Pictures with Students

My favorite student Rose. She had a rough day today, her last class with me and last class with Chris. She did a lot of crying. On a side note...this is after a LONG day of teaching... I look pretty crazy in this picture :)

She looks pretty happy here though.

The little girl in the front is my enforcer. She might be small but she is fierce! I just put her next to the really big annoying kid and give her the slappy hand. Any time the boy talks she will just beat the mess out of him... hehe

Poor Lucy was pretty sick today.

One of my best classes, all the girls are really smart.... the 3 boys didn't want to be in the picture.

The little fat boy in the front is great. A little stupid but really funny.

Another one of my favorite students (just because she is insane) is the girl behind me to the left in the green. First time I noticed her she was sitting on the floor chewing on the side of the desk..... this kid is awesome!

Check out my new game on the board in the background, thank you networking class for the inspiration.

The picture is sadly missing some kids from this class. It is a really big class and we usually split it boys/girls. The girls side usually moves to whichever classroom I am teaching in, so I don't know the boys well (there are more boys not in the picture). This class is pretty high level and smart.

This is one of the hardest classes to teach. Usually its the boys that are bad in class, but in this class the girls are nuts. They just run all over the place all the time. Its are hard class but one I like and enjoy teaching when I get them early enough in the day that i'm not tired.

A little calmer than the class above but about the same, also same Chinese teacher.

The girl standing ont he other girl in the front has a lot of attitude. She is smart but a pain in the ass sometimes. The boy right of her is just a pain. They flirt a lot.

Kids from the north side of the river.

This is another class that ends up like a madhouse of kids running everywhere, but its fun and they learn the material. Also north of the river.

This class needed two pictures, they were just to amusing. The little girl in the orange has a gimp left arm, she is really cute and sweet. She doesn't let the gimp arm get in her way at all when playing games, its impressive. Also north of the river.

A class that I used to hate, but now I have a lot of fun with. I eventually kicked the Chinese teacher out and took over the class. Not having her in the class made it easier to show that I was in charge (because she didn't do anything to help keep control of the class).

The Moon/Power class. Many classes we remember by certain students and this one has the REALLY young girl Moon, age 9 (on my shoulder). And the oldest Power, age 14 (big one standing next to me)

One of my great songjiang classes. Another one that went much better once the Chinese teacher started leaving the class. This is a really smart class and they like to insult each other.

This class is horrible and never goes well... but the students are really fun.... its just impossible to get anything done.

I might get a few more pictures tomorrow. There are two classes that I missed due to battery issues (stupid chinese batteries... unless you buy them from a really big supermarket they are probably fake batteries and don't work... at least i know this now)
