They Learn!
Nov. 9th, 2009 02:41 pmNarcing: an update.
Today I returned to the school where I’d had to end a class early and narc in a 2nd grade teacher for lack of preparation and cooperation.
The grade of the day was 1st graders . The third class of the day would be observed by visiting educators. I’d also made sure that the third period class would be taught by the most confident teacher in the group.
I was only worried about the second period class. First semester I’d had two very bad classes with the 2nd-2 teacher. Twice in a row she hadn’t prepared and would often translate my English into Japanese. Both times I attempted to remind her to not translate she ignored the hint, when I tried again she’d started arguing with me, in front of her students (in Japanese) about how English was too hard without the translations. Her bad behaviour culminated in her telling me (in Japanese) that a student was stupid and couldn’t pay attention when I spent extra time with an ADHD kid (who WAS grasping things quickly) and me having slightly harsh words with her after class…that was first semester. I’m pretty sure the second time I worked with her I left my two Japanese speeches about WHY I ask for no translation and WHY teacher attitude is important on her desk…but I can’t remember.
