I'm gonna be worn out:

9-10:30 is 5th grade

10:40-12:10 is 4th grade

12:20-1:00 is 1st grade
1:10-1:50 is 2nd grade

I had to do lesson plans for every class, I wrote 60 lesson plans. The 1st and 2nd Grades are going to be a nightmare. I have 2 first graders in my afterschool and I'd have an easier teaching sign language to a dog. Those kids are adorable and wonderful, but literally made entirely of trouble. Uggghhh.

Weird times. Why do they have you working through lunch? You're basically working from 9 til 2 without a break.

What other stuff do they have you doing? Don't you know how to act sad and say "very difficult", a lot.

I have 8 periods a day with the same 20 kids for two weeks.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Two 6 day camps X 3 periods a day.

Still being debated, but all of the Grade 6 students have to come to school during those two weeks for some unknown reason. The principal is thinking of having me teach conversation classes on my own to all the Grade 6 classes (there are five of them) every day. If they decide against this, I guess I will have a "special vacation."

4 x 30mins x 1 week

3 weeks. 4 X 40mins first week, 2 X 40mins second week, 3 X 40mins, 3rd week. First week split between 3-4 and 5 grades. Second week all 3-4. Third week same as second, but all the poorer kids (its free for them). Hope the people doing the extensive hours are getting extra pay.

One week of camp in December, 4 classes per day, still no word on grades/level/etc.

The rest of the school vacation except my official vacation days are after-school type classes (how these differ from camp I don't know). 4 a day. No idea what we are supposed to do there either. Very last minute this year!

Totally blank baby! Thailand here I come!

4 hour cram session with 25 super low level students. A Korean teacher hijacked lesson planning. Exclusively college prep material. (About 10 levels higher than what the students can do and the KT is expecting them to debate answers in English without teaching them a language format)

I'm expecting the first class to end in 10 minutes

[morrisonhotel]

8 hours a day for two weeks.
