Ready to Quit!
November 16, 2006
I am ready to quit once again. I have had it with these obnoxious teens. It is my C6 at Shimada Nishi. Their attitude is just degenerating. They did not start off so badly. Masumi teacher pointed out to me that they don’t say a word and really drain her. I feel the same way. The thing is that I can at least leave them. I only see them once a month.
They are getting worse. I really did not have a bad attitude going in, although I knew they would be difficult, I decided that I would let things roll off me. But when they ruined my sui kan sho chaku pumpkin game - I had had enough. I am trying to be fair to all the classes, gathering points and trying to do the same for all, no matter how bratty. When Shota (who walked into the class, not even acknowledging me and giving me the evil look as well, started turning cards over randomly, ruining the game really, I lost it. I spurted out in Japanese how they were wasting my time and asked them to leave. I thought, who cares, I am ready to quit. Of course they did not leave. Too bad.
What will I get myself into if I go into the public high school? Worse situations? There is at least supposed to be another teacher and a Japanese staff in a public high school rather than some private babysitting business. Well after yelling at them and trying to kick them out, they pretty much behaved but that attitude lingered. After class, they would not leave! I had to kick them out. Miraculously, they cleaned up their crap. I thought for sure I would be left doing that. It really is wonderful knowing that if you get fired, it would be a wonderful release. I just feel bad for Mas who is stuck with all of them. I did have my interview today with Ai for that Kyoto supervisor position, but may people applied and I feel that I don’t stand much of a chance. However the chance of a Kyoto promotion is what prevents me from quitting. I heard back from Jason that I would not be transferred until a year. So that is one avenue that is blocked. At least it is on record that I am unhappy. I can have a hissy fit and then quit. I hate the fact that the kids all say ‘bye bye’, yet are so disdainful about learning English. I feel like yelling at them, “Don’t you dare speak English if you hate it so much.”
