Just so I don’t leave out any of the embarrassing things the other teachers did during the weeks of us teaching here they are:
Kate taught a lesson on the difference between zoo animals and pets. Her lesson was good with pictures and then she started talking about her pet bird, Bill the Bird, that her mother accidentally killed. Kevin said he almost fell out of his chair and wrote her a funny message on her observation paper! She also tried to explain what a squirrel was and what a deer was. No one knew what a “lil miniature horse” was and they all started freaking out about this so called lil horse! I was so nervous the first time I was up in front of the class that I almost puked! All of my observers said I was white as a ghost and had this Nazi like approach when I called on a student! It was horrible! Steve Allen was the “okay” king of the world and once Annie counted on her paper how many times he said okay and it was absurd! Eventually he stopped saying okay and all was good in the world, but that didn’t stop him from running around the classroom smacking the floor and shouting FLOOR and the same for door and window…it was freaking amazing! Kris was teaching us Americans and he had this whole thing planned on his laptop and when he reached for it he dropped the MAC right on the floor and everyone gasped! The laptop made it thank God, but Kris was so worked up he was like F it. Sam was teaching a lesson on materialism and we had a student who owned her own studio and is a fashion designer, Laura. Sam was asking her some names famous designers like Fendi and he was writing the names on the dry erase board and spelling them completely ass backward and wrong! I was dying. Then he hummed Madonna’s Living in a Material World and we lost it! Oh shit another poke on me…I was teaching a lesson on Love and on the top of the worksheet is asked the question Are you a good Lover? There were questions asking the students to say if they would cheat, only have one partner, ect. Jordi (hate) decided to ask me in front of the entire class, “What do they mean by lover? Do they mean sex?” I just stood there and answered the question, “No Jordi they want to know about you ethics concerning relationships.” Meanwhile in the back of the class Steve A, Sam, and Kevin were losing it. Kevin dropped his papers and was laughing so loud I thought I was going to lose it. Sam had tears down his face and Steve wouldn’t stop either. I had to turn and face the whiteboard to compose myself and teach the rest of the lesson. It was a mess! Annie taught an entire lesson with her fly down and Steve and I pissed ourselves the entire time! I’m not nice…duh! Steve S would walk in to every class and say, “Hello class my name is Stephen. You can call me Stephen. Not only am I going to be your teacher I’m going to be your friend.” No joke. Kate said she peed her pants every time he said it and it sounded creepy each and every time he did it. Kate also taught a lesson on night life and parties. After class Ramses walked up to her and was like, “You like to party?” Kate told him that she did and then he gave her a piece of paper with a website on it and told her to check it out. Later we realized the website was a Furries website (people dressing up like furry animals and having pretend sex) and almost died! Kate said she could never look at Ramses in the eyes again.
So, all in all it was a success and I got to meet a lot of people through the classes such as Marc my new friend and intercambio.
