First lesson plan/Stuffs
It turns out my first class starts next week.
Okay...
I didn't know that. But I think I can manage anyway. I'll be teaching the adult level, something of which I have expierience in. Since I didn't know of those beforehand, my boss is giving me 20 dollars an hour instead of 15. I think she's crazy, because she seemed very apologetic and like it wasn't very much. I am so greatful for this job.
The hardest thing now is understanding culture of students here. They have normal classes during the day, and come to our cram school in the afternoon. Except the adults, obviously.
This is very very common. The only kids who don't go to cram school are those who can't afford to. Most already go to one, or will be soon. I'm going to be the only teacher at ours, which is mind boggling.
Children know more English than Adults do, as it is becoming more of a fad out here lately. In such, they are often easier to talk to. The adult classes will move slower because adults take longer to learn things than children.
Strange, but true.
So my kids will be doing a lot more than adults in a class.
Last night Yiyi gave me a package of.. some kinda cookie with a cow on the package. See, reasons like this are why I'm not a vegetarian anymore. I don't know what the heck I'm eating.
It tastes okay, but odd. Maybe it's milk? I dunno.
Thats been my general approach to food here. I ate a fish off the bone with chopsticks. Why? Because everyone else was, and I didn't wanna be rude. Granted, my skills with chopsticks probably made me look it anyway. ^^;
I found a picture of my County if anyone is interested. I don't have a cord to my camera yet, but here's the best I can do:
