You know what I'm talking about! Let those Korean gym teachers earn their pay for a day or two. Know what I mean? Anyone?

When I taught at hagwons the kids were usually too hungry to learn. Have things changed?

Nope you're right. If they aren't too tired then they are too hungry, too thirsty, in need of the bathroom or feeling sick. Sports days just mean that more complain about tiredness than usual.

Usually they're too excited or talkative to do anything.... so at least it's a change of pace! Laughing

Laughing Yup our new sports teacher was teaching 6th grade last year. Still I never begrudge someone a cruzy job and as i've never played volleyball until this year he has given me some good pointers.

I must admit hes a far more relaxed person this year and he's the best at my school in volleyball.. maybe thats why he got the job, I'm thinking Very Happy

I agree with you, I've never actually seen him being a gym teacher as such. Maybe we should get good a volleyball, the job might be ours Cool
