Working with O-Soon continues to be irritating. She keeps bringing things to share for lunch but everytime I do she says she doensn't like that. Now back when we started talking about lunch I mentioned that I wanted to learn to make Kimbab and would probably be bringing some. She seemed enthusiastic about the prospect of having kimbab. When I brought some in today (store bought admittedly) and proudly showed it her to her she was like "That's your lunch" "I brought it for us to share" "That's your lunch" with a disdainful look on her face. Aaargh! Then she went on to lecture me on how we couldn't have a movie day because the parents would complain and if she were a parent she wouldn't like it. The movie day was her idea. It was her fucking idea. Also as a note, when she and I first started discussing the lesson plans for English camp she asked me "Do you have any ideas?" as if it was the only English she knew...Needless to say when I hear it now I cringe

"No problem we could have a game day" I offer.
"We could make a worksheet for the students"
"Sure, we could that if you like"
"It would have to be a worksheet about the movie."
"Okay"
"What English can they learn from the movie"
"The movie is a listening exercise. It's not really to learn English"
"What English can they learn from the movie for the worksheet?"
"The worksheet should probably be in Korean so we can ask harder questions, can you make it?"
"They can watch this movie at home."
"Well, if they watch it at home, they watch it dubbed not with subtitles"
"If I was a parent I would complain to watch a movie"
"We don't have to watch a movie"
"Do you have any ideas?"


At this point I punched her in the face.



Not really, instead I said


"We don't have to watch a movie. We can play a game instead."
"I think we should change the schedule. Not watch a movie."
"Okay"
"What's your opinion?"
"About changing our schedule?"
"We should play a game. Golden Bell Quiz game."

At this point I went into a blind rage and slaughtered everything in a 100 mile radius.

Or I said.
"Okay."
"Do you have the materials?"
"What?"
"Do you have the boards and markers and quiz?"

"For a game I didn't plan on playing, sure, I keep all that stuff in a cupboard marked F*** YOU"

or I said

"We have boards but no markers"
"I can get markers. We need a game."
"I thought you wanted Golden Bell Quiz Game?"
"These are 3rd graders, they need an easier version. Can you do it?"

"Sorry, I'm busy writing my murder/suicide note"

or

"Right now?"
Then as if all generousity and benificence shone from her ass
"We can wait until the afternoon"

BLARGH!!!

  1. Wow. That is some messed up dialogue. Your co-teacher sounds like she's on crack. When do you get a new one? I used to write blogs about my co-teachers like this and though I never wanted them to know about, a part of me did--just so they'd see what kind of torturous lesson-planning hell they put me through! And I say stop feeding her. Start bringing delicious lunches for yourself and exclaiming how amazing they are! Make her jealous of your exotic western food. :)

  2. Just gets better & better with each telling.

    Glad I was on the other side of town when you went blind with berserker rage.

    Finished the books - sobbed the last 50 pages. My husband told me to stop reading those books - they just make you cry. Needless to say - the sock is still in his mouth & I am still reading.

    By the way, do you have any ideas for tonight?

    Ha ha ha
