My job is ridiculous. More to the point, my school is a disorganized, chaotic clusterfuck that's hemorrhaging students.
And it's kind of cracking me up. It's my job right meow to think of as many exciting and fun activities as I can for the next three weeks, without paying teaching methodology any mind whatsoever. Learning English is not really the goal here....tricking kids into thinking this hagwon is fun is the goal.
They pay me for this.
The director has also made if very clear that my "freetalking" classes are supposed to rejuvenate the elementary student population. I'mado my best to make the classes fun, but I'm certainly not taking this monkey show's bottom line on as my responsibility. (Also, it's important to note that getting another foreign teacher is a colossal pain in the ass for a hagwon)
That's that for now. Time to scribble a million activities in this notebook and pretend I don't hear my name or "freetalking" about a bajillion times today.
p.s. CALLING ALL READERS: Please send along any kids' craft projects that you know of! Think I already thought of that? WRONG. I am daft and I did not think of that. Comment on this post or e-mail me!
