Wednesday the 14th: Parent's Day Pt. II

Today was Parent’s Day part II. We had to get up and speak in front of the teachers again. After the main part of the day was over, I was assigned 3 children to privately teach after school. They were new to the school and needed to catch-up in terms of their English abilities. This proved to be a bit of a disaster because I was still extremely ill and the kids were, well, extremely uncooperative. One of them refused to talk and started crying for her mother. One of the others seemed much more intent on throwing ‘Aa’ ‘Bb’ ‘Cc’ cards across the room than on learning to pronounce them. We eventually learned 'A-B-C' and '1-2-3'.
