This website wasn't loading yesterday, which kind of broke my attempt to do a post every day, so to make up for it I will write something very quick now, and write again this evening.

I like tuesdays, as on tuesday I have my favourite class. I do wonder whether or not I should have a favourite class, because what follows from having a favourite class is to have a least favourite class, and hence a class I don't like teaching. What makes me like one of my tuesday classes so much is that they actually get involved with my lesson. It doesn't matter what I do, they're enthusiastic and they even do the incredibly rare thing of asking questions. They maybe even ask too many questions! No, that's not possible - but it does get to the point that the lesson slows right down because of all the questions.

One of the students even likes jumping up to the board to explain anything she doesn't know, which she can't explain in words. I have no problem at all with students doing that sort of thing, as it is simply to ask questions and actually learn. If students were just getting out of their seats for no reason, I wouldn't be so happy.

Running such a liberal class does have its down-sides, in the form that some students think it's ok to never ever stop talking, but i've mentioned that before. Other students attempt to use my lesson to catch up on sleep, but that apparently is pretty universal around the whole of China for lessons run by foriegn teachers. I do feel guilty waking them up though, considering just how long and intensive their days are.

As i said at the start, i'm keeping this one short so I can write again tonight. So, this is the end for now.
