So I started teaching middle school yesterday... Let's just say Thursdays and Fridays are going to be the longest days of the week. Oh, and there's a reason I didn't want to teach middle school. Actually there's about 200. And I can't pronounce the names of any of them. :/
I think these children make it their goal everyday to drive me crazy.
Okay, so it's not really that horrible. But it's certainly not my favorite days of the week. I am however very glad that it is Friday and that means 4 day weekend. :] YAY Chuseok.
Not much has happened since my last blog. Just sort of settling into the swing of things. I have had all my high school classes, The ones on Wednesday are the best. It's the rest of my 10th graders. They're so great. They're quiet but responsive. :] Unlike my middle schoolers who are loud and unresponsive. Had 3rd grade yesterday (9th). I wanted to die. Thank goodness those are my only two students classes for the day. Wonder if they did that on purpose... Anyway, they were rough. They just don't want to learn. And then yesterday I had two teacher classes after my two student classes, but that was just for this week. Apparently the middle school teacher doesn't want me wasting time teaching the teachers so I'm going to have 2 extra student classes instead. Except I'm not sure when the second one will be because there's no room in the schedule. Anyway, I guess I'll find out next week. But those classes are conversation and the students had to apply. So it will only be students that want to be there and they'll be the highest level and its all conversation. So those should be easy classes.
Not sure what exactly I'm supposed to be teaching in my regular classes, I assume it's the same as high school where I'm not to follow the textbook but Mrs. Seong is the one helping me over here and her English just isn't that great. And Mr. Pa's English is very good, but he is the most unhelpful, unresponsive person. I really dislike teaching classes with him which sucks because I teach the most classes with him. :/ It's just hard because he won't let the students figure out what I'm saying, or let me explain until they get it. Instead, they know he's going to translate so they just wait and don't ask questions or anything. It's frustrating.
Oh man I'm so tired. Nap, class at 2:25, more update tonight.
