I eat at 2. We have a kitchen. Sometimes I eat at home before work, sometimes I cook something at 2 pm at work, and sometimes I grab something at the store in the same building on the first floor (they make dokpokki, donkas on a stick, etc.). I teach on the second floor. Kitchen is on the third floor. I can eat little snacks in between classes, too. There's also always rice ready to eat in the kitchen along with kimchi, etc. in the fridge.

So my new schedule for the new year was finalized yesterday. (For purposes of clarity, "class" refers to a 40 minute period)

Monday--8 classes
Tuesday--1 class (in the morning)
Wednesday--9 classes (only break is for lunch)
Thursday--1 class (in the afternoon)
Friday--2 classes (back to back)
:


(1) Thought you worked at an elementary school? there are only 6 classes a day at my school, unless you count special classes.

(2) the double classes must be hell on the kids too. they don't get time to process one lesson before moving on to the next.



(numbers are mine)

1. Oh I do, but the majority of these classes are double period classes (2 periods with the same class is counted as 2 classes by my school). Plus I have the grades 3-6 TWICE a week. Then there are a few special classes like the teachers class, and the 4-6 grade class.

2. In the double period I spend one period teaching the lesson and the next one reviewing it. Then the next time I have them I spend 10-20 minutes reviewing the material again (as a warm-up). Kids learn fast...but they also forget just as fast (and even faster when the information is in a different language) so plenty of review is essential.

I'm telling you, it's a real killer! I barely have time to eat! Laughing

Seriously though I was complaining about the days when I only have one class. Tuesday is the worst. The class goes from 9:40-10:20 and then I have the rest of the day to fill up with work somehow.

Ah well, it's an exercise in patience.

Ha-Ha. It couldn't have happened to a better person, Urban Myth. My schedule is pretty sweet...not a day where I am doing more than 4 classes..and I don't even work one of your precious public schools.

Ah, I see someone's temp ban must have expired..

"not a day where I am doing MORE than four classes.." Your reading comprehension needs work. I am complaining about NOT having ENOUGH classes. I'd like more. Currently I have 21 classes a week, I'd like about 25.

urbanmyth...if that was at a hagwon it would be alright cuz you could just get out right after the one class. I think it would suck so much to have that much free time at a public school.

Here's mine: Mon: 4
Tues:5
Wed: 5
Thur:4
Fri: 4
Oh yeah and one afterschool class on Wednesday that I get paid overtime for.

But you also make much less money and your reference sucks in comparison.
