Today began the testing week at my school, which is totally awesome since it means all sorts of extra paperwork for me. In addition to creating, administering and grading tests, I have report cards to fill out this week as well. This is not a problem, but for some reason I have to fill out a teacher’s comments area inspite of the fact that this Saturday I have to come in and do parent teacher confrences…in which I will be telling the parents the exact thing I’ll be writing. Additionally my comments are written in English, and the bulk of the parents can’t understand English at all, and those who do often misconstrew what I write, and end up getting angry.
On the plus side of all of this (and there is a plus side), classes are extremely easy this week. The kids have testing for two days, and then the last two days this week are game days and “funny money” shop day which makes preparing for class a lot easier. Additionally I mentioned having to work on Saturday, but next week I’m going to have a four day weekend.
Now if you’ll pardon me, I have some teacher comments to fill out that will be misunderstood.
