FLAGS. A former newspaper worker who is now a licensed elementary school teacher asked her students (second graders) to draw two flags, the Phl flag and any other flag of any country, in connection with the Flag Day observance. "The result," she said, "was suited for The Ear column." So, here it is.
JAPANESE. Some 50 percent of her students drew the Japanese flag (the easiest to draw). Some who drew the Phl flag colored it violet in the blue part and orange in the red part.
