Testing Week

Sorry, but this post won't be that exciting. Last week was the week where the students take their level up tests. Which meant that all the teachers spent long hours proctoring and not a lot of time teaching. Needless to say it was a very easy week. Now with 3 weeks left in my first term, rumor has it that once the students find out if they're leveling up or not they stop caring and some become a problem. So basically I have to start devising my battle plan of psychological warfare against the students to keep the troublesome ones quiet and the good ones interested. That was actually an epiphany I came to a few weeks ago. Especially in a private school, teaching is all about psychological warfare between you and the students. Sadly though, some of the students realize this as well. One of your kids may be 3 feet tall and look adorable, but they might have the mind of an evil super genius when it comes to causing trouble in class.
