Atticus Finch weighs in on English education.

The Korea Times ran another article about English teaching, keeping up the four-per-week average. The latest one comes from Atticus Finch. Today Mr. Finch is an English teacher in Seoul, though he is best known for his appearance in Harper Lee's novel To Kill A Mockingbird.

They could really use an editor over there.

It's not as good/bad as the cartoon I saw on EBS a few weeks ago with the fictional character "Mike Vick." Last year a bunch of the dialogues they planned to use for the English Town had "Lonnie Smith," a former Pittsburgh Pirates baseball player and cokehead.

Anyway, the article sucks and doesn't really give any facts or new ideas. It just throws "held accountable" around a lot. I suspect it, in turn, will spawn about 12 more replies in that paper.
