Caveat: 웹 사이트 했어요

I made a new website. I’ve decided to redirect my “jareday.com” domain to this new website, because I am building the site as place where my students can stay in touch with me, and the jaredway.com is a nice, memorable address to be able to give them.  My personal, more general website will continue to exist at https://www.raggedsign.net/way, for those who are interested.  And of course this blog is redirected from caveatdumptruck.com
So this is going to be for my students.  I’m not sure how ambitious I will be. It would be cool if it was a place where they could build their own content, eventually – I’m evaluating the possibility of a .NET-based wiki-clone that might provide something intuitive for them to interact with.  But for now, it’s just a kind of place-holder where I might be able to post some photos and notes to them.
The reason I’m doing this, of course, is that this is my last week with all of my students.  Because when I move over to work for 엘브릿지어학원 (LBridge Language Academy) for the last 5 weeks of my current contract, I will have a completely different group of students – none of my current students placed into the upper level that I am slated to be teaching, there.  Which, actually, is something that leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, as I’ve commented on before.
I actually had a student in tears over her disappointmnet about where she’d been placed at 엘브릿지. And I’m not the sort who would suggest that a student who didn’t show the appropriate skill level should be moved ahead just for her self-esteem, but this student is one of the brightest, most hard-working and motivated students I’ve had at the elementary level, and if anyone at LinguaForum deserved to be placed at the top level at 엘브릿지, it was her.
[Update 2013-06-16: the jaredway.com domain has undergone repeated redirections since this original post, but the current address is a “gated” blog with detailed postings on class adminstrative stuff and student work.]
