Go one page back in the comments section.  The person who posted the video says it's fake and can't believe it has gotten so many hits.  It was just a fun project that he did with his class to keep them motivated.</description>

		<description>#11,
Nice try, but it's commonly written without the subscript g.</description>

		<description>#10: You should've written F [subscript g] = mg. 

But on to this topic: This idea is as likely to happen as Little Elvis going capitalist.</description>

		<description>#1,

Of please.  I was trying to explain to my students the meaning of the word 'gravity', so I wrote F=mg on the board.  Some twit (an engineering student to boot), thinking he was smarter than this foreigner who couldn't possibly know anything about sciences  tried to correct me by saying I should have written F=ma.</description>

		<description>I'm sure Korean teachers' unions - and the larger umbrella organizations they're affiliated with - won't exactly be delighted at prospect of foreign teachers getting a greater proportion of public school teaching jobs.  This might get to the level of a pilot program at some point, but I can't see this becoming the norm in Korean public schools for years to come, if ever.  Too bad because it could be a really great development for English education here...</description>

		<description>Ha! Good video #7.
I want to see the rest of it to know what the rest of the reaction was from the students. 
Why would this teacher do this on camera? A bit extreme...well said CM.

I did respond the same way to cell phone call in my class by a college student by answering it in English and telling the caller they disrupted my class. That student never returned.

 I had my children students color pictures of hand phones with the big red bar across them and pasted them all over my class. Adult students learned to turn them off or not to bother coming. Nothing was ever said.

re; thread topic, good idea, if you can find the qualified and willing teachers. Multiple subject immersion is a great way to learn.</description>

		<description>My understanding is that they're &lt;del&gt;copying&lt;/del&gt; benchmarking the Finnish system, where Finns teach classes in English, rather than hiring foreigners. Still, I'm not sure where they're going to find certified Korean teachers who can do this proficiently.</description>
