In one of my classes today we were talking about where the students wanted to visit and why. Most answers were pretty good, things like "I want to visit the United States, because I want to see the Statue of Liberty," or "I want to visit China, because I want to see the Great Wall," etc.
But when I asked one boy what place he wanted to visit and why, he said, "I want to visit North Korea, because it is very hard to visit North Korea."
"Oh," I said, "but which is harder, going there or coming back?"
Everyone agreed that coming back was much harder than getting in, and I asked him, "If you visit North Korea, will you come back?" and he said, "No..."
So kudos to this kid for wanting to do something just because it's hard to do, but maybe his planning skills could use improvement.
