Day 67

Tuesday March 25th,

The easy class day, Tuesdays are always welcome. I decided to not go into the DDC and instead catch up on some reading and sleeping and get ready for my English class tonight. As Katie, John's future wife, was in town, it was just me teaching the kids tonight. I felt bad for them. Anyways I set up a good routine where they would have lots of time to talk in conversation. Its really tough teaching this group of kids because, A. we only see them for 1 and 1/2 hours every week, which just isn't enough for them. Second, there are so many different levels in the class and so many different things that people need, I now understand how hard teaching must be, especially if the kids can't speak the same language. Teaching is tough, especially for some one like me, who has no teaching experience and doesn't really know the material all that well. I blame West Valley for not making grammar at all important in their curriculum.
