What is your overall feeling about the quality of feedback offered by Korean co-teacher
Too little, too late, too vague. Unhelpful and sometimes intentionally deceptive. |

I go out of my way to integrate real-life situations into the curriculum. For instance, this week we're teaching daily schedules (I get up at 7 every day, etc...)
I submitted my powerpoint lesson and game weeks ago. She admitted to me that she only looked at the first 2 slides and assumed it was good. (It was fantastic. I showed a different teacher because she was curious, and she loved it and wants me to help her with making some games.) The presentations taught the basic daily tasks in the national curriculum (I wash my face at ___, I eat lunch at ___, I do my homework at___, I go to bed at__, etc...) and I added things like:
I ride a bike at ___
I do taekwondo at ___
I play the piano at ___
etc...
NO! It's not in the curriculum! 
Ugh. Because teaching them to memorize 8 or 9 sentences teaches the concept of using this phrasing in daily life. Riiight. After explaining again and again, we tried the game on our next class. The kids loved it and were able to understand the concept within a matter of minutes.
Smile. Nod. Ignore. Proceed.
To whoever was the first to post this method, I salute you. |

One of the coolest, kindest, and most rational posters ever in Dave's history (PIGSFACEWITHRICE) told me to kinda pretend that you are all Zen and stuff and think of the sun on a beautiful beach somewhere, the pay cheques, and whatever else can help one keep their sanity.

Getting married this summer. Getting married this summer. Getting married this summer. Not planning a wedding and having an awesome honeymoon instead. This thought is my happy place  |

Make him grow a handlebar mustache and wear and old British army uniform and he'll look like something out of the Zulu wars. |

Hehe now we don't want to get him killed.
I do like when he grows an old-school beard, though |

2 never give me any. 1 tells me when he likes it. Generally speaking, when I talk to any of them, 50-90% of everything we say is misunderstood by the other person.
90% vague, 10% useful (which amounts to, I liked that lesson, subtext, Can we do more like that?).
What is it? Smile, nod, ignore, proceed?
Grats NYC Gal. My hubby and I kept it low key, and planned an awesome honeymoon and we were so happy with what we did! It was also a great way to focus on the good to come. |

A useful way to respond to poor advice that allows the other party to save face. |

Yeah, I've been learning to smile like I work at DisneyLand (95% of the time, at least).
It helps when I wear a cute dress. For some reason, when students call me "Fashion Show Teacher" I'm in a great mood and little gets on my nerves. I'm just glad it's warm enough now! The days of black yoga pants and long sweaters have finally ended! |
