Most of the kids have gone on a trip with school. I am meant to have 2 very small sized classes this morning.

I believe these classes may not go ahead.

But this afternoon is my first parents class. I am well prepared, but to be quite frank, I hope they stop attending. They did last year.

Oh well, first impressions are important. They may be impressed with the first class, and they'll then realize quickly, what a waste of time it is.

I mean if the teacher doesn't want to attend why should the students?!!!

Lazy? I used to work 20 regular hrs a week last year, now it's gone up to 22 hrs. I also have 2 special classes and a total schedule of 2 parents classes a week. That's 24 hrs.

I remember before I came to Korea they said you can have lots of free time and enjoy life, and I want that to remain!

My Principal just entered the class and looked more friendly than normal.

It's official. You are an immature retard. (Just so you know, that was pretty cyber-violent for me)

Go back to the real world, and work 40 or 50 hours a week with 10 days off each year for a few years, or better yet, 80-110 a week that some of us worked, and then come back and appreciate the hell out of your 22 hours a week.

JESUS CHRIST! They added a grand total of 3 hours to your schedule and you're bitching about the increased work load? Unbelievable Rolling Eyes

What I can't believe is his school fought for him to stay! If anything, I imagined they'd be pushing him out the door...


Anyway, I vote for fromtheuk as being the most elaborate troll ever. I mean some ppl just have their fun with a few threads here and there and call it quits. Fromtheuk...wow.

If you have 22 regular hours and "also" 2 special classes and 2 parent classes a week... isn't that 26 hours? (I'm talking about "teaching hours" here)

Mine. It's kind of like reading my own inner monologue, except I have the sense to realize that working 25 hours is a really slack schedule and I shouldn't complain.

I want to complain though.

Thanks, fromtheuk, for complaining so I don't have to.

Hahahahah....I was thinking the same thing about ym adult class. It's freaking pointless. So far, seven students have quit mine. I'm getting worrie, though, because the more I do it, the better the class seems to get. My students actually appear to be having a good time lately. Shocked
