abstract art

i hate the kids i teach.  ok la not all but just a few of them.  they can be so damn rude and show no respect.  

a 9 yr old came into class today(she's technically not in my class anymore because she hasn't paid her fees to continue her lessons with me) and slammed two stacks of papers at my table.  i asked her what that was for and she just said " make into book la" without any eye contact at all.  when i told her the news that class will be closed and i might not come back to this outlet to teach because of insufficient students to keep a class going, she just collected the pile, walked out and slammed the door shut.  (WTF!)

anyway, today only 4 students came in, which is quite a pleasant thing to happen for me.  small classes is a no-hassel at all, and class control is A*.  i carried out the activity with pleasure, and it sure marks a good end to my time teaching there.  i should say everyone's abstract art created out of masking tape turned out pretty successful. 


at the end of the day, i collected all of the masking tape and wound the small torn pieces back onto the cardboard ring that used to store it.  think it can be put to great use one day.
