For teaching every things been going ok. I love my kids, my school, and my family but sometimes it feels like I’m not making a huge difference. I just have so many students it can be difficult connecting to them. I dont even know most of their names. I miss teaching in America where I knew my kids siblings, hobbies, and favorite units. With no grades or accountability its hard to feel like I’m needed. Recently foreign teachers have been facing cuts throughout Korea as the education budget struggles. This worries me but when I see my work load compared to others its really hard to see my worth. I hope I’m helping my students culturally and with their native listening and speaking. My goals are for them to speak for naturally and to be comfortable. I use my class time more focused on allowing the students to practice natural speaking and having fun. They face enough stress in their lives and I hope I can give them a little bit of a break, even just once a group. I mean these kids are in school 8am until 10pm so they need it. I can just hope they're getting something out of it. They seam to like it and they seam to like me, but we’ll see haha.
I'm also trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I've got too many options, but I guess thats not really a problem haha.
