| I always found shouting at kids in eikawas a complete waste of time, especially if you have no back up from the school. I once shouted at an eight year old girl in a class of four because she threw a chunky wooden jenga block at my head, full pelt, from about a metre, on purpose. And it hurt. So I layed the law down, but from then on the girl who had been previously nice on the majority of occasions became a complete nightmare and refused to take her book out, do her homework, do ANYTHING in class, and would sit there each week constantly spitting "baka" or "shine" at me for the hour. It became a complete power struggle. I tried the whole give extra praise thing whenever she did do something, but nothing worked. The other three girls didn't know where to look, and when on asking the secretary to speak to the parents I received a shy, "er, no". One of a number of reasons why I eventually quit the school. |
Quitting was the best thing to do. Good on you, muppet. For others...
It amazes me how people want to stay in Japan so badly that they'll go on working in places where this shyte is allowed to happen, especially if it's a private eikaiwa where the managers, head office people, whoever... have it totally within their power to refuse service to the parents of such maladjusted little turds yet never do because they want the parents' yen.
If you subject yourself to this kind of situation just for the sake of remaining in a country that you enjoy living in, yet it causes you personal suffering and gives you feelings of helplessness and inadequacy, you really need some kind of counseling to help build up your self esteem so that you can give employers like that the finger and go find a better job. It really isn't that hard
Get an f'ing backbone or you'll eventually end up on your deathbed full of regret. |
