Can you buy those little 3 organic banana packs where you are? I started buying them, but found they were still getting moldy 1 - 2 days after buying them (so was always throwing the 3rd one, and sometimes 2 of the 3, away) - no matter where I kept them as well.
This culture drives me up the wall.I see this 6th grade class twice a week, Wednesdays and Fridays. Last Wednesday, just after class began, a boy stood up and threw a ball of paper wrapped in tape, with all his strength, straight into the head of the girl sitting in front of him. My CT, as usual, is in a daze and I'm the only one who spots it. I stop the class and tell him to give the other one he has in his hand. He refuses, and starts getting hysterical, refusing to admit that he did anything wrong. I tell him to leave the class, he refuses and breaks into tears, bawling like a 3-year old.My CT starts talking to him, having a long conversation instead of getting him out of the classroom and continuing whatever they have to say there so I can carry on with the lesson... We've already wasted 5-minutes. My CT insists on hearing his "story", giving him the stage to act like an entitled little prince. After another few minutes, my CT tells me he thinks he's being treated unfairly. I quietly ask her to stop entertaining his tantrum and take the pointless conversation outside. The girl's still rubbing her head in pain and I saw the whole thing so obviously he threw it. She carries on listening to his bawling. All the while he's back chatting both of us and being incredibly rude.We decide to call the homeroom teacher, since he's refusing to follow our instructions... Surprise, the HR teacher is in a different dimension. He puts his head down on the desk and I decide to continue the class and deal with him afterwards. After class I tell him that until he apologises for his behaviour in front of everyone (the class needs to see that disobeying a teacher's instructions can't be tolerated), he will sit at the back of the room and not be part of anything.He throws another tantrum and me CT entertains is. I try to get him to calm down and explain, softly, that he did something wrong and once he apologises and promises not to do it again, everything will be cool... No dice, he gets even ruder, so I just send him off. I tell my CT that next class, he's to be sent to the back and no one is to interact with him. She also promises to chat with the HR teacher.Today, I arrived 2min late for class and guess who I find slouching in his chair, cutting up bits of eraser over the floor. I tell him to go to the desk at the back, he refuses. I ask my CT to get the HR teacher to drag him out... Across the classroom, not quietly so the other students can't hear, my CT asks me to "understand his situation and ignore him". I say no and tell him again, to move to the back chair. He throws another weeping tantrum. CT goes to him and they have another pointless argument. She insists on listening to his BS, during class, instead of taking it outside. How thick do you have to be to not know that you never undermine another teacher in front of the students? It seems that she's trying to find a way to take his side and ignore the situation.F*ck, she's useless.

Quote from: Aristocrat on October 21, 2016, 02:00:58 pmThis culture drives me up the wall. There is a strange insistance upon hearing out the students explanations for bad behavior at my school also and of course the explanations are ridiculous but always accepted. Is this common all over Korea? Kids at my school can essentially do anything and the only punishment seems to be occasionally writing some lines (and you have to get the teacher in charge of discipline for the entire school to bestow that harsh punishment).I've been cursed at, flipped off, and just openly disrespected and it is just accepted as normal. Kids just get sent to the hall (where they usually just goof off and play), I have to send kids out of class all the time and so do the Korean teachers. Sent a couple kids out to the hall today and they pulled the fire alarm, did not even warrant a talking to from a Korean teacher.Also, no matter what they do, if they say "sorry" afterwards then everything is ok. They usually say it with a big grin on their faces with no remorse whatsoever. A lot of my kids are great and it brings me a ton of joy teaching them but I will do my best to teach only adults after this year.
I don't understand where you're all working. I work at a normal public school in a relatively low income area. When a kid is being disrespectful to anyone, whether it's a teacher or a student, all my co-teachers zero in on it immediately and either change that student's seat, or make them come sit by the teacher's desk, or just yell at them.Maybe I'm just lucky, but yeah - I've never had to deal with that.

Needless to say, these classes have the most positive atmosphere, the smartest kids, and there's never been a single incident of anything worse than simple hormones doing their thing.At the other 2, one CT thinks every child is too precious for words and she doesn't have a solid bone in her body. The other CT is constantly in lala land and treats 6th grade students like adults.
Green pork? What would make pork go green?
I will not eat them in a house.I do not like them with a mouse.I do not like them here or there.I do not like them ANYWHERE!
