big brother and the whole damn family are watching

something that i didn't realize when i signed on to work at my school is that the bored mothers of my students would be hanging out on a regular basis watching me teach. yes, that's right. there are video cameras in all of the classrooms and parents come in all of the time to make sure that we are showering their children with English mastery skills and goodness. Needless to say, I absolutely love it. I also feel the need to mention that my home class is directly across from the parents watching me. so on hot days when i leave the door open i can watch the parent(s) watching me. it's pretty sweet. it doesn't really happen all of the time, but just a few times feels like too much. in a way, i understand that it's a way to ensure that your child is not being molested or abused or playing tic tac toe all day. BUT, come on. if anything, it certainly doesn't motivate me to become a better teacher. it just annoys me and makes me want to play tic tac toe all day. in korean.
