It was my plan round about now to share with you all photos of amazing Christmas displays going on in Korea. Thing is though, I've seen almost nothing Christmassy going on.
There's a window poster at Paris Baguette saying that they have holiday drinks for sale. We have a few decorations up at my academy. And... that's about it.
Maybe more stuff goes on in Seoul or even Suwon, but here in Seosan - Christmas largely goes unseen.

Thank you for the tip Carolla. I've tried a few of those apps but I feel I'd do better with a human tutor.

Regarding the behaviour coupon idea
Personally as a parent I don’t think they work. Parents are always trying with kids. But the ones who are more inclined to be good, do well. The ones who are struggling with poor behaviour very quickly fall behind and lose interest
It would be helpful to know ages of students. And how the school operates. Is it part of their day school? Is it extracurricular? Is it paid by parents? Free? Mandatory?
I think all those play into how to correct behaviour. Plus what is they are doing? Not studying? Talking during lessons? Cheating? Skipping class? Eating at desks?...........
Then I would look at what is thebehaviour you want to correct. Are they perhaps talking in class because they don’t understand you and the lesson? It is because the lesson has gone on too long and they need a ten minute break? Bathroom, snack, stretch legs..........
I have been learning another language and I definitely can see a level of fatigue set in after an hour or so, just too much going on in my brain so I shut down
So perhaps Jae if you want some input, give us some details

It seemed to work this past week, at least in my classes. The students in general were better behaved - because they wanted to get the coupons. One thing that did surprise me was the differing amounts we teachers were giving out. We must work on getting that more uniform.

It's a private learning academy. It isn't free. It doesn't replace school. It's a supplement for those who want and can pay for it.

The behaviour we're working to correct includes talking over teachers, speaking in Korean, being late for class, shouting, using cellphones, and eating.

Our classes are 45 minutes long followed by a 5 minute break.
Three quarters gone as in the calculation of thirds in Neptune's laws ... the forthcoming later ... like the nine portions of Moses ... against the three Furies ... sometimes known as the fiery winds of Moira ... the great underwriting power as Zou s ... sometime Sous-la or wee Sue's E!
The varied myths add up ... if you can gather ... allowing for 66 books in a community of 100 in Hebrew collectives ... thus centimes !

I attended a school where basically everything was rewarded or punished. Every kid was in a House - there were four. Housepoints were awarded by the teachers for exceptionally good work, for considerate actions (like holding a door open voluntarily), for improved behaviour etc. Housepoints were removed for the opposite behaviours. A simple record was kept by a couple of students in each class. A monthly tally was posted where everyone could check it.
All the school sports activities were also included with tournaments held for swimming, a softball type game, a basketball type game and the track and field day. What I particularly liked about these was every student was expected to participate for a Housepoint. Not participating brought a penalty of five Housepoints. Housepoints were issued for the top three places in each event. There were suitable events for those who weren't skilled - such as blowing a ping pong ball across the shallow end of the pool. slow bike race, three legged race - and they earned points just like the more athletic activities. The House that gave out the most enthusiastic cheering on was also given Housepoints.
Towards the end of the school year all the Housepoints were added up and a big silver cup was awarded to the winning House during the annual Awards Day.
I think it worked fairly well.

Clearly, it's what the Houses of Hogwarts are modelled on, lol.

I don't know about the schools nowadays, but this system was common in my youth.

Just keep going....
That sounds like Hogwarts to me.

At my school the four houses were named for the founder of the local Abbey and three of the early Abbesses. History matters eh - especially when it goes back to 666 or so.
My students range in age from 3-60. The typical class size is 5-6 students. That said, I do some one-on-one classes, and my largest class is 10 elementary school kids.
