ok, wtf.
background: We have a new native English teacher. Long story short, due to personal reasons the girl from Australia went back home. The school decided to pick up this guy from New Zealand to take her place. (There's even a bit of back drama about how we came to have this guy in the first place, but it's minor compared to the bomb I'm about to drop right here...)

Anyway, the dude is in training right now. He's been watching all of our classes, grades 1-6. Well, he has his little followup training meetings with you-know-who and in one of them he tells her "I really like Kevin's style of teaching. I think I'm basically going to do the exact same thing he does."
Then you-know-who busts out with "That's a good idea. He's the only native speaker with a formal background in education and he's an excellent teacher."

w. t. f.

It wasn't that long ago that my lessons were deemed "inappropriate", and now suddenly I'm an "excellent teacher". It's official, this lady is off her rocker. I mean, she finally got the excellent teacher part correct (yes, I'm excellent and humble... ^_^) but to go from one extreme to the other like that in such a short period of time, during which I haven't changed a thing, crazy stuff.

I still feel achy, but due to changes in the schedule I don't have any classes tomorrow. I think can manage to just show up and drink coffee/TheraFlu all day long. It'll also give me time to work on my essays as I can't get a damn thing done in my apartment.

It's only 9:30? Oh well, I guess I'll turn in early. Hopefully the extra Z's will do me some good.
