My co-teacher has just given her 'farewell speech' to me. After Spring Camp, when the next semester begins, I will definitely have a new co-teacher (assuming I stay at this school). She is the co-teacher from the year before I arrived.

My co-teacher thanked me for teaching alone when she was off sick, she also explained her English wasn't good enough to explain how hard it was for her to find time to speak with the Principal, when I needed her to.

She said she understood that must have made me feel like I was not being listened to.

I can't work this woman out, she is patronizing, but to be very wary of her I think is fair comment.

The new co-teacher speaks better English. I've met her briefly before, she seems to be much better than my current handler.

So she is playing the good old 'misunderstanding' game! Probably buttering you up so you offer monies to her leaving present.

As she said her farewell, I smiled, I can't believe how stupid she thinks I am, but I know she doesn't realize how stupid she truly is, I suspect she knows she is pathetic, but has some fake dignity left to hold onto.

I feel she tried her best to make me feel like leaving and when she realized I was not going anywhere, tried to end it just now by acting like she is magnanimous. But how can she act magnanimous when I've done nothing wrong?!! (cue the Psycho music)

I'm truly relieved she is going. I never even talk to her, unless she speaks to me first, so there's no chance I'd ever be buttered up by her, or even part with any of my won to buy her a gift.

The greatest gift is her departure from the English room! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! Wink

Yes, don't lose no sleep over her; she sounds pathetic. Concentrate on your newly acquired married status!!

Thanks. That's why I may well stay at this school, it's convenient for me and my wife as regards my apartment, school within walking distance, etc.

Was she pretty at least? Isn't that a co-teacher qualification?

she looks ok, but her nasty personality kills off any attractive physical features she has.

She must have skipped the co-teacher orientation.
