Would your methods work on High schoolers? As you know, I sub at Zion High. Do you think this system of rewards and consequences you've developed would work there? I could praise kids who sit nicely and give them points and take away from those who behave badly. And I would love to play loudly w/ them sometimes. Thanks. I learned something.
This is good stuff. But I suggest you remove all references to real schools and kids. You are teaching them English, after all! What if their parents saw this?
I know where you're coming from. Adidas,
I taught English to Taiwanese kindergarteners for two months after college. I certainly had a mix of angels and devils: the girls, in general, were pretty sweet, but the boys could be bastards. I remember a boy who slammed a door on a girl's hand. I was so enraged that I made him hold out his hand and I slapped it, hard (The asian culture seems to be a lot more tolerant of corporal punishment than ours.).
I still feel kind of bad about it.
HILarious I just had to tell you, that in the course of doing my "research" before leaving for Korea in February, no blog has entertained me as much as this one! I literally laughed out loud, and read it to my boyfriend. Just thought I would let you know that your blog is much appreciated by some random people back in the US. Thanks for the laugh!
oh my god, I can't believe that little bitch called you fat!! although the way she said it was kinda funny, I have to admit I laughed when I read it. well it's snowing right now in mke and it's supposed to snow again on thurs...ugh...so be glad you're not around for that! went to yield last weekend and it reminded me of you :) miss you!
Another True Story Dear Niece MARGIE????
Your story about your friend that uses the "C" word too much reminds me of a time when I was a young schoolboy.
We had a substitute teacher whose name was Miss Prussy. When she introduced herself she asked us to not make fun of her name. And she spelled it for us. P-R-U-S-S-Y. She told us an easy way to remember her name is to remember that there in an "R" in it.
The next day our regular teacher was still ill so she was the substitute again. She asked if anyone remembered her name from yesterday. No one raised their hand so she called on my friend Bubba Ganoosh.
She asked Bubba if he remembered her name. Bubba hesitated...uhhh...uhhh... The substitute teacher reminded him that yesterday she said an easy way to remember her name is that there is an "R" in it.
Bubba thought for a minute...uhh...uhh...and suddenly remembered. Oh yeah, he said...your name's Miss Crunt!
Love,
Uncle Gary
Why Republicans think the way they do about foreign policy . . . "And since they've already figured out that American teachers don't hurt children, they are simply not concerned with anything I have to say or do."
Not snake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel
You live four floors above the restaurant that serves barbecued freshwater eels. Unlike the Chinese, the Koreans don't eat snakes, you know.
p.s. Try eels sometime. They are very tasty and nutritious as hell.
I'm so glad your friend Aaron is there! I love this guy!
I'd love to see men in tuxedos at a ball game. What fun! You should wear a fancy dress, then teach them how to tailgate.
I hope you can sleep well, eat well, exercise and relax this weekend.
We love, love, love you, dolly!
