BACK TO ELEM SCHOOL

Another day of elementary school because since i have tests at junior high school, they love to ship me out to elementary school. Yes, they love to work me to death. Hope i survive.

Anyways overall it was a good time except for those damn quiet teachers! How do you become a teacher when you dont even know how to control a class? Nothing against girls, but this teacher is so quiet and shy the kids dont even respect her. Its 2nd grade and the kids are running around like monkeys, talking when the teacher is talking, hiding under desks, running around, its crazy. All the other teachers classes are great, kids obey and listen, but this one is like a zoo! If i had a belt i would whip these kids into shape. Geeezz ... no wonder kids go bad, its because they have sucky teachers. Then the good kids cant even focus cuz their buddies are running like animals. Fortunately that was only 1 of the 5 teachers, the other 4 were terrific, runned class like a TV special.

Today was also the first time i met the 1st grade kids at this school. They were like in lalala land, and when i started speaking in english of course they were like "wakarahen" which means i dont understand. Bunch of whiners, ha ha ha, of course you dont understand yet, its english i am here to teach you kids. Think kids, its like japanese you gotta learn it. Anyways, had to jump to IDEA mode. So i looked around the room and started grabbing random things with english words, "Pooh" i read, then "shinkansen", then "pocket bear", and threw in some gestures such as putting the pocket bear in my pocket. The kids were starting to understand the importance of english. Next, i asked them to take out their pencil case, so i can read em. So they all came up in a mob, they had the usual popular cases such as "Pocket Monsters", "Puma", "Hamsutu" etc. Then we finished off the lesson with guess my age on the board, ranging from 2 years old to 1,000 years old, then a lesson of rock, paper, scissors in english. Nice kids, just gotta train em for english.
