Post One: Why this blog exists

I stumble across stuff on my daily jaunts across the internet that I think may be fodder for thought and stimulation around the teacher’s room at Boston FLI.

“Oh, you got to see this site” or “Damn, I should have emailed you the link” are the creation impetus here.

So, I now present the space for all things in conjecture, especially those entities related to being a patriot yet living as an expatriate.

And FYI (mission statement): Boston FLI is an ESL school in South Korea. We hire North American teachers to educate Korean elementary students in English conversation in order to enable future Koreans to succeed in a global economy.

These excellent teachers find outlets all over the wonderful country of Korea to voice their feelings about their own cultural identity, but it is inevitable that the teacher’s room (of any school with such a staff) would become a hotbed of conversation between class times. Thus, I present a sounding board for fermenting all these dialogues.
