Still Expanding!

Today during 7th hour, a student by the name of Chris walked into my class and said "Ms. Pint, I'm in your 7th hour class now too!" That's right, yesterday I added five new boys to my class and now there is a sixth; my class size has doubled in the last forty-eight hours.

Now this newest edition is not necessarily a bad one, but it will make me watch what I saw more: Chris is the only American student in the school. He is obviously fluent in English (which practically none of my students were before the addition of Chris) but what is more concerning is that he gets all of my semi-inappropriate comments and jokes in class that are completely lost on ESL students.

I guess this will be good practice for me for when I return to American schools: larger class sizes and not being able to really say "that's what she said" while teaching. Sad day.
