school

Posted at 8:05 pm by Becky

School has started. I am tired. I’m thinking of going to bed as soon as I finish this, AKA 8 pm. Sad.

I’m still in the middle of culture shock, I think. The kids are very different, and it’s taking more to whip them into shape than it took in Chicago. I’m a bit incredulous. Seriously, folks, listening to the teacher should not be new information. And kid, don’t you dare ask me why the room isn’t more decorated.

The Spanish part of the day is… a challenge. It’s either mind-numbingly boring or way over their heads, with very few in between. Whee.

It feels like I’m brand new at this and I don’t like that. I’m a good teacher, dang it!

Sorry I’m too tired to be clever. Perhaps I can write a witty review of our trip to see High School Musical another time. We’ll see.
