When the Thai teacher leaves the room the Kindergarten class behaves differently. That was one learning this morning. The students don't understand English and I don't know their names; a situation that makes discipline difficult. They continue to parrot everything I say.
The 5th grade class can communicate in English, though there is great individual difference between the students. Some are quite able and others show little ability. I don't know how far I got with teaching them the use of a question mark, but I tried.
Being the dedicated teacher I am I timed this latest bout of food poisoning so I didn't miss teaching. I was sick, and I mean sick, from noon until 8pm, slept until 6:30am, got up did my lesson plans, ate breakfast and taught two classes. Where's my gold star?

I'll give you a gold star!
Hey Al - sounds like you are going well - and over obstacles as well - i'll give you a gold star!! however teachers normally give them out not get them (or maybe that's just in Australia) - have just about caught up on everything and got used to sleeping without the rooster/dog noises - it's hot here, although not as humid as Thailand - hope you are well - are you going to teach next week?
