Holding hands...

In korea, it's really common to see people of the same sex holding hands! This doesn't automatically make them bi-sexual, rather it's simply an innocent sign of their close friendship! Today, while I was sitting at my desk, 2 of my 5th grade students (boys) were talking to me while they fondled each others fingers in plain sight... And I'm sure you're all wondering if Stella has tried to hold my hand. The answer is yes! It's always while we're walking... She'll start by holding my arm, but her hand usually slips down to my hand the more we start talking or laughing. It was weird at first, but now I just go with it! It's her culture and I'm honored that she considers me a close friend!

All that to say, I was walking down the hallway in my school today and spotted this picture of my friend Lee's 6th grade class on the wall! Check out the 1st and 2nd row of boys!
