These are my babies.
Oh my gosh, I am so so sick of doing my TEFL course. I really, really wish that I could send them an email that said:
"Dear Mr TEFL Certification man,
I have been an English teacher for 6 years. In that time, I've had a little boy flash his penis at me, had to help 2 year olds make fairy bread, had a chair thrown at me and organised a play of "The Princess and the Pea" in a class with no girls and the boys fighting constantly over who had to play the princess. I think I am qualified enough to be a teacher. SO GO AWAY.
Love, Me."
Speaking of teaching, here is a list of names of Students that I have taught. Miss Frizzle lived with me in Hong Kong for 6 months, so some student names are hers as well:
1. Strawberry
2. Chicken Wing
3. Lost
4. Raisin
5. Pussy
6. Andrea. For a BOY
7. Einstein
8. Koala
9. Tiger
10. Witty (Hey, I like it! Adjectives as names! Very cool)
11. Joyous. And she really, really was.
12. Queenie
13. Sydney
14. Mozart
15. Bobo Chan
16. Bobo Wong
17. Shita. The only way I can think of to pronounce that is very rude.
18. Ice Cream
19. Elvis
20. Speculum
21. Alien
OK, I admit it, those last three aren't students. They are McDonalds workers. More random thoughts tomorrow! Yippee!

Hi it's leena - Just wanted to add to that list; my sister taught for ages and she had a student called 'fish' and another called 'lemon'. Her flatmate at uni is from Hong Kong and her name is Pansy. I also met a girl called Narcissus or however you spell it..
My faves from HK life are Fermy, Milk, Tomato, Alien (hey, have you been to the QB Macca's too?!?) and, the best ever: Openday Wong.
I must stop reading your blog. i have a job. until they find me reading your blog.
