This week Sports week at my school. I know I know, what does a game of dodge ball have to do with education at a college level. Teacher participation was mandatory for many of my classes and since many of my students don't have English related majors, English isn't a priority to the heads of their departments. Guess who had to join the Sports days exercises as opposed to teaching English for many of his classes. Now I will admit that I had fun, however, due to the fact that my "new schedule" was told to me at the last possible moment, AND (again) teacher participation was mandatory (I was payed to practice dodge ball and badminton). The week wasn't a complete waste, since I did teach my 2 Monday morning classes, however, all my afternoon classes were practicing for sports week Monday through, Wednesday and Thursday and Friday was the actual event. my classroom participation was shall we say, "limited'.
