HI everyone,
There have been a lot of tents erected in the forum of late and I thought it would be good to erect a tent for all of us who work as teachers, or in schools perhaps, to let in the TAs, the office staff, and the canteen lady.
I teach Japanese from grade 1 - 6 at a Primary School in a rural town. I have also done High School and been a 4-5 class room teacher. I started teaching Japanese when I cut back my hours to 2 days a week. This is my 2nd year doing that. I love it.
The only reason I am teaching Japanese is that I lived in Japan for a year 30 years ago. So when the boss asked me if I could teach it, I said yes. Now I am doing a course in Japanese, Rosetta Stone, which I have got a bit slack with lately. Today, however is the day I am going to get back to it. It does help and I am much more able to rattle on in Japanese in my classes if I am regularly doing it.
There are 2 other teachers at my school who are doing 5:2. In fact it was they who inspired me to take it up. Now the boss is going to start because he's heard us enthusiastically discussing it in the staff room. He detailed us to talk to his wife because she wasn't keen. Now we've done that. So he could be joining us on Mondays and Thursdays. It's great to have fellow fasters at school.
