today i recieved a lecture about how to conduct my class from another teacher. apparently, a student told her the kids in the class were being loud and i can't control them. well, they were right about one thing, i can't control them! what am i supposed to say? the situation reminds me of the classic comedy "team america: world police." remember the part where the UN official was talking to kim jong il? and the UN guy tells him he has to allow other officials to view his headquarters (or something of that nature). and kim jong il asks what will happen if he doesn't allow this. to which the UN official replies, "well..... we will be very, very angry. and then we will write a letter telling you how angry we are."
that's exactly what discipline in bulgaria is.
these kids have been raised (in both the school system AND at home) to behave like little monsters. they do whatever the want, whenever they want and no one is going to tell them otherwise. they're like the kids from "my super sweet sixteen" without the glitz and glamour. and now, i am supposed to change all that when i see these kids for 40 minutes per week. riiiiiiight.
raising my voice doesn't help. they don't care about a weak ass note in the dnevnic (*attendence book which also serves as a place to document bad behavior). and half of them don't really care about their grades either.
TGIF. also, my slingbox is not starting. it says i don't have an internet connection... but seeing as how i am online and writing this blog, clearly i do. oh well. gilmore girls season 3 it is.
