Very curious whether anybody has access to the syllabus for this course for this semester...

I'm an Asian American male, now in my late 40's. Over the course of my last couple decades, I've always balked at the notion of having kids. These days, I still regularly have so many more reasons not to have kids, than to have kids.

One of the things that has struck me is that the vast majority of the concept of having and raising kids, is that, to me, it's basically "busy work".

In the USA, we basically refer to "busy work" as anything that you do that is time-consuming and makes you look busy to others, satisfying a social norm, even though it has questionable practical purpose or ethically questionable purpose or pedagogical value.

I look at what people do as parents -- or as grandparents -- as basically "busy work", according to my definition above.

I already have empathy and compassion for other people; I don't need to have kids to teach me those emotional skills or capabilities.

And as we know, the other reasons that parents often give, are very basically selfish ones.

Hi all: I have made an error trying to touch up the paint on my 2016 MB S600, just on the trunk lid. Actually, my whole car could use some touch-ups.

Anybody with some leads for the Seoul/Incheon area? Especially reputable English-friendly shops?
