Had a crappy day on thursday. It was the sane old bullshit as ever, I had to do 4 hours of classes with a teacher who wants me to give absolutely no input to the lesson and just sit at the back of the room like a useless piece of shit. I am used to her manner to some degree, but never so far has she pushed me entirely from any control of the classroom. It was a total affront to me. I have no interest in being a useless piece of furniture. I think I could abide being ignored if my co-teacher were able to actually do the job, but that is not the case. She is unable to control the class in any form, which is a main aspect of her job. Another issue is that her English is not of a high enough level for her to teach alone, she makes many basic errors that should not be passed on to the kids. However it appears as though I have no real options though. I could rock the boat, but saving face seems too important to the Koreans. So I am forced to see that the best step forward for myself is just to let it pass me by and try to let go of the problems the kids may later face due to her teaching.
This is not a favourable result but it is the only one I can come to at this time.
