 |
|
i just came from a class where one girl kept looking in the mirror and patting the bit under her eyes, probably applying some anti-ageing cream. i stared at her, she put it away. i looked away. i look back. the mirror is back. i stare at her, she puts it away. the third time, i just take the damn thing away.
then i look back.... she has pulled out a second, smaller mirror and is still patting the bit under her eyes!
then she passes it to the next girl, who does the same thing.
holy crap! is it *that* important? |

Seems to work though.
At summer camp, if I hadn't been introduced to my uni training co-teacher at summer camp, I would have told her to stop walking round my lessons and sit down. I couldn't tell the difference between her and my students, she was smaller than them and blended in well.
The science teacher sat next to me could easily pass for a 10 year old, I always find it harrowing watching her drive.
In my town, I heard that the school girls all have the same Korean haircut so the local men can tell the difference between them and the adult females. Whether that is true or not....... |

| Fair enough, but if you think Korean high school girls are vain, try teaching in Japan! |

I didnt say K girls. ALL girls are vain. Thats the nature of being a girl. Most grow up when they give birth, but before that its tragic. |

Ha-ha! You've just described some of my middle school students, too.
I didn't know how vain the women were here until I went to a coffee shop one day. I saw this woman taking multiple pictures of herself with her cellphone. Then her boyfriend was taking pictures of her, too. It went back and forth for several minutes. The annoying thing, too, is that every time they took a picture, one of their cell phones would say, "Chees-uh." |

| I just confiscated a baby rattle from two 18-year-old, grade three high school girls. I'd say that's hitting the zenith of infantilism. |

I don't know - it looks like something one of them had made herself as a kind of art / craft project. It's actually a very good class, but when two of them want to start playing with a rattle when I set them off doing pairs work I have to question what being at school all the bloody time does for their mental health. |
