Not a whole lot to report for Tuesday. My first class was with the youngest students, and as always it was an adventure. Yuzuha and Karin, her sister, had a big fight right off the bat about where book they could use, and I had to spend 10 minutes just refereeing that fight before we could get on with the lesson. Luckily the other students are patient.<\/p>\n
I really noticed today just how high maintenance Yuzuha and her sister are. They haven’t really developed much independence like the other students in my classes. Maybe just a difference in parenting styles. Anyway, they literally can’t do much of anything without direction. <\/p>\n
On the other end of the scale my junior high school class went pretty well. The students there were pretty tired out from some school activities, but they participated in the lesson and really tried their best. <\/p>\n
Oh, almost forgot. One of my students decided to quit. I’m not sure why, but it is one of the quietest students in my Tuesday classes. She will barely talk to anyone in either Japanese or English, and so maybe she just is too intimidated by the very vocal classroom. I don’t know why, but there will be one less student for me to teach every week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
