Some People Are Nice

by Karolin Oja »

In an attempt to make myself look not-so-grumpy, I will say that children are actually quite nice. Today?s Teachers? Day proved it as I had to teach English to the 5th and 3rd grade. Teacher Martma warned me about some students and they were the ones who were actually the most interesting. They did talk a lot but it didn?t disturb anyone, really.

So it?s quite stupid to say that a child has a need for attention. Everybody does, maybe it?s better to give them that attention. I did, and it turned out great, they even wanted me to become their real teacher and we actually did some work as well. So it?s all about the attitude.

And speaking of attitude, now I have a further need to punch some people in the face, I have never seen a class before where the girls are MUCH worse than the boys. What kind of girls write ?suka? and ?Teachers? Day sucks!? on blackboards and then say that the teachers are fuckers. It?s beyond me, yet they exist. The Ghetto of TEC?

But all in all, it was still really nice, it?s good to be pleasantly surprised.
