic carrier bags as a kid…something along the lines of ‘To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children!’ And like most people (I imagine) I thought “DURRRRRRRRRR! Why must people constantly be told what is glaringly obvious?!” Well…hmmm…about that one… Today I wandered into a classroom to be…

Peed my Pants.
Let me vent about a horrible little BASTARD at my work-place…this piece of shit, urghhhh – look alright, I’m sorry and everything, but this simply has to be said. I can’t put it off any longer, and I can’t let this kind of behaviour slide for one second more! I just can’t let it pass! After all, if I…

Kids Go CRAZY.
So there was some weirdness today, as there is every day…actually it is so common place that I feel silly even reporting it to you – but nonetheless I will, as it got me thinking about something… You see I was in the soft play bit of the kindergarten school, and had probably just fell…

Mystery Note…
There’s a fine line between creepy, and cute… Who is Claire? Who is Lisa? And are they watching me with binoculars in a tree right this second?! www.facebook.com/storytimewithjohn www.youtube.com/storytimewithjohn101

Curse of the Ninja
Was reminded of this childhood memory by Melanie, after my previous post regarding childhood lies! When I was in primary school, like most kids my age – I used to love The Power Rangers. The kicking, the punching, the flipping, the monsters, and the explosions…I mean, the whole package appealed really. So it wasn’t a rare sight to…

Tarzan’s Embarrassment
A tale of embarrassment, and woe – straight from the most cringe worthy section of my childhood’s chronicles! www.facebook.com/storytimewithjohn

Fight Club
I would like to think I am a lover, and not a fighter…after all, usually physical conflict doesn’t really solve much when you think about it. Obviously some people make it very tempting, but more often than not, non-peaceful ways to shut them the hell up, are somewhat frowned upon! Naturally if your dear old…

Batman Returns
You may not expect it, but as a kindergarten teacher – you have to be VERY aware of what you wear, on a daily basis. If you just slap on clothes, without a second thought…you are asking for trouble! Case in point, today I haphazardly threw on a Batman t-shirt, under an open shirt – without really…
