Great. I never thought that teaching will be this hard. SO HARD. For all the student I will teach, they have to be Korean. Kids. With ZERO-ENGLISH comprehensibility. And during our first week, trust me, it turned into a HUGE disaster. Then comes the other week, and viola, would you believe that that student who just keeps on hitting me repeatedly on my different body parts is now calling me a sosengneem (teacher in Korean)?
Heehee, I know, it just took me almost one week just to make friends with them. At first I was feeling nervous when I saw these Korean students wondering what kind of physical and mental punishment they will give me. And meeting with the other co-teachers, heck they are all nice. They give me and the other trainees some tips and pointers about being a teacher, and the rules, and of course, creepy stories about some students, that they fondly given nickname "double-edged sword" kids. Kids who are nice to you yet say something bad things to their parents about you when they get home. You know, they will tell their parents that their teachers didn't teach them anything and of course the parents will tell our boss about this, and you know what will be the consequence, the boss will call you in his office, and will reprimand you for not doing your work. That's why they told us to keep in hand "evidences" that will prove that we teachers taught something to our kids. Sigh. I'm so hopeful that my current hakseongs will not do that to me, but as far as I can see, they are not like that. I mean come on, they're just five and six year olds, they may know how to lie, but not to create crappy stories about their teachers, right? My boss already knows my limitations, what else should I hide? Besides their mother is also studying in our language school, the possibility for the kids to lie will be small, because she can also see the teachers who teaches her kids.
So many things to say in one blog eh? Guess I'll post another one of my teaching adventures tomorrow. Ciao! :)
