Teacher! Teacher, Here Teacher!

I feel like a teacher! After one day of teaching, I find myself talking to others like an ESL teacher. Slow, deliberate, short sentences. Luc and I call each other "Teacher" as the students call us. It's hard to switch back to talking normally.

This morning, every teacher from the school had to attend a workshop because in January, they are changing the curriculum. It is going to be the most boring thing to teach in the world. Before, there were activities and the kids had fun through games. Now, there are no games. They read articles. And we have to prep at least 14 questions per article (3-11 articles depending on level a day). There is going to be a lot more prep time, lame. We get used to one way of doing things, and they change it on us.
