I truly love the way you develope people into characters. It really helps the reader build an image of your class (although I dread to think what your characture of me would be if I was in your class.…lol!). However, after working in HR for 14 years and having to counsel and discipline hundreds of adults, I agree that they are so much more complicated than children. I deeply admire teachers, they have the daunting task of shaping our future leaders.

.….…I guess that means that we can blame teachers for the mess the world is in at the moment!!! LOL!!!!

Best wishes as always ~ Graham

So essentially you are an all out “class act” then, lol [sorry couldnt resist the pun, heh]

It is interesting how people behave when bound by legislation and rigid office politics. I have to say that the teacher being the youngest in class is a nice surreal touch to the whole affair!

Oh well, nothing that the uberawesomeness that is Zhu can’t handle I am sure:)

Oof … though I would much rather be teaching adults than kids. I have no patience for the younger ones!

Lori : “Ça va bien aujourd’hui” just means “How are you today”” No, I didn’t swear at them

Aiglee : oh, yeah, young kids must be tough sometimes… and all the BF/ GF drama — I don’t think I could take it !

Rads: I now respect teachers, trust me ! I regret my behavior in High School… must be karma !

Trotter” but I get pay for it — makes a lot of difference

Max: thanks, it does look like a play — my life looks like a play sometimes anyway ! You have an eye for spotting these kind of things… I didn’t even notice it at first !

Shionge: it’s cool you learned Japanese though, I guess it makes sense considering where you lie. I’d take you as a student : I’m sure you won’t be a problem !

Shantanu : thank you very much for the praise. I like your blog too — I find your analysis very pertinent and smart. I’ll be back !

Hiya Teacher (Is it Oh..La?) I wish I pick up French when I was a teenager in addition to Japanese.….who knows you might just be my teacher huh?

Being an adult learner, I will and would listen attentively and pay respect to my language teacher, afterall we are adults

Thank you for sharing 101 day Zhu I can and could imagine the students’ attitude ya!

Hey Zhu,

I must say I loved this post; it caught my attention…it was like reading an excellent book!
It seems to me that the referred class is a very interesting: we have the super-diligent John, then the insecure pregnant lady, the class that knows that she’s pregnant but looks the other side, her best who probably knows that she’s expecting a baby but also pretends not to know…the teacher that watches all this as if watching a play…the characters coming out of a high-school play!

To add any other word would ruin the taste of it…

Cheers

It’s been such a long time since I stopped trying to teach anybody anything…

I have immense regard for teachers. Esp teachers of Special Ed and Elementary. Ive subbed, volunteered, and taught a few classes at my kids’ school and I know the effort that goes into staying true to oneself.

You know weirdly, I couldn’t read any comments yesterday form home. But then again, I’d rather see, comment and blog-hop from work
