A not so bad Tuesday

Today wasn’t that bad of a day. I really didn’t have much of a plan at work today, but I just coasted along. The classes I taught weren’t horrible and some of which were pretty good. I felt at least that I was able to get to the students and to force some of them to learn. I saw my partner writing down many notes and doing some of the things that I’ve been working on as well. So I think I’ve been making an impact, whether it is good or bad, I’m not to sure. But I guess it’s all in who you ask at my workplace. I’ve gotten most of the English teachers on my side, but I get along with all of them. In fact, I think I’ve gotten about 99% of teachers on my side. I think there’s only one teacher that doesn’t like me very much, but I could understand her. I make fun of her that she doesn’t want to speak to me and imitate her funny little laugh. But then again, I felt as if she brought it on herself.

I was able to leave pretty early today; I left work at 7pm. I ran into some students on the way home and was talking to them on the train. I think it will help to encourage them to speak more when they see me at school. I think I’m going to proliferate my teaching by going through all the clubs and teaching them during their off time. But I’ll start slow and easy getting them one by one. I think that all the students really want to talk, but they just lack the confidence to do so. They are too caught up in thinking about what they want to ask and don’t spend too much time asking.
