A Place to Which One May Not Welcome · 11 July 07
The students were writing letters. Welcome letters, to their new English teacher who will arrive next month.
On the board I wrote:
‘Welcome to Japan .
‘But you could use any word you want instead of Japan,’ I said. ‘Any place. For example, Welcome to Kumamoto, or Kyushu,’ I said, naming their city and the name of our island.
A boy in the back called out, ‘Welcome to K——— High School’.
‘Yes! Great!’ I said. ‘That would be a good start to your letter.’
A tall boy in back raises his hand. He had a sample sentence to try. He had a loud, clear, voice.
‘Welcome to … my body?’ he asked.
Oh, wait. Sorry. No. Perhaps one should not write any words he wants.
I stood corrected.
