Carrying on the subway theme...Why don't people take their backpacks off their backs when travelling on the subway when it's busy?
A withering observation.
I have never actually heard anyone say the stereotypical "please understand our situation" phrase, until today. I had a meeting with the principal and vice principal and another teacher trying to excuse away the crappy terrible MS class behavior. On Tuesday, they had a period test that I had to proctor and they talked and messed around and cheated the whole time. In the meeting, they were saying "Oh, we know they are naughty, but please understand them, they are different than American or European students... They are all in the same class for their school years so they have no friends... They don't understand you..." yada yada yada. Ugh. They are the worst.
Why are you meeting with the principle and v principle about student behavior?

They are the worst.I had something fairly similar happen, but not in a meeting with lots of people. My co-teacher has asked me to make questions, from things in my class, to add to the mid-term / final exams. Only 2 - 3 questions, and they are usually pretty easy. For the final exam, only 4 of my students took notes about my questions in their exams (I didn't give them the answers, just a few things that could be in there + 1 thing that was. only 10 students got the answer right to 1 of the 2 questions I added for the final exam. My co-teacher was then saying to me "are you sure you taught this in your class? only 10 students got this answer correct." Then for a week or so after the exam, was actually asking students if I had taught it, which was AFTER I showed him the lesson I had done that covered it haha.

I rarely ever meet with my principles, seeing as I don't have any. Anywho, on the very rare occasion when I have an unruly class, I definitely bring it up with the relevant authorities (usually the KET for that particular class and their homeroom teacher). If the class was bad enough, or if the previously mentioned folk suck as disciplinarians, I imagine that some people might want to take it one rung up the ladder.
More than half way into December and I'm still getting woken up all night by 모기I keep the door to bathroom closed so I don't even know how it got in there sigh

UghhCarbs on carbs on carbs on blech..The only time I ever skip school lunch is when they try to serve some sort of miserable junk like 'spaghetti' or 'carbonara' or sweet 'garlic bread.' There's absolutely nothing worse than when schools try to serve foreign food. It's so gross.
