Feeling frustrated
We had a teachers' meeting today and I realized that I need to change how I teach and present the lessons. On one hand I was glad to learn the way students and the company want lessons presented, but on the other hand I was frustrated because I wished I'd learned this sooner during my training. I feel frustrated that I haven't been given stronger guidelines and examples of how to present lessons. I'm not very good at figuring it all out on my own. I'm the type of person that works and learns best with good, clear examples. I feel like I'm back at square one. They also want me to start teaching elementary and junior high students. This isn't what I signed up for, but I'll give it a try. I came to Japan to experience a different culture and to challenge myself and I'm definitley doing that. I was so mentally exhausted when I came home tonight that I couldn't do much. Everything was an effort. I did manage to do a load of laundry and chat to Jenn and Mom. I also watched All About Eve. I didn't know that Marilyn Monroe had a small part in the film. Bette Davis was such a great actress.
