So so so so so tired~~~
Hot 6 ||
Finally got a chance to sit down and write something about last week~
One of the teachers in our district suddently got fired and she just left without handover, which is really irresponsable~
I have six classes in different levels, and now I'm having another new class ! Oh my god, it's killing me. It means I have to work 59 hours one week, and I have to work from 8 am to 8 pm at weekends....
Today is Monday, maybe it's a new weekyday for others, but for me, it's my only "weekend". But I have to decorate my new house recently, so I barely have time to turn on my laptop and play. I wish we can have an app in Android, so I can use my Sumsung S3 to write in English every moment I want.
Being an English teacher in such kind of school makes you weaker and weaker. Most of the teachers here are in poor health, how can we improve that?
Another thing that frustrates me a lot is that the English education in Tianjin is not so developed compared with other mega cities, and I can't make a difference for now. Maybe Tina, the principal is right, if you want to change the rules and even make the rules, first of all, you have to obey the rules.
I want to be somebody, and I won't give up!!!

- Teaching is not like it was before. They are demanding so much from the teachers that they all become tired, exhausted and frustrated. The workload is far too excessive while the remuneration is unsatisfactory. It is time to look into this undesirable situation before the education system is affected.

- One apple a day, doctor go away. Care your health, and insist on doing physical training. Now you can enjoy your summer vacation.

- What your principal has said about the rule is rubbish. Because the rule maker can not make the rules which are against the laws. Workplace relation act is a law, the law has not given employers the rights to force employees to work over time.
However, why could you principal still force you to work exceeded hours, because she pretty sure that you care about your job and you haven't got enough power to challenge her decision. So what can you do about it?
If this happen to me, first thing I need to say to myself that 59 hours work will not hurt me much. Please understand if you mind feels sick then your body will follow it soon. Then I will try to complete the work by putting less effort, looking for an appropriate way to send a message to the principal, let her realised this working environment is not going to sustainable for a long run. also sending a signal to the parents, let them pressure the school. I believe that things will gradually get changed.
If you are sick and have a symptom of "hot brain", just put an ice pack on your head. Oh it's cool!
