Situation's Changed

So, last time i was pissing and moaning about how they're treating me like a babysitter, waah waah waah. Turns out, things done changed. I thought my culture class was for only 1 semester, and the oral class was the whole year. The culture class was the one i was really interested in. Turns out, its the other way around.

 

This is Awesome.

 

This means that this coming october holiday, me 'n grant are gonna come up with 15 classes worth of exercizes, and be done with our planning for oral for the whole semester, and then just recycle them for the coming semester. Thus, freeing me up to really work on the culture class and shape it the way I want it. I'm thrilled. I thought the class was going to be just reading from the book, but now that I have all this time, we can just power through the english history and then I can start talking about whatever I damn well please.

 

I can teach these kids about the Sex Pistols. Bwahahahahaha.

 

There's some murmurs that the final test is going to be based on the book. Arse to that. We're gonna be skippin' chapters left and right in this class. These kids don't need to know about Wales.

 

So, yeah. Forget their babysitter attitude. Teaching oral english is boring or interesting as I make it, but the culture thing is going to be FUN. I can teach 60 chinese kids about free jazz if i want to. Or dragonforce. The history of Mega Man. Punk rawk. They really wanna know about American music. As soon as I have wikipedia access, these kids are gonna know about the rap music.

 

I'm totally open to suggestions by the way. Email me.

 

So, forget what I said last time about teaching here. About being a babysitter. These kids signed on for American culture class, and I have their asses for a whole year. I am going to blow minds. Oral english might be a bunch of silly games to just get them to talk, and I'm at peace with that. It doesn't have to be boring, and if I want I can just modify the culture class to fit the Oral English class.

 

I am going to ROCK these fools. I just need to pick up a decent pair of external speakers and then one day it's gonna be "oh no kids look out we made it to the America section and we're gonna talk about the history of PUNK RAWK" and lo, they shall learn about the clash, and the ramones, and the sex pistols. And lo, they shall be tested on it. So god help them if they just think its noisy crap.

 

...I could test these guys on the history of Disco. I could test these guys on the plot of TRON!

 

Let this be a lesson to you all:

 

Never give me an ounce of power.
