Am I a Robot?

I just got back from my director’s house for a dinner. A group from the Ministry of Education in Bangkok came to check our school, especially the English program classes. The observation will start tomorrow from 9 in the morning until 12 noon.

During our meeting with the directress last week, she said that the group will only observe with the English Program classes. I was glad because I never taught with the EP students. But today, I was very surprised that I will be teaching with the Grade 3 and 4 EP students tomorrow and they’ll be observing me. You know what??? I objected so much because from the starts I never taught with the EP classes and I’m always teaching with the Mini English classes. I tried to argue because what they’ve been doing is not right at all! I told them that what I am going to teach, they never give me the text books that they’ve been using…..What they think of me…A ROBOT! Definitely, I will refuse to teach with the EP classes tomorrow, if they will do…..I don’t know that to do! I will not teach….that’s all!

One thing more, they paid much to the EP foreign teachers, just recently an African man from Kenya, accepted and got higher salary than I…HUH! And they’re paying me less as ever so they could get what they want tomorrow. By the way, the English Program classes the three subjects have been taught in English (The mathematics, science, and English) And I am teaching with the mini-English only..which I only teach on listening and speaking..(Conversational English)

Anyways, I had a good time there today, eating lots of food and lots of durian fruits, etc.
