Today when I was introducing myself to No. 11’s 7th grade class number 4, one student stood up and asked, “Do you like Lady Gaga’s booty?” I tried really hard not to laugh but it was difficult. The students liked our class so much that they asked the teacher if she could extend the time 45 minutes longer. The teacher said it may be a possibility. I gave them all my email and told them to email me with questions or for conversation. It was a great end to class today.
I have noticed that the students look up to their teachers more than they do in the US. It is very clear that the wisdom teachers have is very valuable to students and teaching is a much more respectable profession here. 60% of the students I pass (which is A LOT) say “Hello teacher!” (“Lao shi hao!”) and the students even stand up when I enter a room or pass by them on the street.
