Last week, as I left the school, it was raining. I didn't have my umbrella, so I just put up my hood. At the exit from the school yard, the mother of one of my students stopped and offered to walk with me to the post office (where I was headed) so that I could stay under her umbrella with her. It was a bit out of her way, so this was very kind of her. She was nervous about her English, but we managed to have a good conversation. I was really touched by her actions.
Last week, eight months into my time here, was the first time a student's parent bothered to speak to me. That includes responding to my hellos (or 안녕하세요s!).
