much better

the rest of school today was much better after the fantasy class. some days, they are fantastic, but others they are little brats.

after teaching in bangkok, i thought that i loved teaching the babies, but i actually prefer my older students now. i can have real conversations with them. i never have to resort to my little bit of korean vocabulary--"sit down," "stand up," "shut up". these are three phrases that any english as a second language teacher needs to learn). i love that my principal walked in my office one day when i was practicing with a korean co-teacher. we were chanting in korean. sit down! stand up! shut up!

i'm usually nice in class, but sometimes, especially on mondays, i have to break. at least i know the basics. accidentally, i do give them commands in thai from time to time. i hope that's not a problem.

i guess there's one great thing about teaching, or any job really: tomorrow is a new day.
