Mr.Pink, the stupidity is widespread, and you have to deal with it as it comes.

I'm supposed to have 4 classes a day until 1250 pm enguhlisheee campuh this week-3 classes my doing, last class students in pairs reading to the class.

Of course, coteacher is only there Thursday, and not only have I not had access to the books the students are supposed to read from, the book cabinetUH is locked, and I don't have a key. That, and the VP wants me at the deskuh beside his Monday-Friday for 3.5 hours during the camp.

It's the latter part that turned it at this school. My higher ups know that I am fully capable of controlling a classroom, and having consistently good lessons-well, except the day after a Toronto-Ottawa game. However, as the combination of incompetence + bad faith has been brought to light by these face saving DUMBASSES, I won't be conducting a single class without the coteacher present; these children in the VP chairs need to learn how stupid and counter productive they really are. Instead of going to a new school, start being a hardass, people!


Happy New Year to Mr Pink, productive and worthwhile people, and Mr Dokdo.

Where as this year my middle school is connected to the vo-tech high school, last year my school had a new-sih female teacher who was quite the abusive over achiever. The students in rural areas(I'm Gangwon) know that they are not even shooting for a good highschool half the time. If they aren't interested in movies or games, you're really stuck.
-It can be a bit depressing, but if you say to yourself "these kids are poor, and unhappy, and I should just make the class fun" you may have better results. In other words don't really 'teach' anything. Just do arts and crafts, games, cooking classes, whatever you can. If there is no co-teacher the better students will have to speak to you in English.
-I don't even use my co-teacher anymore most of the time. She realizes that the EPIK program really isn't about 'teaching' english. It is about 'demystifying' english.
