Today they told me:

"This is school keeper's number. When you come work on vacation, please calling him and he will unlock school for you"

Later:

"There is a sleeping mat in room, you can just come and sleep until 4 and go home"

So why am I coming in again?

yeah, tell him to go screw himself.

teachers at my school when at their desks, every single female teacher's computer is looking at stupid shoes, clothes, etc.

the males may just sleep or watch Korean dramas, or whatever it is they do.

i play computer games. Nobody says a thing.


Yeah, the "problem" with this guy is that he's actually an awesome teacher and he works his butt off. He is always working on new teaching materials. I'm not joking. So I have a lot of respect for him, I just wish that right now I had one of those co-teachers like you all are talking about. I'd be watching the Adventures of Pete and Pete today, not whatever crap he comes up with for me.


OK- he may be an awesome teacher, but to you he is being a D...

He doesn't respect you, and resents your being there. You are due to leave right? No class? Find a quiet part of the school or ignore him. Unless of course, you like to do work you aren't responsible for and don't have to do.

PS- I've got Man Won that says all the work you do never makes it to the "new teacher's" eyes. That's usually the way it is, and the way it will be.

Edit about a month's worth of your old lessons to make them fresh and leave that for the new teacher. It should take you a few hours at most.

Watch tv, play online, and read for the rest of deskwarming.


I wish I could, but my co-teacher will be sitting right next to me. I as I was writing about American football, I was watching Barry Sanders highlights, to add to the little essay. He gave me a dirty look and told me I was wasting time.

The next week and a half cannot pass soon enough.


Keep a ppt open, and make a very small window for your TV viewing pleasure on the side. Press a few buttons every so often. <<shrugs>>

You're leaving. Smile and say okay, then continue as planned.
