Today was testing day for my students, and boy was it annoying. The students (save for the kids who listened to me) did incredibly poorly, which is not really a surprise. During this testing period I realized that there was one thing I miss about working for Korean nationals, and that is the absence of “touchy-feely” discipline.
I have a couple of classes of morons who don’t listen to me at all, but there’s nothing I can do. I ask them to listen to them nicely, which they don’t…I have the owners “tell” them to listen, which they don’t, and after that…well I’ve got nothing. It’s a far cry from my “training” at Kid’s College where I was told by the regional director to march rowdy children up and down flights of stairs until they cry and listen to me.
If I was their normal teacher I’d be yelling at them and hitting them, but since I’m white I can’t do such things, and because I’m white, the students are less likely to listen to me, and therefore more deserving of a hollering…
