No classes at all this week for 8 hours a day. How do the rest of you public school teachers waste time on the internet? Unfortunately, the school internet censor has blocked most game sites (yahoo, msn, etc.). So that is not an option, unless you know one off the beaten track. What do you do with your day? |

You don't see the irony in asking this on Dave's?  |

I recommend checking out some videos on youtube.com There's tons of good stuff. I just watched a bunch of documentaries on North Korea. |

Then use your favorite peer to peer program and download a bunch more for "use in class at a later time". You will of course have to preview them first to make sure they are suitable. |

I came into this thread expecting a whole lot of know-it-alls telling you to devote your time to studying teaching theories, planning lessons and just generally 'becoming a better teacher'.
I think I would go mad if I were you, but that's absolutely no help, I know! |

I have a portable Tetris I play. Or you could find a quiet corner and sleep. |

You should hit on a cute co-worker (assuming you have one and you're single).

I don't want to be nasty, but why would you even go near the school? |

Because I am getting paid pretty damn well to be here. I would rather be at this public school than any hogwan working my ass off for less. |
