what a day~~!!!

today was an eventful day.... the day started in the wee hours of the morning while i was online, i found out that my MSN account, which i've been using with no problems for..... 10 years.... now has been hacked and has a virus...

well... thats just MSN... so meh~~

then... i went to work today... and the principal of our academy wants to see me.... first time ever i had a talk with her....

it was about the foreign teachers meeting we had yesterday... due to the farce that goes on at my workplace, the foreign teachers have a lot to complain about....

i also added a complaint about the students who do nothing in class and just ruin the class atmosphere... students who repeatedly fail their tests were SUPPOSED to be expelled from the academy... but of course, the academy is a business... and from the business point of view, student = money.... so they never kick students out....

instead of the dropkicks getting kicked out, the good students walk out because the classes become a joke with kids who sit there and do nothing....

so.... the admin wanted to have a "chat" with me today.... about my issue.... which went from that one issue, to me being responsible for all foreign teachers' complaints... riiiiiiiiight

well, the outcome of the "chat" was a lot of back-chatting and telling the admin that they need to pull their finger out... i dont think they were too impressed with me telling them to their face how i felt about the 'disorganised' admin....

now the people wonder where i get the confidence to be cocky to the admin... well... it comes down to... they arent going to kick out shitty students... they arent going to kick out teacher who back-chat....

one of the issues in our academy is that the foreign teachers' class results have no influence to whether the student levels up, or repeats the same level again.... the admin says that the reason for that is that many foreign teachers dont try hard, nor do they really care about each student....

my answer to that was... they need to improve their recruitment policies, and for the teachers who do put in an effort to teach, that is just a slap in the face, and gives them a reason to just bum around in class.... the students know that the foreign teachers class has no influence on their final score.... so......

as u can see in the photo of my post today.... korea played soccer vs paraguay.... the game started at 8pm..... i was in class.... i use powerpoint classes now.... another "BRILLIANT" waste of money policy introduced by my academy.... so.... i just let the slideshow roll while i peep on the soccer on my screen.... i guess... its not my problem anymore.... the boss can consider it lucky that i didnt put the soccer on the big screen for the kids.... ^^

damn korean admin......
