Ok, so wow, my first class was devastating to my sense of purpose. Summer camp spoiled me. Not only could i keep control of the kids alone, but they could understand my lessons alone. The better classes could correct me if i made a mistake.
Then back to Danggok middle school where the order of the day is blank stares and silence. These kids don't know jack. and you get about 5 minutes of respect before they scatter like chaff in the wind.
damn, my sense of purpose in being in korea has taken a huge blow. What's the point in teaching at this school? Is there any value to me being here or am I just doing another 9-5 job? Would I be happier at another school? At a private institute? I don't know. I'm teaching first years this term and that should have it's share of surprises, hopefully I can maintain their interest. I know i kinda flubbed last semester just because of poor planning and lack of experience.
well, let's see how this one shapes up
