 |
|
I was cleaning out my desk drawer and couldn't believe some of the things I found. The most interesting was a folder with some lessons from my very first month teaching public school. I couldn't believe how over-the-heads of the students it must have been. I had a lesson on MLK that looked more like I was teaching intro. to US history to 1st year uni students than EFL to Korean HS students. I also found a hilarious letter from the head of English to me about what I should teach. It looks like he was just as clueless as I was.
I also found some original copies of government tests that were supposed to be returned. They quickly went in the shredder.
Found anything interesting in your desk recently? |

Based on my first week teaching at Uni, I don't think there is necessarily a big difference - on the whole - between the level of English at middle school and the level of English of some uni students. And I'll be teaching content. I love teaching in Korea. |

So what'd you find in your desk? Ego? Love of teaching? This ain't an abstract question.
My turn. The Bhagavad Gita, 5 unused green-tea packets, and a half-finished pack of cherry-flavored Halls candy. As for the Ghita, finished! |

Lack of ginseng, my friend? |

Weren't you talking about some Newcastle vs. Goatf*ckville or something. Oh, and I think you mean the Kama Sutra when you made the ginseng reference. The Gita is a kick-ass war poem.
But yeah, how'd the soccer match turn out when I claimed you were a gamer or some sh*t? |

I only got about half of what you just wrote - you've been drinking, right? Soccer game still in progress, but I'll be at the next Daegu game against Pohang Steelers. |

Nah, just bored. Putting off doing these damn report cards. 5 more minutes, I swear, then I'm outta here. |

That busted my ass right open - too funny.
I found the handbook I apparently got last September. Looks like a useful handbook. I wonder how many times my wrangler asked himself "Why doesn't he just look it up in the handbook?" |
